Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common and costly. Although neuroimaging modalities such as resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI) promise to differentiate injured from healthy brains and prognosticate long-term outcomes, the field suffers from heterogeneous findings. To assess whether this heterogeneity stems from variability in the TBI populations studied or the imaging methods used, and to determine whether a consensus exists in this literature, we performed the first systematic review of studies comparing rsfMRI functional connectivity (FC) in patients with TBI to matched controls for seven canonical brain networks across injury severity, age, chronicity, population type, and various imaging methods.

- Researchers explored how combining DNA vaccination with a potent HBV neutralizing antibody might improve treatment for chronic HBV infections, which are hard to manage due to weak immune responses.
- In a study with mice, treatment with the antibody and a DNA vaccine led to the development of specific immune cells in the liver, enhancing immune recruitment but also indicating T cells became dysfunctional over time.
- While this combination therapy did not fully cure the infection, it showed promise by improving the immune response and providing insights into how the liver tolerates HBV.
Background: Limited information is available about functioning and related impairments of children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy (CP) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) like Brazil. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics, functioning, and impairments of Brazilian children and adolescents with CP.
Methods: Cross-sectional preliminary study as part of the PartiCipa Brazil multicentered cohort study.
According to a biopsychosocial framework, personal and environmental factors might be mediators or facilitators/barriers, respectively, to functioning. However, it is not known how these factors can impact independence in household chores in children/adolescents with Down syndrome (DS). This study explored whether and how personal/environmental factors are associated with the independence level in household chores of children/adolescents with DS in Brazil.
