Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global health issue, leading to high rates of death and disability, necessitating evidence-based management to reduce secondary injuries.
- A multidisciplinary team reviewed various TBI-related topics over 18 months, formulating questions and recommendations using established frameworks to guide treatment approaches.
- The panel developed 14 evidence-based recommendations for managing severe TBI in children, addressing key areas like imaging, neuromonitoring, and nutrition, while also outlining research priorities in this field.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how seasonal changes (winter vs. summer) impact oocyte (egg) quality in women struggling with infertility during in vitro fertilization.
- Researchers analyzed 155 IVF cycles, noting significant differences in oocyte quality during summer (71 cycles) compared to winter (84 cycles), using specific quality assessment categories.
- The results indicated that summer oocytes generally had better quality, while winter oocytes exhibited more abnormalities and lower quality, highlighting the need for further research on potential influencing factors like diet and exercise.
