November 2023
Background: Agitation is a common reason for psychiatric consultation in the general hospital. The consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatrist is often tasked with teaching the medical team how to manage agitation.
Objective: The purpose of this scoping review is to explore what resources the CL psychiatrist has for educational tools on teaching about agitation management.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in people transitioning from normal cognition to dementia, focusing on the mild behavioral impairment (MBI) construct as a useful assessment tool.
- The research utilized data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center to compare NPS prevalence between individuals with and without a history of TBI over a period of about 7.6 years.
- Findings indicated that more severe TBI was linked to specific NPS, such as social inappropriateness and abnormal perceptions, suggesting that individuals with TBI may experience greater behavioral disruptions throughout dementia progression.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common source of functional impairment among athletes, military personnel, and the general population. Professional fighters in both boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) are at particular risk for repetitive TBI and may provide valuable insight into both the pathophysiology of TBI and its consequences. Currently, effects of fighter weight class on brain volumetrics (regional and total) and functional outcomes are unknown.

Methods: Incidence of NPS was examined in participants with normal cognition who progressed to all-cause dementia based on whether TBI history was present (n = 130) or absent (n = 849).
Introduction: Maxillary hypoplasia after cleft lip and palate (CLP) repair can result in significant functional and aesthetic impairments. Le Fort I osteotomy & advancement and Le Fort I distraction osteogenesis are standard treatment options for individuals with CLP-associated midface retrusion. However, both of these modalities continue to be associated with a high relapse rate.
