Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) from 1990 to 2019, revealing a significant global public health issue with 27.16 million new cases in 2019 and a steady rate of incidence and prevalence over the years.
- - A secondary analysis of TBI data included factors like age, sex, and region, showing trends in years lived with disability (YLDs) and identifying high-risk areas, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe and Australia.
- - The findings highlighted that males experienced a higher incidence rate of TBI and that falls and road traffic injuries were leading causes of moderate to severe cases, which comprised over half of all TBIs recorded in 2019. *
Purpose: The study aimed to examine the pattern of motorization and the mortality rate related to road traffic crashes in Zunyi (a city in northern Guizhou province of China) from 2013 to 2022, and to identify the epidemiological characteristics of these crashes with to provide insights that could help improve road safety.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Zunyi traffic management data platform, and the mortality rates were calculated. We deployed various analytical methods, including descriptive analysis, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test of categorical variable, circular distribution map analysis, and Rayleigh test to characterize the traits of road traffic crashes in the region.
Purpose: Mannitol is one of the first-line drugs for reducing cerebral edema through increasing the extracellular osmotic pressure. However, long-term administration of mannitol in the treatment of cerebral edema triggers damage to neurons and astrocytes. Given that neural stem cell (NSC) is a subpopulation of main regenerative cells in the central nervous system after injury, the effect of mannitol on NSC is still elusive.
