The imaging of head trauma has been one of the fundamental cornerstones of neuroradiology. As the practice of neuroimaging has matured, great strides have been made in the diagnostic as well as prognostic armamentarium available to physicians. Given the vast diversity of trauma mechanisms and clinical pathways, new advanced imaging technologies have had a lasting impact on the detection, description, and depiction of head trauma. Furthermore, these new tools are allowing the imaging specialist to function not only as an interpreter of what is seen but as a 21st century radiographic oracle. We present a comprehensive review of the imaging findings of sequlae of traumatic brain injury and the growing correlation of new neuroimaging techniques and neurotraumatic outcomes.

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common condition of the hip that can cause significant damage to the joint, leading to degeneration and osteoarthritis. FAIS constitutes an abnormal and dynamic contact between the femoral head-neck junction and the acetabular rim, resulting from altered bone morphology at one or both sites. Repetitive trauma at the site of impingement generates progressive damage to the acetabular labrum, chondrolabral junction, and articular cartilage.

Purpose: Traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury impact all areas of individuals' quality of life. A synthesis of available evidence for the Traumatic Brain Injury Quality of Life (TBI-QoL) and Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life (SCI-QoL) measurement systems could inform evidence-based clinical practice and research. Thus, we aimed to systematically review the literature of existing evidence on the measurement properties of SCI-QoL and TBI-QoL among rehabilitation populations.

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, such as ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), are a significant global burden. The complex pathophysiology of CNS injury is comprised of primary and secondary injury. Inflammatory secondary injury is incited by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which signal a variety of resident CNS cells and infiltrating immune cells.

Objective: To estimate cost models of military traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can provide evidence for future cost-effectiveness analyses highlighted as a gap in the recent National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report on accelerating progress in TBI.
Setting: Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) and community care facilities within the Military Health System (MHS).
Participants: 1,101 service members/veterans (SMV) diagnosed with a TBI and treated at a Veterans Administration (VA) Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center (PRC).

Introducción y objetivo: La Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe) es una escala autoadministrable que evalúa cambios comportamentales (apatía, desinhibición y disfunción ejecutiva) luego de una lesión cerebral. El objetivo del trabajo fue obtener indicadores de rendimiento del puntaje total y las sub-escalas de la FrSBe para adultos de habla hispana de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, analizar el efecto de variables demográficas y obtener datos normativos del instrumento. Materiales y métodos: se incluyeron 169 participantes y 83 familiares de esos participantes de Buenos Aires que completaron una encuesta para datos demográficos y la versión en español de la FrSBe.
