Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a rare sequel of head injury. There are few reports on the subject. This article presents the case of a young patient who developed OCD several years after head injury. In the light of the present state of knowledge, the authors discuss the relationship between OCDS and the brain lesions observed, their localizations and their physiopathological mechanisms, which may explain the occurrence of the disorder.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global health concern that often results in death or disability, and effective pharmacological treatments are lacking. G protein-coupled receptor 56 (GPR56), a potential drug target, is crucial for neuronal and glial cell function and therefore plays important roles in various neurological diseases. Here, we investigated the potential role and mechanism of GPR56 in TBI-related damage to gain new insights into the pharmacological treatment of TBI.

Background: Elbow dislocations are common injuries, classified as simple or complex based on the presence of fractures. While the stabilizing structures of the elbow have been well-studied, the influence of proximal ulna anatomical variations on the risk and severity of dislocations remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate Proximal Ulna Dorsal Angulation (PUDA), Proximal Ulnar Varus Angle (PUVA), and Olecranodiaphyseal Angle (ODA) in healthy individuals, patients with simple elbow dislocations, and those with complex elbow dislocations.

Objectives: To quantify real-world impact conditions of falls, which cause 50% to 90% of older adult traumatic brain injuries, and reconstruct them using dummy headforms to analyze kinematics and injury outcomes.
Design: Mixed-methods: Observational and experimental.
Setting And Participants: An open-access dataset of 118 videos of head impacts at long-term care facilities was used.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the optimal position for the femoral neck system (FNS) device when fixing Pauwels III #NOF, by analyzing the mechanical stability and stress distribution of FNS at different screw placement positions for the fixation of Pauwels III femoral neck fractures.
Methods: We employed finite element analysis to create a 3D model of a Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture. Six models were designed, each with varied FNS screw placement positions.

The study examined the combined effects of procarbazine (PCZ) and omega-3 on cognitive functions, motor skills, and brain histology in male rats over ten days. While PCZ has antitumor properties, omega-3 is a dietary supplement with potential health benefits. Here, forty-eight adult male Wistar rats, averaging 230 to 250 g, were used in this study.
