Aims And Background: To add a further contribution to the literature supporting the relationship between previous head trauma and development of glioma.
Methods: We report on four patients who developed brain gliomas in the scar of an old brain injury.
Results: All cases fulfilled the widely established criteria for brain tumors of traumatic origin. In all of our cases there was radiological evidence of absence of tumor at the time of the injury.
Conclusions: We believe that in specific cases it is reasonable to acknowledge an etiological association between a severe head trauma and the development of a glioma. This assumption is further sustained if there is radiological and surgical documentation of the absence of neoplasia at the moment of the trauma.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity, particularly in forensic settings where determining the cause of death and timing of injury is critical. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a biomarker specific to astrocytes, has emerged as a valuable tool in post-mortem analyses of TBI. A PRISMA-based literature search included studies examining GFAP in human post-mortem samples such as brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum, and urine.

Health-related behavioral changes may occur following traumatic brain injury. We focused on understanding the impact of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) on health-related behaviors and identifying factors associated with such changes. We utilized health check-up records from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database spanning January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2017.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of minimally invasive dermabrasion for deep second-degree facial burn wounds during the early postburn phase.
Methods: A total of 35 patients with deep second-degree facial burns underwent minimally invasive debridement using a hydrosurgery system within 2-4 days post-injury. Subsequently, the wounds were covered with human biological dressings.
