Importance: Neonatal protein intake following very preterm birth has long lasting effects on brain development. However, it is uncertain whether these effects are associated with improved or impaired brain maturation.

Objective: To assess the association of neonatal protein intake following very preterm birth with brain structure at 7 years of age.

The importance of interactions between neighbouring rapidly growing tissues of the head during development is recognised, yet this competition for space remains incompletely understood. The developing structures likely interact through a variety of mechanisms, including directly genetically programmed growth, and are mediated via physiological signalling that can be triggered by structural interactions. In this study, we aimed to investigate a different but related potential mechanism, that of simple mechanical plastic deformation of neighbouring structures of the head in response to soft tissue expansion during human postnatal ontogeny.

Inter-facility transfers to an urban level 1 trauma center and rates of secondary overtriage.

Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg

January 2025

Delray Medical Center, Division of Trauma and Critical Care Services, 5352 Linton Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL, 33484, USA.

Purpose: Many patients originally transported to non-trauma centers (NTC) require transfer to a trauma center (TC) for treatment. The aim was to analyze injury characteristics and outcomes of transfer patients and investigate the secondary overtriage (SOT).

Methods: Study included 2,056 transfers to an urban level 1 TC between 01/2016 and 06/2020.

Purpose: D-dimer, a fibrinolysis indicator, may predict functional and life outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. We aimed to identify optimal D-dimer cutoff values for poor functional outcomes in severe TBI.

Methods: We used data from a multi-centre prospective observational cohort study that included patients with TBI with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score ≤ 8 within 48 h after injury or required neurosurgical procedures.

Introduction: In space, under weightlessness conditions, human brain activity is changed due to the shifting of body fluid and blood toward the cephalic region. This shifting leads to changes in cerebral hemodynamics and, consequently, neurophysiological function, which impacts mental functions like cognition and decision-making capabilities of space travelers. The present study reports the effect of acute exposure to simulated microgravity on cognitive functions and event-related potentials.
