Utility of Computed Tomography Angiography of the Head in the Management of the Blunt Trauma Patient with Intracranial Hemorrhage.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Trauma Services (E.W.R., B.S., M.L., M.R.), OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Columbus; and Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (K.W., N.K.), Athens, Ohio.
Background: Computed tomography angiography of the head (CTAH) is not routinely obtained during the initial evaluation of patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (ICH); however, it is useful for diagnosing vascular pathologies that may have led to the bleed. The aims of this study were to identify traumatic ICH patient characteristics on presentation that are associated with positive CTAH findings to elucidate which ones should prompt a CTAH and compare outcomes of patients with positive and negative CTAH findings.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 522 patients who had blunt traumatic ICH and subsequently received CTAH between January 1, 2017, and January 1, 2022.
Neurobehavioral Symptoms Partially Mediate the Effects of Depression and PTSD on Participation for Veterans With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Author Affiliations: Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Drs Wyrwa, Burke, Forster, and Kinney), Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Psychiatry, and Neurology (Dr Brenner), University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, Colorado; and VA Rocky Mountain Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center (MIRECC) (Dr Brenner, Mr Yan, Ms Schneider, Mr King, and Drs Forster and Kinney), Aurora, Colorado.
Objective: To examine whether neurobehavioral symptoms mediate the relationship between comorbid mental health conditions (major depressive disorder [MDD] and/or posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD]) and participation restriction among Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Setting: Veterans Health Administration (VHA).
Participants: National sample of Veterans with mTBI who received VHA outpatient care between 2012 and 2020.
Assessing Traumatic Brain Injury in Refugees: Feasibility, Usability, and Prevalence Insights From a US-Based Clinical Sample.
J Head Trauma Rehabil
January 2025
Author Affiliations: Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts (Ms Sherman Rosa); Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts (Mr Nadal); and Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts (Dr Saadi).
Objective: This study assessed (1) the feasibility and usability of traumatic brain injury (TBI) assessment using the Ohio State University TBI Identification Method (OSU-TBI-ID) in a sample of English and Spanish-speaking refugees and asylum seekers (hereafter refugees), and (2) the prevalence and characteristics of TBI in this population.
Setting And Participants: Refugees seeking care from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Asylum Clinic, the MGH Chelsea HealthCare Center, and other asylum programs in the Greater Boston Area.
Design And Main Measures: Bilingual clinical research coordinators screened 158 English and Spanish-speaking refugees using the OSU-TBI-ID.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of early/unplanned (E/U) separations following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and assess whether sex impacts the hazard of separation.
Setting: Military Health System (MHS).
Participants: Active duty service members (N = 75,730) with an initial mTBI diagnosis in military records between January 2011 and January 2018.
Investigation of Genetic Polymorphisms Related GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1 Genes and their Association with Radiotherapy Toxicity among Head and Neck Cancer Patients.

January 2025
Department of Molecular Biology & Genetics, Krishna Institute of Allied Sciences, Krishna Vishwa Vidyapeeth "Deemed to be University", Taluka-Karad, Dist- Satara, Pin-415 539, (Maharashtra) India.
Background: In this study we explored the association of polymorphisms of glutathione s transferase gene including GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 with adverse acute normal tissue reactions resulted from radiotherapy in HNC patients. We assessed the association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes and Ile105Val of exon-5 and Ala114Val of exon-6 of GSTP1 gene polymorphisms with the risk of acute skin toxicity reactions after therapeutic radiotherapy in HNC patients.
Methods: Four hundred HNC patients administered with Intensity modulated radiation therapy were enrolled in this study for the evaluation of radiotherapy associated toxicity reactions.
