Behavioral and cognitive problems are among the most common and troubling consequences of traumatic brain injury Furthermore, behavioral and cognitive challenges typically develop in complex ways, necessitating an integrated approach to intervention and supports. This article summarizes literature on interventions positively affecting the behavioral outcomes for individuals with brain injury. This literature extends many of the traditional approaches to behavioral intervention and cognitive rehabilitation to include positive behavioral support and the development of personally meaningful activities for program development. In addition, the article provides a framework for intervention based on the decades-long work of Mark Ylvisaker, which is founded on positive principles of assessment and treatment and is implemented in a context-sensitive manner that integrates cognitive and behavioral intervention themes and focuses on the development of self-regulation.

Mechanisms of cognitive impairment associated with cerebral infarction.

Zhong Nan Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban

Department of Neurology, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha 410011, China.

Cerebral infarction is a common type of stroke with high incidence and disability rates, and most patients experience varying degrees of cognitive impairment. The manifestations and severity of post-infarction cognitive impairment are influenced by multiple interacting factors, and its pathophysiological mechanisms are highly complex, involving pericyte degeneration, excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), overproduction of glutamate, and overactivation of autophagy. After cerebral infarction, abnormal pericyte function activates neuroinflammation and facilitates the entry of inflammatory mediators into the brain; detachment of pericytes from blood vessels disrupts the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

Ischemic stroke, a neurological condition with a complicated etiology that is accompanied by severe inflammation and oxidative stress, and ethanol (EtOH) may aggravate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced brain damage. However, the effect of prolonged alcohol intake on acute brain injury remains ambiguous. As part of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, p38γ is involved in ferroptosis and inflammation in various diseases.

Electronic address:

1-Octen-3-ol is a volatile compound widely found in various fungi and plants, and studies have suggested its potential role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanism by which 1-octen-3-ol induces neural injury in rats remains unclear. In this study, we used aerosolized 1-octen-3-ol to treat depressive model rats to investigate its effects on neural injury behaviors and neurophysiology in SD rats.

Background: Externally caused traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses a woeful worldwide health concern, bringing about disability, death, and prolonged neurological impairment. Increased galectin-3 levels have been linked to unfavorable outcomes in several neurological conditions. This study explores the role of galectin-3 in TBI, specifically examining its contribution to neuroinflammation.

Trimethylamine N-oxide induces cardiac diastolic dysfunction by down-regulating Piezo1 in mice with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Life Sci

Department of Physiology, Hebei Medical University, 050017, Hebei, China; The Key Laboratory of Neural and Vascular Biology, Ministry of Education, 050017, Hebei, China; Hebei Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Homeostasis and Aging, 050017, Hebei, China. Electronic address:

Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the direct link between trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and diastolic dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Materials And Methods: Diastolic dysfunction is the main manifestation of HFpEF, so the "two-hit" mouse HFpEF model are used. After treated with high-fat diet (HFD) and N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) for 8 weeks, the cardiac function, myocardial fibrosis, oxidative stress levels, and molecular alterations were assessed.
