Crushing head injuries usually do not allow direct visual identification of individuals, and above all, it constitutes an obstacle to comprehensive evaluation of discrete traumatic changes of the skin and soft tissues. We present our experience with the plastic adaptation of devastating head injuries in the two exemplary cases. The principal of the reconstruction is manual repositioning of bone fragments of the cranial and facial parts of the skull and careful approximation of the wound edges and their gradual suture using suture material. The reconstruction method can be recommended as an auxiliary technique in the identification of unknown victims with crushing head injuries and in the evaluation of devastating gunshot wound of the head.

Vascularized composite allograft (VCA) transplantation represents a significant advancement in reconstructive surgery and offers hope to individuals who experienced congenital disorders or severe tissue injuries to restore physical appearance, function, and enhance quality of life. VCA recovery introduces complexities to conventional solid organ recovery, and there remain concerns regarding the potential impact of VCA recovery on non-VCA organs for transplant. The current retrospective study examines deceased donor characteristics and observed-to-expected (O/E) organ yield ratios for 51 VCA donors recovered in the US between July 4, 2014 and March 31, 2024, compared with a contemporary cohort of non-VCA donors recovered in 2023.

Purpose: Traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury impact all areas of individuals' quality of life. A synthesis of available evidence for the Traumatic Brain Injury Quality of Life (TBI-QoL) and Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life (SCI-QoL) measurement systems could inform evidence-based clinical practice and research. Thus, we aimed to systematically review the literature of existing evidence on the measurement properties of SCI-QoL and TBI-QoL among rehabilitation populations.

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, such as ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), are a significant global burden. The complex pathophysiology of CNS injury is comprised of primary and secondary injury. Inflammatory secondary injury is incited by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which signal a variety of resident CNS cells and infiltrating immune cells.

Introducción y objetivo: La Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe) es una escala autoadministrable que evalúa cambios comportamentales (apatía, desinhibición y disfunción ejecutiva) luego de una lesión cerebral. El objetivo del trabajo fue obtener indicadores de rendimiento del puntaje total y las sub-escalas de la FrSBe para adultos de habla hispana de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, analizar el efecto de variables demográficas y obtener datos normativos del instrumento. Materiales y métodos: se incluyeron 169 participantes y 83 familiares de esos participantes de Buenos Aires que completaron una encuesta para datos demográficos y la versión en español de la FrSBe.
