This systematic review analyzed data from studies examining memory and cognitive function in subjects with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), compared with subjects exposed to trauma (but without PTSD). Based on analysis of 21 articles published in English from 1968 to 2009, the conclusion is that individuals with PTSD, particularly veterans, show signs of cognitive impairment when tested with neuropsychological instruments, more so than individuals exposed to trauma who do not have PTSD.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common neurosurgical emergency. As a macrophage in brain, microglia involves in secondary TBI injury. UCF-101, an Omi/HtrA2 inhibitor, protects against neurological disorders.

Purpose: Exposure to traumatic events may lead to the development of Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) within the first month post-trauma in some individuals, while others may not exhibit ASD symptoms. ASD was introduced as a potential early indicator to identify those at higher risk of developing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), however, PTSD can occur in some individuals even without prior ASD. Assessing ASD post-trauma can assist in identifying those who would most benefit from intervention to prevent later PTSD, yet the predictive power of ASD varies across studies, with intensity of ASD symptoms and subthreshold PTSD often less considered.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common condition that poses significant health risks to humans. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (PIF) often manifests in advanced stages of COPD. Fluorofenidone (AKF) has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-fibrotic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Background: Racial discrimination (RD) disrupts regulatory systems in minoritized individuals, particularly those that govern attention, including attention to visceral signals (interoception). RD frequency is linked to physiological "shut down" responses, characterized clinically by dissociation. We examined associations between RD frequency and functional connectivity of attention and interoceptive networks in sample of trauma-exposed Black women, investigating how connectivity alterations associate with dissociation severity.

An animal model of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) was established using female rats given sublethal whole-thorax X-ray irradiation (15 Gy) at a dose rate of 2.7 Gy/min. The rats were studied for up to day 45 and compared with sham-irradiated controls.
