Outcome of craniocerebral trauma in infants and children.

Istituto di Pediatria Medica Preventiva e Sociale, Policlinico Universitario, Messina, Italy.

Published: January 1990

The authors examined 927 patients affected by craniocerebral trauma and analyzed the neurological complications that occurred most frequently. The study confirmed that the percentage of craniocerebral trauma, gravity, and complications were different in relation to the sex and age of the patients. Based on this analysis, a correlation was made between the traumatic pathologies and socioeconomic-environmental conditions.

Dear Editor-in-chief: Thank you for focussing on this troubling subject in your issue 1/2024. It confirms that many of the difficulties involved are similar worldwide. Countries that use less-lethal weapons include Switzerland, the only Western European democracy besides France to employ multiple kinetic impact projectiles.

Background: Headache is one of the most common post-concussion symptoms following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). To better understand its impact on young individuals, this study aims to investigate the prevalence of headache in a German-speaking post-acute pediatric TBI sample and compare it with the general population. In addition, factors associated with the development of pediatric post-TBI headache are investigated to improve the understanding of this condition.

The transcriptional response of cortical neurons to concussion reveals divergent fates after injury.

Nat Commun

Unit on the Development of Neurodegeneration, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a risk factor for neurodegeneration, however little is known about how this kind of injury alters neuron subtypes. In this study, we follow neuronal populations over time after a single mild TBI (mTBI) to assess long ranging consequences of injury at the level of single, transcriptionally defined neuronal classes. We find that the stress-responsive Activating Transcription Factor 3 (ATF3) defines a population of cortical neurons after mTBI.
