Primary blast exposure is a predominant cause of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) among veterans and active-duty military personnel, and affected individuals may develop long-lasting behavioral disturbances that interfere with quality of life. Our prior research with the "Missouri Blast" model demonstrated behavioral changes relevant to deficits in cognitive and affective domains after exposure to low-intensity blast (LIB). In this study, behavioral evaluations were extended to 3 months post-LIB injury using multifaceted conventional and advanced behavioral paradigms.

Background: The safe timing window for surgery during the acute phase of inflammation due to traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been studied extensively. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between the timing of surgery and changes in perioperative serum levels of inflammatory cytokines and factors associated to optimize TBI management in low-middle-income countries.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted among TBI Patients with depressed skull fractures with a GCS > 8 operated at different timing from injury and followed up peri-operatively.

Effects of anatomy and head motion on spatial patterns of deformation in the human brain.

Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Washington University in St. Louis, 1 Brookings Drive, MSC 1185-208-125, St. Louis, MO, 63130, USA.

Purpose: To determine how the biomechanical vulnerability of the human brain is affected by features of individual anatomy and loading.

Methods: To identify the features that contribute most to brain vulnerability, we imparted mild harmonic acceleration to the head and measured the resulting brain motion and deformation using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). Oscillatory motion was imparted to the heads of adult participants using a lateral actuator (n = 24) or occipital actuator (n = 24) at 20 Hz, 30 Hz, and 50 Hz.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the common causes of long-term disabilities, with about 10 million deaths annually.

Objectives: Our aim is to compare the severity and outcomes of TBI between motorcycle and car accident victims.

Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort study focusing on TBI patients.
