Sex Differences in Neurological Outcome at 6 and 12 Months Following Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. An Observational Analysis of the OXY-TC Trial.

J Neurotrauma

January 2025

Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Grenoble, and Inserm, U1216, Grenoble Institut Neurosciences, University Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France.

The effect of sex in outcomes after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains uncertain. We explored whether outcomes differed between women and men after standardized care management during the first 5 days in the intensive care unit (ICU). This study was an observational analysis of the OXY-TC multicenter randomized clinical trial between June 15, 2016 and April 17, 2021.

Therapeutic hypothermia in preterm infants under 36 weeks: Case series on outcomes and brain MRI findings.

Eur J Pediatr

January 2025

Neonatology Department. Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Center for Maternal Fetal and Neonatal Medicine. Neonatal Brain Group, Universitat de Barcelona. Hospital Clínic, Universitat de Barcelona. BCNatal - Barcelona, Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu, Barcelona, Spain.

Purpose: Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a significant cause of neonatal brain injury. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the standard treatment for term neonates, but its safety and efficacy in neonates < 36 weeks gestational age (GA) remains unclear. This case series aimed to evaluate the outcomes of preterm infants with HIE treated with TH.

Rationale: Cardiac arrest (CA) is an acute emergency with high mortality and is closely associated with the risk of brain damage or systemic ischemia-reperfusion injury, post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Patient Concerns: Targeted temperature management in the intensive care unit can improve the neurological outcomes of patients who are comatose after resuscitation from CA. However, there is often a lack of specific evaluation methods for optimal target temperature settings.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
  • - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
  • - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Article Synopsis
  • Long-term hypothermia (33 °C) was studied in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI) to determine its optimal duration and effects on intracranial pressure (ICP) and neurological recovery.
  • The research found that while 4 and 24 hours of hypothermia led to ICP rebound, 48 hours of hypothermia significantly reduced ICP rebound and enhanced neuroprotection.
  • Key improvements from 48 hours of hypothermia included better neurological function, decreased brain edema, reduced blood-brain barrier permeability, and regulation of inflammation and neurogenesis.
