A previously healthy 1-year-old child with a traumatic acute subdural hemorrhage received 10 times higher dose of hypertonic saline inadvertently immediately before surgery. This case report describes deviations in fluid management needed to alleviate salt toxicity and its adverse effects during surgery under anesthesia perioperatively. The child made an uneventful recovery with no evident residual damage at follow-up.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by high mortality and disability rates. Disease-associated microglia (DAM) are a newly discovered subtype of microglia. However, their presence and function in the acute phase of TBI remain unclear.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to chronic neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration associated with long-term cognitive deficits. Following TBI, the acute neuroinflammatory response involves microglial activation and the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines which induce the recruitment of peripheral immune cells such as monocytes and ultimately T cells. Persistent innate and adaptive immune cells response can lead to chronic neurodegeneration and functional deficits.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among trauma patients. The care of these patients continues to be a complex endeavor with prevention of associated complications, often requiring as much attention as that of the treatment of the primary injury. Paramount among these are venous thromboembolic events (VTE) due to their high incidence, additive effect on the risk of morbidity and mortality, and the careful balance that must be utilized in their diagnosis and treatment to prevent progression of the brain injury itself.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the neurobiological factors that make individuals susceptible to fatigue after a mild COVID-19 infection, aiming to understand the link between brain structure and post-COVID neuropsychiatric symptoms.
- Researchers used neuropsychiatric assessments and MRI scans on individuals who had COVID-19 and a control group to analyze brain regions related to fatigue.
- Results indicate that specific brain areas, particularly the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, are linked to fatigue severity and can predict ongoing fatigue symptoms months after the infection, shedding light on the neural underpinnings of post-COVID conditions.
