AI Article Synopsis
- The review explores recent studies that use advanced brain imaging to investigate the effects of military-related brain injuries, specifically focusing on mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in Veterans.
- It provides an introduction to mTBI and outlines key neuroimaging techniques used to study its impacts.
- The findings highlight neuroimaging's critical role in understanding mTBI's neural effects and the resulting clinical issues, emphasizing the need to consider the unique aspects of blast-related injuries and their long-term consequences.
Article Abstract
Objectives: A substantial body of recent research has aimed to better understand the clinical sequelae of military trauma through the application of advanced brain imaging procedures in Veteran populations. The primary objective of this review was to highlight a portion of these recent studies to demonstrate how imaging tools can be used to understand military-associated brain injury.
Methods: We focus here on the phenomenon of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) given its high prevalence in the Veteran population and current recognition of the need to better understand the clinical implications of this trauma. This is intended to provide readers with an initial exposure to the field of neuroimaging of mTBI with a brief introduction to the concept of traumatic brain injury, followed by a summary of the major imaging techniques that have been applied to the study of mTBI.
Results: Taken together, the collection of studies reviewed demonstrates a clear role for neuroimaging towards understanding the various neural consequences of mTBI as well as the clinical complications of such brain changes.
Conclusions: This information must be considered in the larger context of research into mTBI, including the potentially unique nature of blast exposure and the long-term consequences of mTBI.

The present study aims at providing reference values from the general pediatric population for the German version of the 21-item self-report post version of the Postconcussion Symptom Inventory for adolescents aged 13-17 years (PCSI-SR13) following pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI). A total of N = 950 adolescents completed an adapted version of the PCSI-SR13. Prior to establishing reference values using percentiles, psychometric properties (i.

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are typically activated by acidic environments and contribute to nociception and synaptic plasticity. ASIC1a is the most abundant subunit in the central nervous system and forms homomeric channels permeable to Na and Ca , making it a compelling therapeutic target for acidotic pathologies including stroke and traumatic brain injury. However, a complete conformational library of human ASIC1a in its various functional states has yet to be described.

Magnetic resonance elastography has emerged over the last two decades as a non-invasive method for quantitatively measuring the mechanical properties of the brain. Since the inception of the technology, brain stiffness has been the primary metric used to describe brain microstructural mechanics. However, more recently, a secondary measure has emerged as both theoretical and experimental significance, which is the ratio of tissue viscosity relative to tissue elasticity.

Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), known to be a major factor in poor outcomes and death rates, is common after polytrauma with traumatic brain injury (TBI). In this study, a nomogram will be developed to predict the risk of DVT in polytrauma patients with TBI, since there is currently no specific and convenient diagnostic method.
Methods: A retrospective and observational trial was conducted between November 2021 and May 2023.
