Background: Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) represents a substantial health challenge, urging a more thorough investigation into its early effects and possible interventions. The collective consequences of rmTBI encompass various neurobiological and neuropsychological impairments, increasing susceptibility to diseases like Alzheimer's and related dementias. Employing the Closed-Head Impact Model of Engineered Rotational Acceleration (CHIMERA) approach for TBI induction, our prior study revealed connectivity alterations within 53% of regions in young and aged wild-type mice five days post-injury.

TES symptoms can mirror Alzheimer's disease (AD) despite absence of hallmark AD pathology. We investigated whether GFAP, NfL, and IL-6 correlated with cognition and brain volume changes within TES relative to AD.

Background: Traumatic physical injuries can lead to psychological distress and increased risk of psychiatric disorders, often reflected in dysregulated autonomic responses measurable through heart rate variability (HRV). Slow-paced breathing has shown potential in enhancing HRV, but its effectiveness in injured survivors remains unexplored. This study investigates the effect of slow-paced breathing on HRV among injured survivors compared to non-injured individuals and explores the influence of psychological distress and spontaneous respiratory rate on this effect.

Evidence on the effectiveness and implementation of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions for men in humanitarian settings is limited. Moreover, engagement and retention of men in such interventions has been challenging. Adaptations may therefore be required to improve the appropriateness and acceptability of these interventions for men.
