Background: Amputation confers disabilities upon patients and is associated with substantial cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity and mortality. We aimed to compare the incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) between individuals with amputation and the general population.
Methods: A population-based retrospective cohort study was performed using the Nationwide Health Insurance Service database for the period between 2010 and 2018.

A patient with a history of Asian flu, mumps meningo-encephalitis, and skull-base fracture and severe porencephaly who was able to walk without assistance, has not been reported. The patient is a 65 year-old male with a history of Asian flu at 6 months of age, Mumps meningoencephalitis at 6 years of age, structural epilepsy since 15 years of age, traumatic brain injury with skull-base fracture at 51 years of age, arterial hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, previous alcoholism, and polyneuropathy. He presented with only mild right-sided spastic hemiparesis, dysarthria, decreased tendon reflexes in the lower limbs, spastic-ataxic gait, but he was able to walk unassisted.

Head trauma from blast exposure is a growing health concern, particularly among active military personnel, and is considered the signature injury of the Gulf War. However, it remains elusive whether fundamental differences exist between blast-related traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and TBI due to other mechanisms. Considering the importance of lipid metabolism associated with neuronal membrane integrity and its compromise during TBI, we sought to find changes in lipidomic profiling during blast or blunt (Stereotaxically Controlled Contusison-SCC)-mediated TBI.

Objective: Fatigue and subjective sleep disturbance are elevated after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), raising the question of whether mTBI-specific factors contribute to the experience of fatigue and subjective sleep disturbance after mTBI.
Design: 110 premorbidly healthy individuals who had suffered a traumatic injury during an accident approximately 8 weeks prior were examined and assessed with subjective measures of fatigue and sleep disturbance, psychological distress and pain.
Results: Individuals with a traumatic injury reported significant elevations in most fatigue and all subjective sleep disruption components compared to community-based control participants (n = 45).
Background: Loss of recognition memory has been hypothesized to be a potential behavioral marker of neurodegenerative disease given decreases in both recollection and familiarity reported in both MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) and AD (Alzheimer's Disease). Stage III CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) involves p-tau deposition in the medial temporal lobe, impacting memory. Decreases of both familiarity and recollection are promising potential markers of CTE related neurodegeneration following TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).
