The number of microglia cells and astrocytes in layer V of the cerebral cortex was estimated on day 7 after damage caused by a unilateral focal traumatic brain injury of the left hemisphere sensorimotor cortex. Quantitative assessment was performed by counting immunocytochemically stained microglia cells (Iba1 marker) and activated astrocytes (GFAP) at different distances from the lesion site. Activation of microglial and astroglial cells was observed not only in the marginal zone of the lesion of the left hemisphere, but also in the intact hemisphere. The data obtained indicate the dissemination of inflammation in focal traumatic brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide and can lead to secondary sequelae such as increased seizure susceptibility. Emerging work suggests that the thalamus, the relay center of the brain that undergoes secondary damage after cortical TBI, is involved with heightened seizure risks after TBI. TBI also induces the recruitment of peripheral immune cells, including T cells, to the site(s) of injury, but it is unclear how these cells impact neurological sequelae post-TBI.

Young adult (YA) LGBTQ+ cancer survivors face inequities and unmet needs that impact their well-being. However, the impact of age and cancer among LGBTQ+ individuals have not been adequately assessed. The North Carolina LGBTQ+ Health Needs Assessment survey, conducted at local Pride events, aimed to collect data to describe the well-being of LGBTQ+ people in NC.

Article Synopsis
  • Desmoid tumours are rare benign growths that can aggressively invade surrounding tissues, especially near nerves and blood vessels, making them difficult to treat.
  • Their exact cause is unknown, but they are more common in females and may be linked to factors like trauma, surgery, or inflammation, suggesting possible genetic or hormonal influences.
  • A case study highlights a 34-year-old woman who developed a desmoid tumour in her neck after neck surgery; despite surgical removal, the tumour recurred, necessitating a second operation for complete treatment.

Introduction: Virtual reality-based simulation is an educational tool that has been proven to increase participants' self-perceived, confidence, and skill. However, the use of VR is associated with virtual reality sickness (VRS). The purpose of this study is to determine related factors of VRS in an emergency setting simulation-based training, hence providing information and mitigation plan to enhance and optimize learning outcomes.
