Background: Cognitive dysfunction after traumatic brain injury (TBI) significantly reduces quality of life and imposes a heavy burden on society. A detailed examination of research trends of cognitive dysfunction following TBI has not yet been conducted. This study aimed to examine the bibliometric analysis of cognitive dysfunction after traumatic brain injury over the past 20 years.

Methods: Literature on bibliometric analysis was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) from 2004 to 2023. The type of literature and the language were refined. A total of 1,902 articles were used for bibliometric analysis, including 1,543 (81.1%) original articles and 359 (18.9%) review articles. Data were retrieved on June 5, 2024.

Results: The publication volume of articles was increasing year by year, with articles published in 537 journals. The , with 130 articles, was the most productive and influential journal. The University of California System led in the number of articles published. There were 9,002 authors from 62 countries/regions. The USA and China were the top-ranked countries by article count. Pandharipande PP authored the highly cited article. Pick CG, as the author with the highest h-index. The top three of author keywords were traumatic brain injury, cognitive impairment, and mild traumatic brain injury. The topics of cognitive dysfunction after TBI were ferroptosis, cognitive decline, spinal cord injury, and prognosis.

Conclusion: Our findings provide valuable insights into cognitive dysfunction following TBI and highlight emerging trends for future research.

Background: Screening for cognitive impairment in primary care is important, yet primary care physicians (PCPs) report conducting routine cognitive assessments for less than half of patients older than 60 years of age. Linus Health's Core Cognitive Evaluation (CCE), a tablet-based digital cognitive assessment, has been used for the detection of cognitive impairment, but its application in primary care is not yet studied.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the integration of CCE implementation in a primary care setting.

Kindling is an experimental-induced seizure consistent with epilepsy disease, a chronic neurological disorder characterised by spontaneous and repeated seizures. This disease is associated with oxidative stress, and most therapeutic strategies against epilepsy aim at improving the antioxidant defence mechanism in the brain. However, prolonged usage and associated adverse side effects limit antiepileptics, warranting natural antioxidant patronage.

Neuropsychological tests and machine learning: identifying predictors of MCI and dementia progression.

Aging Clin Exp Res

March 2025

Data Science for Health, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Via Sommarive 18, Trento, 38123, Italy.

Background: Early prediction of progression in dementia is of major importance for providing patients with adequate clinical care, with considerable impact on the organization of the whole healthcare system.

Aims: The main task is tailoring robust and consolidated machine learning models to detect which neuropsychological tests are more effective in predicting a patient's mental status. In a translational medicine perspective, such identification tool should find its place in the clinician's toolbox as a support throughout his daily diagnostic routine.

Background: Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a well-recognised and troublesome clinical phenomenon in a range of neuroinflammatory, neoplastic, neurovascular and neurodegenerative conditions. It is often under-recognised in the community, frequently mistaken for psychiatric manifestations, appropriate pharmacological treatment is often delayed, and may result in a sense of embarrassment or lead to social isolation. Despite its considerable quality of life (QoL) implications and the challenges associated with its effective management, it is notoriously understudied.

Trifluoroacetic Acid Induced a Cyclophilin D-Dependent Cognitive Impairment in Mice.

Aging Dis

February 2025

Geriatric Anesthesia Research Unit, Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA.

Studies have linked inhalation anesthesia and surgery to increased cognitive impairment, particularly in the elderly. Our previous research showed that isoflurane, but not desflurane, affected cognitive function in mice by modulating cyclophilin D (CypD), a key regulator of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and mitochondrial function. Both anesthetics metabolize into trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which is associated with cognitive deficits.
