Purpose: Traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury impact all areas of individuals' quality of life. A synthesis of available evidence for the Traumatic Brain Injury Quality of Life (TBI-QoL) and Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life (SCI-QoL) measurement systems could inform evidence-based clinical practice and research. Thus, we aimed to systematically review the literature of existing evidence on the measurement properties of SCI-QoL and TBI-QoL among rehabilitation populations.

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, such as ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), are a significant global burden. The complex pathophysiology of CNS injury is comprised of primary and secondary injury. Inflammatory secondary injury is incited by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which signal a variety of resident CNS cells and infiltrating immune cells.

Introducción y objetivo: La Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe) es una escala autoadministrable que evalúa cambios comportamentales (apatía, desinhibición y disfunción ejecutiva) luego de una lesión cerebral. El objetivo del trabajo fue obtener indicadores de rendimiento del puntaje total y las sub-escalas de la FrSBe para adultos de habla hispana de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, analizar el efecto de variables demográficas y obtener datos normativos del instrumento. Materiales y métodos: se incluyeron 169 participantes y 83 familiares de esos participantes de Buenos Aires que completaron una encuesta para datos demográficos y la versión en español de la FrSBe.

Although there is a large body of existing research on traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, there are few clear and consistent recommendations that have emerged. Appropriate management is guided by an understanding of the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury as well as by clinical observation and radiographic assessment. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the literature and recommendations based on the best available evidence, including expeditious management of critically elevated intracranial pressure and acquisition of follow-up studies.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered a major cause of death globally, resulting from trauma. Decompressive craniectomy (DC) may improve functional outcomes in patients with TBI and its associated complications. This study was designed to determine safety and efficacy of DC in improving clinical outcomes in TBI patients compared to standard therapy.
