Summary: The DEXCON TBI trial aims to quantify the effects of dexamethasone on TBI patients with brain contusions and pericontusional edema, hoping to find an effective treatment for this specific group of patients. The primary outcome is the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE), with secondary outcomes including number of episodes of neurological deterioration.

Summary: A radiomics method was used to predict the prognosis of progression and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) for patients with cerebral lobe contusion. Nomograms were established based on statistical analysis and radiomics features. After fusion radiomics features, the area under the curve for hematoma progression prediction increased from 0.832 to 0.899, while GOS prediction improved from 0.794 to 0.844.

Summary: In older males, traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness (LOC) and past military employment are associated with late-life trajectories of depressive symptom severity. There is no such association in females. Recall bias may affect the retrospective assessment of lifetime history of TBI.

Summary: The study found that the continuous activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and release of HMGB1 are closely related to cognitive impairment in the late stage of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Inhibition of HMGB1 improved long-term potentiation reduction and cognitive function by reducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. This provides insights into the mechanism of cognitive dysfunction progression in TBI.

Summary: This article investigates blood biomarkers for evaluating the deterioration risk of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) at the early stage. The study finds that the combinatorial indices NLR, RPR, and NLTRP may be potential risk predictors, with NLTRP having a higher prediction value and clinical benefit in medical decision-making.

Summary: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause chronic white matter pathology and neurodegeneration. The effects of tau pathology on neurodegeneration after TBI are not clear. This study used mice with neuronal expression of human mutant tau to investigate the effects of tau pathology on white matter pathology after TBI. The results showed that tau pathology worsened white matter pathology in TBI.

Summary: PET has been widely used in the study of traumatic brain injury (TBI) for decades, with recent focus on imaging biomarkers related to TBI and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). This review critically assesses the use of glycolysis, beta-amyloid, and tau protein radiotracers in the context of TBI, weighing their strengths and weaknesses. Despite the ongoing debate, PET remains a powerful modality in diagnosing TBI-related conditions.

Summary: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disease with high mortality and morbidity. Neurogenesis and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) play important roles in the migration of neuroblasts in TBI. This study investigated the regulatory principle of BDNF in endogenous neuroblasts migration in a mouse TBI model.

Summary: This review summarizes the structure and functions of Tau protein, highlighting its associations with various diseases and conditions including diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, brain injury, aging, and drug use. It explores the role of Tau phosphorylation in disease progression and discusses the potential for therapeutic interventions to prevent or reverse tau-mediated neurodegeneration.

Summary: This study presents a unique case of a patient with bifrontal contusions who developed fixed and dilated pupils (FDPs) without deterioration of consciousness. Despite the presence of FDPs, the patient was awake and responsive after surgery. The unusual constellation of symptoms highlighted the importance of promptly addressing any changes in pupillary examination.

Summary: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a fatal and debilitating condition, and the current clinical management focuses on reducing secondary insults and optimizing substrate delivery and consumption. Holistic management and individualized treatment for hemodynamic, respiratory, inflammatory or coagulation disturbances are gaining more attention. The trajectories of recovery in TBI patients vary greatly, posing challenges in neuroprognostication.
