Military traumatic brain injury: a challenge straddling neurology and psychiatry

Ling-Zhuo Kong, Rui-Li Zhang, Shao-Hua Hu, Jian-Bo Lai

Summary: Military psychiatry, a new subcategory of psychiatry, is playing an important role in war. This review examines military research, summarizes epidemiological data, neuropathology, and research achievements in diagnosis and treatment technology, and discusses the comorbidity and sequelae of military traumatic brain injury (TBI). Advances in neuroimaging and molecular biology have greatly enhanced the understanding of TBI, revealing abnormal protein accumulation and brain metabolism abnormalities involved in its development. TBI, based on organic injury, is distinct from other mental disorders and presents a new challenge at the intersection of neurology and psychiatry.

A systemic immune challenge to model hospital-acquired infections independently regulates immune responses after pediatric traumatic brain injury

Rishabh Sharma, Akram Zamani, Larissa K. Dill, Mujun Sun, Erskine Chu, Marcus J. Robinson, Terence J. O'Brien, Sandy R. Shultz, Bridgette D. Semple

Summary: The study revealed that TBI patients exhibit widespread physiological symptoms after infection, but these symptoms do not synergize with prior TBI. This finding provides new insights into the potential impact of this "two-hit insult" to the injured pediatric brain.

Assessing the Global Impact on the Mouse Kidney After Traumatic Brain Injury: A Transcriptomic Study

Wei-Hung Chan, Yu-Juei Hsu, Chiao-Pei Cheng, Kuan-Nien Chou, Chin-Li Chen, Shih-Ming Huang, Wei-Chih Kan, Yi-Lin Chiu

Summary: In this study, animal models combined with bioinformatics strategies were used to investigate the potential changes in overall renal transcriptional expression after traumatic brain injury. The results showed that traumatic brain injury may affect the expression of mitochondria function-related genes in renal cells and promote autoinflammation in kidney tissue through mechanisms related to immune cell migration. The findings provide new insights into the effects of brain trauma on the kidney.

Summary: This study evaluated global volumetric and diffusion parameters related to long-term outcome after TBI, and found that global mean diffusivity is a more promising radiomarker for discriminating good outcome long term after TBI. Further research is needed to understand the evolution of these long-term radiological parameters.

A critical review of radiotracers in the positron emission tomography imaging of traumatic brain injury: FDG, tau, and amyloid imaging in mild traumatic brain injury and chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Cyrus Ayubcha, Mona-Elisabeth Revheim, Andrew Newberg, Mateen Moghbel, Chaitanya Rojulpote, Thomas J. Werner, Abass Alavi

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 common in military and civilian populations, leading to a range of clinical, cognitive, behavioral, mood, and neuroimaging changes. The inconsistent presentation of TBI poses challenges in establishing biological and imaging markers, although big data approaches offer opportunities to better understand its impact in military populations.

Experiences that challenge self-identity following traumatic brain injury: a meta-synthesis of qualitative research

Darrelle Villa, Hilary Causer, Gerard A. Riley

Summary: This study systematically reviewed and synthesized qualitative literature on experiences that challenge self-identity following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Six themes were identified, including changes in physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning, autobiographical memory loss, loss of autonomy, comparing old self with the new self, and social rejection and stigma. These findings can inform rehabilitation efforts to support individuals in negotiating these challenges more successfully and with less distress.

Is dementia more likely following traumatic brain injury? A systematic review

John Gerrard Hanrahan, Charlotte Burford, Palani Nagappan, Gideon Adegboyega, Shivani Rajkumar, Angelos Kolias, Adel Helmy, Peter John Hutchinson

Summary: This article systematically reviews the association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and dementia. It finds a relationship between the two, but cannot determine the risk of dementia for an individual following TBI. The article also highlights limitations and issues in current studies and suggests using standardized methods to define TBI, establish criteria for dementia diagnosis, and conduct longer-term follow-up studies.

Machine Learning Approaches to Intracranial Pressure Prediction in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review

George R. E. Bradley, Maria Roldan, Panayiotis A. Kyriacou

Summary: This systematic review aimed to predict intracranial pressure (ICP) crises in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in order to prevent secondary brain injury and improve patient outcomes. The review identified three effective approaches: long short-term memory (LSTM), Gaussian processes (GP), and logistic regression models, with area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC-ROC) ranging from 0.86 to 0.95. The review also highlighted the lack of consensus on the definition of an ICP crisis, the most clinically relevant prediction horizon, and the clinical intelligibility, improvement of patient care, and ethical concerns of algorithms.

Management of severe traumatic brain injury in regions with limited resources

Andres M. Rubiano, Dylan P. Griswold, Manuel Jibaja, Alejandro A. Rabinstein, Daniel Agustin Godoy

Summary: Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is a critical health issue in regions with limited resources, with road traffic injuries (RTIs) and violence being the principal mechanisms. Challenges in care include lack of pre-hospital care, overloaded emergency services, insufficient trained personnel, and deficiencies in surgical and intensive care. Collaborations between high-income countries (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have focused on capacity building for sTBI care to address the high burden of disease in RLRs.

Summary: This study aims to ascertain the interest of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) nations in establishing a shared neurotrauma registry. A descriptive review was conducted on the interests of LAC nations, and it was found that all representatives agreed to adopt the registry for tracking the burden of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and associated pathologies within the region. The study suggests that implementing a neurotrauma registry can benefit the region through a shared database to track disease, improve outcomes, build research, and influence policy.
