Summary: Cognitive deficits are a significant clinical feature of brain tumour patients, affecting a large percentage of patients before treatment. This paper provides a narrative review of the neuropsychological procedure for monitoring cognitive function in brain tumour patients, aiming to develop appropriate clinical practice and management procedures.

Summary: Rehabilitation intervention after lung lobectomy can partially improve the functional profile of patients and reduce breathlessness, but further research with a larger number of participants and an extended observation period is needed to fully understand its impact.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the construct validity and measurement precision of the Coma Near-Coma scale in measuring neurobehavioral function in patients with disorders of consciousness. Results showed that the items of the CNC reflected good construct validity and acceptable interrater reliability. The CNC achieved good measurement precision in the full sample.

Summary: This study aimed to compare functional outcomes of acquired brain injury patients in an inpatient rehabilitation facility during the COVID-19 pandemic and before, and found that despite the impact of hospital policies, similar functional outcomes were obtained for those with acquired brain injury after inpatient rehabilitation.

Summary: This study analyzed a longitudinal database of traumatic brain injury patients to identify key factors associated with loss to follow-up. Missed earlier follow-ups and demographic factors, including ethnicity, education, and health insurance, were found to be strong predictors of loss to follow-up. Efforts should be made to retain participants from socially disadvantaged or minority groups.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI), finding that individuals with TBI have more difficulties coping with the pandemic, with social isolation and mental health challenges identified as key barriers.

Summary: This study designed a new clinical diagnostic protocol to improve the accuracy of secondary hydrocephalus diagnosis in patients with severe acquired brain injuries. The protocol integrates clinical, functional, biochemical, and neuroradiological assessments. Expected results include increased diagnosed cases, reduced clinical complications, improved rehabilitative outcomes, shortened hospital stay, and valuable information about neuroradiological characteristics. The protocol has the potential to improve prognosis and can be adopted by other rehabilitation centers.

Summary: This study aimed to establish the responsiveness indices for the CNC scale with and without pain stimuli. The study found that the CNC 8-item and 10-item scales show comparable responsiveness in measuring neurobehavioral function recovery.

Summary: This study aimed to determine anxiety trajectories and predictors up to 10 years after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The results showed that factors such as race, insurance, pre-injury mental health treatment, multiple TBIs with loss of consciousness, violent injury, and years post-TBI were associated with higher levels of anxiety. Three different anxiety trajectories were identified, with the high-increasing and high-decreasing groups having consistently mild or higher anxiety scores throughout the 10-year period.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between payer source, residential median household income (MHI), and outcomes at rehabilitation discharge after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The results showed that payer source was associated with rehabilitation length of stay (RLOS) and functional status at discharge. Individuals with TBI who were uninsured or had public insurance may have poorer functional status at rehabilitation discharge compared to those with private insurance or workers' compensation/auto insurance, which may be due to shorter length of stay in acute rehabilitation.

Summary: This study found differences in characteristics and outcomes of traumatic brain injury patients between for-profit and not-for-profit inpatient rehabilitation facilities. For-profit facilities admitted older patients with lower functional scores upon admission, but these patients showed better functional outcomes upon discharge and had higher rates of community discharge. However, for-profit facilities also had higher readmission rates.

Summary: In this study, a core ICF set consisting of 68 categories including body functions, body structures, activities and participation, and environmental factors was developed for Taiwanese patients with burns. This core set offers a comprehensive system for disability assessment and sets the stage for effective rehabilitation strategy setting for patients with burns. Further feasibility and validation studies are needed in the future to assess the utility of this core set.

Summary: This article compiles and synthesizes the evidence on the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions for traumatic brain injury from Cochrane systematic reviews. The results indicate a lack of high-quality evidence supporting the effectiveness of most non-pharmacological interventions.

Summary: The study compared disability changes in COPD patients recovering from acute exacerbation, with and without hospitalization, using the Respiratory ICF Maugeri core set. Regardless of hospitalization need, all patients showed a statistically significant decrease in the rate of higher ICF qualifiers after rehabilitation. The results suggest that pulmonary rehabilitation improves disability in COPD patients, and the use of ICF set as an additional outcome requires further exploration.
