The investigators did not find psychiatric comorbidities that moderate the association between dementia and suicide attempts. 

Cognitive Impairment Increases Risk of Attempting Suicide

Widespread increases in resting-state functional connectivity from the anterior medical prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex and frontal regions were found more in younger patients. 

Age Impacts Long-Term Connectivity Changes Caused by a Traumatic Brain Injury

Favorable neurologic function was slightly higher in a tranexamic acid group than patients taking a placebo.

Tranexamic Acid Shows No Symptom Benefit for Traumatic Brain Injuries

Youth with repeat concussion have worse outcomes and more delays returning to normal life.

Majority of Youth Fully Recover 1 Year Post-Concussion

Approximately 50% of patients with a mTBI who experience fatigue or sleep-wake disturbances 2 weeks following the injury continue to have problems at the 3 month mark.

Traumatic Brain Injuries Linked to Sleep, Fatigue Problems

Approximately 5% of the 13,000 TBI patients examined died during the course of the study.

High Variability Found in Mortality from Traumatic Brain Injuries

A telehealth group showed better outcomes than an in-person training group for some variables of communication skills for individuals who suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Telehealth Helps Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Recover Communication Skills

Symptom provocation did not meaningfully alter the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity that is relative to more easily obtained pretests symptom ratings.

Better Screening Needed for Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries

Currently, there is not an approved test for CTE in living patients.

MRI Technique Could Help Diagnose CTE

Healthcare experts can intervene earlier to help lessen the overall effects of concussion over time.
