Focus groups on clinical decision-making in severe traumatic brain injury

Longitudinal effects of medical comorbidities on functional outcome and life satisfaction after traumatic brain injury: An individual growth curve analysis of NIDILRR traumatic brain injury model system data. J Head Trauma Rehabil 2019; 34: E24-35. doi: 10.1097/ HTR.000000000000459.

This study assessed the association between the presence of diffuse axonal injury and long- term outcomes but found no reasons to attribute the presence of this injury to future neurologic function or quality of life.

60. ** Vrselja Z, Daniele SG, Silbereis J, et al. Restoration of brain circulation and cellular functions hours post- mortem. Nature 2019; 568:336-343. This revolutionary study demonstrates that an intact large mammalian brain possesses an underappreciated capacity for restoration of microcirculation and molecular and cellular activity after a prolonged post-mortem interval. This could influence thoughts on treatment limiting- decisions, research initiatives in humans and future treatment strategies.

This review provides an overview of new approaches in neuroplasticity in aphasia treatment, which is gaining attention in traumatic brain injury literature.
