81 In the context of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), understanding the occurrence and outlook of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) reveals a complex clinical scenario. Recent studies have shown that although the risk of developing PTE is lower after mTBI than after moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), several key factors can significantly increase this…
116 Introduction: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) encompasses a spectrum of head injuries that affect the brain’s normal function, caused by an external force. The severity and manifestation of TBIs can vary significantly, necessitating a nuanced approach to classification and diagnosis. Various classification systems have been developed to categorize the degrees of severity and guide treatment…

96 Astrocytes’ involvement in the evolution of post-traumatic epileptogenesis (PTE) has undergone a significant shift in perspective, now recognized for their complex roles that surpass their previously believed function as just supportive cells. Current studies highlight their comprehensive contributions, especially in the pathogenic inflammatory responses and their active participation in critical brain functions, including learning,…
74 Introduction Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), annually affecting millions globally, is frequently underestimated in its severity and often perceived as a transient, inconsequential event. However, a burgeoning body of research contradicts this notion, revealing that even a singular incident of mTBI can precipitate profound and enduring health repercussions, notably an augmented risk of cerebrovascular…
56 The intricacies of brain pathology associated with concussion history are becoming increasingly significant in the medical field, particularly as we deepen our understanding of the long-term effects of head injuries. Concussions, especially those incurred through contact sports or repeated trauma, have been linked to a range of disabling symptoms that can severely impact an…
49 Introduction Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), particularly those classified as mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) or concussions, stand at the forefront of public health concerns due to their high incidence and potential to inflict lasting cognitive and functional impairments. As our society becomes increasingly aware of the risks associated with recreational activities, sports, and occupational…
15 Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) presents a complex challenge in modern medicine, encompassing a range of conditions that stem from brain injury and manifest in diverse and often debilitating symptoms. With millions affected annually worldwide, the quest for precise diagnostics and effective treatments has never been more critical. Recent advancements in multiomic research are offering…
23Introduction Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) stands as a widespread and notable health issue stemming from sports-related accidents, explosive incidents, blunt trauma to the head, and violent acts. This type of injury commonly occurs due to a direct hit or a sudden movement of the head, leading to a spectrum of physical, cognitive, and emotional…
In the intricate landscape of personal injury claims, the role of neurological assessments stands as a cornerstone, especially when navigating cases involving brain injuries or other neurological disorders. These assessments not only provide a comprehensive understanding of the claimant’s medical condition but also serve as pivotal evidence in substantiating claims for compensation. This post delves…
