This prospective study analysed psychiatric disorders, quality of life, and emotional and behavioral difficulties in adolescents with TBI and orthopedic trauma at a 6-month follow-up.Methods: Adolescents with TBI and a control orthopedic trauma group (without a history of psychiatric disorders) were evaluated using both the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory.Results: Forty-one adolescents with TBI and 45 with orthopedic injuries were assessed. TBI patients had significantly lower quality of life and higher levels of emotional difficulties. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders was higher in the TBI group (41.5% vs 15.6%). TBI group had higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression after 6 months. Hospitalization length and GCS scores were correlated with quality of life outcomes. Regression analysis revealed the presence of psychiatric disorders at 6 months was a significant predictor of reduced quality of life.Conclusion: This study highlights a significant association between TBI and poorer quality of life and mental health outcomes in adolescents.

Two qualitative researchers coded and analyzed data with saturation reached after six interviews.Results: The sample mean age was 51.4 years (SD = 10.8), who were on average 9.4 years post-TBI (SD = 10.1) and 6.8 years (SD = 5.1) post-OSA diagnosis. Patient feedback was organized into four themes that aligned with the Health Belief Model and two themes pertaining to logistics.Conclusions: Participation in this adherence intervention was associated with increased awareness of OSA severity, its impact on them, and treatment benefits.

When combined with therapies such as therapeutic hypothermia, neurotrophic agents, antioxidants, or phenobarbital, HBOT exhibits synergistic effects. Clinical studies have demonstrated superior outcomes with HBOT-hypothermia combinations versus monotherapies. However, current literature lacks stratified analyses based on HIE severity, head-to-head comparisons of combination strategies, and long-term follow-up data. Moreover, most existing reviews focus solely on mechanisms, underrepresenting clinical applications.Conclusions: HBOT holds promise as a non-invasive adjunct therapy for neonatal HIE, especially in combination with established treatments. Its safety has improved with advances in neonatal care, allowing broader clinical use. Nonetheless, standardized protocols, stratified clinical trials, and molecular-level studies are needed to optimize therapeutic strategies and enhance outcomes in affected infants.","PeriodicalId":9082,"journal":{"name":"Brain injury","volume":" ","pages":"984-992"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144233123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generalized linear mixed-effects models were used to examine whether the risks of mTBI and OI differed across individual sports.Results: Compared to children who had not participated in climbing, those who participated had a higher risk of mTBI than OI (ratio of odds ratio = 1.881, p = 0.013). Sports participation was associated with better behavioral/emotional outcomes, with stronger benefits for mTBI children compared to those with no injury (p = 0.043), but no significant difference between mTBI and OI groups.Conclusion: Different sports have distinct risks for mTBI and OI in children. Behavioral benefits of sports were more pronounced for children with mTBI than for uninjured children but similar between mTBI and OI groups.
