Introduction: Duration of Post-Traumatic Amnesia (PTA) following head injury (HI) can be assessed prospectively, during the amnesic period, or retrospectively, after the amnesic period has resolved. Prospective assessment of PTA can be difficult after less severe injuries because PTA duration is short. Retrospective assessment could be more practical but may be less valid and reliable.

Opioid analgesics should be used with extreme cautions in the self-ventilating head injured patient. Gastric emptying ceases after trauma. This will limit the efficacy of oral analgesics. Epidural analgesia has been shown to be an independent predictor of decreased morbidity and mortality in thoracic trauma. Femoral nerve block is as effective as intravenous morphine in femoral shaft fractures. Short-term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use has no proven deleterious effects in humans, and should be part of multimodal management.

Abstract:
Penetrating head trauma is rare in the pediatric population, and rarer still in the civilian pediatric population. The high rehabilitation potential of children and the higher likelihood of a low-velocity, survivable injury necessitates careful management to minimize morbidity due to secondary injury from ischemia or infection. Management of penetrating injuries includes patient stabilization, appropriate imaging, and if surgery is needed, entry/exit site debridement with dural closure to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leak. Post-operative care includes infection prevention, intracerebral pressure management, and early identification of vasospasm and pseudoaneurysm formation.

Abstract:
Most patients with mild TBI (mTBI) are discharged from the emergency department (ED) after a normal clinical examination and a reasonable period of observation and/or following a negative head computed tomography (CT) scan. Studies indicate that about 30% of mTBI patients discharged from the ED will have symptoms at 3 months and up to 15% will be symptomatic at 1 year post-injury. Serum markers have the potential to better manage patients with mTBI. Unlike clinical variables, serum biomarkers offer a more objective measure of injury and could complement clinical decision-making. In 2018, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of a blood test combining UCH-L1 and GFAP for detecting lesions on CT scan in adults with mTBI within 12 hours of injury. Introducing biomarkers into clinical practice requires well-designed studies with adequate sample sizes, proper sample timing, stringent reporting of outcome measures, and well-described assay performance characteristics.

Abstract:
Although a correlation has been noted between brain injury and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a causal connection between the two has never been demonstrated. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a neurodegenerative condition similar to conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal degeneration. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy can only be diagnosed post mortem, but attempts are underway to develop objective diagnostic tests in living individuals. When individuals who have a history of presumed head injury present with neuropsychiatric symptoms such as behavioral changes or cognitive decline, they should undergo a full neuropsychiatric workup and be managed appropriately for their symptoms.

Abstract:
Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major health concern, with an annual incidence of 400 in 100,000 and it is the major cause of disability and death in children in the United States (Langlois, Rutland-Brown, and Thomas 2005). The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) (Teasdale and Jennett 1974) is a standard measure of severity of impaired consciousness, and it is used as a measure of TBI severity. Mild TBI is generally defined by the lowest post-resuscitation GCS score of 13–15, but many investigators have also stipulated that a mild TBI is defined by a normal computed tomographic (CT) scan within 24 hours after injury or at least no CT evidence of a brain lesion. Moderate injury has a GCS score of 9–12 or a score of 13–15 with an intracranial lesion. Severe injury has a GCS score of 8 or lower, consistent with coma. The pathology of TBI can be classified into diffuse and focal brain injury, although both types of injury can coexist in the same patient. Focal brain injury is characterized by mechanical forces that produce localized primary lesions that occur at the moment of trauma, such as cortical contusions. In closed head injuries, these forces can also produce hemorrhage in the epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, or intracerebral compartments of the cranium. Diffuse brain injury, more common in children than in adults with severe TBI, is caused by rapid movement of the head due to acceleration, deceleration, and rotational forces, which causes primary axonal injury, such as axonal stretch and shearing. Occurring immediately after trauma and producing effects that may progress over time, secondary injuries include ischemia, brain swelling, breakdown of the blood- brain barrier, release of excitatory neurotransmitters, generation of free radicals, cellular death and dysfunction, hypoxemia, and seizures. Hypotension is a serious complication of TBI and a challenge for acute neurocritical care (Kochanek 2006).

Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with varied neuropsychiatric sequelae, including elevated risk for later suicidal behaviors (SBs). This chapter provides a qualitative narrative review of hypothesized biological and neurocognitive mechanisms linking TBI to subsequent SBs. The following selective review specifically highlights: (1) Structural and functional alterations to neural circuitry secondary to common head injuries (e.g., concussions or mild TBI) as well as severe or repetitive TBI (e.g., chronic traumatic encephalopathy); (2) Overlap between post-TBI neuropsychological deficits and proposed bio-behavioral indicators of suicide risk; and (3) Potential neurocognitive mediators of the relationship between TBI and SBs, with a particular focus on executive functions involved in self-regulation (i.e., cognitive and affective inhibitory control) and their neural substrates, e.g., corticolimbic, frontostriatal, and frontoparietal circuitry. The chapter concludes with theoretical and practical implications of this shared pathophysiology, based on the reviewed empirical literature.

Abstract:
Cognitive decline has been associated with a history of multiple concussions and repetitive head impact exposure. Cognitive decline may also result from hypopituitary dysfunction, undermanaged post-concussive symptoms, other mental health symptoms and disorders, medical conditions, and a genetic predisposition to neurodegeneration. Cognitive decline may be static or progressive. Any individual who presents with cognitive decline following a history of concussion should undergo a complete neuropsychiatric evaluation, and this should be coupled with a detailed medical and neurological exam to assess for all possible causes of impaired cognition. Neurodegeneration should not be assumed as a result of prior brain injury.

Abstract:
Acute muscle strain injuries typically occur during active lengthening contractions, and tend to present along or near a musculotendon junction (MTJ) [1]. For example, among sprinters, the majority of hamstring strain injuries involve the proximal MTJ of the biceps femoris long head [1,2]. We have previously shown that post-injury scarring at the MTJ can persist for many months after return to sport [2], which may contribute to the high risk for re-injury associated with these injuries. Thus, it is pertinent to understand why the MTJ is susceptible to injury, and ultimately how post-injury rem

Abstract:
Studies have hypothesized mechanisms for brain injury resulting from exposure to blast waves. Theories include shockwaves increasing fluid pressure within brain tissue by transmitting through bones and blood vessels 1, indirect brain tissue damage due to ischemia from pulmonary blast injury 2, and formation of mechanical stresses that can result in tissue distortion 3. Mechanical damage to brain tissue can occur due to skull flexure resulting in loads typically seen in impact-induced injury 4 or axonal shearing/stretching, due to linear or rotational accelerations resulting in Diffuse Axonal I

Abstract:
The goal of this research is to evaluate the extent of damage to the brain in regard to concussions when female soccer players head the ball to pass, defend, and score goals. It is reported that female soccer players have higher concussion rates than male players, which is why they will be the focus of this study. The anatomy of the female body seems to be structured in a way that increases the risk of concussions, but that has not been verified yet. While many clinical studies document post-concussion results, our research evaluates the impact of the soccer ball during active play both comput

Abstract:
The head in the Ford human body model (FHBM) was previously validated against impact test data involving post mortem human subjects (PMHS). The objective of the current study was to further validate the head model against more PMHS tests. The data included the following published tests: rigid bar impact to the forehead, zygoma, and maxilla (2.5–4.2 m/s), lateral pendulum impact (5.7 m/s), and front pendulum impact to the frontal bone, nasal bone, and maxilla (2.2 m/s). The responses from the model were compared to available published cadaveric response corridors and to various cadaveric respon

Abstract:
A better understanding of the axonal injury would help us develop improved diagnostic tools, protective measures, and rehabilitation treatments. Computational modeling coupled with advanced neuroimaging techniques might be a promising tool for this purpose. However, before the models can be used for real life applications, they need to be validated and cross-verified with real life scenarios to establish the credibility of the model. In this work, progress has been made in validating a human head finite element model with embedded axonal fiber tractography (using embedded element method) using

Abstract:
A frontal impact scenario was simulated using a Finite Element Model of a Hybrid III 50th percentile male (LSTC, Livermore CA) along with seatbelt, steering system and driver airbags. The boundary conditions included acceleration pulse to the seat and the outputs including injury measures in terms of Head Injury Criterion (HIC), Normalized Neck Injury Criterion (NIJ) and Chest Severity Index (CSI) were extracted from the simulations. The kinematics of the Hybrid III were validated against the kinematics of post mortem human surrogates (PMHS) available in the literature. Using the validated set
