🔹A recent international study led by Mass General Brigham reveals that a quarter of patients with severe brain injuries, although apparently unresponsive, show signs of consciousness when assessed with advanced techniques such as fMRI and EEG. This finding, which highlights cognitive-motor dissociation, highlights the importance of detecting consciousness in these patients to improve their clinical care and avoid premature decisions, underlining the need to standardize and make these tests more accessible in medical practice.

Dear colleagues, please find out our recent article, published in Neurological Sciences (IF = 2.7, Springer Nature) titled “Prognostic role of quantitative pupillometry in traumatic brain injury: a scoping review”. 🔬 Highlights: 📗 We explored the use of the Neurological Pupil Index (NPi) as a prognostic tool in TBI patients. 📘 Strong evidence supports NPi as a reliable predictor of mortality, functional outcomes, and intracranial pressure changes. 📙 Our findings advocate for integrating automated pupillometry into routine TBI management to enhance patient care. 🌟 I am truely honored to have supervised this project as part of the esteemed Dr. Hossein Sanjari Moghaddam’s ResearchPlus Academy. 🙏🏻 Huge thanks to the incredibly talented Iman Kiani for his dedication and hard work in making this research possible! 📖 Read the full text here: [https://lnkd.in/dmJRg3MY] #TraumaticBrainInjury #NeurologicalSciences #ResearchPlus #QuantitativePupillometry #TBIManagement

World Brain Day 2024 - Brain Health and Prevention: Protecting our future    It's World Brain Day, and this year’s focus is brain health and prevention.     Neurological disorders are one of the leading causes of shortened life expectancy worldwide and have a major impact on global health. Investing in early diagnosis and effective management are very important to significantly reduce the burden of these disorders     Neuro-ophthalmic examinations can contribute greatly to the early detection of brain disorders. Today, these examinations are mostly performed manually and time-intensively by highly trained specialists who are in short supply. Accessible, objective, quantitative examinations are needed.     This is the mission of machineMD: Together with our global network of partners and medical experts, we strive to radically improve the measurement of brain function. We believe that automated neuro-ophthalmic examinations will increase the efficiency of healthcare providers, reduce clinical errors, and aid in the early diagnosis and management of neurological and ophthalmic diseases. #NeuroOphthalmology #BrainHealth #WorldBrainDay #EarlyDiagnosis #MedTech #Innovation #StartupSwitzerland   

NEUROLITH Transcranial Pulse Stimulation Stimulate deep cerebral regions, reaching as much as 8 cm into the brain. Owing to the short duration of the TPS®️ stimulation, tissue heating is avoided. 📧 for more information: info@beamedtrading.com #neurolith #tps #trancranialpulsestimulation #storzmedical #alzheimers #beamedtrading #TPSqatar2023 #Alzheimer #medical #medicaldevice #medicaldevices #medicaldevicesales #medicaldevicesafety #medicaldevicecompany #medicaldevicereprocessing #medicaldeviceregulation #medicaldevicedistributor #medicaldevicecase #medicaldevicebusiness #medicaldevicestore

A 2024 study by Kacprzak and Stańczak (cited below) set out to discover how large of a neurological interruption ACL injuries had on patients. Therapeutic research over the last five years has generally found that patients who appear to have recovered from an ACL tear or sprain physically still suffer from neurocognitive deficits that make reinjury risk likely. This study found that the cause of impairment like this was not a simple miscommunication between the brain and the lower extremity, but that ACL injuries disrupt sensorimotor processes at the base level. "Disruptions in the sensorimotor feedback loop" create: 🎮 Motor control problems, 🤔Decision-making delays, 👁️ Inhibited proprioception, 💪 Muscle control issues and more. It is for these reasons that the researchers strongly advocated for the integration of neurocognitive training and other similar motor skill-oriented approaches into ACL rehab! Have you seen the incorporation of neurocentric techniques into your regimens create better outcomes for your patients? #aclrehab #aclreconstruction #neurocognitive #neuroplasticity #braintraining #physicaltherapy

Low-level light therapy aids brain healing in patients with moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Using a helmet that emits near-infrared light, researchers observed increased brain connectivity within two weeks of treatment. While the long-term effects are still unknown, the therapy shows promise for treating various neurological conditions. The study highlights the potential of light therapy as a non-invasive treatment. #braininjury #redlighttherapy #awareness #invisibledisability

In a recent study published in BMJ Open, Dr. Nekane Romero-Garcia and colleagues explore the effects of hyperoxaemia on patients with acute brain injury (ABI). This systematic review and meta-analysis protocol aims to analyze whether high oxygen levels (hyperoxaemia) are linked to increased mortality and poor neurological outcomes in hospitalized adults with ABI. Hyperoxaemia is a subject particularly close to my heart due to its crucial implications in neurocritical care, and it was also the focus of my doctoral thesis. The significance of this research lies in the fact that previous studies have been inconclusive, often due to varying definitions of hyperoxaemia and differing study designs. This protocol could serve as a foundation for exciting future research in the field. #NeurocriticalCare #AcuteBrainInjury #Hyperoxaemia #SystematicReview #HealthcareResearch #PatientOutcomes #CriticalCareResearch #Hyperoxia

A multimodal approach to better predict recovery in patients with disorders of consciousness

Stimulating and Modulating the brain continues to be a fascinating and powerful, non-invasive tool to treat people with neurodegenerative disorders! I have read recent works in Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and Parkinson's disease using electrical neuromodulation and magnetic neurostimulation! I love that this field continues to progress! #neuromodulation #neurostimulation #TES #TMS
