It's kinda hilarious (if you imagine a mind is responsible for evolution) how much of human disease etiology looks like someone said, "Eh, it's good enough. Not like they'll live long enough for it to matter when it stops working" (context: reading about post-TBI neurogenesis and epilepsy)

A study of about 8,500 persons who were hospitalized for concussion before age 17, compared to a reference group that were hospitalized for other injuries, found that the group with concussions collectively had lower educational attainment and were 15% less likely to attend college.

My lifelong Democratic brother had a #TBI when he was in his 20's. He suffered from #delusional disorder starting in his 50's. Well, I just spoke to him after a year of no contact and he is now a full-fledged conspiracy theorist Trumper. Just more proof that Trumpers are severely damaged people.
"Larkin donated his son's brain to Dr. Daniel Perl at the Uniformed Services University, the military medical school. We met Dr. Perl in 2017 while reporting on how autopsies discovered microscopic scars in the brains of #veterans who had taken their own lives. #Depression overwhelmed them months or years after the enormous blast of a roadside bomb."

Nasal Spray Blunts Traumatic Brain Injury: Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital has found that a nasal spray containing an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody significantly reduces brain inflammation and speeds recovery. #traumaticbraininjury #tbi #cd3 #treg #il10 #mva #nasalspray

InstagramHoward G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Nasal Spray Blunts Traumatic Brain Injury
So say neurologists at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. In a mouse model, they show that a nasal spray containing an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody significantly reduces brain inflammation and speeds recovery after a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
This antibody, sprayed into the nasal cavities, activates regulatory T cells, Tregs, that then travel to the brain and release IL-10 that in turn reduces microglial-medial inflammation there.
This anti-CD3 nasal spray must still prove its effectiveness in humans. If so, it will become a treatment for the TBI that follows concussions, motor vehicle accidents, and other sports-related head trauma.

"To test this idea, researchers gave what they describe as 'bump on head, ice pack' injuries to 16 adult female rats without anesthesia for three days in a row. Half an hour after each of the daily injuries, half the rats received an injection of psilocybin."
An unusual female-only study.
Hope it still works if treatment is delayed.

"The authors also noticed the rats treated with psilocybin showed reduced hyper-reactivity to CO2 following their head injuries and 'dramatic' differences in their functional connectivity."
Very interesting!

Have you looked at his account?
So I just got an Amber Alert from the TBI..Unfortunately I cannot see the details because it requires me to log into Facebook, where I don't have an account.
If the TBI has the infrastructure to send an alert to every phone in the state.. Can they have the alert link back to their web server? #amberalert #TN #Memphis #TBI

On the edge of becoming whole again, the reflection across the pool, now seems so far away. Hidden behind a wall, built with bricks of oblivion to the pain that reopened my scars, and held togther with the morar of hollow words.
A rebutal in place of remorse. A reaction to words I've not spoken seems to have put a plan in motion, and another brick between. After solutions manifest, continuing to observe and analyze, instead of just living and letting time mend.
Healing slows while responding seems futile, and far beyond the reach of my battered brain. As the reflection grieves the spirt again, strength seeps from me as the reflection fades. Without considering the cost, the oblivious don't realize what they've lost.

Post trauma can be like a scab not ready to come off. It forms a hardened shell to protect the inside.
But removing it and exposing the wound too soon, can slow the healing and may cause further damage.
Take good care of it, not allowing the inside to also become hard.
Question for my traumatic brain injury trunkies:
Does your capacity fluctuate with being tired, stressed, sick etc or are your limitations/capabilities more static regardless of the other ups and downs of life?
I am wondering if impact-type brain injuries have more/less flux than illness related cog/coordination issues.

A bill that was meaningful to Peters personally, he said, was one to help #veterans who were given a less-than-honorable discharge from the #military due to behavior resulting from #PTSD or undiagnosed Traumatic Brain Injury [#TBI] conditions.
The idea for the bill came from a homeless veteran in Grand Rapids who fit that description, Peters said.
April 2024: "In this retrospective population-based case-control study using AI-based analysis, we found a significantly increased occurrence of [cerebral microbleeds] in [non-hospitalized] COVID-19 cases compared with matched controls, with CMB in 12% of COVID-19 cases and 5% in controls. The significant difference persisted when excluding patients known to have an increased risk of CMB, i.e. patients with dementia and critical illness. Our results indicate that COVID-19 may be associated with an increased risk of CMB."
