Journal ArticleDOI

Microglia in neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: The immune checkpoints that control microglial functions are considered and how their imbalance and subsequent neuroinflammation leads to neurodegeneration is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroimmunology of Traumatic Brain Injury: Time for a Paradigm Shift.

TL;DR: A new paradigm to study innate immune cells following TBI is proposed that moves away from the existing M1/M2 classification of activation states toward a stimulus- and disease-specific understanding of polarization state based on transcriptomic and proteomic profiling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurological toxicities associated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.

TL;DR: Focal neurological deficits are frequently observed after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and are associated with regional EEG abnormalities, FDG-PET hypometabolism, and elevated velocities on transcranial Doppler ultrasound.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies Through Withdrawal of Care: Do They Exist in Traumatic Brain Injury, Too?

TL;DR: Factors associated with withdrawal of care in moderate-severe traumatic brain injury patients, and how WOC may affect short-term mortality and receipt of neurosurgery were examined, finding WOC was the most important predictor of in-hospital mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion tensor imaging in acute-to-subacute traumatic brain injury: a longitudinal analysis

TL;DR: Variability in acute FA correlations with outcome suggests that the optimal timing of DTI for TBI prognostication may be in the subacute period, and white matter FA declined during the acute-to-subacute stages of TBI.
