Individuals with psychiatric illnesses (PIs) have increased rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Nonetheless, the influence of underlying PI on TBI outcomes is poorly understood. ⋯ Individuals with PI and SUD appeared to have better outcomes but more complicated hospital stays following severe TBI. Future studies should investigate the mechanisms underlying these outcomes.

To assess the overall survival (OS) of internal cerebrospinal fluid shunt (ICSFS) in the adult population. ⋯ On contrary to what one might think, there are few available studies assessing adult ICSFS OS. We used a novel technique to meta-analyze adult ICSFS OS. ICSFS failure rate is maximal within the 3 to 6 postoperative months. Afterward, the risk slowly decreases over time. At 5 years, less than three quarters of the patients still have a naïve functional ICSFS never revised.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a common cause of lower back pain, and cell apoptosis plays a key role in its progression. This study explores the therapeutic potential of a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hydrogel loaded with allicin for treating IVDD. ⋯ ROS-responsive hydrogel loaded with allicin shows potential as a therapeutic approach for IVDD by inhibiting cell apoptosis and reducing disc degeneration in vivo.
