Bilateral recurrent nerve palsy along with head injury is a rare clinical possibility and can be potentially fatal if not properly diagnosed. We report a case of a head injury patient with intact Glasgow Coma Scale requiring immediate re-intubation and tracheostomy after extubation failure as a result of stridor and severe dyspnoea with paradoxical respiratory pattern, possibly because of undiagnosed significant surgical history.

Background: Traffic fatalities within Powered Two-Wheelers (PTW) users are mostly due to head and thoracic injuries. This study assesses airbag use prevalence among PTW users involved in Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) in France and aims to estimate airbag effectiveness in protecting against fatality risk.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using French national police crash data from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2022, including a total of 69,350 PTW users.

Background: Despite the high prevalence of violence among transgender and gender-diverse individuals, injury disparities remain understudied and are often attributed to underreporting. To address this limitation, we analysed radiology reports to objectively compare the prevalence and patterns of injuries between transgender women and cisgender women.
Methods: We used the Research Patient Data Registry at a level 1 trauma centre in the USA to identify 263 transgender women and 525 age-matched, race-matched and ethnicity-matched cisgender women.

The current study sought to explore the impact of a novel noninvasive treatment called transcranial photobiomodulation (PBM) on resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of the cerebellum in individuals with a history of repetitive head acceleration events (RHAEs). RHAEs are associated with cumulative neurological compromise, including chronic alterations in rsFC; however, few treatments have been investigated to mitigate these effects. A recent study by our team demonstrated that PBM treatment led to improvements in measures of balance and motor function in adults with RHAE exposure.

Introduction And Importance: Monteggia lesions combine a fracture of the ulna with dislocation of the radial head. Monteggia-like variants add a radial head fracture. We report a unique Monteggia-like injury with a bifocal radial fracture and subcutaneous enucleation of the radial neck, which does not fit existing classifications.

Background: In tackle-collision sports, the tackle has the highest incidence, severity, and burden of injury. Head injuries and concussions during the tackle are a major concern within tackle-collision sports. To reduce concussion and head impact risk, evaluating optimal tackle techniques to inform tackle-related prevention strategies has been recommended.
