Article Abstract
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), also known as concussion, is a common injury which affects patients of all demographics. There is a global effort to accurately diagnose and identify patients at highest risk of prolonged symptom burden to facilitate appropriate rehabilitation efforts. Underreporting is common with large numbers not engaging with services, in addition to differences in treatment outcomes according to ethnicity, age, and gender. As patients recover, symptomology evolves which challenges rehabilitative efforts with no clear definition of 'recovered'. This review describes key areas in mTBI such as diagnostic challenges, epidemiology, prognosis, and pathophysiology which serves as an introduction to "Eye Movements in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Ocular Biomarkers."

Pain is prevalent and a major source of disability after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a spinal cord injury (SCI). With a view of reducing the pain burden in neurotrauma, this study aimed to describe the use of pain management strategies and the adverse effects of opioids in patients with TBI and SCI. We collected data at hospital discharge (T1) and at 3 months post-injury (T2).

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States.
Background: Race associated differences and disparities in test scores, such as on neuropsychological measures, can complicate the interpretation of these test scores in student athletes following a concussion. It is unknown if there are race associated differences on the Sway Medical System, a battery that includes balance and cognitive tests for use in concussion management.
Purpose: To determine if there are race-associated differences in Sway Medical System balance and cognitive module scores among athletes undergoing preseason baseline testing.
Mechanisms Underlying Hazardous Alcohol Use After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
Purpose: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) have a bidirectional, synergistic, and complicated relationship. Although it is difficult to definitively say that mTBI causes AUD, certain biological mechanisms that occur after trauma are also associated with hazardous alcohol use. Hazardous drinking is defined as any quantity or pattern of alcohol consumption that places people at risk for physical and/or psychological harm.
