    Abstract Purpose of review: To describe the key features and epidemiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and how they may be changing, with an emphasis on how this may affect care in the intensive care unit.
    Recent findings: TBI has been traditionally perceived as occurring mainly in a younger, predominantly male population injured in high velocity motor vehicle crashes or assaults. However, there are an increasing number of patients over 65 years who have sustained a TBI secondary to low velocity falls. Considering the effects of frailty, comorbidities and extracranial injuries is important when making management decisions. Mild TBI comprises a third of those admitted and as a significant proportion may have poor outcomes secondary to their TBI they should be assessed to ensure appropriate follow-up. Multimodal monitoring may offer a way in the future to offer more personalised management to this very complex and heterogeneous patient group.
    Summary: This review highlights the urgent need to develop more age-inclusive TBI consensus management guidelines aimed at improving short- and long-term outcomes for the large and growing TBI population. Being elderly does not necessarily portend a poor outcome, and more research is needed to better triage, guide management and prognosticate on these patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy [DCM] is a slow-motion spinal cord injury. Compression and dynamic compression have been considered disease hallmarks. However, this is likely an oversimplification, as compression is more commonly incidental and has only modest correlation to disease severity. MRI studies have recently suggested spinal cord oscillation could play a role.
    Research question: To determine if spinal cord oscillation could contribute to spinal cord injury in degenerative cervical myelopathy.
    Material and methods: A computational model of an oscillating spinal cord was developed from imaging of a healthy volunteer. Using finite element analysis, the observed implications of stress and strain, were measured in the context of a simulated disc herniation. The significance was bench marked by comparison to a more recognised dynamic injury mechanism; a flexion extension model of dynamic compression.
    Results: Spinal cord oscillation altered both compressive and shear strain on the spinal cord. Following initial compression, compressive strain moves from within the spinal cord to the spinal cord surface, whilst shear strain is magnified by 0.1-0.2, depending on the amplitude of oscillation. These orders of magnitude are equivalent to a dynamic compression model.
    Discussion and conclusion: Spinal cord oscillation could significantly contribute to spinal cord damage across DCM. Its repeated occurrence with every heartbeat, draws parallels to the concept of fatigue damage, which could reconcile differing theories on the origins of DCM. This remains hypothetical at this stage, and further investigations are required.

    Abstract Background: Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) arises from spinal degenerative changes injuring the cervical spinal cord. Most cord compression is incidental, referred to as asymptomatic spinal cord compression (ASCC). How and why ASCC differs from DCM is poorly understood. In this paper, we study a local cohort to identify specific types and groups of degenerative pathology more likely associated with DCM than ASCC.
    Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort analysis (IRB Approval ID: PRN10455). The frequency of degenerative findings between those with ASCC and DCM patients were compared using network analysis, hierarchical clustering, and comparison to existing literature to identify potential subgroups in a local cohort (N = 155) with MRI-defined cervical spinal cord compression. Quantitative measures of spinal cord compression (MSCC and MCC) were used to confirm their relevance.
    Results: ELF (8.7 %, 95 % CI 3.8-13.6 % vs 35.7 %, 95 % CI 27.4-44.0 %) Congenital Stenosis (3.9 %, 95 % CI 0.6-7.3 % vs 25.0 %, 95 % CI 17.5-32.5 %), and OPLL (0.0 %, 95 % CI 0.0-0.0 % vs 3.6 %, 95 % CI 0.3-6.8 %) were more likely in patients with DCM. Comparative network analysis indicated loss of lordosis was associated with ASCC, whilst ELF with DCM. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis indicated four sub-groups: multi-level disc disease with ELF, single-level disc disease without loss of lordosis and OPLL with DCM, and single-level disc disease with loss of lordosis with ASCC. Quantitative measures of cord compression were higher in groups associated with DCM, but similar in patients with single-level disc disease and loss of lordosis.
    Conclusions: This study identified four subgroups based on degenerative pathology requiring further investigation.

    Abstract Secondary injuries remain an important cause of the morbidity and mortality associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Progression of cerebral contusions occurs in up to 75% of patients with TBI, and this contributes to subsequent clinical deterioration and requirement for surgical intervention. Despite this, the role of early clinical and radiological factors in predicting contusion progression remains relatively poorly defined due to studies investigating progression of all types of hemorrhagic injuries as a combined cohort. In this review, we summarize data from recent studies on factors which predict contusion progression, and the effect of contusion progression on clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Rationale and objectives: To develop a method for automatic localisation of brain lesions on head CT, suitable for both population-level analysis and lesion management in a clinical setting.
    Materials and methods: Lesions were located by mapping a bespoke CT brain atlas to the patient's head CT in which lesions had been previously segmented. The atlas mapping was achieved through robust intensity-based registration enabling the calculation of per-region lesion volumes. Quality control (QC) metrics were derived for automatic detection of failure cases. The CT brain template was built using 182 non-lesioned CT scans and an iterative template construction strategy. Individual brain regions in the CT template were defined via non-linear registration of an existing MRI-based brain atlas.Evaluation was performed on a multi-centre traumatic brain injury dataset (TBI) (n = 839 scans), including visual inspection by a trained expert. Two population-level analyses are presented as proof-of-concept: a spatial assessment of lesion prevalence, and an exploration of the distribution of lesion volume per brain region, stratified by clinical outcome.
    Results: 95.7% of the lesion localisation results were rated by a trained expert as suitable for approximate anatomical correspondence between lesions and brain regions, and 72.5% for more quantitatively accurate estimates of regional lesion load. The classification performance of the automatic QC showed an AUC of 0.84 when compared to binarised visual inspection scores. The localisation method has been integrated into the publicly available Brain Lesion Analysis and Segmentation Tool for CT (BLAST-CT).
    Conclusion: Automatic lesion localisation with reliable QC metrics is feasible and can be used for patient-level quantitative analysis of TBI, as well as for large-scale population analysis due to its computational efficiency (<2 min/scan on GPU).

    Abstract Neurological manifestations in pandemics frequently cause short and long-term consequences which are frequently overlooked. Despite advances in the treatment of infectious diseases, nervous system involvement remains a challenge, with limited treatments often available. The under-recognition of neurological manifestations may lead to an increase in the burden of acute disease as well as secondary complications with long-term consequences. Nervous system infection or dysfunction during pandemics is common and its enduring consequences, especially among vulnerable populations, are frequently forgotten. An improved understanding the possible mechanisms of neurological damage during epidemics, and increased recognition of the possible manifestations is fundamental to bring insights when dealing with future outbreaks. To reverse this gap in knowledge, we reviewed all the pandemics, large and important epidemics of human history in which neurological manifestations are evident, and described the possible physiological processes that leads to the adverse sequelae caused or triggered by those pathogens.
