    Abstract Significance: Photosensitivity is common after mild traumatic brain injury. However, this study demonstrates that photosensitivity is also impacted by common comorbidities that often occur with mild traumatic brain injury. Understanding how physical and psychological traumas impact photosensitivity can help improve provider care to trauma survivors and guide novel therapeutic interventions.
    Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the association between mild traumatic brain injury and common comorbidities on photosensitivity in post-9/11 veterans.
    Methods: Existing data from the Translational Research Center for TBI and Stress Disorders cohort study were analyzed including traumatic brain injury history and post-traumatic stress disorder clinical diagnostic interviews; sleep quality, anxiety, and depression symptoms self-report questionnaires; and photosensitivity severity self-report from the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory. Analysis of covariance and multiple ordinal regression models were used to assess associations between mild traumatic brain injury and common comorbidities with photosensitivity severity.
    Results: Six hundred forty-one post-9/11 veterans were included in this study. An initial analysis showed that both mild traumatic brain injury and current post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis were independently associated with higher photosensitivity ratings compared with veterans without either condition, with no interaction observed between these two conditions. Results of the ordinal regression models demonstrated positive associations between degree of photosensitivity and the number of mild traumatic brain injuries during military service and current post-traumatic stress disorder symptom severity, particularly hyperarousal symptoms, even when controlling for other factors. In addition, the degree of sleep disturbances and current anxiety symptoms were both positively associated with photosensitivity ratings, whereas depression symptoms, age, and sex were not.
    Conclusions: Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and sleep disturbances were all found to significantly impact photosensitivity severity and are therefore important clinical factors that eye care providers should consider when managing veterans with a history of deployment-related trauma reporting photosensitivity symptoms.

    Abstract Objective: The primary aim included explorations of: (1) the associations between the history of blast exposure (BE), close blast exposure (CBE), and blast-related traumatic brain injury (bTBI) and metabolic abnormality; and (2) the potential mediating effect of comorbid psychological and somatic conditions on these associations. The secondary aim explored the association of dose-response impact of BE, CBE, and bTBI and metabolic abnormality.
    Setting: Data were collected by the Translational Research Center for TBI and Stress Disorders (TRACTS).
    Participants: Post-9/11 veterans from the TRACTS baseline sample who had conflict-zone deployment experience ( N = 734).
    Design: Cross-sectional secondary data analysis. We computed relative risks (RRs) and 95% CI using modified Poisson regression. We quantified the impact of co-occurring psychological and somatic conditions on this association using mediation analyses.
    Main measures: Exposures included BE (<100 m), CBE (<10 m), and bTBI. Metabolic abnormality outcomes included (1) overweight/obesity (defined by abnormal waist-hip ratio [WHR] and abnormal waist circumference [WC]); (2) glucose dysregulation; and (3) meeting criteria for cardiometabolic syndrome (defined by guidelines).
    Results: The sample was majority male (91%) and White (68%), with a mean age of 34.6 years (SD = 8.99). Most participants had 1 or more BE (83%); 48% experienced 1 or more CBE. Overweight/obesity was highly prevalent in the sample (51% had abnormal WHR and 60% abnormal WC). There was no significant direct or indirect association between BE, CBE, and bTBI and metabolic abnormalities (RRs: 0.70-1.51; P 's > .05).
    Conclusion: Future research is needed to investigate the association of BE with metabolic abnormalities with larger, more targeted sample selection, and longer follow-up. Effective and sustainable weight management and metabolic health prevention interventions for this veteran cohort are needed.

    Abstract Introduction: Since 2006, efforts have been made to increase the accurate identification of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in post-9/11 military personnel. The Boston Assessment of TBI-Lifetime (BAT-L) is the first validated instrument designed specifically to diagnose TBIs throughout the life span in post-9/11 Veterans. The objective was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the BAT-L with medical records from the Department of Defense (DoD).
    Material and methods: Traumatic brain injury diagnosis for 153 Veterans deployed in 2011 enrolled in the Translational Research Center for TBI and Stress Disorder longitudinal cohort study from the BAT-L clinical interview was compared to DoD online medical records to determine diagnostic prevalence and injury severity for all head injury cases during deployment. Sensitivity, specificity, Cohen's kappa, and Kendall's tau-b were calculated for TBI diagnosis and severity. Concordant TBI cases and discordant TBI cases were compared using chi-square and t-test analyses. This study has been approved by VA Boston by Institutional Review Boards for human participants' protection.
    Results: Correspondence of TBI diagnoses from the BAT-L with DoD records was fair (κ = 0.42; sensitivity = 72.7%; specificity = 82.8%). Comparison of injury severity also showed fair correspondence (κ = 0.41). Missing TBI diagnostic data from DoD records were frequent; 43% of TBIs reported on the BAT-L did not have any documentation of assessment or diagnoses in DoD records.
    Conclusion: This study addresses a critical gap in research by comparing the diagnostic accuracy of a validated, semi-structured clinical interview with available medical records. Diagnosis of TBIs via the BAT-L was both sensitive and specific when compared to DoD records, supporting the validity of the BAT-L for retrospective assessment of military TBI. However, diagnostic correspondence was only fair. This lack of diagnostic agreement was related to multiple factors including lack of documentation at the time of injury by DoD, differences in assessment and goals, and other combat-related motivational factors associated with failure to report injuries while deployed. Several policies have been implemented to address underreporting and under-documentation of TBIs, yet challenges remain. Recommendations for evaluating TBI are presented. Accurate diagnosis of TBI is necessary for appropriate treatment planning, as well as service-related compensation.

    Abstract Objective: This study examined cognitive functioning in post-9/11 Veterans with the deployment trauma phenotype (DTP), comprised of co-occurring diagnoses of depressive disorder (major depressive disorder and or persistent depressive disorder/dysthymia), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), using objective neuropsychological measures.
    Method: Participants included a cross-sectional sample of 399 post-9/11 Veterans who completed clinical interviews and neuropsychological tests as part of a larger study at VA Boston Healthcare System. Confirmatory factor analysis identified four cognitive domains: attention, cognitive control/processing speed, episodic memory, and cognitive flexibility. Veterans with DTP and its constituent diagnoses in isolation, two-way diagnostic combinations, and no constituent diagnoses were compared.
    Results: Veterans with DTP had a twofold increased prevalence for below average performance in cognitive control/processing speed compared with those with no constituent diagnoses (prevalence ratios [PRs] = 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-4.05). The PTSD + depressive disorder group also had a twofold increased prevalence for below average performance in episodic memory (PR = 2.16; 95% CI: 1.05-4.43).
    Conclusions: The deployment trauma phenotype is associated with clinically significant decrease in cognitive control/processing speed in post-9/11 Veterans. Comorbid PTSD and depressive disorder negatively impacted performances in episodic memory. Mild TBI alone showed no cognitive deficits. Clinical interventions should target psychiatric symptoms with a transdiagnostic approach to address this multimorbid population.

    Abstract Adolescence represents a critical period of neural development during which binge drinking (BD) is prevalent. Though prior work has shown that white matter (WM) integrity is susceptible to damage from excessive alcohol intake in adults, the effect of early adolescent BD on WM health in adulthood remains unknown. Veterans with a history of BD onset before age 15 [n = 49; mean age = 31.8 years; early-onset adolescent binge drinkers (EBD)] and after age 15 [n = 290; mean age = 32.2 years; late-onset adolescent binge drinkers (LBD)] were studied with diffusion tensor imaging. Group differences in fractional anisotropy (FA; movement of water molecules along the WM) and mean diffusivity (MD; average movement of water molecules) were examined as indices of WM integrity using FreeSurfer and FMRIB Software Library (FSL) processing streams. Lower FA and higher MD are thought to represent degradations in WM integrity. A reference group (RG) of social drinkers with no history of BD (n = 31) was used to provide comparative normative data. We observed widespread decreased FA and increased MD in EBDs, compared to LBDs, as well as decreased FA in the pars triangularis, lateral orbitofrontal cortex, superior frontal cortex, isthmus cingulate, and genu and splenium of the corpus callosum EBDs also had lower WM integrity compared to the RG. Adults who initiated BD during early adolescence demonstrated decreased FA and increased MD throughout the frontostriatal circuits that mediate inhibitory control and thus may result in impulsive behavior and a predisposition for developing alcohol use disorder during adulthood.

    Abstract Background: Many post-9/11 U.S. combat Veterans experience difficulty readjusting to civilian life after military service, including relationship problems, reduced work productivity, substance misuse, and increased anger control problems. Mental health problems are frequently cited as causing these difficulties, driven by unparalleled rates of mild traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress, and other co-occurring emotional and physical conditions. Given the high prevalence of multimorbidity in this cohort, acceptable, non-stigmatizing, transdiagnostic interventions targeting reintegration are needed. The STEP-Home reintegration workshop has the potential to significantly improve skills to foster civilian reintegration, increase engagement in VA services, and improve mental health outcomes in Veterans with and without diagnosed clinical conditions.
    Methods/design: Ongoing from 2019, a prospective, two-site, randomized trial of 206 post-9/11 U.S. military Veterans randomized to receive either 12 sessions of the STEP-Home transdiagnostic reintegration workshop (SH; Active Intervention) or Present Centered Reintegration Group Therapy (PCRGT; Active Control Intervention). Primary outcomes are reintegration, anger, and emotional regulation post-intervention and at 3-months post-intervention. Secondary outcomes include measures of mental health, functional and vocational status, and cognition.
    Conclusion: This study addresses an important gap in transdiagnostic interventions to improve civilian reintegration in post-9/11 Veterans. STEP-Home is designed to promote treatment engagement and retention, opening the door to critically needed VA care, and ultimately reducing long-term healthcare burden of untreated mental health illness in U.S. Veterans.

    Abstract Maladaptive anger and aggression are common in US military veterans and increase risk for impaired social relationships and functioning, justice-involvement and violence. Early life (before age 18) adversity predisposes veterans to later life psychopathology, though the link to increased later life anger is unclear. We analysed cross-sectional data of 158 post-9/11 veterans from the Translational Research Center for Traumatic Brain Injury and Stress Disorders study with and without a history of early life adversity (ns = 109 and 49, respectively). We explored the relationship among major clinical variables and current veteran anger (Dimensions of Anger Reactions) and whether the associations with these variables differed among participants with and without a history of retrospective self-reported early life adversity (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire). In the overall sample, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression severities had the strongest associations with current veteran anger (βs = 0.261 and 0.263; p-values = 0.0022 and 0.0103, respectively). In the subsample without early life adversity, only PTSD severity was significantly associated with anger (β = 0.577, p = 0.0004). In the early life adversity subsample, this strong association weakened and was no longer significant (β = 0.168, p = 0.1007); instead, anxiety and depression severities showed moderate associations with anger (βs = 0.243 and 0.287, p-values = 0.0274 and 0.0130, respectively). Findings suggest that clinicians should screen veterans with history of early life adversity for depression and anxiety when anger is present.

    Abstract Objective: Head injury and strangulation are highly prevalent in intimate partner violence (IPV) contexts, but there is little research examining the potential implications of these injuries on physical health and functional status. This pilot study explored the extent to which injury type (head injury, strangulation) and severity (no injury, subconcussive head injury, traumatic brain injury; no strangulation, strangulation, strangulation with loss of consciousness) were associated with biomarkers of cardiometabolic health and self-reported functioning among female survivors of IPV.
    Methods: Participants were 51 individuals assigned female at birth who experienced IPV during their lifetime and screened positive for probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (average age = 32.6 years, SD = 7.1).
    Results: Head injury was associated with statistically significant increases in blood glucose levels (p = .01, d = 1.10). Shifts toward more high-risk values with moderate-strong effect sizes were also found in high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and waist-to-hip ratio (ps: .06-.13; ds: 0.51-1.30). Strangulation was associated with increased cholesterol levels, with a moderate effect size (p = .20, d = 0.59). Regression models accounting for age, education, PTSD symptoms, childhood trauma, strangulation, and head injuries predicted functional disability status (R
    Conclusions: Findings suggest the need to develop integrated treatments that address physical health comorbidities among female survivors of IPV with a history of head injury to improve daily function and quality of life.

    Abstract Intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse perpetrated by a current or former partner. IPV affects both genders, though little is known about its effects on men as victims. The aims of this study were to determine if IPV is a factor contributing to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) severity independently of deployment-related trauma, and to determine if there are gender differences in these associations. Participants were 46 female and 471 male post-9/11 veterans. Four sequential regressions were employed to examine the independent contribution of IPV among multiple trauma types on PTSD severity in men and women at two epochs, post-deployment (participants were anchored to deployment-related PTSD symptoms) and current (within the past month). Models were significant for both epochs in men (

    Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of vascular risk factors that can impact cognition. Cognitive reserve (CR), specifically early operators of reserve (e.g., education), have not been explored in the relationship between MetS and cognition. Adults 45-90 years old (n = 149) underwent neuropsychological testing and evaluation for MetS. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses defined neuropsychological domains and created a CR score based on early operators of CR. Regression analyses examined the association among MetS, CR, and neuropsychological performance. CFA revealed two neuropsychological factors: Episodic Memory and Executive Functioning. Controlling for age and physical ability, MetS and CR were significant predictors of the Factors. With CR in the model, MetS became a non-significant predictor of Executive Functioning; CR and physical ability were the most significant predictors. CR and MetS significantly predicted Episodic Memory . The results are discussed in the context of neuroprotective factors and cognitive aging.
