[PMID: 36816552 PMCID: PMC9932540 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.913855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the most common injuries in forensic medicine, the identification of which is of particular importance in forensic practice. To reveal the circumstances and trends of TBI in the forensic field, we used the Web of Science (WoS) database for comprehensive retrieval. We made a metrological analysis of 1,089 papers in the past 50 years (1972-2021). The United States and Germany have the most forensic research on TBI. Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) has been the focus of attention for many years, and much effort has been devoted to its diagnosis in forensic pathology. Infants and children are the subgroups of most concern, especially in infant and child abuse cases. Research on identifying shaken baby syndrome has received increasing attention in recent years. Overall, our study provides a comprehensive list and analysis of the articles regarding TBI in legal medicine, which may shed light on recognizing the trends and research hotspots in this field.

Meng E, Duan Y, Wang X. Therapeutic mechanism of intracranial infection in patients with hydrocephalus after craniocerebral injury based on decompressive craniectomy. Saudi J Biol Sci 2020; 27:873-880. [PMID: 32127765 PMCID: PMC7042624 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2019.12.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2019] [Revised: 12/24/2019] [Accepted: 12/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze the treatment mechanism of decompressive craniectomy for intracranial infection in patients with hydrocephalus after craniocerebral injury, and to provide a treatment plan for intracranial infection in patients with hydrocephalus after craniocerebral injury. In this study, literature screening and data acquisition were carried out firstly based on the research content, and then heterogeneity analysis, Meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis were performed using statistical methods for the unilateral and bilateral decompressive craniectomy. Heterogeneity analysis, Meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis of indiscriminate unilateral decompressive craniectomy was performed; heterogeneity analysis, Meta-analysis, cumulative Meta-analysis, and sensitivity analysis for bilateral decompressive craniectomy were performed. In this study, the order of influence on patients with hydrocephalus after brain injury was as follows: bilateral decompressive craniectomy > unilateral and bilateral decompressive decompression > indiscriminate unilateral decompressive. Intracranial infection in patients with hydrocephalus after the craniocerebral injury should be comprehensively evaluated before the surgery and given clinical treatment in time.

Abstract
Aim of this study is to establish a possibility of finding morphologic signs of diffuse axonal injury early after the injury. Use of immunohistochemical examination of the brain to detect protein β-APP made it possible not only to diagnose this condition correctly, but also to reasonably and categorically answer the question of a causal relationship between causing damage and the onset of death.
