Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the damage to brain tissue and disruption of the brain function caused by an external mechanical force as evidenced by documented medical records.
Objectives: The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of TBI through age-groups, severity, and mechanism of TBI.
Methods: This cross-sectional study contained...

... the most common principal severity of TBI conducted among TBI patients aged 20-29 years old was at the moderate level, also the males and females' population with this age group have been known to be at high risk for three degrees of TBI (Figure 1). Most of the traumatic brain injuries that took place by car accident multiple trauma and head trauma show the severity of TBI in both genders (Figure 2). ...

Neurological diseases associated with dysfunctions of neural circuits, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), depression and epilepsy, have been increasingly prevalent. To tackle these issues, artificial stimulation or regulation of specific neural circuits and nuclei are employed to alleviate or cure certain neurological diseases. In particular, ultr...
Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the disease that causes the most common disability globally. The cisternostomy as adjuvant management of TBI lacks documentation. We aim to prove the effectiveness and safety of cisternostomy and decompressive craniectomy in managing traumatic brain injury. Methods: The search for published scientific a...
Background
Posttraumatic seizures (PTSs) are a major source of disability after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Brain Trauma Foundation Guidelines recommend prophylactic anti-epileptics (AEDs) for early PTS in severe TBI, but high-quality evidence is lacking in mild TBI.
Methods
To determine the benefit of administering prophylactic AEDs, we per...
Despite the numerous research studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI), many physiopathologic mechanisms remain unknown. TBI is a complex process, in which neuroinflammation and glial cells play an important role in exerting a functional immune and damage-repair response. The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is one of the first steps to initiate...
Increased incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) imposes a growing need to understand the pathology of brain trauma. A correlation between the incidence of multiple brain traumas and rates of behavioural and cognitive deficiencies has been identified amongst people that experienced multiple TBI events. Mechanically, repetitive TBIs may affect br...

Background
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of leading cause of death and disability in Iran that has serious consequences on people’s health. Understanding of epidemiology of TBI can be helpful for policy making in health care management. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the epidemiology of TBI in Iran.
Methods
PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google scholar, and internal databases including, SID, Magiran, and IranMedex were searched to identify the relevant published studies up to Feb 2022. Moreover, the references list of key studies was scanned to find more records. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool was used to assess the quality of included studies. The Excel and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software were to analyze the data.
Results
Overall, 23,446 patients from 15 studies were included in the study. The overall mean age of the patients was 31.36 ± 0.13 yr (95%CI: 31.10 to 31.61). The majority of the patients were male (74.37%), with a male to female ratio of 3:1. The incidence rate of TBI was 15.3 to 144 per 100,000 population. The mortality rate of TBI was estimated to be 10.4% (95%CI: 5% to 19%). The most common causes of injury were road traffic accidents (RTAs) (60%; 95%CI: 49% to 70%), and falling (20%; 95%CI: 16% to 26%), respectively. The most frequent type of head injury was subdural hematoma.
Conclusion
Our findings highlight that appropriate control and prevention strategies should be focused on male, road traffic accidents, and the group under 40 yr.
