Introduction of a classification interview for post-traumatic headache after concussion.

BACKGROUND: Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause temporary disruption to brain function, with up to half of those affected complaining of functional limitations up to 12 months after the initial injury. Mild TBI can cause a range of sequelae, most commonly post-traumatic headache (PTH). The incidence of PTH varies post mild TBI, with up to 80% affected by three months and 60% by one year, with heterogenous phenotypes reported. We aimed to introduce a standardised interview to identify and characterise PTH. The primary outcome was to identify PTH, and the secondary outcome to characteris

Agreement between sonographic and pathoanatomic classifications of pediatric urachal remnants.

AIM: Ultrasound is the favorite method for follow-up of urachal remnants when conservative management is chosen instead of surgical resection. However, the success of conservative management depends on the type of urachal anomaly, and the agreement between sonographic and pathoanatomic diagnoses has not yet been assessed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively included all minors treated for a urachal anomaly at two German pediatric surgical centers between January 2008 and December 2020.

Classification and description of the drainage state of manholes in urban drainage systems.

Manholes are important structures in urban storm drainage systems connecting roads and underground drainage networks, and they are also an important part of the research on improving urban resistance to storm flooding. Due to cost and space constraints, most of the existing experimental data on manholes come from scale model experiments obtained by scaling according to Froude's similarity criterion, and there is a lack of validation based on full-size experimental data. This also leads to inconsistencies in the form and parameter values of the manhole flow exchange equations derived from diffe

A biological classification of Parkinson's disease: the SynNeurGe research diagnostic criteria.

With the hope that disease-modifying treatments could target the molecular basis of Parkinson's disease, even before the onset of symptoms, we propose a biologically based classification. Our classification acknowledges the complexity and heterogeneity of the disease by use of a three-component system (SynNeurGe): presence or absence of pathological α-synuclein (S) in tissues or CSF; evidence of underlying neurodegeneration (N) defined by neuroimaging procedures; and documentation of pathogenic gene variants (G) that cause or strongly predispose to Parkinson's disease. These three components a…
