(2019)Objectives To measure the clinical, structural and functional changes of an individualised structured cognitive rehabilitation in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) population. Setting A single centre study, Malaysia. ... -
Beyond current research practice: Methodological consideration in MS rehabilitation research (is designing the perfect rehabilitation trial the Holy Grail or a Gordian knot?)
(2019)Rehabilitation is an essential aspect of symptomatic and supportive treatment for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The number of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for rehabilitation interventions in MS has increased ... -
A systematic review of personal smart technologies used to improve outcomes in adults with acquired brain injuries
(2019)OBJECTIVEThis review aimed to determine the effectiveness of personal smart technologies on outcomes in adults with acquired brain injury.DATA SOURCESA systematic literature search was conducted on 30 May 2019. Twelve ... -
A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies on patients' views and experiences of Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis
(2019)Background and aims: The process of being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) can be long and frustrating for individuals, which may affect their perceptions of MS and future relationships with healthcare professionals. ... -
Modifiable risk factors for poor health outcomes in multiple sclerosis: The urgent need for research to maximise smoking cessation success
(2019)Tobacco smoking is a well-established risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS) onset, progression and poor health outcomes in people with MS. Despite smoking being a modifiable risk factor, no research has been undertaken ... -
A group memory rehabilitation programme for people with traumatic brain injuries: The ReMemBrIn RCT
(2019)BACKGROUND: People with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) commonly report memory impairments. These are persistent, debilitating and reduce quality of life, but patients do not routinely receive memory rehabilitation after ... -

Multimodal coding and strategic approach in young and older adults' visual working memory performance
(2019)Visual working memory (WM) was investigated in young (18-35 yrs) and older (63-88 yrs) adults by assessing use of visual and verbal processing, and strategic approach. Experiment 1 comprised a visual interference paradigm, ... -
Axonal degeneration and demyelination following traumatic spinal cord injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2019)The pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI) related processes of axonal degeneration and demyelination are poorly understood. The present systematic review and meta-analysis were performed such to establish quantitative ... -
Oxytocin modulates the effective connectivity between the precuneus and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
(2019)Our social activity is heavily influenced by the process of introspection, with emerging research suggesting a role for the Default Mode Network (DMN) in social cognition. We hypothesize that oxytocin, a neuropeptide with ... -

Development of human electrophysiological brain networks
(2018)Functional activity in the human brain is intrinsically organized into independently active, connected brain regions. These networks include sensorimotor systems, as well as higher-order cognitive networks such as the ... -
Potential diagnostic and prognostic value of serum and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in traumatic spinal cord injury: A systematic review
(2018)It remains unclear whether biomarkers in the serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be used for diagnosis or prognosis of spinal cord injuries (SCI). Therefore, a systematic review was undertaken to evaluate the prognostic ... -
Effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on empathy and impulsivity in healthy adult males
