Topics in Cognitive Rehabilitation in the TBI Post-Hospital Phase
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to nondegenerative, noncongenital damage to the brain from an external mechanical force, which can lead to permanent or temporary impairment of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions, with an associated diminished or altered state of consciousness. Despite this broad definition, it is estimated that more than 1.500.000 people suffer TBI annually in US, with 20% afflicted with moderate or severe forms. Additionally, a high percentage of these patients are unable to return to their daily routine (approximately 50%). In this context, both motor and cognitive rehabilitation are extremely important for these individuals. The aim of cognitive and motor ...

The Role of Primary Motor Cortex as a Marker for and Modulator of Pain Control and Emotional-Affective Processing
The sensory and motor cortical homunculi proposed by Walter Penfield were a major landmark for the anatomical mapping of the brain. More than 60 years after, the development of new tools to investigate brain function non-invasively has increased our knowledge about the structure and functions of the primary motor Cortex (M1) beyond motor control in both humans and animals. This book highlights the role of the motor cortex that goes way beyond motor functioning. We were interested in both theoretical and empirical contributions related to electrophysiological, pharmacological, neuroimaging, and neuromodulatory studies exploring the role of M1 on non-motor functions, such as pain, abnormal neuroplasticity that may lead to chronic pain conditions; or the relationship between M1 and mental imagery or emotion. This book is comprised of 15 articles published in this edited volume as a research topic collection in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience titled “The Role of Primary Motor Cortex as a Marker and Modulator of Pain Control and Emotional-Affective Processing.”
Rehabilitation 2030: meeting report, Geneva, Switzerland, 10 - 11 July 2023
The 3rd Global Rehabilitation 2030 meeting was held at WHO headquarters on 10 and 11 July 2023. Since the Rehabilitation 2030: Call for action was launched in 2017, the rehabilitation sector has made significant progress. Over the past 6 years, rehabilitation stakeholders together with WHO have provided technical support to Member States and developed a series of normative guidance and tools that support strengthening rehabilitation in health systems. The 3rd Global Rehabilitation 2030 meeting was an opportunity to review progress of the Rehabilitation 2030 Call for Action so far, as well as to prepare for and coordinate the actions requested in the recent WHA76.6 resolution "Strengthening rehabilitation in health systems" adopted in May 2023. This report summarizes the key discussions, decisions and action points from the meeting.
Cases on Applying Knowledge Economy Principles for Economic Growth in Developing Nations
The knowledge economy is the added non-monetary value that society accrues from increased access to data, information, and knowledge in the new, globally connected world. ICT and technology innovation are paving the way for significant economic development opportunities for countries that have embarked in a concerted effort to model their economies according to the knowledge economy principles. Among developing countries, knowledge economy principles are being applied mostly in a sector-wise level, where government intervention with enabling policies coupled with joint efforts by the private sector, academia, and other actors are resulting in durable and sustainable benefits. Cases on Applyi...
World Rehabilitation Alliance: meeting report, Geneva, Switzerland, 12-13 July 2023
The World Rehabilitation Alliance (WRA) members meeting, held on 12 and 13 July at WHO headquarters in Geneva Switzerland, was the first in-person meeting of the WRA. The meeting followed the World Rehabilitation Alliance launch event on 11 July, an occasion which was celebrated with an evening reception and concert by Ricky Kej. The WRA members meeting was attended by WRA Steering Committee, representatives of WRA member organizations, WHO Secretariat and external partners. The meeting involved both plenary and breakout room discussions, with significant time allocated for discussions and planning within the different WRA workstreams.
Neurocritical Care for Neurosurgeons
This unique book discusses the management of neurocritical care patients, including basic concepts, pathophysiologic principles, monitoring, treatment indications, and factors that affect outcomes in patients requiring neurocritical care assistance. It addresses the need to improve continuing education in this area, highlighting patient care in the perioperative period. This is the first book to provide a simplified overview for neurosurgeons and neurologists to understand the neurocritical patient journey. It is divided into three parts: the first covers the basics concepts, from monitoring to the interpretation of exams; the second explores general management of specific situations encountered in intensive care and the last part includes prognostic and rehabilitation models, as well as new perspectives. Thanks to the accessible, neurosurgical specific language, the book is well suited for all professionals involved in neurocritical care, including students, but is also a valuable resource for residents and researches, as well as experienced neurosurgeons or neurologists looking for updated information and guidelines.
