It's here, entirely my choice. I'm retiring. Appreciated every day of 41 years I've been paid to do what I loved -- writing, covering sports. Without y'all, it wouldn't have been possible. So, thanks from the bottom of my cantankerous heart. Your passion is admirable, beautiful.

Great to see our recent paper using the LETBI study published in @braincomms
@BrainComms@braincomms
Kumar et al. identified four clinical phenotypes and their neuroanatomical cortical network correlates in a well-characterized cohort of chronic traumatic brain injury. Read at buff.ly/7G04seP. @raj_kumarphd, @DamsOConnor, @ComaRecoveryLab, @YelenaBodien

Enjoyed working on this paper w @ml_pomeroy @DamsOConnor @ShannonJuengst @Rehabilomics4U and others. Individuals with TBI who never or rarely leave home face a poor prognosis. TBI clinicians should stress the importance of social engagement and physical activity outside the home
Brain Injury Research Center (BIRC) of Mount Sinai@SinaiTBI
In a recent Arch Phys Med Rehabil paper, BIRC faculty Dr. @raj_kumarphd & colleagues found 14.2% of @TBI_MS participants living in private residences 1 year post-TBI were homebound, with 2% never leaving home. Risk factors include older age, Medicaid use, and transport dependence

Army Special Forces veteran Dennis Hernandez had to seek help outside the VA to get treatment he needed for traumatic brain injuries. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, has introduced a bipartisan bill to help vets like him. on.necn.com/DAqsOxn

In a recent @JHTRonline paper, BIRC faculty,@raj_kumarphd, along with @TBI_MS colleagues created an objective neighborhood socioeconomic status index, the TBIMS-NSDI
This index may be used to study the influence of NEIGHBORHOOD on TBI outcomes in the TBIMS

Great work by @raj_kumarphd for his leadership in developing an objective measure of neighborhood socioeconomic advantage in the @TBI_MS database. This will help us better understand the impact of the local environment on long-term outcomes after TBI.

Yesterday I had a zoom meeting re: traumatic brain injury data that prematurely ended because my toddler ran full-speed face first into a mirror. 🙄 (He's ok fortunately)

Really important work led by @ThePintoLab showing the cardiovascular burden among persons living with TBI
Shanti Pinto, MD, MSCS@ThePintoLab
Our study looking at self-reported prevalence of cardiovascular conditions in the @TBI_MS database is out. We found higher rate of HTN and CVA but lower rate of MI and CHF after TBI, likely due to survival bias. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA… @UTSW_PMR @UTSWBrain

@ThePintoLab @GilMoralez So sorry to hear this tragic news and for your loss, Shanti.

Hard to believe it's been two weeks since @GilMoralez was taken from us. A brilliant scientist and co-PI for our first R01. More importantly, a friend and mentor to many, father, husband. Sorry we can't get down to Del Rio this weekend. RIP my friend.
