I've been asked a couple of things which I'll try to find out about, and if anybody here can share what they know, that would be great --

-- a 47-year-old man is post-ICU but still in acute care after exiting a goods van onto the road -- main injury impact to back of his head (occipital). He's doing well in that he's aware and remembering day to day, can't read well, makes sense talking/listening, swears much =disinhibited. He'll stay in acute hospital a little longer (10 weeks so far), pending possible (long-shot?) transfer to rehab hosp.

Basic question from family -- are there any Android tablet apps which could be good for him to try?

Sounds like he's bored, has fairly good energy, but reading attention/concentration untested ... and any app use would be 95% by himself.

-- This one is not necessarily strictly TBI, but there's maybe an angle for us all ... I've been contacted by a lady in her 70s (living in a very remote area) whose husband became very vulnerable to stumbling and falling. I'm not sure whether he fell badly and injured his head/brain but in any case, or in addition, he's had "environmental poisoning" from formaldehyde/formalin, having worked for many years in a lab handling that dangerouos preservative; (the poisoning-brain injury was neurologist-diagnosed). Lately he's declined more, not able to move much or to talk, I think.

In this couple's remote area, they're not going to get more help than some physio. ...They certainly do need much more help than mere words, but what she specifically strongly wants to know is, is it true that some brains cells can regenerate -- are there particular ones which can re-grow, and is there any way to stimulate/encourage their re-growth?

+Re-generation potential of whichever cells is something we'd all like to know more about. Does anybody know where to look for answers?

Would be grateful for any pointers on any angle of these diverse questions, please!

Be best.
