Effects of repeated mild head impacts in contact sports: adding it up.
Derek Clark, MD, MS WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY? Concussions are becoming better recognized because they are widely covered in the media. This is because researchers are collecting strong proof about how a concussion changes brain function. Experts now have information on long-lasting problems from repeated concussions. In addition, there can be shortterm problems from only one concussio...
متن کاملCritical analysis of cerebrovascular autoregulation during repeated head-up tilt.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebrovascular autoregulation has been described with a phase lead of cerebral blood flow preceding changes in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), but there has been less focus on the effect of CPP on cerebral vascular resistance. We investigated these relations during spontaneous fluctuations (control) and repeated head-up tilt. METHODS Eight healthy adults were studie...
متن کاملAssessing the enduring residual neuropsychological effects of head trauma in college athletes who participate in contact sports.
The present study examined the enduring residual neuropsychological effects of head trauma in college athletes using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), Postconcussion Syndrome Checklist, and the Stroop task. Based on a brief self-report concussion history survey, male and female athletes who participated in ice hockey, field hockey, lacrosse, and/or ...
متن کاملIschemic stroke following mild head injury is it the cause.
Recognition of childhood stroke is difficult. Newer diagnostic modalities like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) have made this task much easier. Head trauma usually causes hemorrhage. We are presenting seven cases of mild head injury presenting as ischamic stroke. Neuroimaging suggested infarct involving left basal ganglia and internal capsule in five an...
متن کاملSerum neurofilament light as a biomarker for mild traumatic brain injury in contact sports.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the axonal protein neurofilament light (NFL) in serum is a sensitive biomarker to detect subtle brain injury or concussion in contact sports athletes. METHODS Two prospective cohort studies involving (1) 14 Swedish amateur boxers who underwent fluid biomarker assessments at 7-10 days after bout and after 3 months of rest from boxing and (2) 35 Swedish professiona...
