Differential Neuroendocrine Responses and Dysregulation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Following Repeated Mild Concussive Impacts and Blast Exposures in a Rat Model
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant public health concern, particularly among military personnel and contact sport athletes who are frequently exposed to repeated blast overpressure waves and mild concussive impacts, respectively. While moderate and severe TBIs have been extensively studied, the long-term neuroendocrine consequences of mild, repetitive brain trauma are poorly understood. In this […]
Collision Course: A Decade of Traumatic Brain Injury Trends and the Impact of Urban Safety Initiatives in Eastern Massachusetts
Background/Objectives: Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) account for over a third of all injury-related deaths, predominantly due to motor vehicle collisions (MVC). This study provides a comprehensive analysis of TBI trends in Eastern Massachusetts, focusing on injuries resulting from motorcycle MVCs (mMVC), non-motorcycle MVCs (nmMVC), and pedestrian-vehicle strikes (PVS). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on […]
The interaction between neck pain and known determinates of delayed return to play among NCAA student-athletes: a CARE consortium study

Triamcinolone-loaded nanocarriers: a novel strategy to mitigate cognitive and emotional sequelae induced by traumatic brain injury via modulation of oxidative stress
INTRODUCTION: Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability in individuals under 40 years old. It induces various neuropathological outcomes, including cognitive, emotional, and physiological deficits, likely linked to early neuroinflammatory processes. In an animal model, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has been shown to elevate oxidative stress biomarkers, such as advanced […]
