Comparing Single-Site Fractures with Multisite Injuries in Pediatric Skiers and Snowboarders
Introduction-The purpose of this study was to evaluate pediatric skiing and snowboarding fracture injuries at a large ski resort, comparing injury patterns in those who sustained fracture injuries at a single site against those with injuries in multiple sites. Given the more serious nature of multisite injuries, this information may give healthcare providers insight into […]
Impacts of traumatic brain injury severity and sex on sleep architecture, duration, and fragmentation
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently associated with acute and chronic disturbances in sleep architecture. However, the extent to which injury severity and biological sex influence post-traumatic sleep patterns remains underexplored in preclinical models. Here, we used a validated, noninvasive piezoelectric monitoring system to assess sleep in male and female mice following sham (n = […]
Protocol of a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial of an 18-month, home-based, high-intensity, exercise intervention in older, cognitively unimpaired <em>APOE</em> ε4 carriers
CONCLUSION: Successful demonstration of a scalable, home-based, high-intensity aerobic exercise intervention in altering the trajectory of AD pathophysiology and its effects on cognitive functioning will transform AD treatment, improve patient outcomes and quality of life, and reduce healthcare costs.
Insomnia symptoms amongst those with acute post-traumatic headache attributed to mild traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with APTH have more symptoms of insomnia compared to HC with 38% of individuals with APTH experiencing moderate or severe insomnia symptoms. Insomnia symptoms may be associated with more severe depression, anxiety, photophobia, hyperacusis, headache severity, and cognitive impairment. To address the overall well-being of patients with APTH, clinicians should screen for and […]
GFAP/UCH-L1 as a Biomarker for Rapid Assessment of Mild TBI in Emergency Departments
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of mortality and disability in Western countries. The diagnosis of TBI mainly involves computed tomography (CT), and Glasgow Coma Scale assessment. As frequent use of CT is associated with excessive radiation exposure, discovery of a biomarker for TBI could reduce unnecessary head CT scans. Thus, the […]
