Computed Tomography Scan Rates and Outcomes in Children Risk-Stratified Using the PREDICT Guideline Algorithm for Risk Stratification of Mild and Moderate Head Injuries
CONCLUSIONS: The PREDICT Guideline algorithm risk stratifies head injuries into high, intermediate, low, and very low risk patients. Two of the missed lower risk patients required neurosurgery.
Age, power, and sport-related concussion. Is there a tension between sport performance and concussion risk in tackle football?
Sport-related concussion (SRC) poses a barrier to otherwise health-promoting sport participation. Tackle Football (American Football) is a popular sport with an elevated risk of SRC, which prioritises strength and conditioning. The association between physical performance, notably lower body maximal muscle power and concussion rate, is not well understood in youth tackle football. This prospective cohort […]
A Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial of Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often associated with autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation and reduced heart rate variability (HRV), potentially affecting cognition. This study tested whether HRV biofeedback (HRV-B) improved resting HRV and stress recovery in individuals with TBI compared to sham control. We also examined whether HRV changes related to physical symptoms, emotional well-being, […]
Hypothermia therapy enhances cognitive and motor recovery in patients with traumatic brain injury: a 6-month retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: Hypothermia therapy significantly improved cognitive and motor recovery in TBI patients, enhanced consciousness levels, and increased patient satisfaction rate.
Assessing Brain Neurophysiology in COVID-19 Patients With Prolonged Cognitive Fatigue: A Comparison With Persistent Post-concussion Symptoms
CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate that ERP deficits, characteristic of cognitive decline in conditions like concussion, PPCS, and aging, are replicable in long COVID patients. Notably, these electrophysiological abnormalities (reduced P300 amplitude and altered coherence) correlate with quantifiable cognitive fatigue and functional neurological impairments. Biomarker normalization tracked with symptom resolution at follow-up (20 ± 8 months), […]
