Pediatric concussion characteristics differ based on age
CONCLUSIONS: The results build on previous studies showing that younger pediatric patients sustain concussions mostly from non-sports mechanisms and endorse fewer symptoms which could be due to lower severity of injury and/or primarily relying on parent reporting of observable concussion symptoms. Pediatric concussion mechanism and presentation differ across ages, emphasizing the importance of age-appropriate symptom […]
Glymphatic system and mild traumatic brain injury: a mini review
Since the discovery of the glymphatic system in 2012, research on this brain-wide fluid exchange pathway has focused on understanding its role in different neurological diseases. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a prevalent, yet often undiagnosed, condition that increases the risk of developing debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. mTBI may lead to impaired glymphatic system function […]
Subtle ocular motor deficits in people with chronic whiplash associated disorder compared to healthy controls
INTRODUCTION: More than 50% of people who are diagnosed with whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) will report symptoms 12 months and beyond after their initial onset. However, many signs and symptoms, such as dizziness, emotional lability, confusion, ocular movement abnormalities, and balance deficits, may not be directly attributed to the cervical spine and may be more consistent […]
Symptom burden in the first four years following hospitalization after mild traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should be alert to the long-term presence of multiple symptoms following hospitalization after mTBI, as these affect a significant proportion of individuals and are associated with poorer outcomes.
Neither American Football Playing Position Nor Total Years Playing Football Are Associated with Neurobehavioral Health Outcomes: An NFL-LONG Study
Years playing American football and primary playing position are often used to estimate concussion exposure. We examined associations between playing position and total years played with concussion history and neurobehavioral outcomes among former (N = 1544) National Football League players in the NFL-LONG study. Outcomes included the PROMIS Cognitive, Depression, and Anxiety T-scores, and Neuro-QOL […]
