Advances in Circulating Biomarkers for Neurodegenerative Diseases, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and Central Nervous System Tumors
Neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and central nervous system (CNS) tumors, are complex conditions that significantly impact patients globally. Timely diagnosis and monitoring are critical for improving outcomes, driving the need for reliable biomarkers. Specifically, biomarkers detectable in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood offer important insights into disease presence and progression. […]
Factors Associated With Persisting Symptoms After Concussion in Adults With Mild TBI: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, acute cognitive symptoms, medical history of anxiety and/or depression or of sleep disorders, and the presence of clinical signs (loss of consciousness and amnesia) were the factors associated with greatest odds of PSAC in adults across all time points. The findings suggest that evaluating specific acute […]
Post-Concussion Symptoms in Older Adults Following a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSION: Our results identified patient characteristics associated with PPCS that can be easily recognized in the ED, such as patient sex, the use of at least 3 different medications and the presence of cervical sprain. Early identification of older adults at higher risk of PPCS is important to optimize care and guide post-ED management.
Nightly Sleep Duration and Symptom Burden Over 1 Month Following Pediatric Concussion
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this observational study of adolescents, average nightly sleep durations beyond 9.9 hours over the first 2 weeks of concussion recovery were associated with high symptom burden and persistent symptoms. Clinicians should monitor youths' sleep after concussions.
Distinct symptom recoveries based upon highest level of care in patients with sport-related concussion or traumatic brain injury and Glasgow Coma Scale 13-15
There are limited data directly comparing recovery across traumatic brain injury subpopulations. We compared symptom recovery profiles between patients with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 13-15 traumatic brain injury (TBI) from the same region in three cohorts: (1) Participants with sport-related concussion (SRC), (2) participants evaluated and discharged from the level 1 trauma center emergency department […]
