Latest guidelines for mild traumatic brain injury assessment
Mild traumatic brain injury, commonly known as concussion, involves subtle yet significant disruptions to brain function following external force. Updated clinical guidelines emphasise structured evaluation, recognising that symptoms may be transient but complex. Diagnosis relies heavily on clinical assessment rather than imaging, with emerging tools supporting decision-making. Careful follow-up, patient education, and graduated return-to-activity protocols are essential to promote recovery and prevent complications, reflecting an evolving, patient-centred approach to this heterogeneous condition.

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor as a late-stage treatment for delayed white matter loss in concussive head injury
BACKGROUND: Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) is an injury-induced cytokine that peaks 48 hours after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Juvenile LIF haplodeficient mice exhibit desynchronized glial responses, increased neurodegeneration, decreased axonal conductivity and behavioral deficits after a concussive head injury. Given the necessity of LIF during the acute recovery phase after injury, we hypothesized that […]
Role of anxiety in exercise intolerance and autonomic nervous system dysfunction post-concussion
CONCLUSIONS: Adults with pre-existing and post-injury anxiety experienced altered physiological responses to exercise post-concussion and completed fewer stages of the BCBT. Anxiety should be considered by clinicians when interpreting findings from exercise intolerance tests such as the BCBT.
Equestrian STAR: Development of an Experimental Methodology for Assessing the Biomechanical Performance of Equestrian Helmets
CONCLUSION: Pendulum and oblique impacts have different methods of generating head rotation, which can highlight different modes of helmet performance. The updated Equestrian STAR helmet rating system differentiates between high-performing and low-performing helmets, enabling equestrians to purchase helmets best at reducing concussion risk and providing companies with a process to compare their helmet designs.
Computational Modelling of Protected and Unprotected Head Impacts in Rugby
This study involved the simulation of five real-world head impact events in rugby, to assess the level of protection provided by a novel foam headguard, the N-Pro. The University College Dublin Brain Trauma Model (UCDBTM) was used to estimate the peak resultant head accelerations and brain tissue responses in different head impact scenarios. The input […]
Computed Tomography Findings of Children Under 3 Years of Age with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and No Neurological Focal Signs
Background/Objectives: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a leading cause of pediatric emergency department visits, particularly among children under three years old. Although computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for diagnosing intracranial injuries, its use in young children poses radiation risks. Identifying reliable clinical indicators that justify CT imaging is essential for optimizing both […]
