Riding at Risk: The Lifesaving Role of Helmets for Motorcycle Pillion Riders
CONCLUSION: Pillion riders sustain serious TBIs comparable to or more severe than riders. The mortality rate is substantial, particularly among those not wearing helmets. Mandatory helmet use for pillion riders could significantly reduce mortality and injury severity. Further comparative studies between riders and pillion riders are warranted to better understand injury patterns and develop targeted […]

Ryanodex Reduces Persistent Hippocampal Effects of Single Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects millions of individuals annually, with a 53% increase in emergency visits since 2006. Despite its prevalence, no FDA-approved treatments exist to mitigate brain damage or promote recovery. While repeated TBI is widely studied, even a single impact can cause persistent neurological changes, likely mediated by Ca^(2+) dysregulation via effects on […]
Exploring Speech Biosignatures for Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurodegeneration: Pilot Machine Learning Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the potential of speech features as biomarkers for neurodegenerative conditions. The PaTaKa test exhibited strong discriminative ability, especially for concussed versus neurodegenerative and concussed versus healthy tasks, whereas challenges remain for neurodegenerative versus healthy classification. These findings emphasize the need for further exploration of speech-based tools for differential diagnosis and early […]
Evaluation of rule changes affecting head contact in North American professional ice hockey using video review of head impact frequency and magnitude between 2003-04 and 2016-17 seasons
Ice hockey is a sport with a high incidence of concussion, but growing attention has been placed on the broader exposure to head impacts, regardless of clinical symptoms, due to their potential cumulative effects. While player education, protective equipment, and rule modifications have been introduced to reduce head impact risk, the effect of rule changes […]
