Clinical Cut Point for the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index After Adolescent Concussion
CONCLUSION: Adolescents with a concussion demonstrated worse sleep quality than uninjured controls. The results suggest that sleep quality, as measured by the PSQI, can distinguish between adolescents with and without a concussion, using a cut point of 4.
Single-Quantum Sodium MRI at 3T for the Separation of Mono- and Bi-T2 Sodium Signals
Sodium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly sensitive to cellular ionic balance due to tenfold difference in sodium concentration across membranes, actively maintained by the sodium-potassium (Na ^(+) -K ^(+) ) pump. Disruptions in this pump or membrane integrity, as seen in neurological disorders like epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disease, and mild traumatic brain injury, […]
Effects of Subanesthetic Intravenous Ketamine Infusion on Stress Hormones and Synaptic Density in Rats with Mild Closed-Head Injury
Background: Every year, over 40 million people sustain mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) which affects the glucocorticoid stress pathway and synaptic plasticity. Ketamine, a multimodal dissociative anesthetic, modulates the stress pathway and synaptic plasticity. However, the effects of post-mTBI ketamine administration on plasma stress hormones and brain synaptic plasticity are largely unknown. Methods: Adult male […]
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.
