Updated Review of Neurologic Concussion Biomarkers for Time-sensitive Point-of-care Testing
As traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) continue to rise annually, scientists are continuing to improve point-of-care (POC) testing, involved in TBI diagnosis. TBIs, having various levels of severity, are often misdiagnosed or overlooked, especially in acute mild TBI or concussion scenarios. At the POC, currently, medical professionals utilize neuroimaging, cognitive scales, and biomarker assays to diagnose […]
Long-Term Neuropsychological Outcome and Effect of Cognitive Reserve in Retired Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: A history of concussion is associated with lower neuropsychological performance, and this is more pronounced in individuals with lower premorbid functioning, an indicator of cognitive reserve.
Differences in Reaction Time Variability on the Senaptec Sensory Station by Concussion Status in Special Operations Forces Service Members
CONCLUSIONS: Reaction time variability as measured by IIV from the Senaptec Sensory Station's EHC subtest is somewhat sensitive to recent concussions, particularly for peripherally presented stimuli. This is consistent with past research evaluating IIV from a different computerized cognitive platform. Methodological differences between this and past investigations, such as time since injury, study population, and […]
Vulnerability factors for pediatric disorders of gut-brain interaction and implications for functional impairment
CONCLUSIONS: Results support the biopsychosocial model suggesting that patients with p-DGBI are inherently susceptible to developing chronic pain due to biologic vulnerabilities and environmental factors. While infections remain the most reported trigger of p-DGBI symptoms, this study newly identifies other triggers. The association of increased number of vulnerability factors with worse functioning raises the question […]
Childhood Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is Reliably Associated with Anxiety but Not Other Examined Psychiatric Outcomes at Two-Year Follow-up, After Adjusting for Prior Mental Health
CONCLUSIONS: Consistent evidence supporting an association between paediatric mTBI and subsequent anxiety was found; however, similar associations were not observed for other mental health outcomes. Regardless of potential causality, children with mTBI are likely to present with high levels of mental health difficulties, and this remains an important comorbidity that clinicians should be aware of.
