Objective: This study compared symptom reporting and cognitive test performance within 72 h of a suspected concussion between high school student-athletes with and without pre-injury self-reported mental health treatment. Methods: Eight hundred seventy-nine high school athletes with (n = 75) and without (n = 804) a self-reported history of treatment for anxiety or depression underwent […]
Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Clinical Core: Infrastructure to facilitate research on post-traumatic Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
We describe the rationale, methodology, and design of the Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (BU ADRC) Clinical Core (CC). The CC characterizes a longitudinal cohort of participants with/without brain trauma to characterize the clinical presentation, biomarker profiles, and risk factors of post-traumatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD), including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Examining for race-associated differences on Sway Medical System balance and cognitive tests used for sport-related concussion
CONCLUSION: The race-associated differences between Black and White student-athletes on Sway Medical System balance and cognitive module scores are generally negligible. The reasons for modest race-associated differences on Memory scores are unknown and future research to examine the possible role or influence of social risk factors and psychosocial factors on module scores is recommended.
Effects of Lifetime Exposure to Sports-Related Head Impacts on Brain Injury and Inflammatory Blood Biomarkers Among Former Middle-Aged Athletes
Repetitive head impacts from contact sports are associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative conditions. While studies have examined acute and chronic outcomes in young and deceased athletes, research on middle-aged former athletes remains limited. We employed multiplex biomarker approaches to examine whether brain injury and systemic inflammatory blood biomarkers are reflective of ≥10 years […]
Pain Management Strategies and Adverse Effects of Opioids in Patients with Neurotrauma with Acute and Chronic Pain
Pain is prevalent and a major source of disability after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a spinal cord injury (SCI). With a view of reducing the pain burden in neurotrauma, this study aimed to describe the use of pain management strategies and the adverse effects of opioids in patients with TBI and SCI. We […]
