Longitudinal neurocognitive outcomes in children with mild traumatic brain injury: An ABCD cohort analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The findings highlight the importance of accounting for pre-injury differences when evaluating neurocognitive outcomes following pediatric mTBI. Neurocognitive differences within a year post-injury may be more related to pre-existing individual factors rather than the injury itself, underscoring the need for a comprehensive approach in studying pediatric mTBI.
Fear Avoidance after Concussion Tool (FACT): patient-reported outcome measure development and content validation
CONCLUSION: The FACT has been developed to evaluate fear avoidance behaviour following concussion and has content validity. Future research should evaluate other measurement properties before implementation.
Bidirectional Interplay Between Traumatic Brain Injury and Cardiovascular Dysfunction in Athletes
Sports-associated traumatic brain injury is emerging as an under-recognized driver of acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases. Larger population-based studies show that individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury experience up to a two-fold excess risk of incident hypertension, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke that persists for at least a decade. Among former professional American-style […]
Objective Markers for Diagnosing Concussions: Beyond Blood Biomarkers and the Role of Real-Time Diagnostic Tools
Concussions, classified as a type of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), are frequently underdiagnosed due to the subjective nature of symptoms and limitations in existing diagnostic methodologies. Current clinical evaluations, including tools such as the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5 (SCAT5), Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), and Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS), demonstrate high sensitivity […]
Microglia depletion improves hippocampal circuit function after mild traumatic brain injury in male mice
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects over 69 million people every year, and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) accounts for 70-90 % of cases. TBI has two components: i) primary injury - direct damage to the tissue from the mechanical impact and ii) secondary injury - additional or extended damage to the tissue from the ensuing […]
