Admission blood glucose and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio for differentiating CT-positive from CT-negative mild traumatic brain injury
This study aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of routine laboratory biomarkers in adults with mTBI. We conducted a prospective study of patients who were admitted to the neurosurgical department with mTBI, had admission laboratory data available, and a brain CT scan was performed. The cohort included 101 patients (mean age: 59 ± 23.14 years). […]
Bidirectional Relationship Between Mental Health and Sports Injury in Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: We found evidence for a bidirectional relationship between sports injuries and mental health in adolescent athletes. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Early interventions focusing on supporting mental health after sports injury, and addressing pre-existing mental health issues to reduce the risk of subsequent injury, should be tailored towards […]
Does Timing of Concussion in Season Affect Incidence and Recovery in Division I Collegiate Football Players? A CARE Consortium Study
CONCLUSIONS: In a multi-institution cohort of collegiate football players, preseason resulted in the highest incidence of concussions, while early and late-season concussions had significantly longer time to SR compared to preseason. These temporal patterns suggest that contextual factors may influence concussion outcomes and warrant mechanistic investigation to inform future management strategies.
Ultra-high contrast MRI of the brain and spinal cord using directly acquired and synthetic BipoLAr Inversion Recovery (BLAIR) images
Ultra-high contrast (UHC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a term used to describe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging that shows abnormalities with high contrast when little or no abnormality is seen on common conventional state-of-the-art MR images. It is achieved without the use of increased static or gradient magnetic fields. UHC can be accomplished by using […]
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Music Therapy for Concussion: A Case Report
Effective treatments for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are limited and are insufficient to address patient symptoms and recovery. We report a case of an mTBI patient with debilitating visual symptoms who experienced profound symptom relief and increased functional capacity after music therapy (MT) (passive listening to specific music pieces). After other mTBI patients reported […]
