Performance and Physiological Response to the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test Can Identify Autonomic Dysfunction in the General Adult Population With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Prospective Observational Study
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that the inability to exercise to a threshold HR of 90% of an individual's age-predicted maximum HR is a better indicator of autonomic dysfunction. HRR may be prolonged in those with a mild TBI, but caution should be taken if attributing this to physiological dysfunction as the predominant factor appears to […]
Adaptive trial for the treatment of depressive symptoms associated with concussion using accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (ADEPT): rationale, design and methods
Military service members (SMs) and veterans who have sustained one or more concussions during their service have significantly higher rates of persistent depressive symptoms and suicidality compared to non-injured peers. Despite over 500,000 SMs who have sustained concussions, there are currently no Level I evidence-based treatments for improving depressive symptoms associated with concussion. Accelerated intermittent […]
Dietary Intake of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Prior to a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Demonstrates a Dose-Response Effect for Neuroprotective Benefits in Male C57BL/6 Mice
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these results show that dietary n-3 PUFA confer neuroprotective benefits in mice resulting in significantly improved functional outcomes. This work is relevant to clinical practitioners, athletes, and the general population who aim to support their neurological health through dietary or supplementary n-3 PUFA.
Differential DNA Methylation of the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Gene is Observed after Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Compared to Orthopedic Injury
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: BDNF DNAm appears to differ in children with TBI vs OI, particularly in the acute period. BDNF DNAm differences may reflect early biological responses that are specific to TBI.
The Experience of Return to Work Among People with Persistent Symptoms Following a Concussion: An Interview Study
