Neural Analytics lands $3M NIH grant
Neural Analytics landed a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for the diagnostic and monitoring technology it’s developing for traumatic brain injury and stroke, the company reported. The NIH’s Small Business Innovation Research program funded the grant. Los Angeles-based Neural Analytics, founded in 2013, develops technology to measure and track brain health, particularly traumatic brain injury, acute ischemic stroke, and dementia. The company is working on a portable ultrasound headset for athletes at risk of concussion. With the NIH funding, they hope to create a portable device for 1st responder...

The Case Files: Traumatic Carotid Dissection
By Hsiao, Jonie MD   A 30-year-old man who was right-hand dominant presented 10 days after sustaining left-sided face and head trauma from a fall from a skateboard at an unknown speed. He lost consciousness for several seconds, and initially developed a headache with nausea and vomiting. A non-contrast head CT performed at another hospital done two days after the incident was reportedly negative.   He now presents primarily with concerns about the appearance of his left eye. He has notable anisocoria and a droopy eyelid. His left pupil is notably smaller, 2 mm, compared with the right eye, 5 mm. Both are reactive. The re...

“Stroke, mTBI, Infection, Antibiotics and Beta Blockade: Connecting the Dots”
Several themes supported by a robust literature are addressed in this clinical translational review and research paper: 1. the inadequate standard of care for minimal Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) /concussion when compared to stroke because diagnosis and care for mTBI/concussion are based primarily on a symptom only framework; 2. the treatment of stroke(brain injury) with select antibiotics; 3. the use of beta blockade in stroke (brain injury).The various etiologies of brain injury appear to coalesce to common endpoints: potential neuronal demise, cognitive and functional losses, immune suppression and infection.

Wallenberg's Lateral Medullary Syndrome in an Adolescent
Concussion and sports-related injuries are common in children. Given the heightened awareness about concussion in recent years, there has been an increase in the diagnosis of concussion in children presenting to the emergency department with head injuries. Often, little consideration is given to other etiologies of neurologic symptoms such as stroke. This may be due to the fact that stroke is uncommon in children when compared to adults. However, there are several case reports of arterial dissection and stroke in the pediatric age group resulting from trivial trauma.

Isotropic Generalized Diffusion Tensor MRI
Scientists at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) have developed a method implemented as pulse sequences and software to be used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners and systems. This technology is available for licensing and commercial development. The method allows for measuring and mapping features of the bulk or average apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water in tissue – aiding in stroke diagnosis and cancer therapy assessment. The pulse sequences and software enable MRI scanners to yield diffusion weighted images (DWI) that are orientationally ...

Sensors, Vol. 18, Pages 3397: Multiple-Wearable-Sensor-Based Gait Classification and Analysis in Patients with Neurological Disorders
Kuan-Nien Chou The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the placement of multiple wearable sensors for the purpose of analyzing and classifying the gaits of patients with neurological disorders. Seven inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors were placed at seven locations: the lower back (L5) and both sides of the thigh, distal tibia (shank), and foot. The 20 subjects selected to participate in this study were separated into two groups: stroke patients (11) and patients with neurological disorders other than stroke (brain concussion, spinal injury, or brain hemorrhage) (9). The temporal paramete...

No proof heading footballs causes brain damage
Conclusion Overall, this research provides no evidence that there is a direct cause and effect between repeated heading of a football and traumatic brain injury. However, there are several important limitations to this study that are worth noting. One-off tests and scans of players The people in the study only had brain images and neurological tests at one point in time, and were asked about heading in the previous year and if they had any concussions in their lifetime. Without having the imaging and neurological tests prior to the year in question – or preferably in early periods of life, before they started playing f...

Spectrum of Neurological Disorders Among 19th Century and Early to Mid-20th Century United States Presidents (P6.334)
Conclusion: Neurological conditions are common among presidents of the United States and sometimes have led to catastrophic events. These conditions also had a significant effect on their careers as well as the course of history. Recognizing and understanding the effects of these conditions on past presidency will lead to better management of the tenure of upcoming presidents.Disclosure: Dr. Govindarajan has nothing to disclose.

Study finds worsening outcomes in service members five years after mild blast-induced concussion
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) According to a new study in JAMA Neurology, US military service members who endured a mild concussion after blast injury while deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan may continue to experience mental health symptoms as well as decreases in quality of life for at least five years after their injury. The study was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the Department of Defense. NINDS is part of the National Institutes of Health.

Neural Analytics launches study of transcranial doppler for evaluating mild-TBI
Neural Analytics said today it enrolled the 1st patient in a 2-year study exploring the use of its Lucid M1 transcranial doppler ultrasound system to evaluate cerebral blood flow in patients with mild traumatic brain injuries. The Lucid M1 system is a portable all-in-one ultrasound system designed for measuring and displaying cerebral blood flow velocities in patients with brain disorders, the Los Angeles, Calif.-based company said. In the 240-patient trial, researchers at the University of California Los Angeles will examine high school and college age enrollees in 3 separate groups, including those who have been affected...

CNS Summit 2017 Abstracts of Poster Presentations
Conclusion: This novel technology discriminates and quantifies subtle differences in behavior and neurological impairments in subjects afflicted with neurological injury/disease. KINARM assessments can be incorporated into multi-center trials (e.g., monitoring stroke motor recovery: NCT02928393). Further studies will determine if KINARM Labs can demonstrate a clinical effect with fewer subjects over a shorter trial period. Disclosures/funding: Dr. Stephen Scott is the inventor of KINARM and CSO of BKIN Technologies.   Multiplexed mass spectrometry assay identifies neurodegeneration biomarkers in CSF Presenter: Chelsky...

The Potential of Telemedicine to Improve Pediatric Concussion Care in Rural and Remote Communities in Canada
Concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury that affects thousands of Canadian children and adolescents annually. Despite national efforts to harmonize the recognition and management of pediatric concussion in Canada, timely access to primary and specialized care following this injury remains a challenge for many patients especially those who live in rural and remote communities. To address similar challenges facing patients with stroke and other neurological disorders, physicians have begun to leverage advances in telemedicine to improve the delivery of specialized neurological care to those living in medically un...
