The Medical Emergency Of Otto Warmbier
All that the doctors who treated Cincinnati, Ohio resident Otto Warmbier knew is what they had seen or maybe read in the news. They knew he had just been released on June 13 from imprisonment in North Korea where he had been held by for more than 17 months. He had been sentenced in March 2016 to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly removing a propaganda poster from a wall at a Pyongyang hotel where he had been staying. The University of Virginia honors student had been visiting the authoritarian state during a five-day trip with a group called Young Pioneer Tours, which is a group out of China – an important note. Ot...

High Proportion of Deceased Football Players Found to Have CTE
A postmortem analysis of the brains of 202 former football players from the high-school to the professional level has revealed that 87% of these athletes had neuropathological signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) —a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with repetitive head trauma. Moreover, as reported today inJAMA, all but one of the brains of the former National Football League (NFL) players showed neuropathological signs of the disease.“Nearly all of the former NFL players in this study had CTE pathology, and this pathology was frequently severe,” wrote senior author Ann McKee, M.D., of the...

Biomarkers can reveal traumatic brain injury, even when concussions don ’t show up on CAT scan
FINDINGSUCLA researchers have identified four biomarkers that could help doctors diagnose brain trauma and concussions through a simple blood test. The biomarkers are proteins, from brain cells called astrocytes, which are released instantly into the bloodstream when astrocytes ’ outer membranes rupture from blunt impact or whiplash trauma.BACKGROUNDMild traumatic brain injuries, also called concussions, often go undiagnosed, but they can lead to lasting neurological impairment, especially after repeated occurrences.Currently, doctors use CT scans or a standard scoring system to describe the level of consciousness in a p...

Sensors, Vol. 18, Pages 1022: Non-Invasive Electromagnetic Skin Patch Sensor to Measure Intracranial Fluid –Volume Shifts
This study’s focus was to develop a passive skin patch sensor for the head that would non-invasively measure cranial fluid volume shifts. The sensor consists of a single baseline component configured into a rectangular planar spiral with a self-resonant frequency response when impinged upon by external radio frequency sweeps. Fluid volume changes (10 mL increments) were detected through cranial bone using the sensor on a dry human skull model. Preliminary human tests utilized two sensors to determine feasibility of detecting fluid volume shifts in the complex environment of the human body. The correlation between fluid v...

Jan Medical begins coop BrainPulse testing with the US Army
Jan Medical said today that it has launched a cooperative research and development deal with the US Army Medical Materiel Agency to evaluate its BrainPulse device. Jan Medical’s BrainPulse device is designed to non-invasively capture novel physiological signals through a patient’s cardiac output, used to measure vascular and brain tissue conditions, the company said. The data can be used as an ‘aid to diagnoses’ for multiple indications, including concussion and stroke. Initial testing as part of the R&D program was completed on March 9, with the first user feedback session conducted today, the Mountain View, ...

Study reveals gaps in follow-up care after concussion
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Being discharged from a hospital trauma center after receiving treatment for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) does not necessarily mean that a patient has fully recovered. TBI can lead to long-lasting physical and cognitive symptoms, but a new study in JAMA Network Open suggests that many patients may not be receiving follow-up care.
