Harmonizing Data Sharing: NIH/NINDS and DOD Sport-Related Concussion Common Data Elements (CDE) Recommendations
To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical research studies and clinical treatment, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)/National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DOD) developed the Sport-Related Concussion (SRC) CDE recommendations to increase data quality, facilitate data sharing across studies, significantly reduce study start-up time, and help educate new clinical investigators.

Mental health disorders common following mild head injury
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) A new study reveals that approximately 1 in 5 individuals may experience mental health symptoms up to six months after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), suggesting the importance of follow-up care for these patients. Scientists also identified factors that may increase the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or major depressive disorder following mild mTBI or concussion through analysis of the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in Traumatic Brain Injury (TRACK-TBI) study cohort.

Pre-injury Comorbidities Are Associated With Functional Impairment and Post-concussive Symptoms at 3- and 6-Months After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A TRACK-TBI Study
Conclusions: Pre-injury psychiatric and pre-injury headache/migraine symptoms are risk factors for worse functional and post-concussive outcomes at 3- and 6-months post-mTBI. mTBI patients presenting to acute care should be evaluated for psychiatric and headache/migraine history, with lower thresholds for providing TBI education/resources, surveillance, and follow-up/referrals. Clinical Trial Registration: www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT01565551. Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In 2013 ~2.8 million TBI cases were recorded an...

The Young Male Syndrome —An Analysis of Sex, Age, Risk Taking and Mortality in Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries
Conclusion The willingness of young males to engage in dangerous situations might be adaptive in terms of fitness maximization. Nonetheless, for some individuals this intense sexual competition can be detrimental to health. The correspondence between the age distribution of the reproductively most active population and those suffering sTBI only partially supports the evolutionary hypothesis about risk-taking behavior. The prevalence of higher external mortality rates of young males, on the other hand, was not present in our data at all, nor did we find any support for the assumption that sTBI acquired from riskier behavio...

The Predictive Capacity of the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test After Sport-Related Concussion in Adolescents
Conclusion This study found that the ΔHR (HRt minus resting HR) correlated with duration of clinical recovery in participants who were prescribed relative rest or a placebo-stretching program but not for participants prescribed sub-threshold aerobic exercise. A ΔHR of ≤50 bpm on the BCTT was 73% sensitive and 78% specific for predicting delayed recovery in concussed adolescents prescribed the current standard of care (i.e., cognitive and physical rest). This has implications for planning team and school activities in adolescents who sustain SRC. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in acco...

Analysis of States' Barriers to and Progress Toward Implementation of Health and Safety Policies for Secondary School Athletics.
CONCLUSIONS: Although a majority of respondents reported progress in implementing health and safety policies in their states, perceived barriers pointed to the need for the continued education of state leaders in charge of developing and implementing health and safety policies. Despite these barriers, collaboration among key stakeholders is crucial to successful implementation of best-practice policies in secondary school athletics.

Measuring Blunt Force Head Impacts in Athletes.
CONCLUSIONS: While these data are useful for preliminary human tolerance limits, a larger population must be used to quantify real-world dose response as a function of impact magnitude, direction, location, and accumulation. This work is ongoing. PMID: 32074346 [PubMed - in process]

Dynavision Normative Data for Healthy Adults: Reaction Test Program.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Occupational therapy practitioners can use the normative standards identified in this study in their assessment of clients with visual and cognitive deficits after a brain injury, stroke, or other neurologic pathology. WHAT THIS ARTICLE ADDS: This study's results can be added to the battery of other common evaluation measures that occupational therapists use to evaluate visual and cognitive deficits after neurological impairments.

The Neuropathology of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy: The Status of the Literature
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713632Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a tauopathy associated with repetitive mild head trauma, including concussion and asymptomatic subconcussive impacts. CTE was first recognized in boxers almost a century ago and has been identified more recently in contact sports athletes, military veterans exposed to blast, and victims of domestic violence. Like most neurodegenerative diseases, CTE is diagnosed conclusively by a neuropathological examination of brain tissue. CTE is characterized by the buildup of hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) in neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), neurites, an...

Brain injury research to focus on moderate concussion
(University of California - Riverside) Viji Santhakumar at the University of California, Riverside, has received funding from the National Institute of Neurological Disaster and Stroke to further pursue research on moderate concussive brain injury, which results from car accidents or sports-related concussions. The more than $2.3 million five-year renewal grant will allow Santhakumar's lab to study how inflammatory responses after brain injury contribute to the creation of abnormally connected neurons, and whether this compromises critical memory processing functions.

Analyzing the Eye Gaze Behaviour of Students and Experienced Physiotherapists during Observational Movement Analysis
Conclusions: Measuring eye gaze behaviour during OMA using eye tracker technology is feasible. Physiotherapists made more fixations of shorter duration than students. Further investigation of how experienced therapists perform OMA and apply it to clinical reasoning may inform the instruction of OMA.PMID:34456422 | PMC:PMC8370730 | DOI:10.3138/ptc-2019-0047
