Objective: To evaluate changes in serum biomarker concentrations (β-amyloid peptide 42 [Aβ], total tau, ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolyzing enzyme L1, S100 calcium binding protein B [S100B], glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP], microtubule associated protein 2 [MAP2], and 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase [CNPase]) after sport-related concussion (SRC) in a sample of collegiate athletes. Associations with clinical outcomes were also investigated.
Methods: Participants in this case-control study included 36 athletes (50% male, 61% white, aged 19.
Objective: To examine the effect of concussion history and cumulative exposure to collision sports on baseline serum biomarker concentrations, as well as associations between biomarker concentrations and clinical assessments.
Methods: In this observational cohort study, β-amyloid peptide 42 (Aβ), total tau, S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B), ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolyzing enzyme L1 (UCH-L1), glial fibrillary acidic protein, microtubule associated protein 2, and 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase serum concentrations were measured in 415 (61% male, 40% white, aged 19.0 ± 1.
Background: A patient with a suspected cervical spine injury may be at risk for secondary neurologic injury when initially placed and repositioned to the center of the spine board.
Objectives: We sought to determine which centering adjustment best limits cervical spine movement and minimizes the chance for secondary injury.
Methods: Using five lightly embalmed cadaveric specimens with a created global instability at C5-C6, motion sensors were anchored to the anterior surface of the vertebral bodies.
