Article Synopsis
  • This study examined how playing multiple seasons of rugby affects serum S100B levels in male professional players and the acute impact of concussion on these levels.
  • Researchers collected blood samples during different seasons of play and after concussions to measure S100B concentrations using an ELISA assay.
  • The results showed that while S100B levels remained stable across seasons, they significantly increased immediately after concussions, but returned to pre-season levels by the end of the season, suggesting S100B could be a valuable tool in managing sports-related concussions.

Our goal was to explore whether there is heterogeneity in IV antihypertensives' effect on AKI incidence among patients who develop sHTN during hospitalization.
