Setting: Community.
Participants: Fourteen participants with a recent mTBI (Mage = 28.
Objective: Resilience is 1 of several factors that are thought to contribute to outcome following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This study explored the predictors of the postconcussional syndrome (PCS) symptoms that can occur following mTBI. We hypothesized that a reported recent mTBI and lower psychological resilience would predict worse reported PCS symptomatology.

The study included octyl, nonyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, cyclohexyl-propyl, cyclohexyl-hexyl, and dimethyl-heptyl maltopyranoside. The in vitro haemolytic activity was determined by employing a static method in which surfactants are added to an erythrocyte suspension and the released haemoglobin is determined.
