Vestibular/ocular motor provocation and state anxiety are both independently linked to poor recovery outcomes following concussion. However, the relationship between these two clinical presentations and their co-occurring effects on concussion recovery outcomes is understudied. The purpose was to examine the co-occurring effects of vestibular/ocular motor provocation and state anxiety following concussion.

- * A study analyzed 174,878 student-athletes to assess the frequency of low scores on a concussion management test (ImPACT) for those with self-reported ADHD and/or LD, comparing them to a control group without these disorders.
- * Results indicated that student-athletes with LD frequently scored low on the ImPACT (30-37%) and those with both ADHD and LD also showed significant low scoring rates (24-31%), highlighting the need for better understanding of these conditions in concussion assessments.
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are the leading delivery vehicle used for gene therapies. Anti-AAV antibodies (AAV Abs) can interact with the viral capsid component of an AAV-based gene therapy (GT). Therefore, patients with preexisting AAV Abs (seropositive patients) are often excluded from GT trials to prevent treatment of patients who are unlikely to benefit or may have a higher risk for adverse events outweighing treatment benefits.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study which included 26 eyes in the SO Group and 32 in the Gas Group. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans of the affected eyes were obtained before surgery, and 3 months after PPV in the Gas Group, and during silicone oil in situ and 3 months after SO removal, in the SO Group.
Neurocognitive Concussion Test Performance for Student Athletes on the Autism Spectrum.
Arch Clin Neuropsychol
July 2024
Objective: To examine baseline neurocognitive functioning among adolescent athletes on the autism spectrum based on self-reported level of academic performance.
Method: Participants in this cross-sectional, observational study were 6,441 adolescent athletes with a self-reported diagnosis of autism who completed pre-season neurocognitive testing using Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT); 4,742 reported a co-occurring learning disorder (LD), and 6,612 individuals without autism or LD were included as a control group. The majority (57%) self-reported Average Academic Performance, 39% Above Average, and 4% Below Average performance.
