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.

Background: Youth concussion is common but there is a paucity of information on symptoms students report to school personnel and a gap in understanding what accommodations schools can provide.

Objective: To examine symptoms and provision of temporary accommodations in schools for students reporting concussion symptoms.

Design: Secondary data analysis of a trial implementing an evidence-based student-centered return to learn (RTL) program.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how vitamin D and memantine influence recovery in juvenile rats following repetitive brain injuries (rTBI) and to explore the mechanisms behind these effects.
  • Juvenile rats were divided into seven groups receiving different treatments, including sham surgery, trauma alone, and various combinations of memantine and vitamin D before or after trauma, with analyses conducted on brain tissues and blood samples to assess injury markers.
  • Results showed that trauma increased injury markers, but combination treatments using both vitamin D and memantine yielded the most significant therapeutic effects, particularly in group receiving both supplements before and after the injury.

A direct punch with a clenched fist to the face most often results in soft tissue damage, which is usually not serious enough to be considered a severe health impairment. This article presents two cases in which a single punch to the orbital region led to a blowout fracture. The first case resulted in additional displacement of the right lens into the vitreous body, secondary glaucoma and retinal detachment.

Article Synopsis
  • Transient apical breakdown (TAB) is a temporary type of dental injury seen after tooth luxation, indicating root damage and subsequent healing, affecting about 4.2% of such injuries, according to a 1986 study.
  • This retrospective study analyzed data from 56 mature teeth of 49 patients aged 9-30 over 10 years to assess the incidence and healing of TAB after different types of dental luxation injuries.
  • Results showed high rates of TAB occurrence in various luxation injuries (subluxation 43.8%, extrusive 62.5%, lateral 75%), suggesting that mild injuries may heal spontaneously, allowing for delayed endodontic treatment until infection signs
