Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City, NY 10029, USA.
Introduction: Service academy members are at high risk for concussions as a result of participation in both sports and military-specific training activities. Approximately 17% of active duty service members are female, and they face unique challenges in achieving timely recovery from concussions. Understanding the unique characteristics affecting return to unrestricted activity (RTA) among female service academy members is imperative for the ever-growing proportion of females across the U.

Article Synopsis
- * 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.
Background: The Western Australian Football League (WAFL) introduced a new umpire driven 'blue-card rule' for concussion, but its benefit to the sports medicine team is unknown.
Purpose: To determine the experiences and perceptions of medical staff within the 2022-2023 Men's and Women's WAFL competitions following the introduction of the 'blue-card rule'.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Optimal functioning after early mild traumatic brain injury: Evolution and predictors.
J Int Neuropsychol Soc
November 2024
Department of Psychology, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- Early mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in children can lead to various long-term issues like behavioral changes and cognitive difficulties, but mild cases generally show improvement within a month. This study aims to identify factors that contribute to optimal functioning after mTBI in young children.
- The research involved 190 children aged 18-60 months, grouped into those with mTBI, orthopedic injuries, and typical development. Optimal functioning was defined by the absence of behavioral issues, cognitive difficulties, persisting symptoms, and maintaining a good quality of life.
- Findings indicated that children with mTBI were less likely to achieve optimal functioning over time compared to their peers. Notably, better parent-child interaction and
Canadian CT head rule adherence in a rural hospital without in-house computed tomography.

Department of Research, Queen Victoria Hospital, Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada.
Introduction: We sought to determine the difference between Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR) indicated imaging rates and actual imaging rates for patients with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) at a rural emergency department (ED) without in-house computed tomography (CT). In addition, we compared CCHR adherence at a hospital without CT to previous publications from centres with CT to determine if rural populations receive less CT imaging for minor head traumas when indicated by the CCHR.
Methods: This retrospective chart review explored individuals who presented to a rural ED (no in-house CT scanner) with a primary diagnosis of mild head injury or concussion between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2021.
