abstract = {Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are clinically grouped by severity: mild, moderate and severe. Mild TBI (the least severe form) is synonymous with concussion and is typically caused by blunt non-penetrating head trauma. The trauma causes stretching and tearing of axons, which leads to diffuse axonal injury-the best-studied pathogenetic mechanism of this disorder. However, mild TBI is defined on clinical grounds and no well-validated imaging or fluid biomarkers to determine the presence of neuronal damage in patients with mild TBI is available. Most patients with mild TBI will recover quickly, but others report persistent symptoms, called post-concussive syndrome, the underlying pathophysiology of which is largely unknown. Repeated concussive and subconcussive head injuries have been linked to the neurodegenerative condition chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which has been reported post-mortem in contact sports athletes and soldiers exposed to blasts. Insights from severe injuries and CTE plausibly shed light on the underlying cellular and molecular processes involved in mild TBI. MRI techniques and blood tests for axonal proteins to identify and grade axonal injury, in addition to PET for tau pathology, show promise as tools to explore CTE pathophysiology in longitudinal clinical studies, and might be developed into diagnostic tools for CTE. Given that CTE is attributed to repeated head trauma, prevention might be possible through rule changes by sports organizations and legislators. © 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature.},

Yousif, Xinh P. Donahue, Joshua Krier, Lydia J. Rayes, Rachel Young, Muareen Lilla, Rochelle Mazurek, Kristie Hittle, Charles McCloskey, Saroj Misra and Michael K. Shaw (Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2015[Sep][15], Vol 356[1-2], 97-101). In the original article, there was an error in the third paragraph. The sentence originally read 'The test subject reads a series of numbers in right-to-left and up-to-down order on three test cards.' This should read: 'The test subject reads a series of numbers in left-to-right and up-to-down order on three test cards.' The correction is present in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2015-27894-001[/rid]). Objective: Concussion is the most common type of traumatic brain injury, and results from impact or impulsive forces to the head, neck or face. Due to the variability and subtlety of symptoms, concussions may go unrecognized or be ignored, especially with the pressure placed on athletes to return to competition. The King\textendashDevick (KD) test, an oculomotor test originally designed for reading evaluation, was recently validated as a concussion screening tool in collegiate athletes. A prospective study was performed using high school football players in an attempt to study the KD as a concussion screening tool in this younger population. Methods: 343 athletes from four local high school football teams were recruited to participate. These athletes were given baseline KD tests prior to competition. Individual demographic information was collected on the subjects. Standard team protocol was employed to determine if a concussion had occurred during competition. Immediately after diagnosis, the KD test was re-administered to the concussed athlete for comparison to baseline. Post-season testing was also performed in non-concussed individuals. Results: Of the 343 athletes, nine were diagnosed with concussions. In all concussed players, cumulative read times for the KD test were significantly increased (p \< 0.001). Post-season testing of non-concussed athletes revealed minimal change in read times relative to baseline. Univariate analysis revealed that history of concussion was the only demographic factor predictive of concussion in this cohort. Conclusion: The KD test is an accurate and easily administered sideline screening tool for concussion in adolescent football players. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)},

Yousif, Xinh P. Donahue, Joshua Krier, Lydia J. Rayes, Rachel Young, Muareen Lilla, Rochelle Mazurek, Kristie Hittle, Charles McCloskey, Saroj Misra and Michael K. Shaw (Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2015[Sep][15], Vol 356[1-2], 97-101). In the original article, there was an error in the third paragraph. The sentence originally read 'The test subject reads a series of numbers in right-to-left and up-to-down order on three test cards.' This should read: 'The test subject reads a series of numbers in left-to-right and up-to-down order on three test cards.' The correction is present in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2015-27894-001[/rid]). Objective: Concussion is the most common type of traumatic brain injury, and results from impact or impulsive forces to the head, neck or face. Due to the variability and subtlety of symptoms, concussions may go unrecognized or be ignored, especially with the pressure placed on athletes to return to competition. The King\textendashDevick (KD) test, an oculomotor test originally designed for reading evaluation, was recently validated as a concussion screening tool in collegiate athletes. A prospective study was performed using high school football players in an attempt to study the KD as a concussion screening tool in this younger population. Methods: 343 athletes from four local high school football teams were recruited to participate. These athletes were given baseline KD tests prior to competition. Individual demographic information was collected on the subjects. Standard team protocol was employed to determine if a concussion had occurred during competition. Immediately after diagnosis, the KD test was re-administered to the concussed athlete for comparison to baseline. Post-season testing was also performed in non-concussed individuals. Results: Of the 343 athletes, nine were diagnosed with concussions. In all concussed players, cumulative read times for the KD test were significantly increased (p \< 0.001). Post-season testing of non-concussed athletes revealed minimal change in read times relative to baseline. Univariate analysis revealed that history of concussion was the only demographic factor predictive of concussion in this cohort. Conclusion: The KD test is an accurate and easily administered sideline screening tool for concussion in adolescent football players. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)},
