Washington [US], October 5 (ANI): A new study examines the brains of college football players to determine the levels of traumatic brain injury (TBI) biomarkers by position. The study throws light on which positions are most sensitive to increases in brain damage indicators. Biomarkers are proteins and other chemicals that are released from the injured brain.
Washington [US], September 19 (ANI): According to new research from Children's National Hospital, a type of brain cell that can renew itself is regulated by circadian rhythms, providing significant insights into how the body's internal clock may promote healing after traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
Washington [US], September 14 (ANI): Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience have found that kids who experience a traumatic brain injury (TBI), even a mild one, have more emotional and behavioural problems than kids who do not.
Washington [US], August 21 (ANI): A study finds that blood tests taken on the day of a traumatic brain injury can predict which patients are likely to die or survive with severe disability, allowing clinicians to make decisions earlier on the possible treatment of TBI. Higher values of two protein biomarkers, GFAP and UCH-L1, are associated with death and severe injury.
