OBJECT This study directly compares the number and severity of subconcussive head impacts sustained during helmet-only practices, shell full-pad competitive games in a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I-A football team. The goal was to determine whether impact collegiate athletes varies with practice type, which is currently unregulated by NCAA. METHODS Over an entire season, cohort 20 players wore impact-sensing mastoid patches that measured linear rotational...
While epilepsy studies rarely examine brainstem, we sought to the hypothesis that temporal lobe (TLE) leads subcortical arousal center dysfunction, contributing neocortical connectivity and neurocognitive disturbances.In this case-control study of 26 adult patients with TLE controls, used MRI measure structural functional cuneiform/subcuneiform nuclei (CSC), pedunculopontine nucleus, ventral tegmental area. Ascending reticular activating system patterns were related neuropsychological...
As concerns about head impact in American football have grown, similar started to extend other sports thought experience less impact, such as soccer and lacrosse. However, the amount of experienced lacrosse is relatively unknown, particularly compared with substantial data from football. This pilot study quantifies compares four different types teams: college football, high school soccer, During 2013 2014 seasons, 61 players wore mastoid patch accelerometers quantify during official athletic...
The effects of head impact in sports are growing interest for clinicians, scientists, and athletes. Soccer is the most popular sport worldwide, but burden collegiate soccer still unknown.To quantify associated with practicing playing using wearable accelerometers.Descriptive epidemiological study.Mastoid patch accelerometers were used to soccer, examining differences as a function sex event type (practice vs game). Seven female 14 male players wore mastoid that measured impacts during team...
Background: Concussion and repetitive head impact in sports has increased interest concern for clinicians, scientists, athletes. Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport United States, but burden of lacrosse unknown. Purpose: The goal this pilot study was to quantify associated with practicing playing collegiate while subjects were fitted wearable accelerometers. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: In a single year, cohort 14 women’s 15 men’s players wore mastoid-patch...
Amid the public health controversy surrounding American football, a helmet that can reduce linear and rotational acceleration has potential to decrease forces transmitted brain. The authors hypothesized football with an outer shell would both acceleration. authors' objectives were 1) determine optimal material for shock-absorbing 2) examine ability of and/or
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> The purpose of the study is to characterize diffusion tensor imaging indices in developing spinal cord, evaluating differences based on age and cord region. Describing progression DTI pediatric increases our understanding development. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> A retrospective analysis was performed acquired 121 patients (mean, 8.6 years; range, 0.3–18.0 years) at Monroe Carell Jr. Children9s Hospital Vanderbilt from 2017 2018. Diffusion-weighted images (15...
Quantitative imaging of the human spinal cord may provide information for diagnosis and prognosis multiple pathologies. Diffusion tensor (DTI) in pediatric populations offer quantitative indices to assess pathologies such as Chiari I malformation, dysraphic defects including myelomeningocele, tethered cord. We obtained DTI spine 19 patients at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. 14 were identified normal, 5 diagnosed with neurological disorders localized cord, I, an intra-spinal tumor. The ages...
