Excited to share our first investigation into behavioral performance (gait) and brain neurochemistry after concussion! We observed slower gait speed is correlated with greater neuroinflammation (myo-inositol) in the PCG. Inga Koerte Dr. Katie Morigaki Breedlove, PhD, LAT pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32881768/

“In mixed-sex cohorts of young adult athletes with persistent post-concussion symptoms and in TBI patients, increased tau aggregation and neuroinflammation are observed at ≥ 6 months post-injury using PET.” #PCS #concussion

It is estimated that 19,000 brain injuries are acquired in Ireland annually. "TBI affects both men and women of all ages, however there is a male bias in TBI research". Investment needed in #BrainInjuryResesarch on treatment across the female lifespan

Whew, after several years and during a pandemic, thrilled to share our RCT findings, now published in @AJSM_SportsMed Primary result: An 8 wk neuromuscular training program after concussion led to a ~3.5X reduced risk of injury over the subsequent year journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Need some help please! I’ve been out of SA media loop for over 7 years now but still receive weekly emails about the gross corruption in SA sport. So, who are the reputable sports journalists in SA that I can share this information with to expose the ongoing corruption? Thanks!

Roger Kerry Check out the authors of this 👇 bjsm.bmj.com/content/55/24/… I believe this is a real game changer in detecting accurately these type of injuries. I can already imagine salivary on field testing in many sports, like rugby, in the next few years 🤞

Is soccer the same for men and women? Same rules, same field. Not the same risk of the same injuries. #Sportskongres2023

This study provides evidence of novel inflammatory pathway genetic associations with concussion severity, which supports the hypothesis implicating neuroinflammation in the development of concussion symptoms. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29509495
