It is proposed that a registry of patients presenting with symptoms and signs after a concussion, as part of a large scale TBI registry across Australia, would provide a starting…

Shortened telomeres and serum protein biomarker abnormalities in collision sport athletes regardless of concussion history and sex

Georgia F. Symons, Meaghan Clough, William T. O’Brien et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Mild brain injuries are frequent in athletes engaging in collision sports and have been linked to a range of long-term neurological abnormalities. There is a need to identify how these potential abnormalities manifest using objective measures; determine whether changes are due to concussive and/or sub-concussive injuries; and examine how biological sex affects outcomes. This study…
