1 Impact Assessment The assessment of impact characteristics related to suspected concussions in elite Gaelic football and hurling involves a comprehensive evaluation of the forces and circumstances surrounding head injuries during gameplay. This analysis is crucial for understanding how different types of impacts contribute to the risk of concussion among players. The methodology typically includes…
2 Fair Principles and Their Importance The FAIR principles encompass a set of guidelines aimed at enhancing the accessibility and usability of scientific data. The acronym FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Each principle plays a critical role in making data not only available but also functional for researchers and the wider scientific…
2 Study Overview The study investigates how symptom patterns in individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) relate to specific types of white matter damage in the brain. Mild traumatic brain injuries are often caused by concussive events, such as falls or sports-related impacts, and can lead to a range of symptoms, including headaches, dizziness,…
0 Clinical Presentation Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) often manifests with a range of clinical symptoms that can vary significantly from one patient to another. Patients typically present with systemic and multi-organ involvement, with manifestations seen in the skin, joints, kidneys, and the central nervous system. One of the notable features of JSLE is its…
0 Study Overview The study investigates the relationship between daytime napping and nighttime sleep patterns, focusing on motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) in older adults across China. MCR is characterized by a combination of cognitive decline and motor impairment, making it a significant concern for this demographic. The research draws on a large nationwide cohort…
6 Pathophysiological Mechanisms The pathophysiology of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) encompasses a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to the manifestation of neurological symptoms. These mechanisms deviate from traditional neurological diseases, where identifiable biological markers typically drive the clinical presentation. In FND, the symptoms arise from dysfunction in the way the…
5 Prevalence of Adverse Life Events Recent findings indicate that individuals with functional neurological disorders (FND) frequently report a history of adverse life events. These events can include a range of distressing experiences such as physical abuse, sexual trauma, chronic illness, significant loss, or any kind of profound emotional distress. In clinical observations and studies,…
4 The Effects of Pregnancy on FND Symptoms Pregnancy can significantly influence the symptoms experienced by individuals with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Notably, some women report an exacerbation of symptoms during pregnancy, while others experience an improvement. This variability can be attributed to multiple factors, including hormonal changes, physiological stress, and the psychosocial impact of…
2 Study Overview The exploration of how aerobic exercise impacts individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) represents a critical frontier in neurology and rehabilitation. This study investigates the effects of aerobic exercise on both cortical and subcortical brain regions, which are pivotal in the progression and manifestation of Parkinson’s symptoms. Previous research has indicated that physical…
3 Definition and Prevalence Pediatric concussion is classified as a mild traumatic brain injury that occurs when an external force impacts the head, leading to physiological changes in the brain. This injury can arise from various incidents, such as sports-related impacts, falls, collisions, or even minor traumas. The key characteristic of a concussion is its…
