My 14 yo daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year. Recently she was donated 2 tickets to see @taylorswift13 in Liverpool on the 14th June.
Sadly event organisers have withdrawn the tickets and obviously this has made her very upset.

This article presents a safe, systematic, evidence-based exercise program that clinicians can prescribe, progress, and modify to help manage acute pediatric sport-related #concussion without the need for formal exercise testing.

The conclusion from this systematic review is that the functional implications of DTI findings in studies of sports concussion remain unclear, similar to what is concluded in other MTBI studies using DTI. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3650…

Trained algorithms incorporating both MRI and cognitive performance variables in this study of 29 concussed athletes and 48 controls detects concussion at an accuracy of 74%. A much lower rate than the SCAT5. Is it any better than chance? link.springer.com/article/10…

Happy to be a co-author on this newly published paper. Andrew and others did a great job in putting this together. Findings show that you need to test these players, rather than relying on a subjective report on cognitive functioning.

Excited to see our latest publication in @SportsMedicineJ from a collaboration with @CareConsortium!
Duration of continuing to play after #concussion is associated with higher symptom burdens, longer symptom duration, and more time missed from sport.

As reviewed in this article, emerging data show that there are specific symptom generators for persisting symptoms after #concussion that can be identified by a thorough history, a pertinent physical examination, and adjunct tests when indicated.

Implications from this study on pediatric #concussion are that interventions optimizing a youth’s self-efficacy have the potential to increase treatment adherence, reduce symptom severity, and improve recovery prognosis.
