TBI talk

New study identifies small non-coding RNAs in saliva that accurately detect concussion in Rugby players. Moreover, it has the *best* study acronym: SCRUM. the-scientist.com/news-opinion/s… @MonashTrauma @NeurotraumaPhx @tbi_talk @griz1

A rather entertaining way to discuss the potential impact of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy #CTE @BrainInjuryMA @brain_trauma @MyHeadFirst @FENS_concussion

High time for increased recognition of clinical, personal and societal impact of #TBI twitter.com/TheLancetNeuro…

A new conference for 2017: @Neuro_Central & @DF_concussion got some great vids from @FrontiersInTBI - check them out tbitalk.weebly.com/conferences.ht…

@tbi_talk you can see my website which is based on reviews from Amazon UK at ben-again.org

Interesting and timely study! @WillStewNeuro how were players selected for inclusion?

How to conclude, given that donated brains likely from selective population? @MADLab1 @Neurosharp @WillStewNeuro jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Interesting results from CTE in American Football nytimes.com/interactive/20… and the original article out tomorrow jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

We have bloods tests to diagnose heart attacks... could diagnosing brain injury be heading that way too? birmingham.ac.uk/news/latest/20…

Scooters for kids increasingly popular; they can get quite fast so good to see helmet use being promoted! bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/joini…

Peeling back the headlines... nice summary of some of key areas in 'concussion' research @griz1 @BIRC_at_UCLA sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/…

Also shows potential important contribution of advanced MRI to paediatric TBI care @griz1 @DrEmilyD @GreenJournal

gr8 work @griz1 @DrEmilyD -kids with damage to white matter connections after injury also had worse memory twitter.com/greenjournal/s…

If the ambulance could CT the brain and detect a life-threatening bleed, patient could go straight to surgery & save precious minutes. twitter.com/markhwilson/st…

Use of brain imaging + head sensors v cool. Would like 2 c more research like this. Too early for conclusions tho! twitter.com/ukabif/status/…

Interesting take on the recent chat about effects of playing football on brain... More awareness is good, but more research would be better! twitter.com/WillStewNeuro/…

@WillStewNeuro thnx 4 ur thoughts - long term effects of these contact sports definitely needs a study with more than 14 players!

Would be gr8 to get ur thoughts on relevance of the pathological finding @WillStewNeuro @Neurosharp independent.co.uk/sport/football…

Damage in brains of footballers who also had dementia - is there is link? V small study (14) tho independent.co.uk/sport/football… @ianherbs
