Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Brain Following Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
<p>Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a common form of head injury, with mild TBIs (mTBIs) making up 75-90% of the TBI severity scale. It’s been suggested that repetitive mild TBIs (rmTBIs) may enhance effects of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). With dementia linking TBI and AD together, we investigated …

Evaluation and Application of Brain Injury Criteria to Improve Protective Headgear Design
As many as 3.8 million sports-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur each year, nearly all of which are mild or concussive. These injuries are especially concerning given recent evidence that repeated concussions can lead to long-term neurodegenerative processes. One way of reducing the …

Propranolol Elicits Long Term Systemic Effects After Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
There are almost 2 million new traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) every year in the US. Of these, 80% of these can be classified as mild TBI, also known as concussions, that can lead to pronounced long term symptoms months and years after injury. The presence of post traumatic headaches (PTH) is the …

Traumatic brain injuries and older adults: The implications of neck strength, muscle activation, and range of motion
Fall-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults. Previous research has focused on non-modifiable risk factors, such as age and gender. However, some potential modifiable risk factors to fall-related TBIs in older adults may be related to …

Design of a composite combat helmet liner for prevention of blast-induced traumatic brain injury
Air blast-induced traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) represent a significant percentage of military personnel injuries observed in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Prevalence of blast-induced TBIs is attributed to several factors, including improved body armor, …

Establishing Boundary Conditions for Optimized Reconstruction of Head Impacts
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) encompass an array of head trauma caused by diverse mechanisms, including falls, vehicular accidents, and sports-related incidents. These injuries vary from concussions to diffuse axonal injuries. TBIs are characterized by the linear and rotational accelerations of …

Occupational Head Protection: Considerations for Test Methods and Use
Occupational accidents are a main source of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), with TBIs accounting for a substantial portion of all work-related deaths. Motor vehicle accidents and falls are consistently leading causes of head injury and fatality across industries. These injuries can have serious …

Development of a test method for evaluating safety helmets' ability to reduce skull fracture and brain injury risk from falls in construction
… for the greatest number of fatal and non-fatal traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), however current safety helmet standards do not test safety helmets under impact conditions realistic to this injury event. Safety helmets are broadly classified into two groups: Type I, which are tested at the top of …

Investigating Sex-Specific Responses in a Preclinical Model of Traumatic Brain Injury: Development of Chronic Depression-Like Behavior and Glutamatergic Protein Changes
Concussion is the most common form of brain injury, comprising over 80% of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occurring in the United States and around the world. While many individuals are able to fully recover in the weeks following a concussion, an estimated 50% of patients go on to suffer from …
