  1. Here’s one of the big challenges with having a #traumaticbraininjury - some days you’re perfectly fine and feel like your old/pre tbi self. And then you have a day where you’ve got vertigo, walking is unsteady (possibly leading to a fall you won’t be able to get up from), you have horrible brain fog and can barely make it to physical therapy.

  4. #TraumaticBrainInjury Assessment Gets an Overhaul
    — New framework goes beyond the Glasgow Coma Scale to assess #TBI severity

    The assessment has four pillars: clinical, biomarker, imaging, and modifiers.

    - Clinical pillar: GCS scores and pupillary reactivity

    - Biomarker pillar: glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), or S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B)

    - Imaging pillar uses CT and MRI to assess intracranial damage

    - Modifier pillar assesses factors that may influence clinical presentation and outcomes, like comorbidities or how the trauma occurred

  5. Nasal Spray Blunts Traumatic Brain Injury: Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital has found that a nasal spray containing an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody significantly reduces brain inflammation and speeds recovery. #traumaticbraininjury #tbi #cd3 #treg #il10 #mva #nasalspray

    "To test this idea, researchers gave what they describe as 'bump on head, ice pack' injuries to 16 adult female rats without anesthesia for three days in a row. Half an hour after each of the daily injuries, half the rats received an injection of psilocybin."

    An unusual female-only study.

    Hope it still works if treatment is delayed.

    "The authors also noticed the rats treated with psilocybin showed reduced hyper-reactivity to CO2 following their head injuries and 'dramatic' differences in their functional connectivity."

    Very interesting!

  7. @PDFlynn The reason the Pentagon is withholding the Purple Hearts for #TBI #TraumaticBrainInjury is because they would have to award the medal to 100’s of thousands of #veterans of the Bush/Cheney wars in #Afghanistan and #Iraq who came home with TBI. They are also denying medical care. I worked on a project with the head doctor for TBI at the VA medical center in Tampa. He said the Pentagon stopped counting most TBI injuries because it was politically unacceptable.

  8. "Todd’s nerves had kept him awake for most of the previous night, and he felt a little sick to his stomach. But evidence of his grit and the battles he’d already waged in his life was etched into his skin: a jagged-edged divot in his lower left shin.
