chronic traumatic encephalopathy/headache

Background: There are no validated or agreed upon criteria for diagnosing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in a living person. In recent years, it has been proposed that anger dyscontrol represents a behavioral clinical phenotype of CTE. This is the first study to examine the

The association of military blast exposure and brain injury was first appreciated in World War I as commotio cerebri, and later as shell shock. Similar injuries sustained in modern military conflicts are now classified as mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Recent research has yielded new insights

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a progressive tauopathy that occurs as a consequence of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury. We analysed post-mortem brains obtained from a cohort of 85 subjects with histories of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury and found evidence of chronic traumatic

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between epilepsy and migraine on purely clinical basis. To illustrate some of these difficulties, the cases of three patients are described. The first patient had both epilepsy and migraine with aura, the second patient had paroxysmal headache as a part of an

Post-traumatic cerebrasthenia and post-traumatic encephalopathy are the effects of a head trauma. Most physicians overuse these diagnoses. They do not perform differential diagnostic management, what leads to issuing erroneous opinions. The aim of this report is to show the symptoms of posttraumatic

With preferential use of high explosives in modern warfare, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a common injury for troops. Most TBIs are classified as "mild," although military personnel with these injuries can have persistent symptoms such as headache, memory impairment, and behavioral

BACKGROUND The goal was to identify which neurochemicals differ in professional athletes with repetitive brain trauma (RBT) when compared to healthy controls using a relatively new technology, in vivo Localized COrrelated SpectroscopY (L-COSY). METHODS To achieve this, L-COSY was used to examine
