Victim-survivors of Intimate Partner Violence often have worse brain injuries than people who've had a sporting injury, writes @Robynriley08 in today's @theheraldsun.

Congratulations to Dr @c_padgett who has been awarded a 2024 #ChurchillFellowship.

The award will enable her to travel to the US, Canada and the UK to investigate the latest research on the impact of brain injury from intimate partner violence: https://t.co/MPOb1ChwW5

New papers from lab on IPV #TBI.

@MujunSun developed a new model to study how a non-fatal strangulation can exacerbate the effects of concussion. @GeorgiaSymons led the first study into blood biomarkers and symptoms acutely after IPV TBI. @BrainBehavImm

“While we don’t have exact statistics around the prevalence of brain injury in victim-survivors compared to what we have in sports – in part due to a lack of awareness of these injuries in this setting, or victim-survivors not receiving medical attention – the estimates of brain injury in IPV likely far outnumber those in sports,”

CTE is caused by repetitive head injury and has mostly been found in contact sports players. now it's been diagnosed in two women who suffered decades of abuse before they died—the first two documented cases in victims of domestic violence in australia https://t.co/9sUulfoS0L
