This cohort study of 1023 blood samples demonstrated sex-dependent changes in plasma GFAP, UCH-L1, NfL, and t-tau in adolescents with sport-related concussion, supporting their continued use in investigating concussion pathology in pediatric populations. https://t.co/3OwVin3kvr

The will to live returning to my body when I leave the hospital and the sun is still up.

Glad to see more data rolling out on Guardian Caps and concussion rates.

🚨 What is the association between Guardian Cap use during practices and sport-related concussion risk in high school American football players? 🏈

Excited to share our article, "New Framework for the Continuum of Concussion and Functional Neurological Disorder" published yesterday in @BJSM_BMJ with @silverberg_lab

These curves are often wrongfully all given the same label of post-concussion... 🧵
