@agordon55 CT scan & D-dimer clear, feel good. Working physically as a PT half day, run after 2 kids under 2 afternoon/evenings. Walk 5km at weekends - no issues. Not previous level fitness but don’t feel disabled. Too tired to exercise more with work/kids/poor sleep but think it’s normal

[Megyn Robertson @MegynRobertson]

@agordon55 I was 6mo pregnant with my second baby - my first little one was 15mo so it was very stressful at the time as I wasn’t able to walk 200m without a rest. If I showered and washed my hair I wasn’t able to dress immediately I needed to sit for 5-10mins and get my breath back.

[Megyn Robertson @MegynRobertson]

@agordon55 I was injecting with clexane bd from 6month pregnant to 6wks post partum - then I was just told to stop injecting immediately which felt a bit weird. I then went to see a haemotologist and fortunately have no genetic predisposition (Leiden V) I’m now on xarelto forever.

Is soccer the same for men and women? Same rules, same field. Not the same risk of the same injuries. #Sportskongres2023

I believe this is a real game changer in detecting accurately these type of injuries.

I can already imagine salivary on field testing in many sports, like rugby, in the next few years 🤞

Need some help please! I’ve been out of SA media loop for over 7 years now but still receive weekly emails about the gross corruption in SA sport. So, who are the reputable sports journalists in SA that I can share this information with to expose the ongoing corruption? Thanks!

[Acquired Brain Injury Ireland @ABIIreland]

It is estimated that 19,000 brain injuries are acquired in Ireland annually. "TBI affects both men and women of all ages, however there is a male bias in TBI research". Investment needed in #BrainInjuryResesarch on treatment across the female lifespan

Whew, after several years and during a pandemic, thrilled to share our RCT findings, now published in @AJSM_SportsMed

Primary result: An 8 wk neuromuscular training program after concussion led to a ~3.5X reduced risk of injury over the subsequent year

“In mixed-sex cohorts of young adult athletes with persistent post-concussion symptoms and in TBI patients, increased tau aggregation and neuroinflammation are observed at ≥ 6 months post-injury using PET.” #PCS #concussion

[David Howell @HowellDR]

Excited to share our first investigation into behavioral performance (gait) and brain neurochemistry after concussion! We observed slower gait speed is correlated with greater neuroinflammation (myo-inositol) in the PCG.
