My 14 yo daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year. Recently she was donated 2 tickets to see @taylorswift13 in Liverpool on the 14th June.
Sadly event organisers have withdrawn the tickets and obviously this has made her very upset.

@brooligan For another brand, it could have been: Mac the Knife!

@tannahillglen With illness-deception, is not a question of one or the other; it is a matter of which incentive is controlling. See our article: https://t.co/r4VtSkOwVX

@brooligan My memory of the designer is that he kept his shape and his wit.

@brooligan I miss my Hull t-shirt with the award-winning Gallagher design! It was a classic!

This article presents a safe, systematic, evidence-based exercise program that clinicians can prescribe, progress, and modify to help manage acute pediatric sport-related #concussion without the need for formal exercise testing.

The conclusion from this systematic review is that the functional implications of DTI findings in studies of sports concussion remain unclear, similar to what is concluded in other MTBI studies using DTI. https://t.co/wrWEdj5ZoW

@tannahillglen Nice! But still descriptive science. For more depth: https://t.co/kaXp6bcorj

@cathoderaytube @brooligan Gallagher's work is masterful!

Findings from this study suggest that white matter alterations and cerebral microbleeds are not strongly associated as studied in images from patients following TBI.

@WB_BARR Very helpful article for TBI cases

@WB_BARR Accuracy would probably be worse if they had used orthopedic trauma controls...

[William B. Barr @WB_BARR]

Trained algorithms incorporating both MRI and cognitive performance variables in this study of 29 concussed athletes and 48 controls detects concussion at an accuracy of 74%. A much lower rate than the SCAT5. Is it any better than chance? https://t.co/Y5pBOm0ZQN

@WB_BARR Such important work that touches on the nature of evidence when doing a study or examination.

[William B. Barr @WB_BARR]

Happy to be a co-author on this newly published paper. Andrew and others did a great job in putting this together. Findings show that you need to test these players, rather than relying on a subjective report on cognitive functioning.

Three or more concussions remains the magic number for complicating recovery from sport-related concussion (SCR). https://t.co/2sP45ZErhf

Demographic bias in concussion diagnosis?
This study finds differences in concussion diagnosis between certain demographic groups compared to those with ankle injuries.
