Purdue study using fMRI on HS football players finds repetitive exposure to head impacts produces alterations in functional brain connectivity.
For many, the brain connectivity recovered months later, suggesting postseason "brain rest" is essential. https://t.co/2cjgKqzovL

Hypertension is one of the strongest determinants of cardiovascular disease and #BrainHealth. Leveraging @AllofUsResearch, we showed the synergistic contribution of race/ethnicity and neighborhood deprivation to UNDIAGNOSED HYPERTENSION.

"We hope the football community will accelerate reforms aimed at preventing CTE by limiting head impacts for players and that parents will use this information to make more informed choices about sports participation for their children." @YTripodis @BUSPH @BUMedicine #CTE

COVID-19 Prep Update- March 14:

Last night I was on with state & local officials around the US well into the night. By March 23 many of our largest cities & hospitals are on course to be overrun with cases.

I am going to prepare a memo for them. I will share highlights here.1/

Graphs are useful but to really get what that rising curve is, have a look at the obituaries page of this Bergamo daily newspaper, comparing one from February with one from now

Oh...maybe I should cut down on watching MSNBC because I was led to believe that all the problems started with Trump and we just need "to beat him to take our country back". https://t.co/AXC0DJwZwa

designed by the most intelligent humans, that would determine whether you go into the battlefield or not, what would you and your friends do?" We'll find a way to cheat, I said. "You and every other 20 year old in the army...and this is why no sensor would be successful"

[Yorghos Tripodis @YTripodis]

I recently asked an army doctor whether sensors measuring blast exposure would be helpful in the battlefield. He said "You have been in the military for a short period in your 20s. If someone would give you a sophisticated device https://t.co/W9Gb60Wcjt

Dave Watson: Ex-England skipper may have CTE. Are we going to see more CTE cases as this older generation-who played with leather balls and tactically very different from now-dies? https://t.co/Fnyc2vZuXp

I don’t understand the #concussion protocol at #TottenhamAjax! Why did the referee allowed Vertonghen back to the game after such a nasty #TBI ? You shouldn’t wait till the player starts throwing up to take him out for his protection?
