Sports Concussions Relevant In Brain Injuries ✓ Solved

Sports Concussions Relevant In Injuries Of The Brainbystayshe Woodobje

This research will aim to address the issue of sport related post-concussions that can leave severe physical, behavioral, emotional, sensory, cognitive, and communication deficits in an individual, and injuries that are not easily detected but sequels can appear weeks or years after injury affecting a person’s livelihood, with the goal of addressing the management and the interdependence by care providers involved in the care of concussions, expecting for these care professionals to work collectively for the well-being of the athletes.

This proposal will focus on both young and adult athletes. Classifying it as a silent epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control describes concussions in this manner due to the not visible health issues that make up for approximately 75% of the 1.7 million suffering from traumatic brain injuries (Werff, Vander, Rieger, 2019).

Research suggests that neuropsychological testing can provide a more sensitive measure for cognitive impairment than clinical exams, and in addition to this, newer techniques in neuroimaging may help in providing greater and new insight in evaluation and managing concussion injuries related to sports (Harmon, et al., 2013).

Results

The specific aim of this proposal is to assess the extent of brain damage caused by sports concussions that affect the cognitive and physiological aspects in an individual by providing neuropsychology rehabilitation.

Conclusions

After an inflammation occurs, axons suffer retraction, although probably would not grow in the original direction, neurons can sometimes go back to their normal state. Lesions do not always involve cell death in the brain. The brain can be disseminated, localized, or systemic diffuse (Hermann, Gobel, Simon, Melzer, Schuhmann, Stenner, Meuth, 2010).

Medically speaking all aspects are important to establish location and etiology of the damage in the brain. Also, we will seek to provide an overview on findings related to brain structure and functional imaging based on the study of concussions, sharing the accuracy in models of classification that were developed via a machine-learning algorithm that identified patients with concussion determined by imaging data.

Implications

When an individual suffers a brain hemorrhage, injury, trauma, and/or infectious lesion to the brain, the brain tissue reacts by getting inflamed with a proliferation of the glial cells and blood elements, which help in the re-absorption of the noxa, and in turn a scar is formed that basically consists of glial cells (Boboo, Jara, Mendes, Morari, Velloso, Araujo, 2019).
