Screening Instruments for Measuring Visual Symptoms in Victims of Concussion
Visual dysfunction after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is common but often remain undiscovered during longer periods of time. No valid, reliable and easy-to-use screening instrument for uncovering visual dysfunction exists. Furthermore, it is unknown whether optometric measurements currently used in assessing vision problems are consistent with patients' subjective complaints …
Post-Concussion Syndrome in Professional Athletes: A Multidisciplinary Study
to examine the relationship between repeated concussions and late decline of brain function. In addition, all participants agreeing to participate in the study will be asked to will their brains to The Krembil Neuroscience Centre Concussion Project at the Toronto Western Hospital with the consent and full knowledge of their …
ERP Changes Pre and Post Military Changes
This study looks to investigate the cognitive effects associated with intense, military combat training regimens or so-called repetitive sub-concussive forces. Specifically, study participants will undergo cognitive testing in tandem with EEG recordings pre- and post-military training to assess cognition.
Paediatric Brain Injury Following Cardiac Interventions
Children born with congenital heart problems face numerous physical, developmental, and social challenges. Complications in pregnancy have potential to impair brain development, leading a smaller brain volume and less mature brain even in babies born at full term. As the brain is less mature, it may be more susceptible to …
Systemic Biomarkers of Brain Injury From Hyperammonemia
Ammonia is a waste product of protein and amino acid catabolism and is also a potent neurotoxin. High blood ammonia levels on the brain can manifest as cytotoxic brain edema and vascular compromise leading to intellectual and developmental disabilities. The following aims are proposed: Aim 1 of this study will …
Automated Robotic TCD in Traumatic Brain Injury
This study's objective is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of prolonged automated robotic TCD monitoring in critically ill patients with severe TBI across multiple clinical sites with varying levels of TCD availability and experience
Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke Long Term Outcome
Investigators will determine the long-lasting effects of post-acute rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury and stroke. Investigators will also evaluate if the beneficial effects of rehabilitation continue after discharge from a rehabilitative program.
The Utility of Thromboelastography in Traumatic Brain Injury
Hemocoagulation disorder is recognized to have crucial effects on hemorrhagic or ischemic diseases. Coagulation-related damages secondary to traumatic brain injury are common and severe secondary insults of head trauma and often leads to a poor prognosis. In this study, we sought to assess if posttraumatic hemocoagulation disorders determined using thromboelastography …
Neuroplasticity After Proprioceptive Rehabiliation
Sequences of muscle tendon vibrations allow to reproduce the sensory feedback during movement like locomotion and kinaesthesia. It is known that such a treatment promotes motor recovery after stroke assuming that it enhances neuroplasticity. The aim of the research is to study the activity in cerebrospinal circuitry to evaluate the …
Ventilatory Parameters in Acute Neurological Injury
The goal of this observational study is to test the association between baseline ventilatory parameters (in particular mechanical power (MP), mechanical power normalized to predicted body weight (MP/PBW) and driving pressure (DP) with the baseline neurological status (assessed through the Glasgow coma score) in adults patients under mechanical ventilation with …
