SSVEP Evaluation of Brain Function (PRO)
The investigational device used in this clinical investigation, the Nurochek PRO System (NCPRO), is a portable electroencephalogram (EEG) headset which delivers a visual stimulus and measures a VEP. The visual stimulus is delivered to the subjects' eyes via light-emitting diodes, and the EEG measures the user's visual-evoked potential. This headset …
BRAINI-2 Elderly Mild TBI European Study
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is one of the most frequent emergencies in the elderly population. Despite most mTBI are managed with cranial computed tomography (CT), only 10% of CTs show lesions, determining CT overuse. The use of serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) have …
New Protein Biomarkers and Technology for Improving Diagnosis and Outcome Prediction in Mild TBI
Mild traumatic brain injury(mTBI) is a common cause of consultation to the emergency rooms worldwide and is the most common form of traumatic brain injury. Though classified as mild, as many as 40% of patients suffering mTBI do not make complete recoveries or present persistent symptoms. The present study is …
Utilizing Electronic Clinical Decision Support to Enhance mTBI Care at the Primary Care Point of Entry
Six primary care practices within a large Philadelphia pediatric care network will use an electronic Clinical Decision Support (eCDS) tool as standard care for concussion evaluation. The eCDS tool will include a prediction rule for children aged 5-18 assessed for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The eCDS tool predicts risk …
Concussion in French Non-professional Handball League : Efficiency of a Concussion Protocol, the White Card Process
Sport related concussion is a major issue for many contact sports, such as Rugby, Football, Hockey and Handball. As a response, some federations like World Rugby set up a concussion protocol, that starts with the referee having the responsibility to issue a blue card when suspecting a concussed player and …
Selective CT for Anticoagulated Head Injured Patients
The goal is to derive and a clinical decision rule for safe exclusion of traumatic brain injury without neuroimaging in head-injured ED patients who take anticoagulant medications. The objectives are to: Derive and externally validate a new highly sensitive and maximally specific clinical decision rule for the exclusion of traumatic …
Contributions of mTBI to Neurodegeneration Due to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
This is a research study that aims to examine whether Veterans with mild Traumatic Brain Injuries are at risk for dementia by studying their memory, brain wave activity, brain structure and proteins that can be elevated after brain injury and in dementia.
Validation of the Scandinavian Guidelines for Minor and Moderate Head Trauma in Children
Head injuries are common among children and adolescents, with many of them assessed in emergency departments each year. Most children recover fast, with full resolution of symptoms as headache, dizziness or fatigue. A few, however, develop life-threatening complications (such as bleedings in/around the brain). It can be difficult to swiftly …
Use of Cerebral Biomarkers in Minor Traumatic Brain Injury in the Emergency Unit
The use of serum biomarkers in the setting of the emergency department (ED) has been well characterized over the years as an adjunctive tool for the clinician in the setting of complex decision making. In this regard, the serum dosage of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase …
Phase I Human Analytics (HALO) Study
Discover, optimize, standardize, and validate clinical-trial measures and biomarkers used to diagnose and differentiate cardiovascular, oncologic, neurologic, and other diseases and disorders. Specifically, our research study endeavors to improve disease and disorder diagnosis to the earliest clinical states, in preclinical states, and to develop ensemble multivariate biomarker risk scores leading …
