▼ Background: Despite the increased awareness and education to the public, concussions in children continue to ensue without proper concussion education and management in school systems. Whether the child suffers a concussion in school or at home, it is essential for school nurses to have proper concussion education and evidence based management strategies to further monitor post-concussive symptoms in the school setting. Concussion symptoms can affect the student up to 7-10 days following the injury. Concussions can range from mild to severe, with symptoms lasting hours, days, months or longer. Children who experience a concussion can experience academic challenges that will affect them in the classroom. Without proper concussion education for school nurses, concussed youth may experience post-concussive symptoms. School nurses have a significant role, collaborating with the parents, providers, and the student in providing accommodations and support while transitioning back into the classroom. Purpose: To assess the knowledge of Utah school nurses regarding concussion education and management of the concussed student. In addition evaluating the educational intervention, which changed the knowledge base of the participants. Methods: A one group pre-test and post-test design was used. Study materials were emailed via the Utah School Nurse Association listserv to all Utah school nurses. A concussion educational power point was provided to these nurses before having them complete the post-test. Results: The results of the paired sample t-test revealed that there was a significant difference (p= .000) in comparison of the pre-test and post-test results after viewing the concussion educational power point. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results after viewing the concussion educational power point. Therefore it can be concluded that providing education and awareness regarding concussion and its management will increase the knowledge and ultimately may change practice which in turn may improve patient outcomes.

Children and youth who suffer a mild traumatic brain injury or concussion are at risk for a number of negative outcomes. The symptoms of concussion and the management of these symptoms can be disruptive to the child’s everyday activities, especially if they are prolonged. Depression can result and may complicate the course of recovery. Depression has overlapping symptoms with concussion and is thought to lengthen the recovery period. There has been much research done in populations of mixed severities of brain injury but very little addresses children with concussion. Knowledge in this area is crucial due to depression’s impact on all aspects of functioning as well as the potential alteration of the child’s developmental trajectory. The purpose of this research was to examine the risks and predictors of depression following concussion in youth and to explore the experiences of a subsample of youth and their families with prolonged recovery from concussion, complicated by depression. Chapter One provides a review of the current literature setting the context for the research within what is known about concussion in youth, what is known about depression in youth and because of the early stages of this type of research, what is known about depression as an outcome of concussion in all age groups. Chapter Two presents a study highlighting the tangible risk for depression in a sample of children being followed in a tertiary care clinic (N=92). Significant predictors of depressive symptomatology were found to be the need for hospital admission and high symptom scores in the first few days and weeks after injury, which may be valuable information for prevention, early identification and treatment of youth at risk for depression after concussion. Chapter Three provides an in-depth exploration of the experiences of youth and families who have gone through prolonged recovery from concussion with significant depressive symptomatology. A phenomenological approach was used with six participants and their families who were interviewed and their responses analyzed. A trajectory of recovery was identified; common themes within each of four key stages of the trajectory were discussed and illustrated using direct quotes from the participants. Chapter Four outlines the important implications of these two studies for health care professionals; particularly in raising awareness of the mental health outcomes of concussion. Knowledge of the impact of debilitating symptoms, activity restrictions and depression can inform discussions early after a concussion to prepare and possibly prevent some of the losses experienced by youth that can lead to depression.

▼ Within the past few decades brain injury, or traumatic brain injury (TBI), has gained widespread attention. Early focus was on more severe forms of TBI; severity typically measured using the Glasgow Coma Scale. In more recent years, however, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), most notably concussions, has gained increasing interest due to the high frequency of concussions suffered in athletes of all levels and, recently, in military personnel due to blast injuries. Studies being performed have focused not only on ways to help minimize the incidence of concussion as well as treating concussive symptoms, but also on detecting concussions. Many concussions go unreported due to inadequate knowledge of concussive symptoms amongst the general population. Because many concussions go unnoticed and hence unreported the individual who has sustained a concussion is at risk for a more serious injury in the future. One such injury is Second Impact Syndrome (SIS). Second Impact Syndrome is essentially a synergistic event where the sum of two seemingly mild concussions combine to create an event that is potentially fatal. The findings during the autopsy are that there is insignificant damage to the brain to cause death. The damage that occurs, however, is on a molecular level causing a strain on the metabolic processes of the brain called dysautoregulation. Without an understanding of the changes that have occurred on a molecular level in SIS the assignment of cause and manner of death is difficult for the medical examiner. Currently, in order to diagnose SIS, a thorough scene investigation, along with the documentation of a previous head injury is needed. Without a full understanding of SIS and the pathophysiology changes that take place a medical examiner (ME) could misclassify the cause and manner of death in a death due to SIS. In the future, eliminating the prerequisite of identification and documentation of previous head injuries in order to diagnose SIS is needed. This paper evaluates the literature on the current knowledge of TBI and concussions in an attempt to create a protocol on how a medical examiner should approach a case where autopsy findings are unremarkable.

▼ Objectives: After mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), psychological factors can contribute to persisting post-concussion symptoms (PCS). Consistent with constructive theories of memory, negative expectations for increased symptoms after mTBI may contribute to misattributing symptoms to the mTBI and underestimating pre-injury symptoms, called the “good old days’ bias” (Gunstad & Suhr, 2001). The good old days’ bias is not thought to be a general retrospective recall bias but studies to date have largely not controlled for normative memory processes including those that lead to a biased, more positive recall of the past. Therefore, the current study examines whether there is a good old days’ bias after mTBI above and beyond normal memory biases. This study also examines how soon after mTBI the good old days’ bias affects recall of pre-injury symptoms in the first month after mTBI in adolescents as well as whether the good old days’ bias causes pre-injury symptom severity to be underestimated or if symptoms are entirely forgotten. Finally, the clinical significance of symptom recall biases is investigated. Method: The sample is 42 adolescents who sustained an mTBI (ages 13-18 years; 24 males) and 42 uninjured adolescents (ages 13-18 years; 24 males, ). The mTBI group rated current and retrospective post-concussion symptom ratings within one week and again, at one month, post-injury. The control group rated current and retrospective post-concussion symptoms at baseline and one month later. Cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons using non-parametric statistical tests were used. Results: Wilcoxon signed-rank tests showed that, by one month post-mTBI, adolescents report fewer total, physical, and emotional pre-injury symptoms than they had reported within one week of their concussion. The control group did not demonstrate this good old days’ bias. There were no between-group differences in retrospective PCS ratings at either time point. Chi-square analyses found that the mTBI group was as likely as the control group to recall “no” pre-injury/past symptoms one month post-injury after having initially reported some pre-injury symptoms. Only four more adolescents were classified as “recovered” if their one-month PCS ratings were compared with pre-injury PCS ratings made within 1-week post-concussion rather than pre-injury ratings from 1-month post-injury. Discussion: There was mixed evidence for a good old days’ bias by one month post-concussion. This bias was not demonstrated in healthy adolescents, suggesting that the good old days’ bias is found specifically after concussion. During the acute post-injury period, the good old days’ bias may only be apparent by studying changes in concussed individuals’ own PCS ratings. The good old days’ bias leads to underestimating the severity of pre-injury symptoms rather than forgetting them entirely. The good old days’ bias does not greatly affect symptom recovery tracking by one month post-concussion. Future studies should directly examine expectations about concussion and… Advisors/Committee Members: Christie, Brian R. (supervisor), Garcia-Barrera, Mauricio Alejandro (supervisor).

▼ BACKGROUND: Sports-related head trauma has become a major public health concern with significant consequences including persistent post-concussion syndrome (pPCS) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). pPCS is a condition where symptoms of single concussion persist years beyond the initial injury. CTE has been characterized as a condition with insidious onset following a latent period after substantial exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI). Timing of symptom onset usually distinguishes these conditions, however in certain clinical situations a definitive diagnosis is not always clear. For these situations, a measurable distinguishing variable is necessary. LITERATURE REVIEW: Concussions are the most common form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are associated with a variety of neurological symptoms that usually resolve within weeks. Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) refers to cases where symptoms continue months beyond this window, and pPCS is defined as symptoms continuing over years. These conditions are temporally related single concussive events. CTE is the hallmark condition related to RHI and remains difficult to fully characterize as it currently can only be diagnosed post-mortem. Clinical features of CTE are similar to those of pPCS with notable behavioral/mood symptoms in its earliest stages, and progression to severe cognitive decline over time. Current research has shown executive dysfunction to be a common impairment among these conditions. The difference in level of dysfunction between them, if one exists, is yet to be measured. PROPOSED PROJECT: A cross-sectional analysis of executive function in four groups. A control without history of mTBI or football exposure (Non-Football – pPCS), a second control of asymptomatic subjects with football exposure (Football – pPCS), a group of pPCS patients with non-athletic mTBI history (Non-Football + pPCS), and a group of pPCS patients with football exposure (Football + pPCS). Executive functioning will be evaluated using the BRIEF-A assessment. Results will be compared to determine if significant differences in executive functioning exist between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: With previous studies showing a correlation between CTE pathological stage, worsening executive function, and increased RHI exposure, further investigation into using executive function as a distinguishing variable between early stage CTE and pPCS is warranted. SIGNIFICANCE: Results of this study, if significant, could be applied clinically to assess risk of early stage CTE in athletes with prolonged post-concussion symptoms. If results are not significant, they may still be utilized for a better understanding of the effects of isolated mTBIs and RHI on executive functioning, and provide valuable information for ongoing longitudinal studies.

▼ Following a mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), there can be neuropathological changes in the brain resulting in permanent or transient neurological symptoms and signs of a functional disturbance. The persistence of these symptoms for more than one month is usually referred to as Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS). PCS severity usually increases when comorbid depression exists. Moreover, the diagnosis of PCS might be overlooked in favour of a diagnosis of depression due to the overlap in the symptoms of the two pathologies. This study, for the first time, presents staged research to evaluate a novel technology, called Electrovestibulography (EVestG), that holds the potential to objectively and cost-effectively be utilized as an assistive tool to diagnose PCS, its comorbid depression and quantitatively measure the recovery from PCS and its sequelae following a treatment. In the first stage of this research, two EVestG features were extracted from the recorded signals to distinguish PCS from age and gender-matched healthy controls. These two features resulted in an unbiased classification accuracy of 84% and 79% for separating healthy controls from PCS sufferers and for separating long (>3 months) and short-term (<3 months) PCS sufferers, respectively. Secondly, it was shown that the calculated accuracy for separating PCS from healthy controls can be affected when comorbid depression exists. By adding an EVestG depression-specific feature from a previous study, the calculated accuracy was improved from 83% to >90% for those with moderate/severe depression. Then, it was shown EVestG features could monitor recovery following repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) treatment for PCS with and without comorbid depression. Additionally, the EVestG features used have shown the potential to robustly detect and monitor changes, relatively independently, in both persistent PCS and in depression when comorbid PCS-depression present. Finally, the effect of mTBI on other sensory systems, in particular, that closely linked visual system was examined. Given the prevalence of convergence insufficiency (CI) among the mTBI population, as well as the link between the vestibular and oculomotor system, the effect of the mTBI on the CI was investigated and found to be significantly correlated with the EVestG features and PCS clinical assessment.

▼ Purpose: Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is a is a complex neurological disorder in which various concussion symptoms can last for weeks, months, or even years after sustaining the concussion. The PCS population has been shown to have some functional deficits such as balance and visual-motor integration issues in addition to their PCS symptoms. The current study has three main objectives as follows: 1) to establish a comprehensive visual function test battery for use in both control and PCS individuals, 2) to compare performance on the comprehensive visual function test battery in control and PCS individuals, 3) to determine if performance on the comprehensive visual function test battery is in any way related to the symptoms individuals with PCS experience. Methods: Forty-four participants aged 18 - 35 were recruited. The study participant groups were as follows: 1) Healthy participants with no history of concussion (Controls; n=33), and 2) Participants with PCS (n=11). Participants completed two study visits separated by 2 - 7 days. The testing protocol of visit 1 consisted of the following visual function tests: static visual perception, objective refraction, ocular alignment, ocular motility, stereopsis, accommodative function, vergence function, cyclopean eye alignment position, and King-Devick. The testing protocol of visit 2 consisted of visual-motor integration tests including visual-motor reaction time and coincidence anticipation timing, and a test of dynamic visual perception. Results: All control and PCS participants were able to complete all of the tests at each study visit. However, the PCS participants took longer time to complete the study visits as these participants needed breaks to rest between some of the tests. Control participants did not need breaks between any of the tests. A Mann-Whitney U-test was conducted to examine the difference in visual function performance between the groups. Overall, the only difference shown between the two groups was in the ocular motility, King-Devick, cyclopean eye alignment position, and the peripheral visual-motor reaction time tests. In the ocular motility test, 30% of PCS participants exhibited irregular eye movements, whereas 0% of control participants had irregular eye movements. On the King-Devick test, the control group appeared to read faster than the PCS group (p=0.04). On the cyclopean eye alignment position test, which is a measure of global visual function, the PCS group appear to have better performance and made fewer errors in alignment (p=0.03). On the peripheral visual-motor reaction time test, the PCS group also appeared to have better peripheral reaction time than the control group (p=0.04). To examine the relationship between PCS symptom severity and visual function, a Spearman correlation analysis was conducted. For the control group, stereopsis (p=0.02), distance horizontal negative fusional reserve - blur point (p=0.04), distance vertical negative fusional reserve - double point (p=0.01), and recovery point (p=0.02) were found to be…

▼ The current study examined whether persons with a history of mTBI exhibited greater cognitive decline in response to physiological arousal than healthy controls. It was hypothesized that individuals with a recent history of mTBI would demonstrate poorer cognitive functioning at simulated high altitude than persons without such a history, and that sex and physical activity levels would moderate this relationship. Participants with a history of mTBI (n = 20) and never-injured controls (n = 28) completed two cognitive testing sessions using the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery: one at mean sea level, and one in a normobaric hypoxia chamber. Attention and executive functioning composite scores were created. Participants also completed questionnaires about their concussion history and affective change and altitude sickness symptoms.A mixed-model repeated measures MANOVA found a main effect of condition such that participants demonstrated improvements from sea level to simulated altitude (Wilk’s Lambda = 0.23; F(2, 43) = 72.87, p < .001; ηp2 = 0.77) for both attention (F(1) = 109.34; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.71) and executive functioning (F(1) = 30.16; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.41) scores. There was also an effect of concussion history on cognitive test performance overall (Wilk’s Lambda = 0.85; F(2, 43) = 3.94; p < 0.05; ηp2 = 0.16), though univariate analyses were nonsignificant when considering attention (F(1) = 1.71; p = 0.20; ηp2 = 0.04) and executive functioning (F(1) = 0.67; p = 0.42; ηp2 = 0.02) independently. Univariate interactions were observed between condition and gender on the attention composite score (F(1) = 4.51; p < 0.05; ηp2 = 0.09), such that males exhibited greater improvement from sea level to simulated altitude than did females, and among condition, group, and gender on executive functioning (F(1) = 4.58; p < 0.05; ηp2 = 0.09), such that female participants with a history of concussion experienced the least improvement from sea level to simulated altitude. Exploratory analyses found that individuals with a history of concussion experienced greater affective change than individuals without a history of concussion over time at simulated altitude (Pillai’s Trace = 0.16; F(2, 44) = 4.03; p < 0.05; ηp2 = 0.16). A univariate interaction effect among condition, concussion history, and total mood disturbance score on attention composite scores (F(1) = 11.40; p < 0.01; ηp2 = 0.21), indicated that, within the high affective change group, control participants exhibited significantly greater improvement across testing conditions than did concussion participants.Overall, this study serves as preliminary evidence for the role of stress as a modifier of cognitive functioning and affective experience after an apparently resolved concussion long after the time period that clinicians typically consider as normative for such a relationship to exist. As significant practice effects complicate these results, future research should employ alternative methodology to account for (or mitigate the impact of) practice effects and clarify the… Advisors/Committee Members: Gunstad, John (Advisor).

▼ In most cases, symptoms resolve between 7-10 days post-concussion. However, in 10-15% of the concussed population, symptoms can remain unresolved for months to years following the head injury. The purpose of this thesis was two-fold, and was broken up into two studies, where the same individuals participated in both studies. The purpose of the first study was to quantify the differences in balance control between individuals with PCS (i.e., had been experiencing symptoms for <30 days) and non-concussed individuals during a lower-limb reaching task. Participants completed a static balance assessment before and after a lower-limb reaching task, which incorporated a Go/No-Go paradigm. Results from this study revealed no differences in the static stability assessments, however, individuals with PCS demonstrated increased medial-lateral COP displacement as well as greater trunk pitch during the reaching task. Overall, the findings reveal persistent balance impairments in individuals with PCS, which may put this population at an increased risk of further injury. The purpose of the second study was to assess task-dependent modulation of cortical excitability prior to planned index finger abduction contractions comparing a non-concussed population to a population with PCS. The protocol in this study consisted of both single and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) which was applied prior to the beginning of 3 different tasks (i.e., a rest condition with no plan to contract, a precision contraction, and a powerful contraction). In addition to the three tasks, participants also had to respond to a Go/No-Go cue. The results of this study revealed an increase in excitability prior to a precision contraction in both non-concussed and PCS groups. No differences in task-dependent modulation were found between the two groups with respect to intracortical facilitation and inhibition, however a negative correlation between number of symptoms reported (SCAT3 symptom evaluation) and intracortical facilitation was revealed. The increase in corticospinal excitability prior to a precision contraction was not explained by the two cortical mechanisms we assessed and may therefore be due to spinal modulation or a different cortical mechanism. Overall, based on the results from this thesis, it appears that individuals with PCS have balance impairments, which may be a result of an inability to maximally activate their postural muscles. Furthermore, it appears that those individuals who reported a higher number of symptoms had greater reductions in intracortical facilitation, likely reflecting the heterogeneity of this clinical group.

Η υψηλή συχνότητα εμφάνισης του μεταδιασεισικού συνδρόμου μετά από ελαφριές κρανιοεγκεφαλικές κακώσεις έχει σοβαρό κοινωνικό και οικονομικό αντίκτυπο. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι να προσδιοριστούν οι προγνωστικοί παράγοντες του μεταδιασεισικού συνδρόμου. Για τον λόγο αυτό, συγκεντρώθηκαν έρευνες που έχουν γίνει κατά το παρελθόν στο εξωτερικό και στην Ελλάδα. Για κάθε έρευνα προσδιορίστηκαν κάποια στοιχεία όπως: η χώρα στην οποία έγινε η έρευνα, η χρονολογία, ο αριθμός των ασθενών που έλαβαν μέρος, η μέθοδος στατιστικής ανάλυσης καθώς και τα αποτελέσματα που καταλήγει η καθεμία. Όλα αυτά τα στοιχεία συγκεντρώθηκαν σε ένα πίνακα για καλύτερη ανάλυση. Το συμπέρασμα της έρευνας είναι ότι οι προγνωστικοί παράγοντες ποικίλουν από έρευνα σε έρευνα. Αυτό οφείλεται σε πολλούς λόγους όπως : οι πολιτιστικές διαφορές κάθε χώρας, οι διαφορετικοί ορισμοί της διάσεισης καθώς και οι διαφορετικοί τρόποι στατιστικής ανάλυσης.

The high incidence of postconcussion syndrome following mild traumatic brain injury hαs severe social and economic impact. The purpose of this study is to identify predictors of postconcussion syndrome. For this reason, gathered studies done in the past in Greece and abroad. For each study identified some elements such as the country in which the research took place, the date, the number of patients included in, the statistical analysis method and the results that ends each. All these elements were gathered together in one table for better analysis. The conclusion of the research is that the predictors vary from study to study. This is due to many reasons such as: the cultural differences of each country, different definitions of concussion and the different modes of statistical analysis.

▼ A non-trivial subset of individuals with TBI report cognitive deficits and difficulty with vocational functioning that persist for many years post-injury. Prior domain-specific approaches to measuring the relationship between cognitive deficits and vocational functioning in traumatic brain injury (TBI) have yielded mixed results. Therefore, current research must consider a more complex cognitive construct that integrates multiple cognitive domains, such as multitasking. Qualitative reports suggest that multitasking difficulty may impact vocational functioning after TBI. Experimentally assessing multitasking ability requires a performance-based assessment that approximates naturalistic environments. To date, one such assessment, the vocational multitasking test (VMT) has been developed and tested with multiple sclerosis (MS). This performance-based assessment has not yet been examined with TBI. Thus, the main aim of this study is to examine the VMT with a previously untested clinical population of TBI. Cognitive deficits in TBI may also be compounded by sleep disturbance, which is exceedingly common after TBI. In individuals with TBI, sleep disturbance impacts the cognitive domains that underpin multitasking, including memory, executive functioning, and attention. There is some research to suggest that sleep disturbance may also impact vocational functioning after TBI. However, this link has not yet been extensively studied. The current study consisted of three specific aims: 1) evaluate the psychometric properties of the VMT in a previously untested clinical population, 2) examine VMT performance in TBI compared to healthy controls (HC), and evaluate its relationship to vocational functioning, and 3) examine sleep disturbance and its relationship to VMT performance in TBI. In a sample of 5 individuals with TBI, 3 had sustained a mild TBI (mTBI) and 2 had sustained a severe TBI. VMT performance was related to measures of immediate and delayed verbal memory, problem solving, inhibition and switching, and processing speed in the TBI sample. Participants with mTBI and postconcussive symptoms (PCS) had difficulty returning to work (RTW), without measured cognitive impairment, while participants with severe TBI had cognitive impairment and difficulty with RTW. However, VMT performance was not related to vocational functioning in the TBI group. Individuals with TBI endorsed poorer sleep quality and marginally greater insomnia severity compared to the HC group, with no difference in sleepiness. Sleep variables were not related to VMT performance. Conclusions from the current study are limited by the small and unequal sample sizes. However, results indicate that RTW remains a challenge after TBI across the severity spectrum, and the VMT is a feasible task for these participants to complete. Results continue to support Morse’s (2014) findings that VMT performance requires cognitive domains that underpin multitasking ability. If future studies demonstrate that VMT performance is related to vocational functioning, the VMT could… Advisors/Committee Members: Schultheis, Maria T., College of Arts and Sciences.

Le syndrome post-commotionnel (SPC) a été proposé comme un ensemble de symptômes qui peuvent apparaître après un traumatisme crânien léger (TCL) et perdurer des semaines, des mois, parfois jusqu’à un an, engendrant des conséquences importantes sur la vie quotidienne. Des débats entourent la définition et même l’existence du SPC. Ils portent notamment sur la spécificité des symptômes (qui peuvent apparaître dans d’autres conditions, ou chez des personnes non traumatisées), et sur la validité des outils diagnostiques qui restent très hétérogènes. La relation entre le SPC et le stress post-traumatique (SSPT) est également au cœur de ces questionnements. La cohorte PERICLES permet d’apporter un éclairage sur ces questions. Elle porte sur un groupe de patients TCL ainsi qu’un groupe de patients avec un traumatisme léger dont le siège n’est pas la tête. Dans un premier temps, nous avons étudié la spécificité des symptômes en comparant leur prévalence et évolution entre ces deux groupes de patients. Nous avons ensuite tenté de définir un critère diagnostique à partir des symptômes spécifiques à l’aide de tests de corrélations et analyse factorielle. Les facteurs prédictifs du SPC ont été évalués à partir de ce critère, à l’aide d’une régression logistique. Dans un deuxième temps, les facteurs prédictifs des SPC et SSPT ont été évalués et comparés, tout comme la proximité des symptômes des deux syndromes, à l’aide d’une analyse des correspondances multiples. Huit symptômes ont été sélectionnés comme spécifiques au TCL. Un critère diagnostique a pu être défini à partir de ces huit symptômes. Le TCL a été observé facteur prédictif du SSPT (OR = 4,47 [2,38 - 8,40]) mais pas du SPC. Enfin, les symptômes du SPC présentaient une forte proximité avec les variables de la dimension « hypervigilance » du SSPT. Ainsi, le SSPT apparaît être plus spécifique du TCL que le SPC. Les variables du SPC semblent être proches de celles du SSPT. Il semblerait que le stress lié au traumatisme joue un rôle plus important dans la persistance de symptômes à long terme que le mécanisme subi par le cerveau.

Postconcussion syndrome (PCS) has been proposed as a set of symptoms that may occur after mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and continue for weeks, months, sometimes up to a year, causing a significant impact on daily life. Debates surround the definition and even the existence of the PCS. They relate in particular to the specific symptoms (which may occur in other conditions or in people not traumatized), and the validity of diagnostical tools that are very heterogeneous. The relationship between the SPCS and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is also at the heart of these questions. The Pericles cohort can shed light on these issues. It focuses on a group of MTBI patients and a group of patients with mild trauma not related to the head (controls). At first we studied the specificity of symptoms by comparing their prevalence and evolution between these two groups of patients. We then attempted to define a diagnostical test based on specific…

▼ Purpose: Rule-based visually guided movements, in which cognitive-motor integration is required, are essential for tasks in our daily lives and in sport performance. The frontoparietal-cerebellar network is essential for adequate performance on these visuomotor tasks. The purpose of these dissertation projects was to investigate the limits of our motor system, in both those with healthy brain states and those with a previous concussion, including those with persistent symptoms or post-concussion syndrome. Furthermore, we sought to better understand the effects of concussion and its association with motor performance by examining structural differences in the brain between those with post-concussion syndrome and healthy individuals. Methods: We tested elite athletes with a history of concussion, females with post-concussion syndrome, and healthy control participants on a visually-guided reaching task requiring cognitive-motor integration. Additionally, we examined structural correlates, including white matter integrity, cortical thickness and volume, and cerebellar lobule volume, in those with persistent symptoms compared to healthy controls. Results: Overall, the results of the included studies added to the body of literature in understanding visually-guided reaching and the underlying neural correlates for skilled performance. When looking at the effects of concussion, the cerebellum appears vulnerable, which may be due to its anatomical location and reciprocal relationship with the cortex. Finally, the results suggest that there may be neurological compensatory mechanisms following concussive injury, with elite athletes able to better compensate due to their existing neural efficiency. Conclusion: The results of these studies add to our understanding of the effects of concussion on the motor system, specifically in rule-based visually-guided reaching. These findings may help to improve current rehabilitation and return to play procedures following concussive injury. Advisors/Committee Members: Sergio, Lauren E. (advisor).

Dans le monde entier, des dizaines de millions de personnes sont victimes de blessures mineures et beaucoup d'entre elles sont admises aux urgences. Cela représente chaque année environ 5 millions d'admissions aux urgences en France et près de 40 millions en Europe. Depuis plusieurs années, des études suggèrent que jusqu'à 20 % de ces patients souffriront pendant des mois de symptômes chroniques décrits initialement dans le traumatisme crânien léger (TCL) et appelés ainsi « Syndrome post-commotionnel » (SPC). Aujourd’hui, ces symptômes ont été identifié comme non spécifique du TCL et la plupart des auteurs utilise le terme de « Post-Concussion-Like Symptoms » (PCLS). Une telle combinaison de symptômes peut entraîner une détérioration importante de la qualité de vie sociale et familiale ou retarder le retour au travail ou à l'école. Rien qu'en France, si les résultats décrits dans la littérature sont représentatifs de l'ensemble de la population, jusqu'à un million de personnes pourrait être concernées par cette problématique actuellement mal identifiée de santé publique.Les différents objectifs de ce travail de thèse étaient ainsi :Identifier les facteurs associés à l’apparition de « Post-Concussion like symptoms » à distance d’un passage aux urgences,Élaborer un outil d’évaluation du niveau de risque de développer ces symptômes pour les patients pris en charge aux urgencesIdentifier les interventions qui pourraient être proposer aux urgences comme moyen de prévention.Évaluer l’intérêt de la mise en place d’interventions au cours du passage aux urgences pour prévenir la survenue de ces symptômes.Nous avons retrouvé dans SOFTER 1 que les PCLS à 4 mois sont associés au stress à la sortie des urgences. Puis grâce à l’élaboration d’un outil d’évaluation du niveau de risque, nous avons montré qu’il est possible de conduire des séances d’EMDR au cours du séjour dans les urgences. L’efficacité de cette intervention semblerait en revanche influencée par de nombreux facteurs comme le niveau socio-économique des patients, leur niveau de stress et l’expérience des psychologues.Ainsi, les résultats actuellement disponibles suggèrent que les structures d’urgences pourraient être un lieu privilégié pour repérer et prendre en charge des patients fragiles, à risque de développe des PCLS. L’opportunité offerte par le passage aux urgences pourrait avoir un impact important en termes de santé publique et constituer un outil puissant de santé communautaire pour lutter contre les inégalités de santé.

Worldwide, tens of millions of people suffer minor injuries and many are admitted to emergency departments (ED). This represents approximately 5 million ED admissions in France and nearly 40 million in Europe each year. For several years, studies have suggested that up to 20% of these patients will suffer for months from chronic symptoms initially described in mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and referred to as "post-concussion syndrome" (PCS). Today, these symptoms have been identified as non-specific to TCL and most authors use the…

▼ Uvod: Traumatsko oštećenje mozga (TOM) nastaje usled dejstva spoljašnje mehničke sile na kranijum i endokranijalni sadržaj, koje se karakteriše privremenim ili trajnim neurološkim oštećenjem, funkcionalnom onesposobljenošću ili psihosocijalnom neprilagođenošću. Blago TOM je najčešće i čini između 70% i 90% svih povređenih sa TOM. Postoji veliki broj definicija ovog kliničkog entiteta, ali gotovo sve sadrže Glazgov koma skor 13-15, poremećaj stanja svesti u različitom trajanju, te posttraumatsku amneziju kao odrednice koje definišu blago TOM. Najveći broj povređenih sa blagim TOM ima dobru prognozu i potpunu rezoluciju tegoba u kratkom vremenskom periodu nakon povređivanja, bez medicinski relevantnih posledica. Međutim, jedna grupa povređenih koja navodi naglašenije i dugotrajnije tegobe koje mogu imati uticaja na ukupno zdravstveno stanje i kvalitet života. U savremenom naučnoistraživačkom radu aktuelni su pokušaji da se primenom novih dijagnostičkih metoda, detaljnim praćenjem povređenih i primenom neuropsiholoških testova objektivizuju ove tvrdnje, kako bi se pacijenti sa povišenim rizikom od nastanka dugotrajnih tegoba pravovremeno identifikovali i kako bi se mogao sprovesti adekvatan tretman. Cilj: Cilj ove studije je da se utvrditi da li postoji korelacija između kliničkih i radioloških simptoma i znakova i rezultata neuropsihološkog testiranja kod povređenih sa blagim traumatskim oštećenjem mozga, kao i da se utvrdi da li neki od od kliničkih simptoma i znakova mogu biti pouzdan prediktor pojave perzistentnih neuropsiholoških posledica, i koja je priroda moždanih oštećenja koja mogu biti u njihovoj osnovi. Materijal i metode: Sprovedeno istraživanje je u celosti bilo kliničko, prospektivno, i obuhvatilo je 64 povređena sa blagim TOM koji su u periodu od 2012. do 2015. godine hospitalizovani na Klinici za neurohirurgiju Kliničkog centra Vojvodine u Novom Sadu. Pre prijema je svim ispitanicima načinjen pregled endokranijuma kompjuterizovanom tomografijom (CT) koji nije prikazivao znakove traumatskih oštećenja kranijuma niti endokranijalnog sadržaja. U toku hospitalizacije kod povređenih su praćeni i beleženi relevantni klinički parametri. U prvih 72 sata od povređivanja je kod 37 ispitanika načinjen pregled endokranijuma magnetnom rezonancom (MRI). Kod 25 ispitanika je načinjeno neuropsihološko ispitivanje baterijom neuropsiholoških testova mesec dana nakon povređivanja i 6-9 meseci nakon povređivanja. Rezultati su unošeni u bazu podataka i nakon toga statistički analizirani. Rezultati: U analiziranoj grupi od 64 povređena sa blagim TOM kod 37 ispitanika (58%) je načinjen MRI pregled endokranijuma, a pozitivan nalaz u smislu postojanja traumom izazvanih oštećenja moždanog parenhima pronađen je kod 17 ispitanika (46%). Najsenzitivnije MRI sekvence su SWI i T2* kojima se otkrivaju veoma diskretni depoziti razgradnih produkata krvi.

▼ Objective: Recent evidence of persistent reporting of symptoms after mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) has come under question, with the suggestion that participants may be over-reporting symptoms more generally. This study set out to determine the proportion of people reporting atypical symptoms and to explore the relationship between acute (1 month) atypical symptom reporting and perceptions of recovery and experience of typical symptoms following mTBI. Methodology: Data was drawn from the longitudinal population-based Brain Injury Incidence and Outcomes New Zealand (NZ) in the Community (BIONIC) study that was conducted in the Hamilton and Waikato districts. Cases included patients who had experienced a traumatic brain injury between the 1 st March 2010 and 28th February 2011. Cases were identified from the ACC database, community healthcare services, such as general practitioners (GPs) and physiotherapists, hospital admissions and discharges, sports clubs, concussion clinics and self-referrals. Participants completed the Rivermead Post-Concussion Questionnaire (RPQ) assessment at one month (n = 261) and twelve months post-injury (n = 193), in addition to data on a series of distractor (atypical) symptoms. Typical symptoms generally relate to post-concussion symptoms, while atypical symptoms do not form part of a concussion clinical presentation. Characteristics of the sample were analysed and the proportion of participants reporting atypical and typical mTBI symptoms were explored at both timepoints. T-tests were used when data satisfied parametric assumptions; if not satisfied, the Chi square tests tested non-parametric equivalent statistics (for nominal/categorical variables). The significance level was set at p <0.05. A regression analysis determined whether increased atypical symptoms reported at one month predicted persistent symptoms and perceptions of recovery at twelve months. Results: Data was available for n = 261 participants at one month and n = 193 at twelve months. Atypical symptoms were reportedly experienced by 25% of participants at one month and 16% of participants at twelve months. Atypical symptom reporting was higher in females than males. Sex, ethnicity, atypical symptoms and typical symptoms at one month following mTBI were significantly predictive of the one-year outcome, explaining 46% in the variance in typical post-concussion symptoms and 31 % of the variation in perceptions of recovery. Conclusion: One in four people reported atypical symptoms in the acute phase (intense symptoms at one month) post-injury, which reduced over time (twelve months). However, the models did not explain all the variance in the outcome, and other factors are likely to influence outcomes from mTBI. Given links to symptom reporting and perceptions of recovery at twelve months post-injury, acute atypical symptom reporting could be a red flag to indicate those who may experience poorer long-term outcomes and require additional support to facilitate recovery.

Trauma de crânio leve (TCE leve) é definido como um déficit neurológico transitório que ocorre após um trauma incluindo história de náuseas, vômitos, cefaléia ou tontura acompanhada de alteração ou perda da consciência com duração inferior a 15 minutos, amnésia pós traumática e Escala de Coma de Glasgow entre 13 e 15. Apesar da alta taxa de sobrevida, pode cursar com alguma morbidade, principalmente nos três primeiros meses posteriores ao trauma e cerca de 18 % dos pacientes desenvolvem pelo menos uma síndrome psiquiátrica no primeiro ano após o acidente. O diagnóstico ainda é um desafio no sentido de minimizar-se gastos desnecessários com exames subsidiários entretanto, intervenções precoces podem evitar seqüelas. Nosso objetivo foi verificar o impacto do TCE leve na qualidade de vida de suas vítimas e diagnosticar as várias alterações neuropsicológicas que podem advir deste trauma. Esses alterações podem ser verificadas através de instrumentos de pesquisa. Inicialmente, foram avaliadas cinqüenta vítimas com TCE leve, atendidas no Hospital João XXIII, em Belo Horizonte - MG, as quais foram submetidas a dosagem de proteína S100B e tomografia de crânio (TCC) na admissão. Nessa fase, verificou-se que a proteína S100B tem valor preditivo negativo de 100%. Dezoito meses após o trauma, esses pacientes foram procurados em suas residências, quando foi lhes solicitado para que respondessem a quatro instrumentos de pesquisa [dois para diagnóstico de qualidade de vida (World Health Organization WHOQOL-100), e o Short Form-36 (SF-36), um para análise da presença de ansiedade e depressão (Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (EHAD) e o Questionário de Sinais e Sintomas (QSS), baseado no Post Concussion Questionnaire] com o objetivo de pesquisar a presença de sinais e sintomas da síndrome pós-concussão. Também foram pesquisados aspectos sociodemográficos, como idade, escolaridade, estado civil, renda pessoal e origem desta renda. Os mesmos questionários foram preenchidos por um grupo de controle composto, necessariamente, por coabitantes dos pacientes, sem história de trauma craniano de qualquer gravidade e com idade a mais próxima possível da do paciente. Na avaliação pelo WHOQOL-100, pacientes apresentaram qualidade de vida inferior nos domínios nível de independência, ambiente e no total de domínios (p< 0,05). Na avaliação do SF-36, pacientes revelaram qualidade de vida inferior nos domínios capacidade funcional, vitalidade, saúde mental (p<0,001), dor, estado geral de saúde e aspectos mentais (p<0,05). Pacientes apresentaram mais ansiedade e estavam uma classe acima de seus controles pela EHAD. Pacientes referem ainda número maior de sinais e sintomas da síndrome pós-concussão do que seus respectivos controles. Não verificamos correlação entre a qualidade de vida, classificação na EHAD ou número de sinais e sintomas da SPC com as dosagens de proteína S100B ou com a presença de lesão na TCC realizadas na admissão

Mild head trauma (MHT) is defined as a transitory neurological deficit that happens after the trauma and…

▼ Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) has gained increasing attention over recent years with much research directed at the nature of persisting symptoms experienced by individuals with MTBI. Owing to the subtle nature of cognitive-communicative difficulties after MTBI, as well as the lack of sensitivity of traditional assessment tools in identifying these difficulties, individuals with MTBI are seldom referred for speech-language therapy services. The need has therefore arisen for the communicative abilities of individuals with MTBI to be assessed in ways other than through the implementation of traditional assessment tools. This preliminary study, for which a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design was adopted, aimed to investigate communication following MTBI from the perspective of a spouse. The spouses of three individuals with MTBI were selected to participate in this study. Semi-structured interviews consisting of two open-ended questions were held with each spouse. The content obtained from the interviews was subjected to a discourse analysis (DA) and the themes that were identified were interpreted within the Model of Social Communication (Hartley, 1995). The results of this study revealed that each of the participants perceived changes in the communication of their spouses since the MTBI. When interpreted within the Model of Social Communication (Hartley, 1995), these communication difficulties were considered to be either the result of impaired internal processes (including impairments in executive control, stored knowledge, subcortical and limbic input or cognition) or the interaction between these impaired internal processes and the environment. The implications of these results regarding the role of the speech-language therapist in MTBI are highlighted. The potential value of the spouse, and the use of DA as both a methodological and clinical tool in the field of speech-language therapy are discussed. Recommendations for future research are made. Advisors/Committee Members: Mrs A Stipinovich (advisor).
