Sports-related Head Injury Concussion is the historical term representing low velocity injuries that cause brain “shaking” resulting in clinical symptoms and which are not necessarily related to a pathological injury. Concussion is a subset of TBI and the term concussion will be used in this document. It was also noted that the term commotio cerebri is often used in European and other countries. Minor revisions were made to the definition of concussion and it is defined as follows: Concussion is a brain injury and is defined as a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by biomechanical forces.

Learn more about Bartonella henselae B. henselae (formerly Rochalimaea henselae) is a small Gram-negative rod, which causes several syndromes that sometimes overlap. B. henselae causes cat-scratch disease but, like B. quintana (see below), also causes a wide range of clinical diseases including bacillary angiomatosis, peliosis hepatis, lymphadenitis, bacteremia and aseptic meningitis. Cats are the main reservoir of B. henselae and the bacterium is transmitted to cats by the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis).

What is a concussion? Video narrated by Concussion Legacy Foundation CEO Dr. Chris Nowinski. A concussion is a serious injury to the brain resulting from the rapid acceleration or deceleration of brain tissue within the skull. Rapid movement causes brain tissue to change shape, which can stretch and damage brain cells.

Large Hadron Collider The 2-in-1 structure of the LHC dipole magnets. The LHC is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. The collider is contained in a circular tunnel, with a circumference of 27 kilometres (17 mi), at a depth ranging from 50 to 175 metres (164 to 574 ft) underground. collider is a type of a particle accelerator with two directed beams of particles. In particle physics colliders are used as a research tool: they accelerate particles to very high kinetic energies and let them impact other particles.

Medical Dictionary A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull.Although there may be cuts or bruises on the head or face, there may be no other visible signs of a brain injury.n rare cases, concussions cause more serious problems. Repeated concussions or a severe concussion may lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning, or speaking. Because of the small chance of serious problems, it is important to contact a doctor if you or someone you know has symptoms of a concussion.

A Review of Pterostilbene Antioxidant Activity and Disease Modification Pterostilbene (trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxystilbene) is a natural dietary compound and the primary antioxidant component of blueberries.It has increased bioavailability in comparison to other stilbene compounds, which may enhance its dietary benefit and possibly contribute to a valuable clinical effect.verall, blueberries and pterostilbene exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticarcinogenic effects in models of CLD and liver cancer. The compound may afford clinical protection in a broad range of benign and malignant liver conditions through amelioration of OS and related hepatocyte pathology.

Brain Penetration (a work in progress) The brain is protected from xenobiotic agents by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a network of capilliaries lined by endothetial cells characterised by lack of fenestrations and very tight junctions between the cells.ne potential beneficial effect might be that it allows improved drug access to the CNS. Treatment of brain tumours can be of limited efficacy due to the impact of the blood-brain barrier impeding drug access, it has been shown that a hyperosmolar mannitol infusion can disrupt the blood-brain barrier DOI.

Chimeric antigen receptor Tisagenlecleucel (CTL019) is a CAR-T cell therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Many leukemias are caused by uncontrolled growth of B cells. B cells have a protein on their surface called CD19. T cells are taken from the patient and treated to make them attack B cells.

Pneumonia - Adults (Community Acquired) Ketolides are a new class of antibiotic drugs. They are derived from erythromycin and were developed to combat organisms that have become resistant to macrolides. Telithromycin (Ketek), the first antibiotic in the ketolide class, was approved by the FDA in 2004 for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). In February 2007, the FDA withdrew approval of Ketek for the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis.

- Mitoxantrone, an anthracenedione related to the anthracycline antibiotics, has shown promise in veterinary medicine for treatment of lymphoma and various carcinomas. The mechanism of action of mitoxantrone is similar to that of the anthracyclines, but most side effects are less severe than those of doxorubicin.

- Amifostine. Amifostine is a drug we use at CTCA to protect against dry mouth and other common side effects of radiation therapy for lung cancer. When tumors lay close to the salivary glands or esophagus, as is often the case in lung cancer, radiation therapy may be absorbed by these healthy cells.

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a degenerative brain disease that results in behaviors similar to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, according to researchers, CTE has a clear environmental cause (repeated brain trauma) rather than a genetic cause. In other words, CTE is the only preventable form of dementia.
