An Examination of the Correlation between Advancements in TBI Research and the Long-Term Health Outcomes of High-Risk Populations: The Use of Biomarkers vs. Symptom Assessment
Author(s): Hillary Dodyk*
Historically, assessment for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has
been dependent on the subjective collection of selfreported
symptoms. However, developments in
neurophysiology have identified unique biomarkers that
correlate with concussive injury and imaging modalities that
allow for visualization of changes to the Blood Brain Barrier
(BBB). This review will examine the utility of these novel
identifiers as an objective option for acute evaluation and
their potential contribution to treatment planning... View More»
