Concussions are a brain injury characterized by the onset of cognitive or physical functioning of a person according to article 3. Excerpt 3 also states that the causes of concussions are from a blow to the head, neck, face or even body. When you get a concussion short term effects include head aches, dizziness and even depression; (excerpt 1) , while long term effects include behavioral changes, mood disturbances and cognitive difficulties (excerpt 2). One concussion usually leads to short term

What Happens To The Brain During A concussion Ok, what is a concussion? “A blow or jolt to the head can disrupt the normal function of the brain. This is called a brain injury, or concussion”. The brain is, in many ways, the body’s best-protected organ. Besides the skull, it is shielded by multiple layers of membranes located just beneath the skull that block out harmful molecules from entering the brain. During an impact, the brain is pushed against the inside of the skull and can be bruised

Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) represents the most common type of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Even though this type of TBI is called “mild”, the effect on the family and the injured person can be devastating. Concussions can be tricky to diagnose and there is no specific cure for concussion. There is growing recognition and some evidence that mild mechanical trauma resulting from sports injuries, military combat, and other physically engaging pursuits may have cumulative and chronic

The main stream of blunt trauma injuries has been reported to be related to the automobile crashes, sporting activities, and military operations. Glass splinters, which induce due to car accident, earthquake, gunshot, etc., may collide with the eye and trigger substantial scarring and, consequently, permanently affect the vision. The results of this collision with the eye and the following injuries to different components of the eye are complicated to be diagnosed by ophthalmologists. The objective

The concussion rates among high school, collegiate, and professional athletes is increasing at an alarming rate. The United States alone reports 1.6 to 3.8 million cases of sport-related concussions per year2-4, 9, 12. The 1.6 to 3.8 million does not account for the large number of concussions that remain unreported by athletes2-4, 9, 12. According to McCrory et al., a concussion is defined as a complex pathophysiological process that disturbs the brain, which is prompted by traumatic biomechanical

Abstract Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading public health concerns in America (USA), as well as, globally, with an occurrence of over 23 million worldwide, 5.8 million in the USA and increasing. HF causes extensive debility and deaths and poses a heavy burden on the healthcare system, costing USA, over $32 billion in treatment and management annually (Bui, Horwich, & Fonarow, 2011). The aim of this paper is to evaluate how Lenz & Colleagues’ Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms (TOUS) can be utilized

(McCrory, Johnston, & Meeuwisse, 2005). Based on current research, findings show a relationship between academic performance and student athletes suffering from post concussion symptoms (Baker et al., 2015; Ransom et al., 2015; Swanson et al., 2017; Wasserman, Bazarian, Mapstone, Block, & Wijngaarden, 2016).

What’s Got You Weak in the Knees? A Look at the Dangers of Leg Weakness You may not realize how little conscious thought walking or moving takes until you are in a position where your lower body mobility is affected by a medical condition.

About a month ago, I was playing a basketball game and I took a hard hit, from an elbow to the back of the head. I kept playing in the basketball game, because I didn't think that anything bad had happened to me. I had not realized that I had a concussion, until I threw up[ outside about twenty-five minutes after the game. All my friends, and my family told me I needed to go to the hospital, but I did not want to waste money. I decided to go to the health services department that Bradley University

to the head. Athletes who receive a concussion should be required to sit longer than a day or two, this will allow them to recover and heal properly. This should apply to not just children either, adults should be required as well. People that are post concussion are considered more susceptible to receiving another concussions. Evidence that backs being susceptible to another concussion is that the brain is vulnerable to more injuries and further complications to the concussion originally received
