  1. Interactive eBooks in educating patients and their families about head injury regardless of age

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Clinical neurology and neurosurgery 2017-03-08 Cognitive tests and assessment

    We demonstrated that interactive educational interventions are effective in the elderly TBI population.

  2. Neuronal cytoskeletal changes are an early consequence of repetitive head injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 1999-08-01 Genetics

    While neuropathological studies have established the pathology of dementia pugilistica to be similar to that of Alzheimer's disease, there is little information about the early histological changes caused by the repetitive trauma that eventually produces dementia pugilistica.

  3. Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele is associated with deposition of amyloid beta-protein following head injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Nature medicine 1995-02-01 Genetics

    Deposition of amyloid beta-protein (A beta) in the brain plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
