  1. Application of P7C3 Compounds to Investigating and Treating Acute and Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurotherapeutics : the journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics 2023-08-31 Biomarkers

    Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading worldwide cause of disability, and there are currently no medicines that prevent, reduce, or reverse acute or chronic neurodegeneration in TBI patients.

  2. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in collision sports: Possible mechanisms of transformation into chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Metabolism: clinical and experimental 2019-11-01 Biomarkers

    TBI arising from closed head trauma (CHT) significantly increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

  3. Linguistic and Cultural Acceptability of a Spanish Translation of the Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury Identification Method Among Community-Dwelling Spanish-Dominant Older Adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation 2019-09-06 Cognitive tests and assessment

    This linguistically optimized Spanish translation of the OSU TBI-ID is recommended for use as a semistructured interview among Spanish-dominant older adults.

  4. Neuroprotective Effect of Artesunate in Experimental Model of Traumatic Brain Injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in neurology 2018-07-31 Biomarkers

    Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are an important public health challenge.

  5. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be a significant risk factor for development of neurodegenerative disorders such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), and Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD) diseases.

  6. Mild traumatic brain injury is associated with reduced cortical thickness in those at risk for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2017-03-01 Genetics

    Moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury is one of the strongest environmental risk factors for the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as late-onset Alzheimer's disease, although it is unclear whether mild traumatic brain injury, or concussion, also confers risk.

  7. Blockade of Astrocytic Calcineurin/NFAT Signaling Helps to Normalize Hippocampal Synaptic Function and Plasticity in a Rat Model of Traumatic Brain Injury

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2016-02-01 Biomarkers

    Increasing evidence suggests that the calcineurin (CN)-dependent transcription factor NFAT (Nuclear Factor of Activated T cells) mediates deleterious effects of astrocytes in progressive neurodegenerative conditions.

  8. Screening of biochemical and molecular mechanisms of secondary injury and repair in the brain after experimental blast-induced traumatic brain injury in rats

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurotrauma 2013-06-05 Biomarkers

    Ascorbate, LMWT, and protein thiols were reduced at 2 and 24 h; by 24 h, HNE was increased.

  9. Traumatic brain injury and amyloid-β pathology: a link to Alzheimer's disease?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Nature reviews. Neuroscience 2010-05-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has devastating acute effects and in many cases seems to initiate long-term neurodegeneration.
