Description

It has long been known that repetitive head injuries are associated with long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae including the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Participants in popular sports such as American football, hockey, wrestling and boxing are at high risk of sustaining multiple head injuries. The recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have also brought this problem of repetitive head injuries to the forefront, as hundreds of service members are returning home with history of head injuries. A lot remains to be learned about the biological mechanisms and management of repetitive head injuries. For example the relationship between repetitive head injuries and the development of neurodegenerative conditions is being actively investigated. Similarly, the role of other factors such as age, gender, genetic predisposition and sports-related issues (e.g. type of sports, level of competition, duration of play, positions) in the development of neuropsychiatric sequelae are under study. The term chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) has received a lot of attention and extensively covered and described by the media as a ‘progressive degenerative disease found in individuals with multiple head injuries’. However, adequately powered prospective observational cohorts are lacking, underscoring the potential for bias in reported cases. There is a need for more research in the field of repetitive head injuries to identify biological markers associated with bad outcomes. This conference will address some of these issues through a panel of clinicians and scientists recognized for their work in this field.

Objectives

After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:
  • Identify populations at high risk for sustaining repetitive head injuries
  • Recognize the clinical phenotypes and pathology of repetitive head injuries
  • Outline epidemiology and mechanisms of neurodegeneration following Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Describe models of head injury and mechanisms of neuroplasticity.

Who Should Attend

This activity is intended for health care professionals and researchers working in athletic training, critical care medicine, emergency medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, nurse practitioners, nursing, occupational therapy, pediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, physician assistants, psychiatry, psychology, sports medicine, trauma surgery, and military medicine
