Astrocytes and Brain Injury [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2003
Astrocytes are the most numerous cell type in the central nervous system. They provide structural, trophic, and metabolic support to neurons and modulate synaptic activity. Accordingly, impairment in these astrocyte functions during brain ischemia and other insults can critically influence neuron survival.

Prevention Strategies of Traumatic Brain Injury in Football Players [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this project, we study the effects of the impact angle during a helmet-to-helmet collision on stress distribution and deacceleration values of the brain tissue in efforts to reduce brain injuries for football players.

Data-driven decomposition of brain dynamics with principal component analysis in different types of head impacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Strain and strain rate are effective traumatic brain injury predictors. Kinematics-based models estimating these metrics suffer from significant different distributions of both kinematics and the injury metrics across head impact types. To address this, previous studies focus on the kinematics but not the injury metrics.

Horse riding – related injuries from the point of view of a neurosurgeon

open access: yesJournal of Education, Health and Sport, 2022
Horse riding (equestrianism) is a very old form of physical activity, and today it has become a very popular sport and recreation. Similarly to other sports, equestrianism carries potential risk of injuries, most often caused by a fall from a horse back.
