Pioneering Research in Traumatic Brain Injry (TBI) Unveiled at Military Health Research Forum
Colleagues,
New research on traumatic brain injury (TBI) is being presented this week at the Military Health Research Forum (MHRF), a scientific meeting hosted by the Department of Defense (DOD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP)...
... The incidence of TBI among wounded military personnel is estimated at 20%. Often called the “signature injury” of the Iraqi war, TBI can lead to a range of symptoms, including headache, confusion, behavior change, memory trouble, repeated vomiting, convulsions, slurred speech and numbness in the extremities. Studies on topics such as brain tissue regeneration, driving problems after mild TBI (mTBI), and the use of biomarkers to determine the extent of TBI are funded by the Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury Research Program (PH/TBIRP) or by the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program, both of which are programs within the CDMRP. The PH/TBIRP aims to prevent, mitigate, and treat the effects of traumatic stress and TBI on function, wellness, and overall quality of life for service members as well as their caregivers and families.
Topics studied include:
Efficacy of Countermeasures against Traumatic Brain Injuries Sustained in Airborne Operations Principal Investigator: John Crowley, M.D., U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory
Post-Deployment Driving Problems: Survey of Scope and Timeline for Post-Deployment Soldiers with and without Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Principal Investigator: Erica Stern, Ph.D., University of Minnesota School of Public Health
Injectable Hydrogels for Brain Tissue Regeneration after Traumatic Brain Injury Principal Investigator: Ning Zhang, Ph.D., Clemson University
Panel of Biomarkers Accurately Predicts the Probability of Intracranial Pathology in Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries Principal Investigator: Gerald Grant, M.D., Duke University
