After more than half a century, assessment of acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) is getting a makeover. A newly proposed framework expands assessment of acute TBI beyond the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ...

The Forum on Traumatic Brain Injury hosted a 1-day workshop exploring biomarkers to more precisely and objectively diagnose and categorize a suspected TBI, better guide and monitor treatment after ...

Jessica Gill's mind is on the move. A second ago, mired in scientific jargon, she was dropping names of biomarkers associated with brain activity, injury, and disease: proteins like GFAP, SNAP-25, ...

Blood biomarkers taken within an hour of injury signaled the presence of CT lesions and the need for 24-hour neurosurgical intervention with high accuracy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) ...

The levels of biomarkers GFAP, UCH-L1, and MAP-2 are significantly elevated within 30 and 60 minutes of traumatic brain injury (TBI), thereby facilitating early diagnosis. GFAP demonstrates the ...

Clinicians say the proposed framework will lead to more accurate diagnoses and treatment, providing more rigorous care for some patients and preventing premature discussions about halting life support ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh discovered a promising new biomarker of "complicated" mild to severe pediatric traumatic brain injury, or TBI.

A new study has demonstrated that a tiny bundle of optical fibers can continuously, accurately, and simultaneously measure six biomarkers of brain health, helping to prevent serious complications that ...
