I'm sure there is no special issue for stroke/TBI because we don't have the leadership in stroke to write up the latest research and get it out to every neurologist in the world with updated stroke protocols. In fact survivors have to do all this work themselves.
Brain Injury Special Issue Explores Sports Concussions Head-On
Brain Injury special issue highlights the latest groundbreaking sports concussion research
Sports concussions have become one of the signature public health
issues of our time, and the most discussed neuroscience issue of the
decade.
Brain Injury journal recently published a special issue
which highlights the latest groundbreaking sports concussion research.
Guest-edited by Donna K. Broshek and Jeffrey T. Barth from the
University of Virginia School of Medicine, the 15 article special issue
brings together the leading scientists and clinical experts in the field
of concussion assessment and management/treatment.
(Where are the leading experts in stroke? Are there ANY?)
“We hope to provide the latest understanding of the issues
surrounding this complex problem,” Drs. Barth and Broshek said in their
forward.
Broshek calls the research presented in the journal a “must read” for concussion experts.
“The summary of psychometric issues affecting clinical use of
computerized neurocognitive tools used in sports concussion management
is invaluable,” she said.
While professional sports garner the most attention in the public
discourse on concussion, Broshek insists that safe sports participation
in youth should be a major public health focus.
“The threat of neurologic injury in our youth and the potential
long-term sequelae has generated a level of concern that has mobilized
the general public to join the debate and seek answers.”
