TL;DR: Evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a tau protein–linked neurodegenerative disease, was found that was similar to the CTE neuropathology observed in young amateur American football players and a professional wrestler with histories of concussive injuries.

TL;DR: Using neuropathological analyses of brains from teenage athletes, a new mouse model of concussive impact injury, and computational simulations, Tagge and colleagues show that head injuries can induce TBI and early CTE pathologies independent of concussion.

TL;DR: Recommendations for research that addresses important gaps in the evidence in all areas of COPD were formulated via discussion and consensus, and the types of research that leading clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates believe will have the greatest impact on patient-centred outcomes were highlighted.

TL;DR: This ATS/ERS Research Statement highlights the types of research that leading clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates believe will have the greatest impact on patient-centered outcomes.
