American Medical Society for Sports Medicine position statement: concussion in sport.

TLDR
Sport-related concussion is a common injury in recreational and organized sport and there has been significant progress in scientific understanding over the past 30 years which has driven the development of clinical guidelines for diagnosis, assessment, and management.
Abstract
Purpose of the statement ▸ To provide an evidence-based, best practises summary to assist physicians with the evaluation and management of sports concussion. ▸ To establish the level of evidence, knowledge gaps and areas requiring additional research. Importance of an AMSSM statement ▸ Sports medicine physicians are frequently involved in the care of patients with sports concussion. ▸ Sports medicine physicians are specifically trained to provide care along the continuum of sports concussion from the acute injury to return-to-play (RTP) decisions. ▸ The care of athletes with sports concussion is ideally performed by healthcare professionals with specific training and experience in the assessment and management of concussion. Competence should be determined by training and experience, not dictated by

Returning to learning following a concussion

TL;DR: A better understanding of possible factors that may contribute to difficulties in a school environment after a concussion is provided and serves as a framework for the medical home, the educational home, and the family home to guide the student to a successful and safe return to learning.

The clinical spectrum of sport-related traumatic brain injury

TL;DR: The spectrum of acute and chronic sport-related TBI is discussed, highlighting how examination of athletes involved in high-impact sports has advanced understanding of pathology of brain injury and enabled improvements in detection and diagnosis of sport- related TBI.

Concussion, microvascular injury, and early tauopathy in young athletes after impact head injury and an impact concussion mouse model.

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.

Braced for impact: Reducing military paratroopers' ankle sprains using outside-the-boot braces

TL;DR: Among professional soccer players, performance on memory, planning, and visuoperceptual tasks were inversely related to the number of concussions incurred in soccer and the frequency of "heading" the ball.

Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and improves memory

TL;DR: It is shown that aerobic exercise training increases the size of the anterior hippocampus, leading to improvements in spatial memory, and that increased hippocampal volume is associated with greater serum levels of BDNF, a mediator of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy in athletes: progressive tauopathy after repetitive head injury.

TL;DR: This work reviews 48 cases of neuropathologically verified CTE recorded in the literature and document the detailed findings of CTE in 3 professionalathletes, 1 football player and 2 boxers.

The spectrum of disease in chronic traumatic encephalopathy

TL;DR: The frequent association of chronic traumatic encephalopathy with other neurodegenerative disorders suggests that repetitive brain trauma and hyperphosphorylated tau protein deposition promote the accumulation of other abnormally aggregated proteins including TAR DNA-binding protein 43, amyloid beta protein and alpha-synuclein.
