Concussion injury among athletes continues to be a subject of great concern. Increasing attention and research is focusing on the most vulnerable of athletes--children. What strategies can be taken to best protect young athletes in sports from grammar school football leagues to high school hockey and soccer teams from concussion? How do we treat youngsters who suffer head injuries in sports? What are the ethical considerations in allowing children to play such sports, given the risks to still-developing brains?
In this updated and expanded guide, William Meehan, MD, explains simply and clearly how coaches, parents, and others who work with young athletes can recognize concussion; best help children and youths recover from concussion injuries; and take steps to become proactive to prevent concussion. Readers will learn what causes a sport-related concussion; what happens to brain cells during a concussion; and why concussion, which in the past was dismissed as a trivial injury, is taken so much more seriously now. The book explains how to decrease the risk of concussion; addresses the potential for cumulative effects from multiple concussions, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy; and discusses the ethical dimensions of deciding whether an athlete with multiple concussions should continue to participate in high-risk sports.

Описание:
Concussions are increasing in incidence each year, and each state has a law on management of concussions in children. These factors strengthen the need for primary care providers to be well-versed in the evaluation and management of them. This text provides primary care physicians and clinicians with an evidence-based yet practical approach to diagnosing and treating concussions in children and adults.
The book begins with a general overview of concussions. It then goes on to identify risks, signs and symptoms of concussions. Next, physicians and providers learn when and how to perform appropriate physical exams for suspected concussions. The following chapters focus on finding the correct type of testing to perform in suspected concussions. The testing options addressed include diagnostic, neurocognitive and imaging. Return-to-learn and return-to-play recommendations are then discussed to ensure that providers are able to properly educate patients on them. The book concludes by explaining post-concussion syndrome and identifying methods to prevent concussions and complications in the future. Each chapter presents a specific case along with 3-5 followup questions as well as a summary of key concepts.
Written from the unique perspective of a primary care physician who also specializes in sports medicine and concussions, Concussion Management for Primary Care is a first-of-its-kind book that serves as a valuable resource for primary care physicians, sports medicine physicians and any other clinician treating patients suffering from a possible concussion.

Описание: This ground-breaking text, informed by twenty-first century advances, updates the definition, pathophysiology, late effects, and therapies for concussion. Readers will gain a state-of-the-art understanding of the acute neurobiological changes after a concussive brain injury, and an explanation for the high frequency of long-term neurobehavioral changes.
Описание: Chapter 1: IntroductionChapter 1 takes the form of an overall introduction. It first sets the background of the concussioncontroversy and highlights its related public health and legal issues. It then focuses more specifically on theresearch question, scope of the research and need for harmonisation. It finally states the book, itsoriginality, significance and methodology, as well as the structure and arguments invoked. Chapter 2: Medical ChapterChapter 2 provides a general medical overview of sports concussion, with a special emphasis on thecurrent state of medical science and the medical (treatment and management) guidelines published bymedical organisations and other related groups. Initially starting from the definition of concussion, it then examines the question of symptoms and levels of concussion, together with other related issues (such asreturn to play decisions). Difficulties related to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of concussion arethen presented. There follows a description of the second-impact syndrome and the potential long-termeffects associated with multiple instances of concussion. The chapter ends with an outline of the future keymedical-related challenges. It shows that medical science is the starting point of the actual enquiry, butcould also potentially be part of the solution. The medical (treatment and management) guidelines are vitalto the science. Both elements could inform and contribute to the development of an internationalstandard, such as the ISC. Chapter 3: National Case StudiesChapter 3 consists of national case studies, which describe and analyse the current regulation of sportsconcussion. It collects, examines and analyses the data obtained from the different countries and sportsselected. The national case studies focus on selected professional team sports and countries which have a history of, or potential for, CTE and litigation: United States (American football, ice hockey, football, baseball, waterpolo); Canada (Canadian football); Australia (rugby, Australian Rules football); Switzerland (football, icehockey); Brazil and England (football). Chapter 4: General TrendsChapter 4 identifies, briefly evaluates and summarises the common themes, good practices and existingshortcomings resulting from the data collected in chapter 3. A series of tables is compiled to assist in thistask. This chapter demonstrates that the concussion controversy (CTE cases, litigation) has recently manifestedon a large scale. It then highlights some emerging good practices as well as perceived shortcomings, andthereby indirectly exposes the means by which the concussion issue could be better regulated worldwidefrom legal and public health perspectives. Chapter 5: Harmonised ReformsIn view of these findings, chapter 5 adopts an innovative two-step approach.In the first section, this chapter seeks further guidance by examining the harmonised regulatorymechanisms that have been successfully introduced in doping, match-fixing and spectator violence, all ofwhich involve international arrangements.This chapter argues that despite its disciplinary nature and other characteristics specific to doping, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) system must address similar issues as a regulatory system forconcussion. Chapter 6: ConclusionChapter 6 concludes that a harmonised approach across sports and legal systems would be the mostcompellin
