Описание:
Shireen is an artist, author, and blogger. She earned a B.Sc. in psychology from the University of Toronto, launched into writing and computer programming, and slammed and somersaulted into the unknown life of brain injury in the year 2000.
She emerged from the car crash still walking and talking, but the person she had been was forever gone. Although no one knew it at the time, she had sustained a concussion. The repercussions of that injury have shaped her life ever since.
Many believe a concussion is a mild injury, when in truth it is a traumatic brain injury in which the brain bangs about inside the skull. If not identified or treated within the first 48 hours, the injury can lead to secondary symptoms (euphemistically named post-concussive syndrome) that require years of rehabilitation. Traditional rehabilitation, involving cognitive therapy and rest, were ineffective. In addition to lost neurons, Jeejeebhoy was quickly losing her social connections and relationships. The concussion was threatening to cut her off from the world.
She wanted this hidden injury healed; she wanted the plethora of problems from it, especially the cognitive ones, treated. She wanted to return to society. And so began her long quest to find effective treatment. She found it and improved dramatically. In Concussion Is Brain Injury, Revised Edition, Jeejeebhoy shares this journey, her discoveries, and the latest research to give hope to those who have suffered from concussions and the people who care for them.
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.

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.
