Sport concussion 2010
This document provides an overview of sport concussions including:
- The purpose is to raise awareness of concussions, decrease their number, and provide information on management and prevention.
- It discusses common signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, recovery models, return to play protocols, and neuropsychological testing.
- Key points emphasized are that concussions are serious injuries, athletes should be immediately removed from play if a concussion is suspected, and return to play decisions should not be made until cleared by a medical professional.
Concussions in high school athletes case study presentation
In the Fall of 2014 I worked as as Athletic Training Student with High School athletes. During this time I evaluated a large amount of athletes with head injuries. This intrigued me to go about research on the topic of concussions.
A Look at Concussions
This document discusses concussions, including what they are, their causes and symptoms, treatment, and prevention. A concussion occurs when the brain collides with the skull, causing temporary loss of brain function but not being life-threatening. They are caused by hits to the head and affect thinking, physical, emotional, and sleep functions. High contact sports like football and hockey present greater risk. While not curable, concussions are treated with rest, and multiple concussions increase long term risks like CTE, which can cause depression, dementia and memory loss. Proper safety equipment and guidelines for return to play can help reduce risks.
Concussion in Sport
This document provides an outline for a presentation on concussion in sport. The presentation aims to familiarize practitioners with evaluating and managing concussions, from sideline assessment to return to play protocols. It discusses updated definitions of concussion, signs and symptoms, sideline evaluation tools like SCAT5 and King-Devick testing, and clinical management best practices. The presentation also covers topics like post-concussion syndrome, vestibular rehabilitation, return to learn protocols, and controversial issues like chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
H Sgp
This document discusses concussions in sports. It defines a concussion as a brain injury that can cause headaches or unconsciousness. Concussions are caused by blows to the head from contact with objects or other players. Many sports are discussed where concussions commonly occur, such as football, soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. The document outlines symptoms of concussions and treatments, noting that repeated concussions or failing to treat one properly can lead to serious issues. It seeks to dispel myths about concussions and advocates for education and improved safety equipment to help prevent them.
Advice for Avoiding Injury in Youth Sports
The document provides advice for avoiding injury in youth sports. It outlines several tips that parents can follow to lessen the frequency and severity of injuries, including encouraging open communication so that kids report any pain, enforcing warm-up routines before practices and games, allowing for adequate rest after activities, ensuring hydration by providing water, and emphasizing proper technique to minimize technical mistakes that could lead to injury.
Presentation: Best Gaming Glasses to Protect your Eyes from Blue Light
The document discusses the harmful effects of blue light from screens and recommends using computer gaming glasses that filter out blue light to protect eyes. It reviews 6 top gaming glasses options for blocking blue light while gaming or working, including models from J+S Vision, Gunnar Optiks, Bukos, GAMEKING, Swanwick, and Duco. The benefits of gaming glasses include blocking up to 100% of harmful blue light, increasing contrast, and some include magnification. Not all gaming glasses are the same as dedicated sleeping glasses which typically use amber lenses to block the full light spectrum. Gaming glasses can benefit both gamers and computer users, and clip-on models allow use with prescription glasses.
Ethics Concussion
A concussion is an invisible brain injury caused by a blow to the head that cannot be detected by scans. Symptoms include memory loss, headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Concussions can negatively affect players long after they retire from the sport and frequently lead to long-term health problems. While precautions like improved equipment, rules against blindside hits, and education are in place, concussions remain common due to the physical nature of contact sports and the difficulty of controlling every action that occurs during games.

Global Perspective for Oil and Gas in Energy Policies
Global energy demand is expected to increase over the next 20 years as the world population grows. Fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal will continue to make up the majority of global energy consumption, around 80% by 2035. Many countries and companies are dependent on fossil fuel imports to meet domestic energy needs. Turkey in particular relies heavily on imports to meet over 80% of its oil demand and nearly 100% of its natural gas demand. To improve energy security, Turkey and other countries will need to encourage domestic production and exploration activities as well as securing reserves internationally through state-owned and private companies.

Francisco de Goya-María Rivas Antunez ESO Valles de Gata
Francisco de Goya fue un pintor y grabador español nacido en 1746 en Zaragoza. Desarrolló un estilo pictórico que inauguró el Romanticismo y supuso el inicio de la pintura contemporánea. Realizó importantes encargos reales y eclesiásticos a lo largo de su carrera, que abarcó géneros como el retrato, la pintura de historia y la sátira. En 1824 se trasladó a Francia, donde falleció en 1828.
Head and Corner Stone
Jesus gave Simon Peter a new name that sounded very similar to the name of Caiaphas, the high priest at the time. This was likely a deliberate comparison by Jesus, as the rules of grammar in Aramaic and Hebrew allowed for direct comparisons by using words that began with the same hard "K" sound. Jesus was promising that Peter would have the same prominent role in the new order as Caiaphas had in the old order. When Jesus said He would give Peter "the keys of the kingdom," this was a reference to a passage in Isaiah about transferring authority from one leader to another using the symbolism of keys.

Sports injuries and the law
This document provides information about head and neck injuries, specifically traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). It discusses brain anatomy, types of injuries including concussions, signs and symptoms, prevention strategies, and laws regarding sports injuries. Treatment for TBIs may include medications, surgery, and long-term therapy. Injuries can have damaging effects and affect the whole family. Local resources are available to support recovery. The story of William Dottery, who became paralyzed after a football injury, is shared as an example of recovering from injury through determination and by founding Dream Walkers, a non-profit organization.
Concussion
The document discusses concussions, including their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. A concussion is a brain injury that temporarily interferes with brain function and is usually caused by a blow to the head. Symptoms can be physical, like headaches, or mental/mood changes. While most concussions heal with rest, medical advice should be sought if symptoms are prolonged or severe. The standard test to diagnose a concussion is a CT scan of the brain. Treatment focuses on rest, and complications may include prolonged symptoms or increased risk of neurological disorders.
Concussions
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or hit to the head that causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull. This results in chemical changes in the brain, and symptoms may include headache, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. While often called "mild" injuries, concussions are serious and cannot be seen on x-rays or CT scans. Athletes who have previously sustained a concussion are at greater risk for future concussions. Proper diagnosis and a gradual return to activity under medical supervision are important for recovery.

While headaches are usually nothing serious, they should be evaluated by a doctor if they persist for days or weeks or are accompanied by neck pain. Migraines, which cause recurring headaches, are a neurological disorder diagnosed and treated by a neurologist. In most cases, headaches can be avoided by reducing stress, taking breaks, and maintaining proper ergonomics.

The document describes the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 2 (SCAT2), which provides a standardized method for evaluating athletes aged 10 and older who have sustained a concussion. The SCAT2 enables medical professionals to calculate scores for sideline concussion assessment, including the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) and Maddocks questions. It includes sections to evaluate symptoms, physical signs, balance, coordination, cognitive function, and delayed recall through tests of orientation, immediate and delayed memory.

Sports and Concussions
- 1. Sports and Concussions Preventing Concussions in Sports Start With the Right Equipment Everyone should wear properly fitting, sport-appropriate headgear and safety equipment when playing contact sports or biking, rollerblading, skateboarding, snowboarding, or skiing. You can't prevent every concussion. But helmets, mouthguards, and other safety gear can reduce the risk of a brain injury. Play it Safe Headgear is your first line of defense. But you can still get a concussion because helmets don't stop injury from happening on the inside. If you hit your head, your brain can still bang against your skull, even if you're wearing a helmet. Don't take chances because you think your headgear protects you. This is one reason why there are rules in sports. Learning the right technique and developing the skill to avoid dangerous plays can make all kinds of injuries less likely to happen. When Concussions Happen If you hurt your head while playing a sport, stop playing immediately. A coach should know to take you off the field. But if you don't have a coach, or your coach doesn't pull you from play, take yourself out of the game. If you're skiing or snowboarding, get the ski patrol to help you down the hill. If you're skateboarding or biking, stop riding. Don't take a chance on hurting your head again. A second head injury can lead to a condition called second-impact syndrome. Second-impact syndrome doesn't happen very often, but it can cause lasting brain damage and even death. If you hurt your head playing organized sports, a coach or athletic trainer may examine you right
- 2. after your injury. This is known as sideline testing because it might happen on the sidelines during a game. Sideline testing is common in schools and sports leagues. By watching you and doing a few simple tests, a trained person can see if you need medical care. Lots of schools or sports leagues test players at the start of a sports season to measure their normal brain function. These tests are called baseline concussion tests. Coaches, trainers, or doctors often compare these baseline results against sideline tests to see if a player's brain is working OK. If you were playing a sport and banged your head but didn't do anything about it when it happened, be alert for signs of a concussion. Concussions don't always show up right away. It can take up to 3 days for signs to become obvious. See a doctor as soon as you can if think you might have a concussion and develop any of these problems: headache dizziness feeling sick or throwing up difficulty with coordination or balance blurred vision slurred speech or saying things that don't make sense feeling confused and dazed difficulty concentrating, thinking, or making decisions trouble remembering things feeling sleepy having trouble falling asleep sleeping more or less than usual feeling anxious or irritable for no apparent reason feeling sad or more emotional than usual http://kidshealth.org/teen/homework/sports/concussions-sports.html
