New 'National Sports Brain Bank' Will Boost Head Injury Research
FRIDAY, May 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- A new brain bank is accepting future donations from living athletes, in an effort to perform long-term research into the effects of sports-related concussion.The National Sports Brain Bank (NSBB) at the University of Pittsburgh will track the health of living participants on an annual basis, and will autopsy their donated brains after their death.“We want to follow prospective donors longitudinally while they're still alive and get information from them about their sports participation, trauma, history, other medical history, any symptoms they may experience,†said NSBB Director Dr. Julia Kofler.“We can then correlate their clinical information with what we see down the road under the microscope, at the time of autopsy,†she said.Two...

AHA News: The Brain Isn't the Only Place a Stroke Can Occur
19 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 19, 2023 (American Heart Association News) -- Sudden, painless loss of vision. Burning back pain. Achy legs. Incontinence.People might not recognize these as signs of a stroke, because some are not the symptoms of a stroke in the brain, where most strokes occur. But strokes can happen in other parts of the body, too, said Dr. Matthew Schrag, an assistant professor of neurology and vascular neurologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.Sudden, total vision loss in one eye may signal a stroke in the eye. Back pain, aching legs and incontinence, along with paralysis, weakness and loss of pain or the ability to feel temperature, signal a stroke in the spine. Though rare, these strokes, just like those in the brain, are serious and require immediate...

Exercise No Threat to People With an Inherited Form of Enlarged Heart
19 May 2023
FRIDAY, May 19, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- People with the rare heart disorder hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) can safely engage in vigorous exercise, according to new research.This finding could lead to fewer activity restrictions for people with this condition, which involves the heart muscle becoming thickened and enlarged.HCM is an inherited disorder that affects about one in 500 people worldwide. It is associated with sudden cardiac death in young people. Yet the U.S. National Institutes of Health-funded study found that those who exercised vigorously are no more likely to die or experience severe cardiac events than those who exercised moderately or not at all.“Based on these data, we’re learning that we don’t need to universally restrict HCM patients from participating in...
