Neuropathologic and Clinical Findings in Young Contact Sport Athletes Exposed to Repetitive Head Impacts

Ann C. Mckee, Jesse Mez, Bobak Abdolmohammadi, Morgane Butler, Bertrand Russell Huber, Madeline Uretsky, Katharine Babcock, Jonathan D. Cherry, Victor E. Alvarez, Brett Martin, Yorghos Tripodis, Joseph N. Palmisano, Kerry A. Cormier, Caroline A. Kubilus, Raymond Nicks, Daniel Kirsch, Ian Mahar, Lisa Mchale, Christopher Nowinski, Robert C. Cantu, Robert A. Stern, Daniel Daneshvar, Lee E. Goldstein, Douglas I. Katz, Neil W. Kowall, Brigid Dwyer, Thor D. Stein, Michael L. Alosco

Summary: This case series found that young contact sport athletes exposed to repetitive head impacts are at risk for long-term neuropathologic disorders, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Regardless of CTE status, these young brain donors exhibited high symptomatic rates, and the causes of symptoms are likely multifactorial. Future studies involving young brain donors unexposed to repetitive head impacts are needed to clarify the associations among exposure, white matter and microvascular pathologic findings, CTE, and clinical symptoms.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE): criteria for neuropathological diagnosis and relationship to repetitive head impacts

Ann C. McKee, Thor D. Stein, Bertrand R. Huber, John F. Crary, Kevin Bieniek, Dennis Dickson, Victor E. Alvarez, Jonathan D. Cherry, Kurt Farrell, Morgane Butler, Madeline Uretsky, Bobak Abdolmohammadi, Michael L. Alosco, Yorghos Tripodis, Jesse Mez, Daniel H. Daneshvar

Summary: There has been a significant increase in scientific research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in the past 17 years. CTE has been diagnosed in hundreds of contact sport athletes and others through postmortem examination, and there is a strong causal relationship between repetitive head impacts (RHI) and CTE. The neuropathological features of CTE are unique, and the NINDS-NIBIB criteria have greatly advanced the diagnosis of CTE.

Summary: Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative tauopathy associated with repetitive head impacts (RHI). The relationship between the components of RHI exposure and CTE pathology remains unclear. Using American football helmet sensor data, this study finds that duration of play, cumulative head impacts, and linear and rotational accelerations are significantly associated with CTE pathology.

Brian D. Stemper, Alok Shah, Rachel Chiariello, Cassandra McCarthy, Kristin Jessen, Bailey Sarka, Jack Seifert, Matthew D. Budde, Kevin Wang, Christopher M. Olsen, Michael McCrea

Summary: This study aimed to develop a rodent model to investigate the effects of repetitive subconcussive head impact exposure on cognition and emotion, and to understand the mechanisms and tolerance for such injuries. The results showed that rats with high exposure demonstrated cognitive deficits, anxiety-like behaviors, and histopathological evidence of injury, while rats with moderate exposure did not exhibit these behaviors. Blood serum levels of axonal injury biomarkers also showed a dose-response relationship with increasing numbers of exposures.

Diffusion Imaging of Sport-related Repetitive Head Impacts-A Systematic Review

Inga K. Koerte, Tim L. T. Wiegand, Elena M. Bonke, Janna Kochsiek, Martha E. Shenton

Summary: Repetitive head impacts (RHI) commonly occur in athletes participating in contact sports, and epidemiological studies suggest a link between RHI exposure and increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) shows promise in detecting subtle changes in brain microstructure following RHI. A systematic review of 17 studies found an association between RHI exposure and white matter alterations in youth and young adult athletes, with decreased fractional anisotropy (FA) being the most consistent finding.

Divya Jain, Colin M. Huber, Declan A. Patton, Catherine C. McDonald, Lei Wang, Hasan Ayaz, Christina L. Master, Kristy B. Arbogast

Summary: There is concern that repetitive head impact exposure (RHIE) may lead to neurophysiological deficits in adolescents. This study investigated the effects of RHIE on neurofunction in high school soccer players using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and cognitive assessments. The results suggest that greater RHIE is associated with increased cortical activation during challenging tasks, indicating the need for further study on the long-term effects of RHIE.

Cerebral blood flow is associated with matrix metalloproteinase levels during the early symptomatic phase of concussion

Nathan W. Churchill, Alex P. Di Battista, Shawn G. Rhind, Doug Richards, Tom A. Schweizer, Michael G. Hutchison

Summary: Concussion may lead to disrupted cerebral blood flow, with varying individual responses. Higher levels of MMP-2 and MMP-3 were found to be correlated with lower global CBF in concussed individuals. There is also spatial specificity in the relationship between MMP levels and CBF, particularly in the occipital, parietal, and temporal lobes.
