Comprehending concussion: evolving and expanding our clinical insight.
CASTING THE NET WIDE The current consensus definition provides a broad clinicopathological description of concussion. It encompasses the wide range of clinical presentations that result from traumatic forces transmitted to the brain. In its most literal interpretation, any post-traumatic symptom or sign fits the definition of concussion. Consequently, the current definition has high sensitivity...

area where the ice shelf transitioned from ground support to free floating, the ice sheet grounding zone system (Science (2014) 345, 1354–1358). From their observations, the researchers concluded that the collapse was caused by the rising surface temperatures rather than by some instability of the grounding system. The authors write that their finding “adds to the scenario of instability now fa...
متن کاملMucosal impedance discriminates GERD from non-GERD conditions.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Current diagnostic tests for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are suboptimal and do not accurately and reliably measure chronicity of reflux. A minimally invasive device has been developed to assess esophageal mucosal impedance (MI) as a marker of chronic reflux. We performed a prospective longitudinal study to investigate MI patterns in patients with GERD and common non...
