Former Dallas Cowboy fullback

Participated in the studies and helped recruit other players to take part in research led by Nyaz Didehbani, PhD, from the Center for BrainHealth at the University of Texas at Dallas. The study used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and showed a relationship between white matter damage and depression in former football players. More specifically, of the 3 depressive symptoms that were assessed (affective, cognitive, and somatic), the researchers found that the cognitive factor was significantly correlated with concussions (r = 0.63; P< .001).

She has a second job for which she is the manager of the physical therapy department in a medical care facility. She spoke unfavorably of her second job, however. Diane said she does not like the system in place there, “it’s disorganized and has a lot of obstacles everyone has to push through, plus I don’t like the traditional medical field anyway.” Unfortunately Diane’s position does not entail the restructuring of systematic procedures for greater efficiency. Diane would not choose this managerial profession again. But what keeps Diane going is her passion for helping people & relating with them.…

    After contacting Bobak Abdolmohammadi, research assistant at the Boston University CTE Center, of the brain samples donated to the center, around eighty percent are of former football players. His opinion echoes, based upon the findings at BU, that it is the cumulative exposure to repetitive head impacts that is most likely the main explanation behind CTE. He believes it is clear that something must be done to help solve this issue at the basic foundational level. In conclusion,the injury rate in the sport of football in relation to a child/adolescent’s vulnerability to physical injury creates a very precarious situation for a child participating in tackle football. With a high risk of physical injury for a child and the injury rate of football, those constant injuries can develop into overuse injuries like concussions.…

    According to Ken Belson of The New York Times (2014) one in three NFL players is affected by brain trauma. The New York Times has also stated that NFL players are eight times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s or dementia than the general population. The NFL has come across a rise in concussions over the past decade. Over the past three seasons there have been over 690 recorded concussions throughout the league. Not only are current players being affected, but so are retired players. 87 of 91 deceased NFL players were found to have Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE, after years of concussions and hits to the head during their NFL careers. CTE is a brain disease with symptoms of memory loss, aggression, confusion,…

    September 28, 2002. No this isn’t the day that Title IX came into play, or the day that Roger Bannister ran a four-minute mile, or the day that LeBron James decided he would leave the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat. This is the day that we would see an NFL legend, Mike Webster, laying on an autopsy table at the Allegheny County coroner’s office in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The significance of this day? After this day, the world of football would be turned upside down. Webster died of heart failure, but there was more to it than what met the eye. Webster was the first confirmed case of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). CTE is defined by the Brain Injury Research Institute as, “a degenerative brain disease most commonly found in those who have suffered multiple concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (Omalu What is CTE?).” In this essay, I will explore CTE and what the NFL has-or rather has not-done to help its players in order to determine if football does cause CTE. Under the microscope, you can see CTE as a “buildup of tau, a…

    Last year, the NFL revealed that it expects nearly a third of retired players to develop permanent brain impairments.” While other games may be dangerous in some aspects football is known for specifically the concussions it causes.We need to take this seriously because many kids are eager to get back and play again even after having gotten a concussion, so they can help their team. However they don’t realize that the injuries sustained when playing football can later lead to long term issues. Also ⅓ of the retired NFL players having to develop permanent brain impairments is a lot of people.Just think of all the football players in the NFL you knew, almost 33% of them needed to get impairments simply so tehri brain can actually work fine and they can live.

    In seventh grade I used to be in marching band. I had done band in sixth grade as well, but this year it was marching band. I played the clarinet and I was pretty good at it. In the middle of the school year we had a parade that our band had to march in. It was something that I had never done before, so I was a little bit apprehensive about doing it. People who who were new to marching band like me were referred to as “newbies”, which wasn’t very many people. During marching band practices all of the “newbies” were put in the back because we didn’t really know what we were doing. Over time all the newbies got better, but that didn’t seem to apply to me. I could keep tempo and play my instrument while marching in sync with everyone and I would…

    Multiple concussions can leave you with CTE. CTE is the disease that takes control of the way you think, and act. In retired NFL players, the most common symptoms were mood disorders, memory loss, paranoia, poor insight/judgement, outbursts of aggression, irritability, confusion, and reduced concentration. Professors of Boston University posted a journal about CTE. They studied 5 retired football players. 4 of the 5 suffered a tragic death, and 2 committed suicide. One died from an accidental gun wound when cleaning a gun. The other died in a high speed police chase. All of these players all played similar positions, 3 offensive linemen, a defensive linemen, and a…
