Good morning,
Has your child had a concussion or suspected concussion before? Have you ever noticed them struggling in school days after their injury? If so, you're not a lone. A lot of parents have wondered when their children will return to "normal" and stop exhibiting symptoms of the concussion. Now thanks to researchers at The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda there is a new saliva test that can help determine just that.
"A saliva test could greatly improve care for
young people who don't have obvious symptoms of a concussion, says Manish Bhomia, an adjunct assistant professor at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md.'
"A lot of children get mild concussion and oftentimes it goes ignored," he says.A reliable lab test would help ensure that children who have a head injury don't go back to school, or to the soccer field, before their brain has healed, Bhomia says.
And microRNAs offer a promising way to assess concussions in adults as well as children, says Bhomia, whose research involves a range of "biomarkers" for traumatic brain injury."
