  • Publication number: 20220244274
    Abstract: Disclosed here is a method of detecting traumatic brain injury in a subject, comprising collecting a biological sample from the subject; analyzing the biological sample to determine the level of at least one protein selected from ALDOA, PHKB, HBA-A1, DPYSL2, SYN1 and/or CKB; and determining whether the level of the at least one protein exceeds a predetermined threshold. In certain aspects, the method further comprises the step of administering a treatment to the subject if the at least one protein exceeds the predetermined threshold. The disclosed technology relates generally to brain injuries, and in particular to a panel of serum based biomarkers that can identify individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).

  • Publication number: 20070091265
    Abstract: An Optical Imaging Device of Retinal Function has been developed to detect changes in reflectance of near infrared light from the retina of human subjects in response to visual activation of the retina by a pattern stimulus. The measured changes in reflectance correspond in time to the onset and offset of the visual stimulus in the portion of the retina being stimulated. Any changes in reflectance can be measured by interrogating the retina with a light source. The light source may be presented to the retina via the cornea and pupil or through other tissues in and around the eye. Different wavelengths of interrogating light may be used to interrogate various layers of the retina. Additionally, various novel patterns and methods of stimulation have been developed for use with the imaging device and methods.
