  • Patent number: 12461112
    Abstract: Methods, compositions and kits useful in the detection, assessment, diagnosis, prognosis and/or treatment of brain injuries, especially mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion, are based upon detection of changes in levels of certain protein biomarkers in a subject undergoing testing, or upon detection of changes in levels of certain protein biomarkers in conjunction with neuroimaging analyses to detect changes in vascular or blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability in the brain, or to detect damage to fiber tracts in the brain, in which changes in biomarker levels correlate with detection of changes in BBB permeability or in brain fiber tract or white matter damage in a subject with brain injury such as mTBI or concussion.

  • Publication number: 20250155455
    Abstract: Methods, compositions and kits useful in the detection, assessment, diagnosis, prognosis and/or treatment of neurological injury or disease or brain injury, such as traumatic brain injury (TBS), are provided in which certain newly discovered protein biomarkers are detected in a biological sample of a subject undergoing testing or evaluation. The methods allow for detection of changes in levels, amounts, or concentrations of the protein biomarkers in a subject compared with those of controls. Detection of the protein biomarkers, and/or levels thereof, provides an indication of biological and biochemical events, e.g., at a cellular level, which are occurring in the subject who is undergoing testing or analysis for the neurological injury or brain injury.

  • Publication number: 20230238143
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining diagnostic and/or prognostic risk of having or developing brain injury related symptoms after a head impact includes a point-of-care assay reader, a PHI smart device application, and a neurocognitive/vestibular smart device application. The diagnosis and prognosis server application includes instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium executed on the server that receives patient protected health information (PHI) from the PHI smart device application, receives neurocognitive test results from a neurocognitive testing application, and receives assay results from the point-of-care assay reader and generates a diagnostic score and a prognostic risk scores for post-acute traumatic brain injury TBI symptom categories as measures of patient outcomes.
