Repeated hits, not concussions, cause CTE

Goldstein and his colleagues from Boston University evaluated the brains of four deceased athletes, ages 17 and 18 years old. All four had died within a day to four months of receiving some sort of sport-related head injury and had a history of playing football.

In all four brains, there were already changes to the brain that could be indicators of CTE, including leaky blood vessels and abnormal buildups of the protein tau.

Some of these changes in the brain occurred as early as 24 hours after injury. Goldstein said one of the cases could be diagnosed as early-stage CTE.

What researchers found under the microscope was striking, said Goldstein. “We’re seeing the earliest pathology soon after one of these injuries,” he said.

The four specimens were compared to brains from four other athletes of similar age who had not experienced any recent head trauma before death. The brains in this group had no changes in their pathology.

When I die, I am going to donate my brain to Science.

They can use it for a door stop.

Sorry, I’m not following this. The headline announces the danger as repeated hits. But the study is talking about four very young men who died as a result of a traumatic blow to the head.

Given their age and the outcome of the event, this doesn’t sound like “repeated” hit being the culprit in these cases. The history of playing football would be irrelevant if a discreet event was so serious as to lead to death. For example, if you were in an auto accident and some truck smashed in to you and squished your skull, whether you played youth football or not would not be relevant.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
