"Australian researchers have for the first time diagnosed a female athlete with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative brain disease caused by repeated head injuries, in a finding which will have major implications for women’s sport.

The Australian rules footballer and Adelaide premiership player Heather Anderson died in November 2022 at the age of 28, with her unexpected death the subject of an ongoing coronial investigation." #sport #concussion #CTE #ChronicTraumaticEncephalopathy #BrainInjury #BrainDamage #health #medical #dementia #medicine #Brain #Australia #AustralianRules #RugbyLeague #football #research #science

"What I would also like to see is the medal raise further discussions around #CTE,’’ added Amanda [Paul Green's wife].
"We can’t lose another life like this because it’s just devastating.
“I still have days where I can’t believe we’re where we’re at.
“A day doesn’t go by where I just wish I knew then what I now know about CTE.
“I didn’t even know CTE existed."

"#CTE is a disease of exposure," Professor Alan Pearce from #Latrobe University said.
"We have a lot of players who might have had one or two concussions, but they're likely to have had probably 20,000 or 30,000 smaller hits.
"That's not just in #football, or #rugby, but you know it's in other sports as well. It's in the military, we've even got concerns about domestic violence.
"We [researchers] have never been about anti-sport or anti-football or rugby or soccer … the message we are trying to get across is that we want to have a safer sport," Professor Pearce said. #concussioninsport #concussion #chronictraumaticencephalopathy #sport #athlete #mTBI

Just about the only image from my two series' about #CTE (#ChronicTraumaticEncephalopathy) that doesn't prompt the 'sensitive' button. The rest are on my uni blog (https://conboyhillpracticeandresearch.wordpress.com/) #OCA #Painting #Level3 #SoftPastels

In today's news we at the #AustralianSportsBrainBank are calling for more professional National Rugby League (NRL) players to pledge their brains for science. Understanding #CTE can only be done through post mortem analysis. The late Paul Green was suspected that he had mental illness, but this was not the case (despite having symptoms of mental illness). A reason why we need more funding and support for this work. #Science #Research #ChronicTraumaticEncephalopathy #Neuropathology

Some doctors with links to #sport bodies look like they are in denial about the links between #concussion and #BrainDisease. Is this the sort of denialism we've seen before about #smoking and #ClimareChange in the past?

"A [concussion in sport] conference rule allows just 7 of the 29 writers to block language in the [consensus] statement, potentially creating another barrier to the group agreeing to phrasing that links head trauma to #chronictraumaticencephalopathy (C.T.E.). The consensus-statement writers include many doctors who do not specialize in degenerative brain disease yet advise the National Hockey Leage, Australian Football League and other leagues." #CTE #concussioninsport #braininjury #sport #nfl #afl #Fifa #ioc #worldrugby #nrl
