Description
Gershon Spitz leads a large team in testing blood marks for mild brain injury in older adults. The paper is from two thousand twenty-six. A mild knock to the head is common in this age group but hard to call, since its signs blend with those of age. Blood tests could help, yet older adults are scarce in past studies.
They enrol adults past sixty at a trauma centre in Melbourne, plus healthy peers with no recent harm. Four blood proteins are read against a strict clinical call of injury. All four run high in the injured group. One, GFAP, sorts injury from no injury with top marks. The set may also sort the grey zone of suspected cases.
