Salena Zito finds doctors' "cure" for veterans/footballers concussions
Jack Kemp
An
article by the great political writer who specializes in visiting small town
America, often in Pennsylvania, Salena Zito writing in The Washington Examiner,states that doctors research has lead to the
invention of a collar to keep more blood in the brain to counteract the
effect of concussion causing traumas to the head. The article is long
and explains the medical research in terms a layperson can understand, but I thought it needed a jump to quotes from the important concluding sentences written here up front. The full article can be found here. There is a photo of the collar in the article.
QUOTES FROM THE CONCLUSION...
Dubbed the Q-Collar after eight years of clinical trials and
peer-reviewed medical trials in May, Q30 Innovations... submitted a request for de novo classification to
the Food and Drug Administration, seeking authorization to market the
Q-Collar in the United States.
... Tested over
5,000 times, it consistently applies approximately 1.5 pounds of
pressure to the surface of the neck and doesn't move or slide on the
neck.
While still unavailable in the U.S., it has been used by Canadian Football League players,
and Q30 Innovations is also working with the U.S. Army Medical Materiel
Development Activity to study whether U.S. service members at risk of
traumatic brain injury should use the collar.
A Veterans Affairs study conducted by the Mid-Atlantic Mental Illness Research, Education, and
Clinical Center found that Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who suffered
multiple traumatic brain injuries were about twice as likely to report
suicidal thoughts than veterans who suffered one concussion or none at
all.

Thanks Jack; that's a good news story indeed! Hopefully this works and will become a standard in the NFL as well as college leagues.
