#mtbi functions

[teaonastro]

I am so fucking glad I never corrected d4rkpluto/aphrodicci on her one MBTI post where she claimed Ni was an emotional function when everyone literally has a separate function just for how they think and feel. 🙄 My MBTI nerd-ass was biting at the bit to say something. Even now I feel the need to over explain why she made no sense.

Thankfully I held my tongue because I know now that she would have bullied me off the damn platform if I even tried to engage in a conversation. I can’t find the post anymore, but she got pushback by several people in the reblogs and the replies(rightfully so too because it’s a preposterous claim to make) and when she clarified what she meant, her tone was extremely passive aggressive so I also never said anything because of that. I’m glad I clocked that red flag early on.

To be frank, I’m the MBTI anon who brought up how she’s probably an ENTJ and I have more to say on that but I’ll save it for a more organized breakdown. This is just me connecting the dots between her behavior towards astrosky and that old MBTI post from the past based on what’s been confirmed about her through the asks and Niya(Niyah?) as well. Crazy how you can always catch an ENTJ in their tyrannical pattern.

Your dedication to the MTBI of it all sends me. We actually were cracking up the other week at Neptune’s place. Wondering if she’d had beef with other MTBI bloggers since it seems that she starts conflict everywhere she goes. We’d love to know the deets, admittedly it’s kind of intriguing to see her pattern. And thank you again for sharing this, we’re huge fans.

History [tw for references of abuse, parental death and murder]

Parker considers his history to be one of objectivity. He can tell you, with some encouragement due to his introverted nature, that he was born prematurely. That his mother suffered from post-partum psychosis, though his father never elaborated. That a severe illness as a toddler rendered him deaf in one ear and heard of hearing in the other. That he was quiet in school, separated from his peers by a barrier he didn't know was erected, let alone how to lower it. Conversations were sparse, and most of his spare time was with his nose in a book as an insect he found would walk along his shoulders.

He could tell you that mother Eris had soft hands when she cradled his face after he would get hurt as a child, falling from a height or carelessly knocking into a piece of furniture due to delayed motor responses. She wondered why he never cried, why he never laughed or expressed fear. He could tell you that father Osborne was largely dismissive, referring to Parker as a machine who performed his functions well. How his mouth was full of teeth sometimes, and the clever look in his eye as he regarded his child with cruel ambition.

Although... he couldn't tell you about the gaps in memory. He couldn't tell you where the scars on his back came from, thin and trailing. He never questioned them, so he supposed they didn't matter. He didn't discuss the scars, or the lingering feeling that there was something dancing in the corner of his eye on occasion only for there not to be anything once his father passed away.

Osborne Wright was the surly groundskeeper of the notorious Roseland Estate, something Parker followed closely behind and settled into the position at the young age of 18, just out of high school. He could tell you that some called it savant syndrome, while his mother would say it was an effect of the spectrum. Regardless, Parker did the job and did it well, working steadily and reliably, and with a quiet dignity.

His relationship with the Walsh's was one of professionalism and he kept the family at a respectable arm's length; he wasn't one of them, which was okay. He still interacted with the children on occasion, clipping flowers and rescuing frogs for and from tiny, grabbing hands. He had only been inside the house a handful of times, mostly when the Walsh's were too pressed for time to hire someone to fix their superficial malfunctions.

Parker was there the night of the murder.

It wasn't that he couldn't, but rather he wouldn't tell you about that night, about the paranormal investigators he saw coming and going from the residence before. He wouldn't tell you about his alibi, his innocence having been proven that night and the next day. How the images that flickered in his mind were more persistent, but surely just a side-effect of his subconscious desire to continue his work on the abandoned estate.

Extras *** He's never seen without an old, worn leather utility belt around his waist. It contains a lot of little loops and pockets and it appears as though it's been severed once and subsequently stitched back up. When he's not holding or doing anything, his hands are usually rested on his belt. *** His special interests are bugs (umbrella term but particularly likes spiders, scorpions, centipedes and butterflies), plants (as a whole; he loves all of them) and reptiles (especially alligators) and will unintentionally talk about them way more than other topics if unchecked. *** A bad case of meningitis as a child left him nearly deaf in one ear and with hearing issues in the other. He hates asking other people to repeat themselves, but he also hates not hearing what others say and it's not uncommon for him to turn his head to hear better. *** Social etiquette isn't his strong suit and his attempts at making small talk are awkward as a result. He also has a very muted sense of humour and will often remark that he understands when someone makes a joke or is using sarcasm to indicate that it's been acknowledged. He doesn't laugh, but he does smile on the rare occasion. *** He's actually a very talented singer and his voice carries well. He's just quiet and tends to speak in monotone. He does not perform well in front of a crowd or gathering and avoids busy social scenarios. Plants are so much quieter.

Wanted I || The "Acquaintance+" - As he's a workaholic and pretty shy, Parker doesn't really engage with others on a level that's commonly understood and given his strange and narrow interests, Parker has acquaintances but not really anyone to call "friend". He's not above having them, but he wasn't exactly raised with having them in mind, thinking that he works better as someone for others to use and then discard when he's ceased being useful to them. He's not offended by this; rather, he doesn't seem to understand what about him would be appealing to someone else. That could be your character!

Wanted II || The Man Beneath the Machine - Parker is, in all ways but physical, a machine. He performs a series of functions, does his job well, and that's all is expected of him. He doesn't call his hobbies "hobbies". That's where your character comes in. Whether it's a patient, gentle prying of that shell to reach the heart beneath the mechanics or a persistent thorn in the side reaching that humanity by way of being a nuisance, he's getting up there in age and he's been existing but not truly living.

Wanted III || The Challenge - Despite all his introverted qualities, he's very proud of his work and always strives to do better. That Estate has the best-trimmed bushes in Antioch. He can dig a grave better than the guy at the cemetery. He needs a critic, whether constructive or otherwise, to push what he can do. It's not to prove someone wrong (or is it?) but it's to help him improve.

Wanted IV || The Nuisance - With a temperament, strange hobbies and flat manner of speaking like Parker's, it's understandable for someone to think that he's actually some sort of criminal. Is he a killer hiding in plain sight? He can and will say "no" but for some reason, your character isn't keen on believing him.

Concussions occur when a sudden impact or jolt to the head or body causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull. This movement can damage brain cells and disrupt normal brain function. Concussion therapy assesses and manages the physical and cognitive impacts of a head injury, mTBI, or whiplash. Physiotherapists in Cambridge use evidence-based techniques to help you return to normal activities gradually and safely. https://tinyurl.com/yte4ypcx

MTBI and Depression Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs as a result of force to the skull or brain. The probability of receiving a TBI is increased if one is participates in a number of sports such as professional football in the National Football League (NFL) and in a number of vocations such being in the military. The results of a TBI include a number of cognitive and emotional symptoms (McCrea, 2008). One of the most common emotional sequale of TBI is depression. This paper argues that depression associated with mild TBI (mTBI) is a public, not personal concern. Traumatic Brain Injury A TBI occurs when there is damage to the brain as a result of an application of an external mechanical force (Parikh, Koch, & Naraya, 2007). All TBI's fall under the label of head injury, whereas not all head injuries result in a TBI (McCrea, 2008). The most common types of external forces are some type of impact (usually from or with another object), acceleration and/or deceleration forces that result in the brain being moved about within the cranium, or actual penetration by some object. When a TBI occurs the brain functions are permanently or temporarily disrupted. The extent of any actual structural damage to the brain may not be detectable evident with the current scanning methods depending on the severity of the TBI. A non-traumatic brain injury would not involve the application of external mechanical force to the head such as having a stroke or a brain disease. The classification of a TBI is most often based on one of three factors (Parikh, Koch, & Naraya, 2007): (1) the severity of the injury as rated clinically from behavioral data, (2) the anatomical location or the features of the damage (e.g., frontal TBI or diffuse axonal injury), and (3) the type of mechanism involved which are typically divided into either closed head injury (no brain penetration) or penetrating head injury (brain penetration by means of an object of some type breaching the cranium). The severity of TBI classification is most often broken down into three different categories: mild, moderate, and severe TBI (McCrea, 2008). However, there are several different classification criteria that are somewhat different in the criteria designed to categorize a particular level of severity. The three most commonly used criteria for classifying TBI severity are (McCrea, 2008): 1. The score of a clinical measure known as the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), which is a clinician rated tool that grades the level of consciousness of the person with the injury on a scale of three to fifteen. The scoring of the scale is based on verbal responses, motor responses, and eye-opening reactions (Parikh, Koch, & Naraya, 2007). 2. The presence and duration of a loss of consciousness (LOC). 3. And the presence and duration of post traumatic amnesia (PTA), which occurs when the person with the TBI has difficulty recalling relevant personal facts and temporal information. GCS scores are generally consistent throughout rating systems with a score of 13 or greater designating a mild TBI (mTBI), 9-12 moderate, and a score of eight or less as a severe TBI (Parikh, Koch, & Naraya, 2007). The other two criteria can vary considerably depending on the system; however, the Department of Veterans Affairs uses a duration of PTA of less than a day and an LOC of up to 30 minutes for mTBI (Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs. 2008). Part of the difficulty with the Department of Veterans Affairs criteria is that penetrating head injuries that are quite severe structurally may not produce a significant LOC or PTA. The Effects of mTBI Typically mTBI is referred to in lay terms as a concussion. Concussions are not uncommon in contact sports such as football and with veterans (McCrea, 2008). For example, McCrea (2008) reports results of a health survey of retired NFL players: 61% of all respondents reported experiencing a concussion, the mean number of concussions during their career was 2.1, but 24% of the respondents sustained three or more concussions over their career and 71% reported returning to play on the same day. Sixteen percent believed that the concussions had permanent effects. With respect to military personal Finkel, Yerry, Scher, and Choi (2012) reported that in 2010 alone over 2500 individuals in the armed forces received an mTBI. One of the most common occurrences following an mTBI is post concussion syndrome (PCS; McCrea, 2008). PCS symptoms consist of headaches, memory loss, fatigue, depression, and other symptoms. It has been estimated to occur in between 30-80% of those having an mTBI (McCrea, 2008). The neuropathology of PCS is difficult to describe because most cases of mTBI do not have positive physical findings in the brain. However, while in 85% of PCS sufferers the symptoms abate within a year, 15% still display cognitive and emotional difficulties more than a year following their mTBI. Depression is common in these individuals (McCrea, 2008). The symptoms and even the diagnosis of PCS have generated some controversy, with some claiming that PCS is a psychiatric manifestation and not a legitimate organic disorder. However, the symptom profile is consistent across individuals and PCS is a serious concern for many clinicians who treat TBI (McCrea, 2008). Depression in mTBI The depression in mTBI tends to involve more irritability and atypical features at first but eventually is indistinguishable from depression in other individuals (McCrea, 2008). While some may wrongly believe that the depression associated with an mTBI in former athletes such as NFL players and in veterans is a personal issue, especially those that believe that these individuals knew the risks of the situations that predisposed then to getting an mTBI, this view is quite short sighted. The depression associated with mTBI is a public health concern. There are several reasons for this: 1. Depression is a serious mental disorder that is characterized by an wide-ranging decrease in mood which is often accompanied decreased low self-esteem, a loss of interest or decreases in pleasure in normally enjoyable activities, decreases in productivity, health issues, and a risk for suicide (Sadock & Sadock, 2007). 2. In the United States the probability of having a major depressive episode within any given year is three to five percent for males and eight to ten percent for females (American Psychiatric Association , 2000). Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that major depression, regardless of the etiology, is nearly twice as common in women as men (APA, 2000). 3. People with depression are 30 times more likely to successfully commit suicide than people who are not depressed. Depressed people are also five times more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol (Hawton, 1992). 4. People with depression are significantly more likely to develop other kinds of health issues and make numerous visits to doctors, clinics, and emergency rooms (Sadock & Sadock, 2007). 5. Clinical depression is the principal cause of medical disability for people in the age range of 14 to 44 years of age (Stewart et al., 2003). 6. People with depression lose 5.6 hours of productive work for every week they are depressed; half of this productivity loss is due to increased absenteeism and increased use short-term disability. In any 30 day period employed depressed workers will use 1.5 to 3.2 more short-term disability days than nondepressed people (Stewart et al., 2003). 7. Up to 80% of those who are depressed are significantly impaired in their daily functioning (Sadock & Sadock, 2007). 8. Overall, depression results in to an average of seven fewer weeks of work each year, a 20% loss of potential income, and a lifetime loss of an estimated $300, 000 for each family that has a family member with depression (Smith & Smith, 2010). 9. The cost of depression from increased usage of medical services and lost productivity has been estimated at more than 83 billion dollars each year, which exceeds the cost of the war in Afghanistan (Greenberg, et al., 2003). But this is not a fixed cost as these costs reoccur year after year and rise as the cost of medical treatments rise and wages increase. The battle with clinical depression has been an ongoing war that clinicians and policy makers have recognized as difficult -but potentially winnable. Thus, clinical depression is considered a public health concern and not just a personal matter. The reduction in the quality of life of depressed people, their families, and others around them combined with the tremendous economic burden that depression forces on society is enough to make everyone concerned about the effects of clinical depression. The cost of untreated depression represents is widespread and spreads to people in all walks of life and people at every level of society and affect nearly every person and every family in America. Still, some might argue, as mentioned above, that athletes and ex-military personal were well aware of the situations that they placed themselves in prior to their predicament. Depression as a result or as a symptom of mTBI or PCS is a personal issue, not a societal one. Let us review the facts: 1. The depressive symptoms that occur in PCS are virtually identical to the depressive symptoms associated with other mental disorders or even depression associated with terminal medical conditions (Silverberg & Iverson, 2011). 2. There no known study that can identify the depression in PCS as being distinct from the very same clinical depression that is so costly to society. 3. Smokers with lung cancer often develop depressive symptoms (Sadock & Sadock, 2007). The medical profession would be ridiculed and punished if these patients were told that their cancer is a personal concern and that lung cancer is not a public concern. Likewise, their depression, which is directly related their use of a substance, could have been avoided if they did not contract cancer. Would anyone argue that lung cancer or related symptoms are a personal and not public issue? Hopefully not. 4. Similarly any number of public health issues such as addiction, HIV, heart disease, diabetes, and many others represent costly medical conditions to society that could easily be prevented or lessened by simple lifestyle changes in those who suffer from them. Few would argue that these conditions are personal and not public concerns. 5. The depression associated with the above medical conditions would also be a public concern and not simply a personal matter. 6. Therefore, the depression that occurs in those with mTBI is also a serious public concern. In conclusion, a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a defined clinical syndrome that results from trauma to the brain, often referred to as a concussion. One of the consequences of living with an mTBI is developing post concussion syndrome (PCS). PCS, while somewhat controversial, includes a number of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms. Emotional symptoms often consist of depression. Some might take the position that the symptoms resulting from PCS represent a personal concern for the patient, and therefore the depression associated with PCS is not a public health concern. However, this paper has demonstrated that the depression in PCS is no different than clinical depression as a mental health issue. Moreover, other public health concerns such as ling cancer are not considered personal concerns because they could have been avoided by a personal decision on the part of the patient. Clinical depression is a public concern due to the vast costs it extracts from society. Depression, no matter what the origin, is a public health concern.

Tracking the Recovery of a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patient utilizing a 60-s Combined Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Psychomotor Testing Approach: A Case Study by Dr. Cory M. Smith in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Abstract

Identifying and tracking the recovery of patients with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) has remained elusive due to the lack of non-invasive, objective neuroimaging techniques. The purpose of this case study was to provide a proof of concept for performing a combined functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and 60-s psychomotor vigilance testing (60-s PVT) that can identify and track the recovery of a patient with a mTBI. The patient was a 19-year-old female acrobatics and tumbling athlete who was kicked in the left temple by a teammate. Video footage of the injury was utilized to determine the region of impact and weekly fNIRS and 60-s PVT assessments were performed throughout the 10 weeks of recovery. The patient was cleared for activity based upon symptoms at week 7; however, the patient reported increased symptomology during weeks 7 and 8 following exercise. Our fNIRS neuroimaging technique was able to detect the systemic physiological responses associated with mitochondrial dysregulation and oxygen extraction fraction at weeks 1 to 8. Based on our findings, the patient remained injured at week 8, and that the physical activity performed at weeks 7 and 8 may have regressed recovery and induced additional dysfunction resulting in increased recovery time. In conclusion, we were able to identify and track the recovery of our patient with a mTBI using our non-invasive combined fNIRS and 60-s PVT approach. Results provided real time physiological responses associated with the injury throughout the recovery process.

Introduction: Identifying and tracking the recovery of patients with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) has remained elusive due to the lack of non-invasive, objective neuroimaging techniques and that each injury may be unique in its severity, signs and symptoms.1 This present case provides an overview of a novel utilization of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) combined with a 60-s psychomotor vigilance test (60-s PVT) for the monitoring of a patient with a severe mTBI. fNIRS examines the hemodynamic responses in brain tissue by using specific wavelength light absorbance rates to quantify the oxygenated (O2Hb), deoxygenated (HHb), and total hemoglobin (tHb) within a targeted region of the brain.2–4 mTBI’s with associated cerebral damage (e.g., cerebral hemorrhage), require increased nutrient exchange to heal causing greater blood flow to the damaged region when under load.5–8 Furthermore, following a mTBI, moderate to severe cognitive tasks are often contraindicated as they induce a worsening of symptoms.9–11 As a result, complex screening tools may induce greater severity scores immediately following a mTBI or place the patient at increased risk of adverse events such as headaches, nausea, or malaise.12,13 The 60-s PVT utilized in this case study mildly stimulates the major regions of the brain through visual, motor, and cognitive stimuli to induce a hemodynamic shift over the damaged region which would otherwise be undetectable.14,15 To our knowledge this is the longest published tracking of the recovery of a patient with an mTBI using fNIRS following injury onset.16–18 In addition, the present case is novel in that neuroimaging began within 72-hr from the onset of injury, weekly tracking was performed, and the exact time and location of injury was established through video footage of the injury’s occurrence which allowed for precise neuroimaging and tracking of the patient during their recovery. 

Our fNIRS technique is ideal for real-world monitoring as it is not as impacted by movement or environmental conditions as the traditionally used electroencephalograms (EEG). In addition, fNIRS is more portable than functional magnetic resonance imagining (fMRI) techniques which are costly and cannot be performed on the field during sporting events.5,19 The fNIRS technology has been shown to have greater spatial resolution than EEG, similar to that of fMRI.2,4,20,21 In addition, fNIRS has slightly lower temporal resolution than EEG, but much greater than that of fMRI. Thus, the portability and unique blend of spatial and temporal neuroimaging resolution makes the use of fNIRS ideal for identifying and tracking mTBI in real-world environments.2,4,20,21 However, previous studies using fNIRS have shown mixed results in its ability to identify mTBI’s.17,18,22–24 We hypothesized that these conflicting results were the result of methodological approaches that included unoptimized post-processing neuroimaging data fusion and mTBI-specific analysis algorithms for regional injury determinations.17,25,26 Furthermore, other fNIRS studies have utilized O2Hb hemoglobin measures in their statistical analyses. However, many studies have reported HHb and tHb as more robust in detecting alterations in cognitive load and neuroplastic changes.3,18,27,28 Therefore, the purpose of this case study was to provide a proof of concept for performing weekly fNIRS (O2Hb, HHb, and tHb) and 60-s PVT monitoring of a unique mTBI patient suffering from severe symptoms. 

Methods

Patient: The patient was a 19-year-old female acrobatics and tumbling athlete. Prior to enrollment in college, the patient had a history of concussions with prolonged recovery periods. During a synchronized tumbling pass the patient was kicked in the left temple by a teammate, followed by hitting her forehead on the mat during landing. Immediately following the impact, the patient presented with signs and symptoms (e.g., headache, altered mental status) warranting a referral to an emergency department (ED) for further evaluation. At the ED a head computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed that the patient was suffering from a severe mTBI. However, results of the CT scan did not identify a skull fracture or hemorrhaging. An assessment completed by the school’s medical staff after being released from the hospital found the patient was suffering from headaches, visual disturbances, and disorientation. Further, neurocognitive testing revealed substantial deficits in processing speed, reaction time, and executive functioning. The patient was then re-evaluated the day after the initial injury where she reported headaches, disorientation, and fatigue.

In total, the patient was symptomatic for 10 weeks following injury. Video footage of the injury was utilized to determine the region of impact and weekly neuroimaging assessments were performed throughout the 10 weeks. Recovery from the mTBI during this time was marked by a slow and steady decrease in symptoms (e.g., headaches, difficulty sleeping, sensitivity to light/noise, vision issues, dysphasia, emotional disturbances). The patient did not return to any physical activity until seven weeks after the initial injury. However, her activity was early threshold aerobic exercise primarily consisting of cycling while being monitored for increases in reported mTBI signs and symptoms. Due to the prolonged recovery and previous concussion history, the medical team and patient decided that further participation in the sport was not feasible. Thus, the patient medically disqualified from further participation. This project was approved by the institutions IRB (Approval ID#: 2012044), is aligned with the Declaration of Helsinki, and the patient’s consent was provided to publish the data within this case study. This study.29

The overall fNIRS-derived hemodynamic responses were monitored each week for 10 weeks of the patient’s recovery beginning after the onset of the injury. The location of placement for the fNIRS sensors were determined based on video footage of the injury and athletic trainers present at the time of injury. fNIRS hemodynamic monitoring were collected over left (Injured) and right (Control) superior temporal region of the patients’ head using a 4x1 optode to receiver layout which was secured to the head with a full head neoprene cap, chin strap, and pressure relief system to maintain sensor placement (OxyMon MKII, Artinis Medical Systems, Einstinweg, Netherlands). The centerpoint of the 4x1 sensor grid was the location of impact and the identical location on the opposing side of the head. Each of the 4 optodes on each region of the head were sampled at 10 Hz for each of the 762 and 848 nm wavelengths utilized to monitor the hemodynamic responses. Each wavelength penetrates through the skull and into the cerebral cortex at a distance of ~2.5 cm. The thickness of the skull was estimated based on the patients age and utilized to calculate a correction factor for the differential pathlength factor (DPF) caused by the refraction of the skull fNIRS signals were performed by filtering for Mayer waves, respiration, and heart pulsation by examining the power density spectrum prior to the continuous wavelet (CWT) analysis. A Morlet Wavelet was utilized for the CWT transform using time-step coefficients without any overlap was then performed. The Wavelet coefficients were determined from the culmination of all the CWT data over each weeks 60-s PVT test and was used to further analyze the CWT Multiscale Peak Detection to quantify the amplitude of each CWT. This analysis allowed for the calculation of fNIRSamp values for O2Hbamp, HHbamp, and tHbamp. Together, these metrics provide the regional cerebral blood flow (tHbamp), metabolic stress (HHbamp), and available oxygen (O2Hbamp) in the Control and Injured regions of the brain. Each hemisphere’s 4 optode grid channels were then summated to provide an individual activation level for each locations site of interest during each week’s 60-s PVT.

Three exploratory t-tests were performed on the mean Control and Injured tHbamp, HHbamp, and O2Hbamp measures, collapsed across the 10 weeks for sufficient data points, to determine the gross differences in hemodynamics throughout the 60-s PVT. 

Psychomotor Vigilance Test: 

A 60-s PVT was performed each week while wearing the fNIRS neuroimaging sensor on the injured and control regions of the patient’s brain. The 60-s PVT test was performed on a touch screen tablet (iPad 10.2in 9th generation, Apple, Cupertino, CA) using the Research Buddies software (Research Buddies Version 1.53). During to quantify injury severity as it has been suggested that a PVT has difficultly determining differences in patient injury severity scores.14 In a previous study31 that examined healthy, military non-TBI patients suffering from extreme hypoxemia and physical fatigue reported an average 60-s PVT time ranging from 380-450-ms. Taken together, the findings of these previous studies suggest that a 60-s PVT can help to identify deficits and potentially severity, but the 60-s PVT alone is unable determine if an mTBI occurred and its injury severity. However, the addition of our fNIRS neuroimaging technique coupled with the 60-s PVT results may allow for a methodology of tracking the occurrence and severity of mTBI patients. 

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: Neuroimaging:

Neuroimaging the contralateral side of the brain as a Control was effective for identifying the hemodynamic and metabolic differences from the Injured region of the brain in our patient as a pre-injury image was unavailable. The relatively consistent tHbamp, HHbamp, and O2Hbamp metrics across the 10 weeks for the Control compared to the Injured side reflects a low neurophysiological load placed on the Control region of the brain typical of a non-mTBI patient during the 60-s PVT (Figure 4).2,26 Furthermore, Figure 5 illustrates the similarities in the neurophysiological load placed on the Control and Injured regions of the brain at the initial 0 to 10-s of the 60-s PVT, however, after 30-s of load a greater hemodynamic and metabolic responses occurred in the Injured but not the Control region of the brain. Thus, the 60-s PVT load placed on the brain was minimal enough to not impact the Control region of the brain while sufficient at stimulating a response from the Injured region of the brain. Therefore, the utilization of a Control region was effective and allowed us to develop a target recovery threshold for the Injured region of the brain to match the tHbamp, HHbamp, and O2Hbamp of the Control region. The combined tHbamp, HHbamp, and O2Hbamp pattern of responses throughout the 10 weeks of recovery indicated maintenance of the patients Oxygen Extraction Fraction (OEF) in the Injured region of the brain. 32 The HHbamp and O2Hbamp ratio remained relatively constant in the Injured region of the brain with a concomitant increase in tHbamp which suggested that greater oxygenation utilization was required in the Injured region of the brain compared to the Control (Figure 4). The overall increased blood flow to the Injured region and increased metabolic demand, as indicated by the greater HHbamp, likely aimed to offset the mTBI associated Ca2+ overload within the patient. Increasing of the patients overall regional blood flow (tHbamp) to the Injured region may reflect a protective mechanism to avoid the catabolic effects of a Ca2+-induced intracellular dysregulation that has been shown to result in the overproduction of free radicals, activation of cell death signaling pathways and stimulation of inflammatory responses.33–35 That is, the fNIRS responses captured throughout the recovery of this patient tracked with the expected systemic physiological responses associated with the maintenance of OEF. Furthermore, it has been well established that mTBI’s result in mitochondrial dysregulation which result in a greater hemodynamic shift to the injured region of the brain to provide sufficient oxygen, dilution, and clearance rates for the metabolic byproducts.33,34 It is hypothesized that the combined mitochondrial dysregulation induced hemodynamic shift was likely the driving factor for the increased metabolic stress (HHbamp) while OEF further stimulated a greater hemodynamic flow to the Injured region of the brain to avoid further injury associated with a buildup of metabolic byproducts. The combined regional cerebral blood flow regulation pattern (tHbamp) and increased metabolic demand captured in this patient indicated that the damage to the patient’s brain was detectable using our fNIRS approach. Furthermore, the combined utilization of our CWT tHbamp, HHbamp, and O2Hbamp methodology allowed for identification of the hemodynamic shifts associated with the injury and increased load induced by the 60-s PVT. 

In our patient, all fNIRS metrics that were elevated from weeks 1 to 8 improved to within Control values at week 9 and remained at the Control levels at week 10 (Figure 4). The tracked improvements in all fNIRS measures suggest that this patient’s recovery became physiologically improved at week 9, however, the patient reported minimal symptomology at rest at week 7 which cleared the patient to begin light physical activity. During weeks 7 and 8 the patient reported increased symptomology when exercising which was her rate limiter to perform physical activity. Considering the onset of the symptomology due to exercise and the fNIRS detected hemodynamic shifts associated with mitochondrial dysregulation coupled with OEF, the patient may have been less symptomatic if exercise was resumed at week 9.32,34 Specifically, the improved fNIRS and 60-s PVT metrics at week 9 were closely aligned with the Control and expected reaction time values, respectively, suggesting that our fNIRS approach could track the physiological recovery in this patient (Figure 4). Early physical activity in patients with mTBI’s has been linked to increase metabolic byproduct accumulation, greater hemodynamic shifts, potential reduced recovery rates, and increased symptomology.32,34,36,37 Thus, the elevated tHbamp, HHbamp, and OxyHbamp values at week 8 suggest that the physical activity performed at weeks 7 and 8 may have regressed recovery and induced additional dysfunction, lengthening recovery time. Therefore, further development of this non-invasive neuroimaging approach will provide clinicians with a useful assessment tool to make more informed decisions on the rate of recovery and activity a patient may be prescribed.

Limitations: This was an exploratory case study performed on a single patient to examine the clinical feasibility of the fNIRS and 60-s PVT analysis approach which will need greater refinement and development prior to clinical adoption. We acknowledge that greater data from a larger population should be studied to make this technology useable when real-time accounts or video footage of the injury site is unavailable. Thus, data from this study should not be applied to a broader patient pool until further studies focusing on the refinement and application of this approach is completed. The data from this case study does provide the foundational information needed to replicate the study methodology and highlights the relevance to the clinical community aiming to develop non-invasive mTBI monitoring devices.   

Conclusion: In conclusion, the 60-s PVT was capable of detecting deficits in our patient, however, the 60-s PVT alone was unable to determine injury severity. The addition of our fNIRS neuroimaging technique was able to detect the systemic physiological responses over the injured region of the brain that align with mitochondrial dysregulation induced hemodynamic shifts and increased metabolic stress (HHbamp). In addition, tHbamp and HHbamp identified OEF which further stimulated a greater hemodynamic flow to the Injured region of the brain to avoid a buildup of metabolic byproducts. The neuroimaging from the contralateral side of the brain was effective as a Control in our patient as a preinjury image was unavailable. Using the Injured and Control region neuroimaging, we determined the elevated tHbamp, HHbamp, and OxyHbamp values at week 8 suggest that the physical activity performed at weeks 7 and 8 may have regressed recovery and induced additional dysfunction, lengthening recovery time. Therefore, this case study showed that a combined 60-s fNIRS neuroimaging and PVT technique was capable of detecting the patients mTBI and tracked her recovery better than subjective assessments. Furthermore, the physiological data obtained through our non-invasive neuroimaging approach was able to identify the patient’s physiological response including potential mitochondrial dysregulation and OEF. Therefore, the physiological responses and recovery state capture in our patient indicates that the weekly assessments of a combined 60-s fNIRS and PVT approach could provide clinically relevant data on the recovery status and injury severity. Future research should focus on the development of fNIRS threshold values that can be utilized to better identify the severity of a mTBI and its associated physiological responses in a large sample of mTBI patients.

Improving Executive Functioning Through Occupational Therapy

The need to enhance children’s executive functioning is growing. Occupational therapy is a valuable tool in improving these skills. It focuses on helping students improve their attention, memory and problem-solving abilities.

There are four main approaches to addressing executive function challenges:

remedial, compensatory, metacognitive and environmental adaptations. In addition, OTs use standardized tools to assess cognitive control.

Remedial approaches

Remediation focuses on improving executive functioning occupational therapy by targeting the underlying cognitive processes. For example, if a child has executive function deficits that affect their ability to perform tasks, a therapist might recommend activities like practicing memory games or using a visual schedule to improve their working memory. Other strategies may include training a child to use a daily planner or digital calendar to help them stay organized and manage their tasks.

Compensatory approaches involve learning adaptive, compensatory methods to compensate for lost functions. For example, if a client has had a stroke and has short-term memory problems, an occupational therapist might teach them external compensatory strategies, such as writing to-do lists or keeping appointments in a calendar.

In addition to these approaches, OTs can also use metacognitive and environmental adaptations to support clients’ executive function skills. These strategies encourage clients to think about their own behavior and the effects of their actions on others, and can help them better control their emotions.

Compensatory approaches

Children with executive functioning difficulties struggle to manage their schoolwork and daily activities. They may miss school due to impulsive behaviour, have trouble organising and planning tasks, and can’t cope with the demands of their environment.

Occupational therapists can use compensatory approaches to help children with these problems. These involve strategies and tools that minimize the impact of EF deficits on daily life, rather than directly addressing the underlying cognitive processes. For example, a therapist can use visual aids such as coloured-coded labels and task boards to help clients stay on track and reduce distractions. They can also recommend strategies for navigating transitions and multi-step processes, such as using audio cues to signal when it’s time to switch activities or use a digital calendar.

Dan suffered a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and has difficulty sustaining classroom learning attention, completing his work tasks, and maintaining functional play skills with his peers. His OT assessed him using the Rivermeade Post Concussion Questionnaire, and found that he had moderate symptoms in several areas, including sleep, fatigue, and cognition with a particular emphasis on EF skills.

Occupational therapy strategies

OTs use a variety of strategies to improve the executive functioning skills of their clients. These strategies include memory training, attention-training tasks, and problem-solving activities. They also provide a variety of other cognitive treatment options that are designed to build skills through repetition and practice.

These interventions can help improve a client’s ability to organize, plan, and initiate tasks. For example, an OT may suggest using visual schedules or checklists to manage time and keep track of daily tasks. They may also recommend organizing a client’s workspace to reduce distractions and improve focus.

OTs can also use different games to challenge a child’s working and visual perceptual memory. Classic card-matching games, app challenges, and brain teasers can all promote cognitive flexibility. These activities can also help children learn how to multitask and follow instructions. They can even train a child to use adaptive equipment, such as a wheelchair or assistive computer, by pairing it with a schedule or visual prompts.

Occupational therapy assessment

An OT helping hearts includes standardized tests and clinical observations to identify the client’s strengths and weaknesses in planning, organization, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and emotional regulation. The therapist then creates cognitive interventions to improve these skills.

These may include sensory integration activities, strategies for coping with emotions, and compensatory techniques. Occupational therapy assessments also screen for multiple disorders and identify co-occurring conditions, which can lead to more comprehensive treatment plans.

A simple and inexpensive tool is the nine-hole peg test, a timed activity that evaluates fine motor dexterity. This simple test requires only a few minutes to complete and can be done by either the left or right hand.

Another assessment tool is the Children’s Kitchen Task Assessment (CKTA), which is a functional and real-life task-based evaluation. It is often used for assessing executive functioning in school-based OT practices. However, it is important to remember that not all CKTAs are created equal and should be administered by trained professionals.

Finally starting to feel a bit more like myself w/ this concussion. Still need the earplugs 24/7, but, at least I'm able to focus a bit better. Get things done.

I do find it a bit funny that I tried to go back to work a whole WEEK ago. Keep thinking to myself "you were so fucking stupid. light made you angry, normal talking voice made you angry, how could you have gone back to work?"

Then I was looking at the head injury guidance I was meant to read (I didn't read it thoroughly, until AFTER I tried returning to work, like a fool) and.

「 from page 26 of headway's mTBI booklet 」

I just. "Oh yeah, no wonder I did something terribly stupid, I was CONCUSSED". I AM STILL CONCUSSED.

Fortunately I haven't done anything inappropriate or too uncharacteristic. I think. I hope. But, I've definitely been so much less myself. My judgement has been so poor. I just want my brain to get back to functioning again. (and to be able to stop wearing hearing protection, my ears are so sore...)

Doesn’t @aphrodicci claim to be an INTJ? Aka, one of the types with the most foresight?

How are your methods going to get called out by several whistleblowers and previous bully victims, and you then proceed to do the EXACT same thing?

Where is the Ni future focused decision making? Where is the logical Te that helps with objective knowledge and strategy? INTJ my ass.

She’s GOT to be an ENTJ. Somehow these types can use the exact same functions as INTJ but the switch just screws them over.

ENTJs will surround themselves with so much bullshit that they think will help them in all situations. The typical movie villain to have acclimated a large ass army with the most ridiculous equipment you can think of. Only to be annihilated by sheer hatred of the opposing side simply because the ENTJ is so undeniably evil, they’ve rallied the whole world against them. It’s impressive really. (An INTJ does not want to spare the time to do any of this btw. Give them the straight shot method to take a bitch out and they’ll do that instead. Work smart, not hard.)

But does this not seem like a more accurate typing of someone like @aphrodicci? I cannot be the only MBTI user that sees this. She turned a server into a whole armada to do her bidding and then has random accounts at the ready to attack people who disagree with her. That shit is textbook ENTJ. Not to mention the hoops she goes through to try and excuse her racism. That inferior Fi(internal morals and internal focus on feelings) is the kicker. If she had a profile on PDB I guarantee you the votes would all be for ENTJ. I know mine would.

I'm not super familiar with MTBI, but this ask is hilarious. I'll have to Google some historical examples of ENTJ's and really get a better understanding. An interesting MTBI break down, this was a fun read. Thanks for your time and knowledge.

Intp fictional characters

•Violet Harmon (ahs) love her although she can be pretty naive at times. Like falling for Tate because let’s be real, I would avoid serial killers at all costs.

•Eric Forman (that 70s show) annoyingly funny has lowkey good comebacks.

•Beetee Latier (hunger games) brilliant mind never met someone more strategic. Blew my mind when I watched the serious for the first time.

•Alice Kingsleigh (alice in wonderland) curious and much more, literally the female version of me.

•Elliot Alderson (mr.robert) fucking love him that’s I gotta say.

•Rue Bennett (euphoria) although she shows certain functioning of Se. But I could be wrong. I love that bitch a lot and never related to a person better.

•Arthur Weasley (harry potter) he’s pretty immaculate, very passionate about the ministry of magic. Same way I’m passionate on some things.

•Nick Carraway (the great gasby) always analyzing and observing other people’s actions. It’s safe to say he makes one badass narrator. Although there are certain dominant functionings of Fe and Se. He appears to be in a feeler at some points. As opposed to the film and books.

Only 4% of population has this type and yet we are constantly looked down upon because of our complex way of thinking.

Hello!!! Good Afternoon To You Ma'am/Sir.

How Are You? I Hope You Are Ok And Well.

I Apologize To Bother You Ma'am/Sir, In Your Time, This Day.

If You Are Free, I Respectfully Ask If Can You Please Read My Request.

My Question Is "In Your Opinion Ma'am/Sir, Based On My Birth Chart, What Is My Mtbi?"

Sorry To Bother You Again Ma'am/Sir. Please Take Your Time.

Thank You Very Much For Your Understanding, Time And Effort, In Reading And Replying My Request.

Hi, thank you so much for asking!

Let me know if I'm right or wrong or what you think of my analysis. It's totally fine if you think I'm wrong so I can fix my pattern recognition. Feel free to read my Functions vs. Planets post to also figure out your type!

You're a Pisces Rising with Saturn 1st house. I think you're more mature than everyone, but your look also has a dreamy vibe. I associate Pisces with Fi, Ni or feeling types in general and Saturn with Si.

You seem like an air dominant (Libra Sun, Libra North Node, Libra Chiron, Gemini Moon, Moon 3rd house, 7th house stellium, Neptune and Uranus 11th house), especially Libra dominant. I usually associate Libra with the Fe/Ti axis or feeling types (Fe or Fi). Air placements remind me of Ne and Ti.

These certain placements (Gemini Moon in 3rd house, Virgo Mercury, Pluto 9th house, Jupiter 10th house, Neptune and Uranus 11th house) make me think you're into acquiring knowledge and intellect. Gemini Moon in 3rd house and Virgo Mercury sound like strong Ne and Ti. Pluto 9th house makes you a powerful intellectual. Also, you may be stubborn, radical, extreme, and dark (Pluto) with your ideologies, which makes me think of the Fi and Ne combination. Fi is deep and idealistic, and Ne is theoretical. You think deeply on big and abstract topics. People may see you as a mentor with Jupiter 10th house. You're analytical, knowledgeable, and deep. These above placements remind me of Ne and Ti. I think you're more thereotical and abstract than realistic and practical. Hence, you lead with intuition (Ne or Ni).

Because you're a Libra Dominant and Pisces Rising, I would incline to predict that you're a feeling type (Fi or Fe), but it doesn't have to be the case. I feel like you're equally strong in both thinking and feeling departments due to your other placements I mentioned above. I still think stelliums especially matter as they're where you focus on the most. You have a 7th house stellium, so you focus on the 7th house topics (love, partnership, relationship, etc.) the most. Feeling types may be more interested in these topics than thinking types theoretically.

I guess you're an Ne/Si user instead of Ni/Se user since you have no water placements (4th, 8th, and 12th houses). I think Ni/Se users have strong Pisces and Scorpio, and you don't have these placements.

Your Sun, Moon, and Mercury have a nice trine with Uranus and Neptune. I associate Uranus with Ne and Ti and Neptune with Fi or Ni. You also have many Moon aspects. It may mean that you focus on your feelings (Moon). I still think you're a feeling type (Fi or Fe).

You're a feeling type with strong air placements that make me think Fi and Ne should be your first two functions (dominant and auxiliary functions). With Pisces rising and Saturn 1st house, my guess is you're an INFP. You may also be an ENFP or ENTP. INFP is the strongest, ENFP is next, then ENTP. I think you may be an ENTP instead of INTP because ENTP has tertiary Fe, which I associate with Libra. INTP has inferior Fe, but you have strong Libra placements. You seem mature with Saturn 1st house, so I think INFP fits most of all the 3 types as INFP has tertiary Si, which I associate with Saturn. The other two types (ENFP and ENTP) are much more chaotic with their dominant Ne.

In conclusion, I guess you're an INFP based on your chart.

Please check out the type descriptions I mentioned above (INFP, ENFP, and ENTP) and their cognitive functions, especially Fi and Ne. If you don't find them relatable, feel free to check other types like ISFJ or ESFJ and the rest.

You can also check on Enneagram because Enneagram also strongly affects the way we appear and behave.

I love to hear your thoughts on my analysis! 🙏💙

Edit: Oh, I just saw your name after posting, haha, which kind of fits INFP. INFP is often introverted and can be plenty chaotic with their auxiliary Ne.
