Update!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to update those who are following the page and patiently waiting for the results on neurometabolic protein alterations from firearm recoil.

As of now- two (of three) proteins have been analyzed; one showing consistency with protein alterations from concussion, while the other is showing the opposite effect.

The third protein is too small to detect in the blood analysis kits, therefore the kits have to be altered to fit values shown.

Data tables and statistical analysis are currently underway, therefore we are one step closer to publishing results!

I apologize for the delay, however, I want to provide accurate data and publish findings to the best of my knowledge. Thank you for your interest- stay tuned!

About This Project

Sport concussion is currently a widely researched topic. Shooting sports do not impose a direct blow to the head but inflict rapid accelerations to the brain via recoil transfer. Repetitive gunshot recoil can impose neurometabolic change resulting in concussion like symptoms or traumatic brain injury (TBI). The impact of recoil on TBI is not determined. Evaluating brain specific blood biomarkers can contribute to neuroscience research in shooting sports, law enforcement and military.

Blast off!
