• Changes in circulating microRNAs following head impacts in soccer 

      Sandmo, Stian Bahr; Matyasova, Katarina; Filipcik, Peter; Cente, Martin; Koerte, Inga Katharina; Pasternak, Ofer; Andersen, Thor Einar; Straume-Næsheim, Truls Martin; Bahr, Roald; Jurisica, Igor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Aim: To explore the short-term effects of accidental head impacts and repetitive headers on circulating microRNAs, accounting for the effects of high-intensity exercise alone. Methods: Blood samples were collected from ...
    • Cross-site harmonization of multi-shell diffusion MRI measures based on rotational invariant spherical harmonics (RISH) 

      De Luca, Alberto; Karayumak, Suheyla Cetin; Leemans, Alexander; Rathi, Yogesh; Swinnen, Stephan; Gooijers, Jolien; Clauwaert, Amanda; Bahr, Roald; Sandmo, Stian Bahr; Sochen, Nir; Kaufmann, David; Muehlmann, Marc; Biessels, Geert-Jan; Koerte, Inga; Pasternak, Ofer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Quantification methods based on the acquisition of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) with multiple diffusion weightings (e.g., multi-shell) are becoming increasingly applied to study the in-vivo brain. Compared ...
    • Evaluation of an In-Ear Sensor for Quantifying Head Impacts in Youth Soccer 

      Sandmo, Stian Bahr; McIntosh, Andrew S.; Andersen, Thor Einar; Koerte, Inga; Bahr, Roald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: Wearable sensor systems have the potential to quantify head kinematic responses of head impacts in soccer. However, on-field use of sensors (eg, accelerometers) remains challenging, owing to poor coupling to ...
    • Head impact exposure in youth football: Are current interventions hitting the target? 

      Sandmo, Stian Bahr; Andersen, Thor Einar; Koerte, Inga Katharina; Bahr, Roald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Restrictions on heading in youth football have been implemented in some countries to limit head impact exposure. However, current interventions remain poorly guided by evidence. Our objective was to quantify heading exposure ...
    • Neurological soft signs in adolescents are associated with brain structure 

      Bonke, Elena M.; Bonfert, Michaela V.; Hillmann, Stefan M.; Seitz-Holland, Johanna; Gaubert, Malo; Wiegand, Tim L.T.; De Luca, Alberto; Cho, Kang Ik K.; Sandmo, Stian Bahr; Yhang, Eukyung; Tripodis, Yorghos; Seer, Caroline; Kaufmann, David; Kaufmann, Elisabeth; Muehlmann, Marc; Gooijers, Jolien; Lin, Alexander P.; Leemans, Alexander; Swinnen, Stephan P.; Bahr, Roald; Shenton, Martha; Pasternak, Ofer; Tacke, Uta; Heinen, Florian; Koerte, Inga K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Neurological soft signs (NSS) are minor deviations in motor performance. During childhood and adolescence, NSS are examined for functional motor phenotyping to describe development, to screen for comorbidities, and to ...
