How Many Fingers Am I Holding Up? A boy aged 12, was in the goal, when suddenly a ball came soaring towards him. He lunged for it to stop the ball from hitting the net, but just then he hit the goal post square in the head. He had to be picked up by the ambulance and was sent to the hospital. He had a minor concussion and was ok after a couple weeks. According to the text, “How can we keep young soccer players safe?” it states, “The study found that for every 10,000 “athlete exposures" --…

It is theorized that the mechanism of a concussion involves a person’s head experiencing a sudden movement typically after an impact that causes the brain to be jolted. The skull moves first and then the brain catches up to the skull which causes an oscillation back and forth. It is thought that the brain moves very little…

continuous decay of brain tissues, which was caused by concussions (Gasper, 2013). • Derek Boogaard was a former NHL enforcer whose brain showed signs of neurodegenerative disease which can be linked to repeated head trauma (Press, 2011). • NHL players that take several blows to the head may lead to concussions (Staff, 2013). • Concussions are a type of traumatic injury which is caused by a hit, or mainly any type of injury that causes the brain to be shaken inside the skull (HealthWise, 2014).…

The most affected system is the nervous system. It is the nervous system because when you receive a concussion your brain is pushed up against your skull. The brain transports messages to other parts of your body and since your brain is injured you are most likely to have trouble reacting to things and may not feel as much pain as you usually would. Two important parts of the endocrine system, the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, are located in or near the brain. Traumatic brain injures…

this with his first patient Mike Webster, who was one of the best centers of all time. While examining Webster’s brain, he found that “persistent head injuries sustained in football play shake up the brain” (Ebert). This causes damage to the brain because human brains do not have shock absorbers and release proteins after each blow to the head causing head trauma. This caused Dr. Omalu to deepen his study as more dead patients came in. As his research starts to get out “his findings elicit from…

effectiveness of headgear is not simple. For instance, O’Sullivan and Fife (2016) state that “Our results display that increases in the thickness of headgear padding did not always correspond with a reduction in head acceleration” (p. 6). Ultimately, current headgear is not efficient in preventing head trauma for amateur athletes. Reason…

Concussions are a medical condition that are a very serious condition. According to WebMD, “a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that this caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that shakes the brain”. Most people don’t even show symptoms of a concussion if they got one. Some people do show obvious symptoms of having a concussion like passing out or forgetting some information about how they got the concussion. There is no time table on when you will recover…

It was three in the morning, which wasn’t really different from any other night, for April Savige, anyway. April, for some reason, loved staying up late, even though she usually had to get up at six thirty. What she loved staying up for was something lots of people would call pointless: fanfiction. Fanfiction was a type of writing fans of a work wrote instead of the real creator of the work. No one knew who the ‘creator’ of fanfiction was, but a few people had… guesses. “Oh my gods, Perce, you…

I have chosen the project option Speech Styles of the comedian Kristen Wiig. The reason I decided to pick her as my topic was because I thought it would be interesting to see how different and how similar she is in the Californian skit when compared to her everyday life. In this paper, idiolect differences, phonological differences, and non-verbal communications between Kristen Wiig’s Californians Skits from Saturday Night Live, will be discussed when compared to her interview from the show…
