@RhysMccole Hi @RhysMccole research has been done @SHUresearch looking at retinal imaging of boxers to measure change over time of the RNFL. Yearly checks using this may be a way to measure damge. https://t.co/wB2yZyWd8Y

median of 22 bouts, typical Olympic Boxer receives approx 8 head blows during spar session w/35% of boxers receiving ≥10 head blows, est head blows would equate to ~500 over 5-yrs (5 head blows/bout & 10 bouts/year), 18 mos. - 2 yrs = est 200 head blow

"If our data in Olympic boxers represent a true loss of retinal tissue thickness, over and above expected loss for this age group it is entirely plausible that these data reflect a pathological process not previously reported." https://t.co/SVkzjTxvKW

"there is a pressing need for new in vivo technology to allow monitoring of brain health over lifetime exposure to head trauma (especially for children and youths as they begin to encounter exposure to TBI risk when taking up contact sports)" https://t.co
"For amateur (Olympic) boxers, professional boxers, and for those playing football, rugby, or mixed martial arts, the cumulative effects of brain injury are largely uncharted because quantifying lifetime incidence of brain damage is a major challenge." htt
