First it is important to know what a concussion is. A concussion is a traumatic injury to the small tissue of the brain. Effects are usually temporary but can include headaches and problems with concentration, memory, balance and coordination. Although concussions usually are caused by a blow to the head, they can also occur when the head and upper body are violently shaken.
However, they did find significant attenuation of previously concussed players’ brain activity in multiple parts of the frontal lobe including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the inferior frontal gyrus (Virji-Babul et al., 2014). These findings indicate that EEG is able to measure frontal lobe abnormalities between concussed and non-concussed individuals, however, more research is needed involving the changes concussions have on the frontal
A concussion is a tramatic brain injury that alters the way your brain function. Although the effects are usually temporary the effects can be delayed for hours or days and can last days to months. The effects include: headaches, and problems with concentration, memory loss, balance and coordination. Concussions are usually caused caused by a blow to the head or neck or upper part of the body. The cause of a concussion can be from a contact sport, a car accident, or even a kid falling on a playground.
Another problem is that if you get too many concussions the long-term effects increase
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that is often caused by a blow to the head or when the head and upper body are violently shaken (Edwards & Bodle, 2014). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is estimated that about 75% of the 1.7 million TBIs that occur annually in the United States are mild TBIs or concussions. The number of emergency department visits for sports and recreation-related concussion has significantly increased by 60% over the past decade. The effects of concussions can be divided into short term, mid-term, and long-term. The short term consequences include various neurologic and cognitive symptoms, but are typically self-limited and resolved with plentiful rest.
The implications of a concussion are equally devastating. Short-term effects includes drowsiness,
In uncommon cases, concussions cause more major issues. Rehashed blackouts or an extreme blackout may prompt dependable issues with development, learning, or talking. As a result of the little risk of major issues, it is vital to contact a specialist on the off chance that you or somebody you know has indications of a concussion.
An estimated 1.6-3.8 million sports and recreation concussions occur in the United States each year. A concussion is a brain injury caused by a blow to the head or a violent shaking of the head and body. The effects of concussions do affect the teen learning process because of painful migraines, general symptoms ,short-term memory. The first few days of a concussion consist of a series of painful migraines. Some of these effects of a concussion may be sensitivity to light and sound.
In “Concussion Hazards in Youth Football” Dr. Gupta states “ When you look at the brains of people that have Alzheimer’s and you compare it to young adults today, you see a similar brain layouts because of blows to the head overtime.” (3:25-3:34) Even though it is a risk of permanent brain damage, players still run onto a field to go support their team whether they see one of everything or seven of everything. Because of these addicting programs and sports players don’t worry about their injuries but instead worry about playing the game and this addiction is causing young adults to have brain problems and damages at such young
Said, Jingzhen, Yang "New and Recurrent Concussions in High-School Athletes Before and After Traumatic Brain Injury Laws, 2005–2016." (1). This is a huge issue especially since the brains are still developing. It is crucial for children to protect their heads because the brain is so fragile in the developing stage.
2 Sleep Deprivation in the Nursing Profession Sleep deprivation is known as a condition of not getting enough sleep that can affect the brain and cognitive functions. "It occurs when a person sleeps for fewer hours than necessary over multiple days or week" (Eanes, 2015). When we think of nurses we are reminded of people who promote the health of others. However, many are unknowingly compromising their own health by working those 12-hour shifts. Many times, its more than 12 hours when they are finally able to go home.
When kids don’t get brain breaks they tend to daydream or start talking about stuff that has nothing to do with the subject. Also, when we don’t get brain breaks we can get antsy and start moving around the room when we are not supposed to.

Nurses fatigue is growing problem nurse face each day in the healthcare environment, and he can be caused by long hours, sleep deprivation, and possibly by accepting extra assignments can be dangerous for both nurses and patient. These inadequacies can result in major implications for the health and safety of registered nurses and can compromise patient care which can lead to fatalities. (American Nurses Association, 2014). In my experience, being fatigued from working much 12-hour shifts consecutively was very difficult as I felt extremely tired, resulting in lack of focus, missing important details during the handing over the process with impaired cognitive functioning. This I found was detrimental to the patients and myself as it impedes quality and has a deleterious effect on patient safety.
