Serum Tau and p-Tau as Diagnostic and Prognostic Tools for Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, the speaker discusses the potential of serum Tau and P-Tau as biomarkers for pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). They acknowledge the need for a novel biomarker that can assist in outcome prediction after pediatric TBI. They explain the functions and abnormalities of Tau and P-Tau proteins, and their role as markers in neurodegenerative diseases. The speaker presents the results of their study, which examined Tau and P-Tau levels in the serum of pediatric TBI patients. They found elevated levels of Tau and P-Tau in mild and combined mild/moderate TBI patients compared to healthy controls. They suggest that measuring Tau and P-Tau at the time of initial injury could aid in diagnosing pediatric TBI and predicting outcomes.
