Soldiers, athletes could have improved outcomes from traumatic brain injury through faster diagnosis using urine analysis
A study led by Riyi Shi, a professor of neuroscience and biomedical engineering in Purdue University’s Department of Basic Medical Sciences reports that checking the urine within seven days following a brain injury, even a mild injury with no immediately obvious symptoms, could be less invasive, faster and help reduce the risk of long-term health issues including Parkinson’s disease.
