Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The objective of this study was to examine differences in self-reported symptoms, neurocognitive performance, and vestibular-ocular insufficiencies between patients’ first and second concussions. A secondary purpose was to explore the role of risk factors on recovery.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective medical chart review of 73 (32-M/41-F) patients aged 15.69 (SD=1.67) years from a concussion specialty clinic with two separate concussions (84.9% of 1st and 79.5% of 2nd sport-related) that occurred between August 2010 and April 2018. Clinical outcomes included the PCSS, ImPACT, and the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS). A series of paired samples t-tests were used to compare clinical outcomes along with chi-square analyses for risk factor associations.
Results
Verbal memory scores were higher following the second (M=80.67, SD=15.3) (M=76.32, SD=15.65) (t[73]=–2.18, p=.03) concussion. Visual motor processing speed was faster following the second concussion (M=35.04, SD= 7.90) (M=31.35, SD=7.63) (t[73]=–5.72, p<.001). There were no other significant differences observed. Recovery time was similar for the first (61.07, SD=58.41.5) and second (67.91 SD=70.10) respectively, t(70)=–.91, p=.37. There was no relationship between any risk factors, and recovery time for either injury with the exception a significant association between gender and recovery time (>21 days) with the 1st injury for females (χ2, N=73)=10.58, p=.001.
Conclusion
Findings suggest that a second concussion does not result in more pronounced symptoms, worse neurocognitive performance, or increased deficits on vestibular/ocular performance and/or longer recovery time. The only significant risk factor to a recovery over 21 days included gender.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite effective national immunisation programmes in Europe, some groups remain incompletely or un-vaccinated ('under-vaccinated'), with underserved minorities and certain religious/ideological groups repeatedly being involved in outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases (VPD). Gaining insight into factors regarding acceptance of vaccination of 'under-vaccinated groups' (UVGs) might give opportunities to communicate with them in a trusty and reliable manner that respects their belief system and that, maybe, increase vaccination uptake. We aimed to identify and describe UVGs in Europe and to describe beliefs, attitudes and reasons for non-vaccination in the identified UVGs. METHODS We defined a UVG as a group of persons who share the same beliefs and/or live in socially close-knit communities in Europe and who have/had historically low vaccination coverage and/or experienced outbreaks of VPDs since 1950. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and PsycINFO databases using specific search term combinations. For the first systematic review, studies that described a group in Europe with an outbreak or low vaccination coverage for a VPD were selected and for the second systematic review, studies that described possible factors that are associated with non-vaccination in these groups were selected. RESULTS We selected 48 articles out of 606 and 13 articles out of 406 from the first and second search, respectively. Five UVGs were identified in the literature: Orthodox Protestant communities, Anthroposophists, Roma, Irish Travellers, and Orthodox Jewish communities. The main reported factors regarding vaccination were perceived non-severity of traditional "childhood" diseases, fear of vaccine side-effects, and need for more information about for example risk of vaccination. CONCLUSIONS Within each UVG identified, there are a variety of health beliefs and objections to vaccination. In addition, similar factors are shared by several of these groups. Communication strategies regarding these similar factors such as educating people about the risks associated with being vaccinated versus not being vaccinated, addressing their concerns, and countering vaccination myths present among members of a specific UVG through a trusted source, can establish a reliable relationship with these groups and increase their vaccination uptake. Furthermore, other interventions such as improving access to health care could certainly increase vaccination uptake in Roma and Irish travellers.
