Abstract:
Sports-related concussion is difficult to diagnose due to the lack of objective biomarkers. Another difficult diagnosis is chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is currently set by a neuropathological examination at autopsy. This review aims to give an overview of potential biomarkers in the acute and chronic phase. Biomarkers for the acute phase consist of both MRI and blood markers. Variable biomarkers are studied for CTE, and PET/CT imaging taupathy shows great potential. Further studies are required for validating literature on biomarkers.

Diagnosing Acidosis and Alkalosis
First, the pH level is assessed to determine whether the blood pH is normal (7.35–7.45), low (acidosis), or high (alkalosis).

Outcomes of Glycolysis
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...
