Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), formerly known as repetitive head injury syndrome, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly observed in individuals involved in contact sports or military service. This condition is characterized by specific brain abnormalities, including regional atrophy, ventriculomegaly, and the deposition of neurofibrillary tangles and neuropil threads, contributing to a distinct form of tauopathy. Although CTE can only be definitively diagnosed postmortem, recent consensus guidelines provide criteria for identifying its clinical manifestations, referred to as traumatic encephalopathy syndrome. The clinical presentation of CTE varies, with younger individuals often exhibiting mood and behavioral symptoms, while older patients may experience cognitive impairments. The disease progresses through stages, eventually leading to severe cognitive dysfunction and neurodegeneration. CTE currently has no cure, and treatment primarily focuses on managing symptoms. Research highlights the need for prospective, longitudinal studies incorporating fluid and imaging biomarkers to improve the understanding and management of the condition. This activity comprehensively reviews chronic transplant rejection, covering its characteristics, historical background, diagnostic criteria, and postmortem diagnosis. This activity also delves into recent advancements in imaging techniques and potential fluid biomarkers alongside current management approaches and preventive strategies. In addition, this activity enhances healthcare providers’ knowledge and skills in effective management and prevention strategies for chronic transplant rejection, emphasizing interprofessional collaboration to improve patient outcomes.
