User talk:Ruhdekn3086/Chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Nice work, Ruhdekn3086
You may want to consider adding a portion of this section dedicated to analytical epidemiology; the cause and effect of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. What happens to people after they have been diagnosed with this illness? What measures are in place to prevent it from happening?

Additionally, are there any sources that report prevalence of male vs. females, specific age groups, etc.?

How does military service involvement relate to CTE? I Find it interesting that they are more commonly affected.

Great topic and sources used! Thompsok3094 (talk) 17:58, 24 November 2019 (UTC)thompsok3094Thompsok3094 (talk) 17:58, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Overall, I believe that the information that you are adding to article will improve it! There were a few sentences throughout the post that I had some questions about.

1. Another factor that has been implemented and continues to be an area of debate is to change the rules of many contact sports to make the effectively safer [2]. Likewise, another growing area of debate is the better implementation of current rules that have previously been put in place to protect athletes[2].

Is this relative in the prevention due to the nature of contact sports and not truly being able to change how sports are played? Also is there any examples or proof of the rules that have been put into place that can help support this idea.

2. Because of the concern that boxing may cause CTE, there is a movement among medical professionals to ban the sport.[4] Medical professionals have called for such a ban since as early as the 1950s.[5]

Is boxing the most prevalent sport when it comes to CTE? How is this relevant in the prevention besides getting rid of a sport all together?

3.These contact-sports include American football, ice hockey, rugby,[9] boxing, mixed martial arts, association football,[10][9] wrestling.[11], and war veterans[12]

4.Other individuals diagnosed with CTE were involved in military service, had a previous history of chronic seizures, were domestically abused, and or were involved in activities resulting in repetitive head collisions.

Potentially remove war veterans from the list of contact sports that have a prevalence of CTE. Also, if possible, reword #4 to make it clear that these are different groups.

Great job on making sure that all sources are current and up to date and that the most accurate knowledge is going up. Iveshm2648 (talk) 03:24, 25 November 2019 (UTC)iveshm2648
