Impactful Research
MRC used the Altmetric Attention Score to highlight the papers that have received the most attention online. The score reflects online engagement with a scholarly article, incorporating mentions in news articles, social media, blogs, policy documents and more. All three of the articles below scored in the top 25th percentile of research outputs calculated by Altmetric.
“ Metrics of Concussion-Related Vision Disorders Among Children and Adolescents With Persisting Post-Concussive Symptoms Using an Object Eye Tracking Device”
This study looked at whether objective eye-tracking can help identify vision problems related to concussion in teens who still have symptoms more than a month post-injury. Among adolescents studied, vision disorders were very common. Certain clinical vision tests and eye-tracking measures successfully distinguished those with concussion-related vision disorders from those without. The findings suggest that eye-tracking could be a useful tool to help clinicians more quickly identify which patients need specialized vision care and treatment to support recovery.
“ Adolescent Female Athletes With Menstrual Dysfunction Report Worse Sleep and Stress Than Those Without Menstrual Dysfunction”
This study followed high school girls playing flag football to see whether athletes with menstrual dysfunction experienced different quality of life outcomes during the season. While energy and mood were similar across athletes, those with menstrual dysfunction reported worse sleep and higher stress throughout the season. These findings highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing menstrual dysfunction in female athletes, as it may affect both wellness and performance.
“ Genetic Screen in a Preclinical Model of Sarcoma Development Defines Drivers and Therapeutic Vulnerabilities”
This study identified key genes that drive different subtypes of aggressive sarcomas and found that some tumors, particularly those driven by YAP1, rely on specific metabolic pathways. Targeting these pathways reduced tumor growth, suggesting new treatment opportunities for hard-to-treat cancers.
