Episode 53: Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) | The disease, part 1 (CPD hours) In 2005, Dr Bennet Omalu would publish a report in the United States on the autopsy brain findings of a former professional footballer from the NFL. His conclusion was the former athlete suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE); a disease caused by repeated brain injuries most likely due to sport. The response was swift and severe claiming that the findings were incorrect, the conclusions erroneous, and a retraction of this report was demanded. Surprisingly, this was not the first time medical literature has noted the link between sport, repeated head injuries and brain damage. The first publication was written in 1928 by Dr Harrison Martland who was the Chief Medical Examiner of Essex County in New Jersey. Harrison performed hundreds of autopsies on people with head injuries including boxers. He noted twenty-three examples of boxers with permanent brain damage that he called ‘punch drunk’. Other researchers found this was not limited to boxing but other contact sports such as football. Later, this condition became known as Dementia pugilistica. This disease has surged into the spotlight in the last decade due to a number of high-profile athletes diagnosed with CTE. Unfortunately, both professional and amateur athletes are at risk. This condition also greatly impacts the family and friends of those who suffer from it. These two episodes are designed to explain what we know, what we don’t, and what can be done about this debilitating condition. This is the story of CTE, part 1 brought to you in conjunction with The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA). * Please note: General Practitioners in Australia will be able to claim 2.25 CPD hours after listening to this episode and part 2.
