    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods that aid in the hyperacute diagnosis and evaluation of a human subject that has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head, such as mild, moderate, severe, or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), using an early biomarker, such as ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or a combination thereof. Also disclosed here are methods that aid in the hyperacute determination of whether a human subject that has sustained an injury or may have sustained to the head would benefit from and thus receive a head computerized tomography (CT) scan based on the levels of UCH-L1. These methods involve detecting changes of levels of an early biomarker, such as ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or a combination thereof, in samples taken from a human subject at a time point within about 2 hours, such as about 10, 12, or 20 minutes, after the subject has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head and a second time point about 3 hours to about 6 hours after the first sample is taken.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods and systems of determining whether a subject’s levels of GFAP, UCH-L1, or GFAP and UCH-L1 are elevated in a sample collected from the subject. The methods comprise determining whether the levels of GFAP, UCH-L1, or GFAP and UCH-L1 are elevated in the sample, and communicating the determination on or from an instrument. The methods may be used to aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of a subject (e.g., a human subject) that has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head, such as to determine whether the subject is suffering from a mild, moderate, severe, or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
