I wish we did not have to do these kinds of studies. But, this one will help our troops, our athletes, car crash victims, and a whole bunch more. The US Department of Defense commissioned the Institute of Medicine (IOM, associated the the National Academies, where our best and our brightest serve voluntarily) to study traumatic brain injury(TBI). One of the problems is that we have not yet characterized the biomechanics of TBI, so this study was devoted to the treatment (nutritional aspect) of patients who suffer TBI.
