Scripps Ranch is a community in the northeastern part of San Diego. The city is named after E.W. Scripps, the original owner of 400 acres that was later expanded to 1,200 acres located just east of Interstate 15 and south of Poway. Scripps Ranch residents enjoy boating and fishing at Miramar Reservoir. The community is well known in Southern California for its beautiful eucalyptus trees, particularly along Pomerado Road. The combination of walk-able neighborhoods, favorable weather and beautiful scenery, attracts both residents and visitors to activities such as cycling and boating in Scripps Ranch. Scripps Ranch is generally regarded as a safe community, but accidents inevitably do occur. Many of the young people in the community enjoy skateboarding and other activities. State laws and local ordinances require all persons under the age of 18 to wear a helmet if they are riding on a bicycle, skateboard, motorcycle, scooter or roller…

A Colorado jury awarded a traumatic brain injury (TBI) victim and his family $11.5 million in a personal injury lawsuit filed against football equipment and sporting goods manufacturer Riddell Sports, Inc., according to ESPN. Rhett Ridolfi, 22, suffered a concussion at a football practice at Trinidad High School in 2008. He was not immediately taken to the hospital and suffered severe brain damage as well as paralysis on the entire left side of his body. The lawsuit claimed that Riddell, the manufacturer of his football helmet, failed to properly warn consumers about the dangers of concussions and playing football.

Researchers at UCLA are cautiously optimistic about recent studies that are attempting to determine if doctors can minimize the risk of complications for traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims, according to the technology news publication VR-Zone. Scientists hope that by analyzing massive amounts of data, an advanced IBM-developed computer system will guide doctors and physicians with preventative care. The computer will analyze data such as pulse, heart rate activity and respiration. Analyzing neurotic measures and predicting complications is extremely complex, and the assistance of this computer may help to bridge the gap for doctors to fully understand why such complications occur. “The field of big data analytics is evolving to include new kinds of data from sources such as medical monitors, giving us insights into patients that weren’t previously possible,” said Dr. Martin Kohn, chief medical scientist for IBM. “We believe that UCLA’s promising research may one day transform the way…
