    Abstract: 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 or 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 levels of 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.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of aiding 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 mild, moderate, severe, or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) by detecting levels of a biomarker, such as ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase Ll (UCH-L1) glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or a combination thereof, in samples taken from a subject (e.g., a human subject) that has or may have sustained an injury or suspected injury to the head that is caused or believed to have been caused by acoustic energy, electromagnetic energy (e.g., from a sonic weapon, a directed energy weapon or a combination thereof), an over pressurization wave, blast wind, or any combination thereof.
