    1. Teal says her experience has become a teachable moment, opening her eyes to the frequency of which these accidents happen and just how severe concussions can become. “I just physically make sure I am aware of my surroundings at all times now,” she said.

      I completely agree that it is important to take care of yourself and to protect yourself from any harm.

    2. In Teal’s case, she endured months of debilitating symptoms which prevented her from returning to work full-time. “I started with an hour back [at a time] with a supply in the classroom. But after about an hour in the classroom the nausea and the headaches and the dizziness would start again,” she explained.

      I can completely understand the situation. It is very difficult for teachers to teach the class with noisy students.

    3. The educational assistant was monitoring recess when she was accidentally hit in the side of the head with a football thrown by a student.

      This is very bad for teachers and students. Students have to play with care so that they can create a safe work area for teachers and other staff members.

    1. Moreover, participants who had started experiencing motor function issues in this period had a threefold increase in the risk of developing Parkinson's disease or related conditions, such as dementia with Lewy bodies.

      This is the indication of a Parkinson's disease. We can prevent the disease from happening if someone observes the issues in motor functioning and hence can be cured before.

    2. Research has shown that many people with RBD go on to develop Parkinson's disease, so the McGill University team decided to find out whether an RBD diagnosis could accurately predict Parkinson's risk.

      I found this interesting since one condition can become the cause of other and diagnosing the one condition can prevent the other that is Parkinson's disease to occur.

    3. This inability to move prevents the person from physically acting out any dream that they may be experiencing and thus stops them from potentially harming themselves or others.

      This is somehow good since sometimes you never know, what kind of dream you might be experiencing in which you could be physical and harm himself or someone else too which can create a serious problems. RBD prevents from happening this which is good.
