just developed an International Sports Injury System "ISIS�,
(FOR A DESCRIPTION OF ISIS CLICK HERE) which is an
expanded computerized internet-based data version of the IRS. The ISIS gives the possibility to improve the epidemiological
analysis of most sports related injuries, to make available an internationally compatible
system for the continuous monitoring of risk factors, to be able to evaluate the different
training methods, to evaluate the protective effects of different kinds of equipment and
to evaluate the effects of changes in rules for many sports worldwide. This ISIS is an
internet-based database system that makes possible to early detect any changes in injury
pattern through the years. It is a valid and reliable way of documenting injuries and if
used worldwide it can give very important information concerning injuries, epidemiology
and treatment.Dr. Biasca has also done a lot of research for the prevention of sequelae
after minor Traumatic Brain Injury mTBI. In collaboration with Prof. Tegner, Dr. Reto
Agosti and Dr. Hugo Battaglia he has developed (1998) Emergency Procedures following
