Bennet Ifeakandu Omalu (born September 1968[1]) is a Nigerian-American physician, forensic pathologist, and neuropathologist who was the first to discover and publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in American football players while working at the Allegheny County Coroner's Office in Pittsburgh.[2] He later became the chief medical examiner for San Joaquin County, California, and is a professor at the University of California, Davis, Department of Medical Pathology and Laboratory

Omalu's autopsy of former Pittsburgh Steelers player Mike Webster in 2002 led to Omalu's discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE in National Football League Players. Webster had died suddenly and unexpectedly, following years of struggling with cognitive and intellectual impairment, destitution, mood disorders, depression, drug abuse, and suicide attempts. Although Webster’s brain looked normal at autopsy, Omalu conducted independent and self-financed tissue analyses.[6] He suspected Webster suffered from dementia pugilistica, dementia induced by repeated blows to the head, a condition found previously in boxers. Using specialized staining, Omalu found large accumulations of tau protein in Webster's brain, affecting mood, emotions, and executive functions similar to the way clumps of beta-amyloid protein contribute to Alzheimer's disease.[6]

Together with colleagues in the Department of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh, Omalu published his findings in the journal Neurosurgery in 2005 in a paper titled "Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a National Football League Player." In it, Omalu called for further study of the disease: "We herein report the first documented case of long-term neurodegenerative changes in a retired professional NFL player consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). This case draws attention to a disease that remains inadequately studied in the cohort of professional football players, with unknown true prevalence rates."[7] Omalu believed the National Football League (NFL) doctors would be "pleased" to read it and that his research could be used to "fix the problem."[6] The paper received little attention initially, but members of the NFL’s Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) Committee later called for its retraction in May 2006.[8] Their letter requesting the retraction characterized Omalu’s description of CTE as "completely wrong" and called the paper "a failure."[3]

Omalu later partnered with Julian Bailes, a neurosurgeon, concussion researcher, and then chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at West Virginia University School of Medicine, and West Virginia attorney Robert P. Fitzsimmons, to found the Brain Injury Research Institute, establishing a brain and tissue bank.[3]

In November 2006, Omalu published a second Neurosurgery paper based on his findings in the brain of former NFL player Terry Long, who suffered from depression and committed suicide in 2005. Though Long died at 45, Omalu found tau protein concentrations more consistent with "a 90-year-old brain with advanced Alzheimer’s."[6] As with Mike Webster, Omalu asserted that Long’s football career had caused later brain damage and depression.[9] Omalu also found evidence of CTE in the brains of retired NFL players Justin Strzelczyk (d. 2004 at 36 years old), Andre Waters (d. 2006 at 44), and Tom McHale (d. 2008 at 45).

In summer 2007, Bailes presented his and Omalu's findings to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at a league-wide concussion summit. Bailes later said the research was "dismissed." The NFL's MTBI committee chair, Ira Casson, told the press: "In my opinion, the only scientifically valid evidence of a chronic encephalopathy in athletes is in boxers and in some Steeplechase jockeys."[8]

The NFL did not publicly acknowledge the link between concussions sustained in football and CTE until December 2009,[8] seven years after Omalu's discovery.

Omalu has also discovered CTE in the brains of military veterans, publishing the first documented case in a November 2011 article.[10] Omalu found evidence of CTE in a 27-year-old Iraq War veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and later committed suicide. Omalu’s paper links PTSD to the CTE spectrum of diseases and calls for further study.

His MS degree thesis title was on “The Stability of Low Tension Interfaces—Effects of layers of Discrete Dipoles and Charges”. His MS degree thesis title was on “The Stability of Low Tension Interfaces—Effects of layers of Discrete Dipoles and Charges”. The title of his doctoral thesis was “An Infrared Spectroscopic Study of the Isomerization and Hydrogenation of Cyclic Olefins Over Zinc Oxide”. Soni has over 39 years of experience in petroleum refining technologies and operations.

These guys are builders Trump respects them. Trump's main target are the towel-headed,bomb-brained numbskulls called muslims. They don't build, but rather come to your peaceful country and seek to destroy it. No sane country that wants to develop peacefully will allow muslim population to grow beyond 0.000001% of their entire population. The Japanese are very good at keeping their country away from the bomb-strapping Allah people.
