Abstract Introduction: The risk of injuries related to physical activity and sports may increase if there is predisposition, inappropriate training and/or coach guidance, and absence of sports medicine follow-up. Objective: To assess the frequency of injuries in athletes treated at a physiotherapy center specialized in sports. Methods: For the data collection was carried out the survey of injuries in records of athletes treated in eight years of activities. The data collected included: characteristics of patients, sport, injury kind, injury characteristics and affected body part. Results: From 1090 patient/athlete records, the average age was 25 years old, the athletes were spread across 44 different sports modalities, being the great majority men (75%). The most common type of injury was joint injury, followed by muscular and bone injuries. Chronic injury was the most frequent (47%), while the most common body part injured was the knee, followed by ankle and shoulder. Among all the sports, soccer, futsal, and track and field presented the highest number of injured athletes, respectively. Conclusion: Soccer was the most common sport among the injured athletes, injury kind most frequent was joint injuries and knee was the body part most injured. Chronic injuries were the most common.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Sports injury is an important reason to interfere with sports training and physical exercise since it will not only bring unnecessary pain to the injured body, but also bring out negative emotions in athletes. Objective: To study the sports injury characteristics of high level competitive aerobics athletes in China. Methods: Literature data, questionnaire survey, expert interviews, field observation, mathematical statistics and physiotherapy tracking were used. Results: Wrists, ankles, waist and knees were the most frequently injured parts in high level competitive aerobics athletes in China. The main type of injury was acute injury, but chronic injury (48.18%) could not be ignored. Ninety percent of active high-level competitive aerobics athletes train with injuries, and 10 percent of them completely stop training because of injuries. Conclusions: Athletes should pay attention to their physical reserve and strengthen physical training. They must also be attentive to self-supervision, their own subjective feelings, and control the amount of exercise done. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

Introduction: The management of type A thoracolumbar fractures varies from conservative treatment to multiple level fusion. Indeed, although Magerl defined the type A fracture as a strictly bone injury, several authors suggested associated disc lesions or degeneration after trauma. However, the preservation of mobility of the adjacent discs should be a major issue. This study was conducted to analyze the presence of immediate post-traumatic disc injuries and to know if discs degenerate after receiving treatment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the files of 27 patients with an AOspine A fracture, corresponding to 34 fractures (64 discs) with pre and post-operative MRI (mean follow-up: 32.4 months). Based on Pfirrmann’s and Oner’s classifications of disc injuries, two observers analyzed independently the type of lesion in the discs adjacent to the fractured vertebra in immediate post-trauma and at the last follow-up. Results: The immediate post-traumatic analysis according to Pfirrmann’s classification found 97% of the cranial adjacent discs and 100% of the caudal discs classified Pfirrmann 3 or less. The analysis on the secondary MRI revealed that 78% of cranial adjacent discs and 88% of caudal adjacent discs still were classified Pfirrmann 3 or less. Conclusions: Since, the great majority of type A fractures does not cause immediate disc injuries, these fractures are, as described by Magerl, strictly bony injuries. The quality of the body reduction seems to prevent secondary degeneration. These results may encourage surgeons not to perform arthrodesis on type A fractures even for A3 and A4.

Pyogenic Abscess

Abstract We report a series of 21 patients with basal ganglia and thalamic granulomas or abscesses treated over 7 years. Among them, 15 were tubercular, 5 were pyogenic, and 1 was fungal. Pyogenic abscesses, usually hematogenous, also occurred secondary to osteomyelitis of the skull and chronic otitis media. The fungal abscess developed in a nonimmunocompromised patient with no intercurrent malignancy. Evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body was detected in only 7 patients with tuberculomas. The computed tomographic (CT) image morphology characterizing an abscess or a tuberculoma was present in all except 2 patients with tuberculomas. The fungal abscess resembled a malignant glioma. The only hospital mortality occurred in a deeply unconscious patient with a thalamic pyogenic abscess. A 12-month or longer follow-up in 16 patients showed that 3 continued to be handicapped neurologically, and 2 died 13 and 16 months later, respectively. We conclude that inflammatory lesions at these sites are not uncommon and that CT scans are diagnostic in the great majority. Doubtful diagnosis merits stereotactic aspiration or biopsy of the lesion. Satisfactory results follow adequate medical therapy.

We aimed to assess the risk of injury associated with training activities in a population of elite adolescent judo athletes, expected to represent South Korea. From 2019, we prospectively collected data on elite adolescent judo athletes at the Korean Training Center. The athletes were assessed by sports medicine doctors, and data were stratified according to sex, weight class, and injury location. We used χ2 tests to compare groups. Injury rates were expressed as Poisson rates with 95% confidence intervals. One-way analysis of variance was used to investigate the pain score and recovery time due to type of injury. The study included 240 elite adolescent judo athletes whose 617 injuries (annual average, 2.57 injuries/athlete) were recorded. When all athletes were considered, most injuries occurred in the lower extremities (39.71%), followed by the upper extremities (36.63%), trunk (16.69%), and head and neck area (6.97%). Recovery time significantly differed according to the body regions in the weight classes. The pain score and recovery time according to the type of injury were significantly different. When the pain score decreased by 1, the recovery time decreased by about 1.47 days. In all weight classes, female athletes had a higher injury rate than male athletes; both male and female athletes had different recovery time depending on their weight class. The type of injury influenced the pain score and recovery time, with pain score being associated with recovery time.

ntroduction: Upper body injuries are less common than lower body injuries in basketball, but there is still a lack of knowled-ge about the relationship among their occurrence and the performance profile of professional basketball players. This study aimed to analyse the relationships between upper-body injuries and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of basketball players. Material and method: Statistical variables of 554 professional basketball players (age: 26.97±4.86 years, height: 199.23±8.80 cm, minutes per season: 441.18±301.41) in Spanish ACB (Asociación de Clubes de Baloncesto) professional competition were analysed for two seasons (2012-13 and 2013-14). Besided, injury reports were registered and injuries were categorized with OSICS-10 classification. The players who played the most minutes during the season were more likely to suffer lumbar spine, head, wrist, and hand injuries. The players injured in the thoracic spine obtained a better average in steals per minute. The players injured in the head or the elbow had better +/- performance per minute. The players injured in the neck had better means per minute in received fouls, free throws made and attempted. Results: The players injured in the lumbar spine had better means, per minute played, in assists, probably by their continuous column twists to protect the ball with the body to avoid bumps. Players injured in the shoulder had more blocked shots per minute than those not injured, probably because the realization of a block involves a shoulder flexion and rotation. It would be interesting to carry out a specific follow-up in this type of player, for this type of injury. This information could be helpful to improve injury prevention with the use of KPIs of basketball.

Heart rates and systolic and diastolic blood pressures of 15 subjects were measured before, during, and after a series of four proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) flexibility exercises. The protocol for the study involved the use of two new machines, one designed to increase flexibility of the erector spinae, the other the hamstrings. Each machine provided constant feedback of isometric force, angular displacements, time of contraction, repetitions, and other exercise variables. Each bout of exercise involved an isometric contraction of the lengthened agonist muscle group (12 sec) followed by a concentric contraction of its antagonist in order to place the body part in a more stretched position. Hemodynamic measurements were determined at both a perceived maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and at 50% MVIC. Significant increases in hemodynamic factors were observed when exercise measures were compared to pre- and postexercise (resting) values. Higher values, though not significantly so, were found at MVIC than at 50% MVIC on both machines. All values were well within the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine. Key words: blood pressure, heart rate, exercise prescription, isometric contraction

There is growing appreciation among human factors and safety specialists regarding the frequent link between ergonomic defects in job, workstation, and/or equipment design, and job-related accidents and injuries. With the objective of critically addressing this question, we analyzed the nature and cause of disabling injuries suffered by employees of a large northwest telephone company over the period 5/74 through 6/81. The data base consists of disabling injury claims accepted by the Oregon Workers Compensation Department. A total of 395 claims over the 86 month period were analyzed. We judged that the injury source designations were specific enough to enable us to provisionally categorize the injuries into three major groups: (1) probable ergonomic cause (manual materials handling); (2) possible ergonomic cause (falls, free bodily motion); and non-ergonomic cause (all other injury sources). Under this categorization, 26.1% of the disabling injuries had probable, 49.4% possible, and 24.5% no ergonomic cause. Free bodily motion and falls each accounted for 25% of all injuries, with lifting (14%) the third most common source of injury. Muscular strain from all sources was the most frequent type of injury, representing 59% of all injuries. The body part most frequently affected was the back (39% of total injuries; 50% of all strains). The results suggest that ergonomic factors may play a significant if not dominant role in disabling injuries suffered by telephone workers, with muscular strain, particularly to the back, being the most prevalent type of injury.

Abstract Background Regular skin self-examination (SSE) reduces melanoma mortality but is not often conducted. Purpose To promote SSE performance in individuals at increased risk for melanoma. Methods One hundred sixteen individuals at heightened risk for development of melanoma (i.e., personal/family history of melanoma, high-risk mole phenotype) who did not conduct a thorough SSE during in the prior 3 months were randomly assigned to receive either an automated internet-based intervention (mySmartCheck) or usual care (UC). One hundred sixteen participants completed surveys before random assignment and 99 completed the follow-up survey 13-weeks afterward. The primary outcome was participant self-reported examination (SSE) of all 15 parts of the body in the last 3 months. Secondary outcomes were SSE of any part of the body in the last 3 months and number of body parts examined during the last SSE. Results More mySmartCheck participants examined all 15 body parts (32.6% vs. 7.1%, p = .001). More individuals in mySmartCheck reported conducting SSE on any body part than those in UC (81.4% vs. 62.5%, p = .04). Effect sizes were large (d = 1.19 all 15 body parts) to moderate (d = 0.55 for any body part). mySmartCheck participants examined more body areas than UC participants (12.7 vs. 10.3, p = 0.003) during the last SSE. Participants in mySmartCheck reported higher levels of knowledge of suspicious lesions, SSE benefits, SSE self-efficacy, and planning for SSE, and lower SSE barriers, than those assigned to UC. Conclusions mySmartCheck had a significant positive impact on SSE performance and behaviors. Additional research with a larger sample size, a longer follow-up, and more varied clinical settings is needed. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov registration # NCT03725449 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03725449).
