摘要:

In brief: This retrospective survey of the clinical records of 1,650 patients seen from 1978 to 1980 identified 1,819 injuries. Almost 60% of the patients were men, but women under age 30 had the greatest risk of overuse running injuries. The knee was the most commonly injured site, and patellofemoral pain syndrome was the most common injury. Most patients had moderate to severe degrees of varus alignment and subsequent overpronation. Because certain injuries were more frequent in one sex or the other, the authors say future studies should differentiate injuries by sex.

摘要:

In brief: A group of radiologists and orthopedic surgeons discusses the use of x-rays, CAT scans, bone scans, arthrograms, and xeroradiograms in diagnosing sports injuries. Head, spine, knee, and ankle injuries, spleen ruptures, shoulder separations, and stress fractures are covered. The panelists agree that radiologists and sports physicians should maintain good working relationships so that examinations can be tailored to each athlete using the least number of films possible.

摘要:

In brief: The author has created a sportsmedicine bag to cover life-threatening emergencies that might arise during football or hockey games. The items in it can be divided into (1) medication to handle the acute phase and a container to carry it, (2) ancillary equipment for cardiopulmonary and head/neck trauma, and (3) a communication system to call an ambulance quickly. The author also suggests carrying a backboard and universal knee splint.

摘要:

In brief: In these case reports of two highly trained runners, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was initially diagnosed as an intramuscular hematoma and a Baker's cyst. Both runners responded well to anticoagulant therapy and were able to resume their training programs. Even though otherwise healthy, conditioned patients are not typical candidates, the authors urge that DVT be considered in the differential diagnosis of athletes with leg pain or swelling because of the threat of pulmonary embolism.

摘要:

In brief: Echocardiographic studies permit direct, accurate measurements of the ventricular wall thickness and cavity diameter. The authors review several of these studies, which show that elite athletes' left ventricles are larger than those of sedentary persons. Left ventricular wall thickness is greater in athletes excelling in sports involving static exercise, whereas those in endurance sports have larger ventricular cavities. These differences in cardiac dimensions may be the result of genetic makeup, prolonged and strenuous training, or a combination of both. Studies of short-term training showed only minor or no changes in left ventricular morphology, although significant improvements in performance and aerobic capacity were reported.

摘要:

In brief: There are relatively few injuries in competitive cycling, and abrasions are the most common. In this study most injuries occurred to the left side of the cyclist, and most common causes were flat tires and colliding with other cyclists. The number of injuries decreased as the cyclist gained more experience. Preventive measures include keeping the bicycle in top mechanical condition, wearing strong, durable clothing and a helmet, and knowing how to fall.

There is nothing quite like the mystery or excitement of a transatlantic journey, especially when the opportunities to exercise are as entertaining as the other nautical diversions.
