BACKGROUND: There is growing interest among emergency physicians to seek additional training in Sports Medicine (SM) and to add it to their clinical practice. This presents unique training and practice management issues. The majority of Primary Care SM fellowship programs list that they will accept emergency physicians, and approximately one-third have already had an emergency physician as an SM fellow. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this article is to provide an overview of the key elements for emergency physicians to consider as they pursue SM career goals...

In the UK, when a young person dies suddenly, the coroner is responsible for establishing the cause of death. They will ask a consultant pathologist to carry out an autopsy in order to ascertain when, where and how that person died. Once the cause of death is established and is due to natural causes, the coroner can issue a death certificate. Importantly, the coroner is not particularly interested in the cause of death as long as it is due to natural causes, which avoids the need for an inquest (a public hearing about the death)...

CONTEXT: Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is one of the leading causes of death in athletes. Certified athletic trainers (ATs) demonstrate strong knowledge of recommended practices with EHS but are apprehensive in implementing 2 basic procedures: rectal temperature assessment and cold water immersion. This apprehension might lead to deaths from EHS that could have been prevented. OBJECTIVE: To investigate why collegiate and high school ATs do not implement best practices for the recognition and treatment of EHS...

BACKGROUND: A lack of health coverage at athletic competitions and practices poses concern over the knowledge coaches have in providing adequate health care to high school (HS) athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the need for education of coaches in the prevention, assessment and management of sports-related injuries in South Dakota (SD). METHODS: Survey link e-mailed to 1,050 HS athletic head coaches in SD; 247 (23.5 percent) completed the prospective, web-based survey...

INTRODUCTION: Asthma is frequent in elite athletes and the high prevalence of asthma might be associated with specific types of sport. It has been suggested that chronic endurance training might increase the number of neutrophils in the airways, and this may reflect airway injury. The use of anti-asthmatic medication in elite athletes is also currently under scrutiny in order to reduce the risk of under-treatment or over treatment. OBJECTIVES: Determine the use of anti-asthmatic medication and the prevalence of asthma-like symptoms and asthma in Danish elite athletes...

CONTEXT: Computerized neurocognitive testing is becoming popular among clinicians evaluating sport-related concussions across all levels of sport. Baseline neurocognitive testing has been recommended to provide more accurate representation of the preconcussion cognitive status of individual athletes. However, little is known about the use of baseline neurocognitive testing in concussion assessment and management. OBJECTIVE: To examine implementation and practice trends of sports medicine professionals using baseline neurocognitive testing at the high school and collegiate levels...

A two-phase exploratory and comparative research study using a Delphi technique and a web-based national survey was done to determine leadership content (i.e., theories, styles, or practices) important to include in athletic training education. Eighteen athletic training experts participated in the Delphi technique, followed by 161 athletic trainers completing the national survey. Consensus of experts was reached after two rounds (77% interrater agreement, alpha = 0.80 and alpha = 0.93 per respective round) and identified 31 leadership content items important to include in athletic training education...

OBJECTIVE: Because of the increase in both the prevalence and complexity of chronic diseases in children, there is heightened awareness of the need for general pediatricians to be prepared to comanage their patients with chronic disorders with subspecialists. It is not known currently how well prepared general pediatricians believe themselves to be for these roles after residency training. This study was conducted to determine the perspectives of recently trained general pediatricians in practice regarding their decisions on residency choice, career choice, and adequacy of training...

The practice of moderate and regular sports is beneficial for health, and should then always be promoted. The intensive practice of sports, especially for competition, increases the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with heart disease. Facing to a patient with heart disease requiring a certificate of non-contra-indication for sports practice, the cardiologist can sometimes consider himself/herself helpless for managing accurately the situation. Recently, recommendations have been published and summarized herein, in order to guide the final decision...
