The financial cost of injuries and their association with team success in professional men's cricket.

Objectives: To quantify the direct and indirect costs associated with injuries in professional men's cricket from 2015/16 to 2021/22 and to report the association between the cost of injuries and team success.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: Injury insurance claims were obtained for cricket-related injuries to determine direct costs.

Validation and Utility of Drug-Nutrient Interaction and Dietary Supplement Mechanistic Activity in the Natural Medicines Database.

Purpose: The increasing use of dietary supplements by patients with cancer and other chronic diseases requires the systematized review of potential interactions between prescription drugs and nutrients from supplements by health care and clinical research teams. Dietary supplement interaction databases are positioned to fill a gap in quantifying potential risks for patients, although none have been assessed for reliability in data interpretation. The NatMed database, a source for comprehensive reports on mechanistic and safety data for dietary supplement ingredients, was evaluated for use in future investigations.

Reduced influence of perceptual context in mild traumatic brain injury is not an illusion.

Perceptual grouping is impaired following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This may affect visual size perception, a process influenced by perceptual grouping abilities. We conducted two experiments to evaluate visual size perception in people with self-reported history of mTBI, using two different size-contrast illusions: the Ebbinghaus Illusion (Experiment 1) and the Müller-Lyer illusion (Experiment 2).

Integrative medicine for hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS): a feasibility study.

Purpose: Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are multisystem conditions marked by dysfunctional connective tissue. This feasibility study evaluated a 9-week integrative medicine program in this population.

Methods: Using a single-arm study design, adults with HSD or EDS were given recommendations for an anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet and self-management with additional behavioral and psychosocial support.

A similar injury profile observed in franchise men's and women's cricket in England and Wales: injury surveillance analysis from the first three 'The Hundred' competitions.

Objectives: To describe the injury profile of a novel format cricket competition ('The Hundred') and compare injury incidence and prevalence between the men's and women's competitions.

Methods: Medical staff prospectively collected injury data from the eight men's and women's teams during the 2021-2023 competitions. Injury definitions and incidence calculations followed the international consensus statement.
