Background: Injury risk is high in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students. Insights into specific injury locations per sex, setting, sports, and curriculum year are needed to develop preventive measures.
Purpose: To compare injury distributions by body locations in PETE students and how these distributions differ by sex, type, onset, curriculum year, settings, or sports.
Objectives: To investigate the influence of sports/activity types and their distribution over the curriculum years on intracurricular injury risk differences between curriculum years and sexes in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) studies.
Methods: In a cohort study over 14 years (2000-2014), injuries reported at the medical facility of a Dutch vocational institute by PETE students who completed their full curriculum were registered. Intracurricular injury rates (IR) per 1000 hours and 95% CIs were calculated per sport, sex and curriculum year and compared with injury rate ratios (RR) and 95% CI.
Risk management has reduced vulnerability to floods and droughts globally, yet their impacts are still increasing. An improved understanding of the causes of changing impacts is therefore needed, but has been hampered by a lack of empirical data. On the basis of a global dataset of 45 pairs of events that occurred within the same area, we show that risk management generally reduces the impacts of floods and droughts but faces difficulties in reducing the impacts of unprecedented events of a magnitude not previously experienced.

However, in England the uptake of these measures remains low. Flood experience has been found to influence preparedness (i.

Objective: This systematic review describes the most common injuries among youth basketball players.
Aim: Study concurrent validity of a new sensor-based 3D motion capture (MoCap) tool to register knee, hip and spine joint angles during the single leg squat.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: University laboratory.

Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: Judo training centres.
In this paper, empirical data are used to estimate the parameters of a sociohydrological flood risk model. The proposed model, which describes the interactions between floods, settlement density, awareness, preparedness, and flood loss, is based on the literature. Data for the case study of Dresden, Germany, over a period of 200 years, are used to estimate the model parameters through Bayesian inference.

Design: Case-control.
Setting: Sports physiotherapy clinics and sports clubs.
Background: The relationship between injury risk (IR) in age groups and periods around peak height velocity (PHV) remains unclear. PHV is defined as the moment of the largest increase in body height.
Purpose: To investigate injury risk and injury burden as functions of growth velocity (periods around PHV) and chronological age groupings (under 12 years [U12] to U19) in talented youth male soccer players.
Background: In contrast to treatment with oral or intramuscular analgesics, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (E.S.W.

Design: Prospective case series.
Methods: Thirty-four football players with ARGP with median pre-injury Tegner scores of 9 (IQR 25-75: 9-9) were treated with manual therapy of the adductor muscles.
Purpose: One of the major challenges in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of renal cell carcinoma is internal motion during treatment. Previous literature has aimed to mitigate the effects of motion by expanding the treatment margins or respiratory tracking. Online magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiation therapy has the potential to further improve the treatment of renal cell carcinoma by direct visualization of the tumor during treatment.

The relationship of groin injury and groin symptoms to reduced hip range of motion (ROM) and previous injury is unclear. Objectives To conduct a retrospective assessment of associations between previous injury and preseason hip ROM and preseason prevalence of severe groin symptoms, and to prospectively identify risk factors for within-season groin injury.

A single intravesical instillation of chemotherapy within 10 days following nephro-ureterectomy has the potential to decrease the risk of a bladder recurrence significantly. Despite recommendation by the European Association of Urology guideline to administer a single instillation postoperatively, the compliance rate is low because the risk of extravasation of chemotherapy.

This study aimed to gather systematically the scientific evidence on the incidence, prevalence, aetiology and preventive measures for musculoskeletal injuries among recreational basketball players.
Methods: Highly sensitive search strategies were built based on three groups of keywords (and related search terms).
Background: The standard treatment of T1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is (partial) nephrectomy. For patients where surgery is not the treatment of choice, for example in the elderly, in case of severe comorbidity, inoperability, or refusal of surgery, alternative treatment options are available. These treatment options include active surveillance (AS), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), cryoablation (CA), microwave ablation (MWA), or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

Objective: There are no Dutch language disease-specific questionnaires for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome available that could help Dutch physiotherapists to assess and monitor these symptoms and functional limitations. The aim of this study was to translate the original disease-specific Kujala Patellofemoral Score into Dutch and evaluate its reliability.
Methods: The questionnaire was translated from English into Dutch in accordance with internationally recommended guidelines.
At our institution a treatment for kidney tumours with an MRI-Linac is under development. In order to set inclusion criteria for this treatment the anatomical eligibility criteria and the influence of the motion compensation strategy on the delivered dose should be known. Twenty patients with a renal lesion underwent an MR-scan to image the kidney.

Eighty adolescent team handball players (NMT: n = 49, RT: n = 31) were tested on knee kinematics in a drop jump and single leg stability in a 1-leg hop test. Based on the initial results in the drop jump test, both groups were subdivided into an above-average valgus aligned (AAVA; NMT: n = 27, RT: n = 22) and a below average valgus aligned (NMT: n = 22, RT: n = 9) group.
