Medicolegal approach to skin lesions in trafficking victims: A case report.

Trafficking in human beings is an ancient phenomenon. The fight against trafficking in human beings is conceived as a priority by the European Union. Trafficked victims experience many types of abuse and neglect.

Child abuse and neglect: Are future medical doctors prepared?

Diagnosis of child abuse and neglect is a challenging matter: in case of misdiagnosis, the child cannot benefit from an early treatment; erroneous interpretation may generate legal issues. Some studies reported physicians' lack of knowledge in child abuse and neglect. However, it is not clear if the reasons of this lack relay on an insufficient preparation of students during medical school and/or a deficiency in continuing medical education during/after fellowships.

National athletic trainers' association position statement: preventing, detecting, and managing disordered eating in athletes.

Objective: To present recommendations for the prevention, detection, and comprehensive management of disordered eating (DE) in athletes.

Background: Athletes with DE rarely self-report their symptoms. They tend to deny the condition and are often resistant to referral and treatment.

Assessment and evaluation of predisposing factors to anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Objective: Injury to the knee, specifically the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), constitutes one of the most serious disabling injuries in sports. Women are reportedly at an increased risk. Prevention depends on identifying possible risk factors that may contribute to an athlete's susceptibility to injury.

Family size and age at menarche in athletes.

The association between family size and age at menarche was evaluated in 370 university athletes representing seven sports, 291 white and 79 black. Age at menarche, number of children in the family (family size), and birth order were collected retrospectively by questionnaire with a follow-up interview if necessary. The effect of family size on menarche was estimated with linear regression and multiple regression.

Age at menarche in athletes and their mothers and sisters.

Retrospective ages at menarche were obtained from 109 university athletes and their mothers, and from 77 sisters of the athletes. The athletes were participants in seven sports. Mean age (+/- SD) at menarche of the 109 athletes was identical with that of the total sample of 338 athletes from which they were drawn, 13.

A modified Bristow-Helfet-May procedure for recurrent dislocation and subluxation of the shoulder. Report of two hundred and twelve cases.

A modified Bristow-Helfet-May procedure was performed for recurrent dislocation or subluxation of the glenohumeral joint in 207 patients (212 shoulders), whose average age at the time of surgery was 20.3 years (range, fourteen to forty-seven years). The procedure was modified by directing the coracoid segment and conjoined tendon over the superior border rather than through the substance of the subscapularis tendon and muscle.

A preliminary study on the measurement of static and dynamic motion at the glenohumeral joint.

Measurement of glenohumeral joint motion has, for the most part, been performed with the simple goniometer. The purpose of this paper is to describe a method for measuring and recording static and dynamic external rotation of the glenohumeral joint using the Cybex II Isokinetic Dynamometer and an MFE model 815 X-Y plotter. Static range of motion was assessed at 60 deg/sec using a slow arm action externally from a 90 degree abduction position.

Adhesive strapping techniques.

The thoroughness of the clinical evaluation will dictate the necessity of adhesive strappings and their effectiveness in providing external support to injured areas. It is essential that the mechanism of injury and underlying anatomy be identified. In individual cases, the extent and severity of tissue damage will differ.
