Article Synopsis
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) is influenced by various genetic and environmental factors, including lifestyle choices like tobacco and alcohol use, nutrition, and physical activity levels.
- A survey conducted among HC patients at the University of Michigan found these individuals reported lower alcohol and tobacco use but also less physical activity compared to the general population.
- Increased inactivity and obesity in HC patients could heighten cardiovascular risks, indicating a need for more research on how exercise impacts their health to balance immediate risks with long-term benefits.
Objectives: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infection is an increasing problem in athletic populations, with outbreaks spreading among team members. Due to this elevated risk, several strategies have been adopted from nonsports settings to avoid and to control CA-MRSA outbreaks within athletic teams, including the use of surveillance nasal cultures to identify CA-MRSA carriers for decolonization. We sought to assess the effectiveness of such a surveillance program in reducing CA-MRSA infections over 1 season in a professional football team.
