Article Synopsis
- Professional soccer players are at risk for SARS-CoV-2, and Major League Soccer (MLS) has implemented strict testing protocols based on vaccination status to monitor and prevent outbreaks.
- In a study involving one MLS team in fall 2021, a player who traveled to Africa tested positive, leading to 10 additional infections among teammates and staff, with genome sequencing revealing Delta variants and potential transmission links.
- Whole genome sequencing (WGS) proved effective in tracking virus spread and identifying infection sources within the team, highlighting its value in managing COVID-19 in sports environments.
Objective: This literature review summarizes evidence on the safety and efficacy of intraarticular hyaluronic acid (IAHA) preparations approved in the United States for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
Design: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and SCOPUS databases. Only studies in which clinical outcomes of individual IAHA preparations alone could be assessed when compared to placebo, no treatment, other standard knee osteoarthritis treatments, and IAHA head-to-head studies were selected.
Objective: Assess how treatment with the viscosupplement hylan G-F 20 relates to opioid prescriptions and intraarticular corticosteroid injections (IACS) in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee (OAK).
Design: Case-crossover; adult patients with OAK identified in a claims database were treated with hylan G-F 20 from July 1, 2007, to June 29, 2017. Opioid or IACS prescriptions in the 6 months before treatment were compared to the 6 months after.
Background: Sensitive and specific screening methods are needed to identify athletes at risk of prolonged recovery after sport-related concussion (SRC). Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a common finding in concussed athletes.
Purpose: To assess the relationship between CI and recovery after SRC at the initial office visit.
