Methods for epidemiological studies in competitive cycling: an extension of the IOC consensus statement on methods for recording and reporting of epidemiological data on injury and illness in sport 2020.

In 2020, the IOC released a consensus statement that provides overall guidelines for the recording and reporting of epidemiological data on injury and illness in sport. Some aspects of this statement need to be further specified on a sport-by-sport basis. To extend the IOC consensus statement on methods for recording and reporting of epidemiological data on injury and illness in sports and to meet the sport-specific requirements of all cycling disciplines regulated by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment of sports-related severe acute hamstring injuries.

Purpose: hamstring injury is the most common musculoskeletal disorder and one of the main causes of missed sporting events. Shortening the time to return to play (TTRTP) is a priority for athletes and sports medicine practitioners.

Hypothesis: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection at the site of severe acute hamstring injury increases the healing rate and shortens the TTRTP.

Myositis ossificans traumatica (circumscripta) and return to sport: A retrospective series of 19 cases.

Objective: Myositis ossificans is a worrisome complication of muscle lesions in sports medicine. Our goal is to specify clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic elements to guide a myositis ossificans traumatica patient back into sport.

Method: All patients having consulted between January 2006 and December 2012 presenting myositis ossificans with a recent muscle injury from playing sports were included.

Clinical predictors of time to return to competition following hamstring injuries.

Objectives: hamstring strain injuries are the most common sports-related muscle injuries and one of the main causes of missed sporting events.

Hypothesis: clinical findings reflecting hamstring injury severity at presentation predict time to sports resumption.

Design: cohort study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2.

Pulmonary edema in scuba divers: recurrence and fatal outcome.

Pulmonary edema occurring in divers using a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) is an uncommon, probably under-reported, but potentially life-threatening and recurrent condition. We report six episodes of pulmonary edema in five scuba divers seen during a period of 15 months. The four men and one woman ranged in age from 37 to 56 years and two were treated for hypertension.
