Ultrasound-Guided Lumbar Spine Injection for Axial and Radicular Pain: A Single Institution Early Experience.

Study Design: Clinical audit via retrospective review of a database.

Purpose: To report an early experience using ultrasound-guided lumbar spinal injection for axial and radicular pain in an Asian multiethnic cohort.

Overview Of Literature: Ultrasound-guided spine injection therapy is a comparatively new technique in the management of axial and radicular pain from degenerative lumbar spinal conditions, which may be a reasonable alternative to conventional fluoroscopic or computed tomography-guided injection.

Pilot single-centre cross-sectional study to determine emergency physicians' knowledge and management of sports concussion: an experience from Singapore.

Introduction: Sports concussion remains challenging to manage despite changes to policy and practice since the 2012 International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport. Emergency physicians (EPs) are usually the first line of medical care for athletes in amateur and youth collision sports. This single-centre cross-sectional study aimed to establish EPs' understanding and management of concussion in Singapore.

The Effects of Eccentric Conditioning Stimuli on Subsequent Counter-Movement Jump Performance.

The eccentric phase in a stretch-shortening cycle is an important determinant of subsequent concentric performance, but there is little information on high-intensity eccentric preconditioning. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of varying degrees of eccentric conditioning stimuli on subsequent counter-movement jump (CMJ) performance. Fourteen participants (age, 28.
