Rationale: Stable carbon and oxygen isotope data of biogenic and abiogenic aragonite are of fundamental relevance in paleoclimate research. Wet-chemical analysis of such materials requires well-homogenized, fine-grained powder. In the present study, the effect of different grinding/milling methods on sample homogeneity and the potential risk of unintentional calcite formation and isotope shift were evaluated.

However, parameters retrieved from individual experiments are model dependent and their estimation is limited, if based on solely one kind of experiment. Hence, methods to integrate data collected under different conditions are expected to improve model validation and information content.

Evidence Acquisition: Literature searches were performed on PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases for the years 2000 to 2016 utilizing the following key search terms: ADHD, ADD, guidelines, diagnosis, athlete, sports, treatment, pharmacotherapy, stimulants, risk, cardiovascular effects, concussion, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Study Design: Clinical review.
A 14-year-old Caucasian boy presented to our clinic with a complaint of left anterior hip pain. The patient had been running during a flag football match when he suddenly developed a sharp, stabbing pain in his left hip. He said he felt a "pop" in his left groin while his left foot was planted and he was cutting to the right.
