Background: Young female athletes may have higher rates of overuse injuries and sport specialization than male athletes. The association of sports specialization and return to sport (RTS) timeframe is also unknown.
Hypothesis: Specialized female athletes will have more intense, year-round training patterns, more overuse injuries, and longer RTS times than male athletes.
Article Synopsis
- Primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) is a rare lung condition where lymphoid cells grow abnormally, leading to symptoms like cough, fever, and shortness of breath; it can often be misdiagnosed as tuberculosis due to overlapping symptoms.
- Accurate diagnosis of PPL is critical and typically requires small biopsies for histopathological analysis, guiding treatment options such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
- The text presents a case of a patient initially thought to have tuberculosis but diagnosed with PPL through thorough evaluations, including a thoracoscopy-guided biopsy, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for effective diagnosis and management.
Background: Overuse injuries in youth athletes are associated with risks, including sports specialization, biological maturation, female sex, and workload measures. As no assessment tool exists to evaluate risk accumulation, we developed a novel risk factor scoring system (Sport Training Assessment of Risk [STAR]) to assess participants' risk of overuse injury and explore association with return-to-play (RTP) time periods.
Hypothesis: (1) STAR will reach an acceptable predictive threshold in the assessment of overuse injury in youth athletes.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is one of the chronic autoimmune diseases characterized by the infiltration of excess collagen in various organs, especially the skin. It is found to be associated with a higher prevalence of internal malignancies, particularly lung carcinoma. Herein, we report a case of adenosquamous carcinoma confining within the lung in a patient who had long-standing SSc.

However, diagnosing EPTB remains challenging due to its pauci-bacillary nature and the necessity for invasive sampling methods in many forms of the disease. Urogenital tuberculosis represents approximately 4% of the annual cases of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in India, with isolated testicular tuberculosis being a particularly rare manifestation.
