Article Synopsis
- Brain health concerns in contact sports have shifted focus from just concussions to the risks posed by repetitive head impacts (RHI), making RHI assessment crucial for athlete safety, especially in rodeo, which lacks existing research on this issue.
- * Rodeo athletes in "Roughstock" events were monitored for head acceleration events (HAE) using impact tracking mouthguards, with confirmation through video and statistical analysis.
- * Results show rodeo has a high rate of HAE, particularly in Bull Riding, where impacts occur mainly during dismounts, while Bareback Riding shows more frequent but lower magnitude head movements due to whiplash effects.
Objective: The present study aimed to assess the potential influence of a diagnosis of ADHD on concussion recovery among collegiate athletes.
Design: Retrospective and cross-sectional.
Methods: Data were extracted retrospectively from medical records across LIMBIC MATARS member institutions ( = 11), representing 1,044 concussion cases among collegiate athletes.
Purpose: We investigated time to reach concussion diagnosis and recovery milestones in collegiate athletes relative to their schools' National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) classification.
Methods: We retrospectively examined 849 (43.1% female) concussion cases from 11 NCAA institutions (Division I Power 5 [ = 4], Division I Non-Power 5 [ = 4], and Division II/III [ = 3]) from the 2015-16 to 2019-20 athletic seasons.
People with diabetes often encounter stigma (ie, negative social judgments, stereotypes, prejudice), which can adversely affect emotional, mental, and physical health; self-care, access to optimal health care; and social and professional opportunities. To accelerate an end to diabetes stigma and discrimination, an international multidisciplinary expert panel (n=51 members, from 18 countries) conducted rapid reviews and participated in a three-round Delphi survey process. We achieved consensus on 25 statements of evidence and 24 statements of recommendations.
