Football injuries: current concepts.

Curr Sports Med Rep

Minnesota Vikings, Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Published: September 2013

Football is one of the most popular sports in the United States and is the leading cause of sports-related injury. A large focus in recent years has been on concussions, sudden cardiac death, and heat illness, all thought to be largely preventable health issues in the young athlete. Injury prevention through better understanding of injury mechanisms, education, proper equipment, and practice techniques and preseason screening may aid in reducing the number of injuries. Proper management of on-field injuries and health emergencies can reduce the morbidity associated with these injuries and may lead to faster return to play and reduced risk of future injury. This article reviews current concepts surrounding frequently seen football-related injuries.

Proposal: Bold New Indications for Transcatheter Pulmonary Flow Restrictors.

Pediatr Cardiol

January 2025

Pediatric Heart Center, Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University Clinic, Theodor-Storm-Kai 7, 60596, Frankfurt, Germany.

This proposal presents a proof of concept for the use of pulmonary flow restrictors (PFRs) based on MVP™-devices, drawing from clinical experience, and explores their potential role in the management of newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), other complex left heart lesions, and infants with end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). At this early stage of age, manually adjusted PFRs can be tailored to patient's size and hemodynamic needs. Although currently used off-label, PFRs have substantial potential to improve outcomes in these vulnerable patient populations.

A novel method for solving the multiple-attribute decision-making problem is proposed using the complex Diophantine interval-valued Pythagorean normal set (CDIVPNS). This study aims to discuss aggregating operations and how they are interpreted. We discuss the concept of CDIVPN weighted averaging (CDIVPNWA), CDIVPN weighted geometric (CDIVPNWG), generalized CDIVPN weighted averaging (CGDIVPNWA) and generalized CGDIVPN weighted geometric (CGDIVPNWG).

Introduction: Ultrasound is important in heart diagnostics, yet implementing effective cardiac ultrasound requires training. While current strategies incorporate digital learning and ultrasound simulators, the effectiveness of these simulators for learning remains uncertain. This study evaluates the effectiveness of simulator-based versus human-based training in Focused Assessed with Transthoracic Echocardiography (FATE).

Adoptive T cell therapy targeting an inducible and broadly shared product of aberrant mRNA translation.

Immunity

December 2024

Division of Oncogenomics, Oncode institute, the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Erasmus MC, Department of Genetics, Rotterdam University, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

Prolonged exposure to interferon-gamma (IFNγ) and the associated increased expression of the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) create an intracellular shortage of tryptophan in the cancer cells, which stimulates ribosomal frameshifting and tryptophan to phenylalanine (W>F) codon reassignments during protein synthesis. Here, we investigated whether such neoepitopes can be useful targets of adoptive T cell therapy. Immunopeptidomic analyses uncovered hundreds of W>F neoepitopes mainly presented by the HLA-A24:02 allele.

ANNInter: A platform to explore ncRNA-ncRNA interactome of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Comput Biol Chem

December 2024

Bioinformatics Lab, National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, New Delhi 110067, India. Electronic address:

Eukaryotic transcriptomes are remarkably complex, encompassing not only protein-coding RNAs but also an expanding repertoire of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). In plants, ncRNA-ncRNA interactions (NNIs) have emerged as pivotal regulators of gene expression, orchestrating development and adaptive responses to stress. Despite their critical roles, the functional significance of NNIs remains poorly understood, largely due to a lack of comprehensive resources.
