Over the past several decades there has been a dramatic change in the landscape of youth sports. This article provides an overview of sport-related injuries in the child and adolescent populations, looking at changes over the past 10 to 15 years. A closer look at frequently seen injuries, including assessment, diagnosis, and management in osteochondritis dissecans, sprains, fractures, anterior cruciate ligament, and meniscus tears, is provided. Current protocols and screening tools for this population are discussed, including preparticipation screening. The nursing implications in the clinical and community setting are identified, with ways to incorporate this information into practice.

Objective: To identify factors associated with return to canine agility competition after cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR).
Methods: Retrospective owner reports of dogs competing in agility at the time of CCLR and which were ≥ 2 years from the date of initial injury were analyzed. An online questionnaire was used to collect information related to dog signalment, agility activities, CCLR injury and treatment, and return to competition after injury.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly metastatic malignancy. More than 80% of patients with PC present with advanced-stage disease, preventing potentially curative surgery. The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system, best known for its role in controlling energy homeostasis, has also been shown to promote tumorigenesis in a range of cancer types, but its role in PC has yet to be explored.
