Case report of nuclear medicine, bone scan imaging on a patient with heat stroke induced rhabdomyolysis
J Nucl Med Technol. 2021 Jul 30:jnmt.121.262501. doi: 10.2967/jnmt.121.262501. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBone scan continues to be the second greatest-volume nuclear imaging procedure, offering the advantage of total body examination, low cost, and high sensitivity not only for metastatic lesions but also benign conditions. Its power rests in the physiological uptake and pathophysiologic behavior of 99m technetium (99m-Tc) diphosphonates. 1 The localization of radiotracers in damaged skeletal muscles is because calcium builds up in them and provides a site for radiotracer deposition when combined with phosphate.1 In ca...

'Want to live longer? Try racquet sports', recommends study
Conclusion The overall conclusion we can take from this study is that taking part in sport or fitness activities is linked to a lower chance of death in a given period. It's encouraging to see that a wide range of popular activities, including swimming, aerobics and cycling, are likely to be beneficial. But we should be wary about comparing the types of different sports against each other. They weren't directly compared in the study and there may be reasons why results for some activities, such as football and running, were found to be statistically non-significant (potentially down to chance). Statistician Professor David...

Thermoregulation, Fluid Balance, and Sweat Losses in American Football Players
Abstract Numerous studies have reported on the thermoregulation and hydration challenges athletes face in team and individual sports during exercise in the heat. Comparatively less research, however, has been conducted on the American Football player. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review data collected in laboratory and field studies and discuss the thermoregulation, fluid balance, and sweat losses of American Football players. American Football presents a unique challenge to thermoregulation compared with other sports because of the encapsulating nature of the required protective equipment, large b...

Exertional Heat Stroke: Strategies for Prevention and Treatment From the Sports Field to the Emergency Department
Exertional heat illness is a category of conditions commonly seen during sports participation in the hot summer months. Exertional heat stroke, in particular, is a dangerous condition involving hyperthermia and central nervous system dysfunction, which, if not properly treated, is potentially deadly. All on-site medical personnel, emergency physicians, and coaches involved in sports participation need to be aware of the recognition and treatment of heat illnesses. Emergency physicians must be equally aware of recognition, treatment, and return-to-play decisions to ensure athletes are quickly and effectively treated and ret...

In the absence of diagnosed concussion in collegiate contact sport athletes, a relationship is suggested between the effects of head impact exposure, white matter diffusivity measures and cognition
Commentary on: McAllister TW, Ford JC, Flashman LA, et al.. Effect of head impacts on diffusivity measures in a cohort of collegiate contact sport athletes. Neurology 2014;82:63–9. Context There is growing concern that head impacts sustained during contact sports may lead not only to concussion but also to increased susceptibility to concussion, long-term cognitive decline and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Study findings on this matter have been contradictory. A previous study by this group suggested that collegiate contact sport athletes are vulnerable to the cognitive effects of repetitive head impacts.1 Method...
