Help Web SportsLine Home NFL NBA MLB ... NFL.com Unc Study Tallies 23 Deaths Among Football Players In 2001 July 25, 2002 AP RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Heat-related football deaths at all levels have steadily increased, replacing direct fatal injuries as the sport's biggest on-field safety concern. Eight football players died nationwide last year due to injuries, while another three died from heatstroke, according to a study released Thursday by the University of North Carolina. Twelve more deaths were due to natural causes aggravated by exercise, such as a heart attack. The number of injury deaths reflected a substantial drop since stricter rules about tackling and blocking were enacted in the mid-1970s, when fatalities regularly reached double digits. Heatstroke deaths have been quietly climbing, from 13 in the 1980s to 15 in the 1990s to seven in the past two years alone. "We are concerned about all these deaths, of course, but especially those that resulted from heatstroke, which are almost always preventable," said Frederick Mueller, a professor and chair of physical education, exercise and sport science at North Carolina. All three heat-related deaths occurred within one week at the end of July and start of August last year.

Job openings The E-Newsbrief of Top News Stories May 30, 2001 Whistle-blowers in Co. Complained About Hazardous Waste Two former employees of the University of Colorado won more than $600,000 from the university Friday when a federal jury decided they had suffered improper retaliation after complaining about the handling of hazardous waste on campus. Richard Siani, 53, and Michael Law, who is in his early 30s, won their claim under a Colorado law intended to protect whistle-blowers. "The university strongly disagrees with the jury's finding . . . and is currently considering an appeal," CU spokeswoman Bobbi Barrow said. She said CU's handling of hazardous waste has been nationally recognized for excellence. "Like all universities doing more than $200 million in research annually, we have an environmental safety program here designed to ensure that laboratory materials are handled not only within regulatory compliance, but with the safety of all employees as a paramount concern," she said.

The Wilderness Emergency Medical Services Institute COLD RELATED DISORDERS by Jim Hill WEMT (Wilderness EMT) Our thanks to Jim Hill for this article. We hope it is the first of many more to come. - Bernie As pre-hospital care providers operating within the urban EMS system, recognition of cold related injuries is often overlooked. Modern conveniences combined with shorter transfer times tend to shift our focus away from the precipitating factors that contribute to a patient entering a hypothermic condition. As an aid to understanding cold related disorders, it is important to review the mechanics of temperature balance. Homeostasis is the system within our body that uses feed back to create a thermal balance. Relying primarily on the hypothalamus , located deep within the anterior portion of the brain as well as other external sensors, heat production and loss is maintained. Just as turning up the thermostat in your home results in your furnace coming on, altering the "set point" of your hypothalamus results in shivering. When your core temperature stabilizes, the chills subside. A by-product of your basal metabolic rate is heat production. In order to keep your body from melting down, there must be subsequent heat loss. This heat loss occurs in the following ways. Heat is lost by conduction when we sit on a cold surface.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Premier Orthopaedic Surgery LLC Head Team Physician, Atlanta Beat Soccer Team October, 2002 A truly successful sports season is one in which wins are many and injuries are few. The odds are in favor of the athlete who follows sound principles throughout the year – call them the Terrific Ten: Take the time to become acclimated to environmental stress Always include a warm up Start hydrated and end hydrated Use equipment that fits properly Integrate exercises that work the core muscles, aerobic endurance and proper biomechanics along with other techniques into training Emphasize periodization in training programs Avoid over-training Eat a well-balanced diet with healthy snacks Get at least eight hours of sleep e ach night Get fit to play sports, don’t play sports to get fit In addition to following the Terrific Ten, think of what you can do before, during and after activity to keep injuries to a minimum. PRE-PLAY TIPS Start protecting your players before they hit the field or court. Although some injuries are unavoidable, many can be prevented or, at least, decreased in severity. The most common of these are muscle strains, such as lower back strains, and "tennis elbow." To prevent these common conditions, implement a program that works the core muscles preceded by a light warm-up (i.e. jogging or jumping jacks) and stretching. If your players balk at the idea, remind them that warmed-up muscles function better and are less likely to sustain injury.

Home Pregnancy Vaccinations Primary Care ... Medicine Preventing Childhood Sports Injuries It's one of a parent's worst nightmares. The phone rings at work. "Ms. Ramirez? Your son Raoul was injured during football practice. His knee may be badly hurt." Childhood sports injuries like Raoul's may be inevitable, but there are some things a parent can do to help prevent them: Enroll your child in organized sports through schools, community clubs, and recreation areas where there may be adults who are certified athletic trainers (ATC). An ATC is also trained in the prevention, recognition and immediate care of athletic injuries. Make sure your child uses the proper protective gear for a particular sport. This may lessen the chances of being injured. Warm-up exercises, such as stretching and light jogging, can help minimize the chance of muscle strain or other soft tissue injury during sports. Warm-up exercises make the body's tissues warmer and more flexible. Cooling-down exercises loosen the body's muscles that have tightened during exercise. Make warm-ups and cool-downs part of your child's routine before and after sports participation. Treat injuries with "R.I.C.E."

WANT TO PLAY BETTER GOLF? YOU BETTER GET IN SHAPE! Why is it that with all the advances in golf equipment over the past 20 years, the national USGA handicap for all golfers has not decreased? It's simple: The makers of all the top equipment still can't improve the most important tool in your golf game-YOUR BODY. The secret to the success of great golfers like David Duvall, Tiger Woods, and Greg Norman lies in their commitment to their physical fitness. These men are not alone; many professional and amateur golfers are now getting fit and playing better golf because of it. Golf is a unique sport in that you can play it for many decades of your life. Why not play it as well as you can for as long as you can? The golf swing is a multi-directional, multi-planar event involving numerous joints supported by multiple muscles, liagaments, and tendons. The force of a swing is comparable to heavy weightlifting activities such as rowing, and in certain studies, has been shown to exert enough force to herniate a disk. So, the importance of staying in shape is fundamental. LET UNION MEMORIAL SPORTS MEDICINE HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR GAME

Heat Related Illnesses During warm-weather months, many people enjoy outdoors activities so they can get some sun and warmth after a long, cold winter. But if you're not careful, the heat can also be your enemy - it causes several common conditions that land unsuspecting people in the emergency room. Heat cramps are one of the most common heat-related ailments. They occur when muscles spasm because they don't have enough sodium or potassium. The cramps usually occur in the large muscles, such as the calves and legs and may occur while you're exercising or as much as three hours later. Replacing the lost electrolytes - in the form or water or a sports drink - usually brings relief. Heat exhaustion is slightly more serious. This condition occurs when your body cannot sweat enough to help you cool down. It happens when you're working or exercising in hot weather. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness or nausea and skin that is cool, moist, pale or flushed.

80. Heat Cramps, Heat Exhaustion, And Heat Stroke Preventing heatrelated Illnesses. It is possible to prevent heat-relatedillnesses. The important thing is to stay well-hydrated http://www.drreddy.com/heat.html

Dr. Reddy's Pediatric Office on the Web TM Heat Cramps, Heat Exhaustion, and Heat Stroke Heat Cramps Heat Exhaustion Heat Stroke Preventing Heat-Related Illnesses Warm weather is wonderful. However, sometimes you can overdo the warmth especially if you are active or exercising. Here are three problems children can have in hot weather. These conditions are largely brought on by heat and dehydration and with proper care it is possible to prevent them. Heat Cramps Heat cramps are muscle contractions, usually in the gastrocnemius or hamstring muscles (the muscles at the back of the calves). These contractions are forceful and painful. These cramps seem to be connected to heat, dehydration, and poor conditioning, rather than to lack of salt or other mineral imbalances. They usually improve with rest, drinking water, and a cool environment. Heat Exhaustion Although partly due to exhaustion and feeling like exhaustion, as the name implies heat exhaustion is also a result of excessive heat and dehydration. The signs of heat exhaustion include paleness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fainting, and a moderately increased temperature (101-102 degrees F) which, in this case, is not truly a fever , but caused by the heat. Rest and water may help in mild heat exhaustion, and ice packs and a cool environment (with a fan blowing at the child) may also help. More severely exhausted patients may need IV fluids, especially if vomiting keeps them from drinking enough.
