Article: The international athlete--advances in management of jet lag disorder and anti-doping policy.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To perform at the highest level of international competition, athletes need to maximize rest during long travel, and expeditiously overcome the detrimental effects of "jet lag" (JL). The negative effects of JL may be alleviated by adopting a multimodality approach, including the judicious use of melatonin and other pharmacologic agents to aid re-entrainment and improve sleep characteristics. Strict compliance with anti-doping policy is pivotal before and during competition. There have been several recent updates regarding the use of selected medications, which mandate constant vigilance by sports medicine personnel to both evaluate drug efficacy and judiciously prescribe approved medications. It is critical that medical staff maintain familiarity and awareness on a continual basis to effectively educate athletes and support staff.Clinics in sports medicine 07/2011; 30(3):641-59. · 1.33 Impact Factor -
Article: Cardiovascular screening and the elite athlete: advances, concepts, controversies, and a view of the future.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This article addresses programmatic cardiovascular screening and evaluation of the elite athlete at the intercollegiate, national team, professional, and Olympic levels. Although much of this content may apply to high-school and recreational sports at large, it is not specifically designed to address athletes participating in all sports activities.Clinics in sports medicine 07/2011; 30(3):503-24. · 1.33 Impact Factor -
Chapter: Chest Pain in the Athlete: Differential Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chest pain remains one of the most concerning complaints among athletes and active individuals. Fortunately, the vast majority of chest pain in this group is benign, noncardiac, and rarely associated with catastrophic manifestations such as sudden death [1]. [2] A thorough assessment requires a full understanding of the differential of chest pain, a detailed history designed to elicit the nuances of each general category of chest pain, a directed physical examination, and prudent choices of ancillary testing as clinically warranted.12/2010: pages 115-139; -
Article: The daily management of athletes with diabetes.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The unique demands of exercise and competition can predispose diabetic athletes to harmful complications. A basic understanding of glucose metabolism during exercise, nutritional adequacy, blood glucose control, medications, and management of on-field complications is important for medical personnel who care for diabetic athletes on a daily basis. Diabetic athletes are best managed by "individualized" preventive and treatment algorithms that should be developed by a team of medical professionals including the athletic trainer, sports nutritionist, and physician.Clinics in sports medicine 08/2009; 28(3):479-95. · 1.33 Impact Factor -
Article: Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is a problematic infection which is becoming more common in a variety of athletic related environments. Early recognition, diagnosis, and timely management of infection can help minimize the severity of infection and decrease the rate of transmission. Since most sports physical therapists typically lack adequate knowledge and ability to identify cases of MRSA infection, the pur-pose of this review is to provide a background for associated risk factors, recognition, treatment, and prevention of community associated-MRSA in athletic environments.North American journal of sports physical therapy (NAJSPT) 08/2007; 2(3):138-46. -
Article: Allergic disorders in the athlete.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Allergic diseases are common in athletes. As such, sports medicine practitioners will be involved in the management of allergic diseases on a nearly daily basis. Appreciating the wide array of allergic manifestations in this active population is essential to their accurate and efficient treatment. Although the bulk of allergic disease in athletes is mild, some allergic manifestations are far more serious and even potentially life-threatening. Aggressive and thoughtful allergy management should ensure that all athletes can continue to compete safely and at the highest level possible.Clinics in sports medicine 08/2005; 24(3):507-23, vii-viii. · 1.33 Impact Factor -
Article: Training room management of medical conditions: sports gastroenterology.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses are common in athletes. Various causes include adverse physiologic adaptations of the gut during exercise; excess ingestion of carbohydrate drinks, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medications; emotional stressors; exposure to pathogens in closed environments and during travel; trauma; and abdominal wall pressure overload. Unfortunately, evidence-based management of GI illnesses in athletes is limited because most studies have compared various GI illnesses between different sports, rather than comparing athletes to nonathletes. This article reviews the evidence that is available specifically relating to etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, relevant differential diagnoses, acute management, and recommendations for specialist consultation of various GI illnesses in the training-room setting.Clinics in sports medicine 08/2005; 24(3):525-40, viii. · 1.33 Impact Factor -
Article: Exercise considerations in hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sports medicine practitioners who care for a wide array of athletes and active individuals will consistently face issues regarding chronic cardiovascular diseases and their associated risk factors. Among these, hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia are common clinical conditions that may be encountered even amongst elite caliber athletes. Consequently, those entrusted with the care of this active population must recognize the presence of these disorders and feel comfortable with their management in the face of continued sports or exercise participation. This article reviews the pathophysiology of these conditions as they relate to athletes and outlines the value of continued exercise in the management of each of these entities while addressing the specific and unique treatment needs of active individuals.Clinics in Sports Medicine 02/2003; 22(1):101-21, vii. · 1.55 Impact Factor -

Article: Infectious mononucleosis: ensuring a safe return to sport.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Among the unique clinical properties of infectious mononucleosis are prolonged and often debilitating fatigue, a high incidence of spleen enlargement and fragility, and a resultant risk for spleen rupture. Sports medicine practitioners are charged both with the recognition and management of such clinical features as well as the safe and timely return of the athlete to participation. Safeguarding against splenic injury and attempting to minimize the duration of symptomatic illness are the major factors that guide decisions about disqualification from sport and the eventual resumption of training and competition.The Physician and sportsmedicine 01/2002; 30(1):27-41. · 1.02 Impact Factor
