“…Rugby, ice hockey, and lacrosse also account for higher rates of concussions but are often club sports, which limits their data inclusion in the larger high school sports epidemiologic studies. [34][35][36][37] …”

Sport-related concussion is a "hot topic" in the media and in medicine. It is a common injury that is likely underreported by pediatric and adolescent athletes. Football has the highest incidence of concussion, but girls have higher concussion rates than boys do in similar sports. A clear understanding of the definition, signs, and symptoms of concussion is necessary to recognize it and rule out more severe intracranial injury. Concussion can cause symptoms that interfere with school, social and family relationships, and participation in sports. Recognition and education are paramount, because although proper equipment, sport technique, and adherence to rules of the sport may decrease the incidence or severity of concussions, nothing has been shown to prevent them. Appropriate management is essential for reducing the risk of long-term symptoms and complications. Cognitive and physical rest is the mainstay of management after diagnosis, and neuropsychological testing is a helpful tool in the management of concussion. Return to sport should be accomplished by using a progressive exercise program while evaluating for any return of signs or symptoms. This report serves as a basis for understanding the diagnosis and management of concussion in children and adolescent athletes.

“…Scientific interest in the problem of lacrosse-related injuries has also grown in recent years, although a few prospective epidemiological studies have been conducted (Diamond & Gale, 2001;Dick et al, 2007a;Dick, Romani, Agel, Case, & Marahall, 2007b;Hinton, Lincoln, Almquist, Douoguih, & Sharma, 2005;Lapidus, Nelson, Jeffers, Kay, & Schwarz, 1992;Lincoln, Hinton, Almquist, Lager,: & Dick, 2007;Livingston & Forbes, 1996;Matz & Nibbelink, 2004;Mayer, Kenney, Edlich, & Edlich, 1987;Waicus & Smith, 2002;Webster, Bayliss, & Spadaro, 1999;Yard & Comstock, 2006). Previous research has found that the location, type and mechanisms of injuries in lacrosse players vary by gender, mainly due to the inherent differences in the nature of men's and women's lacrosse.…”

“…Most game injuries in collegiate women resulted from non-contact (Dick et al, 2007a(Dick et al, , 2007b. Women were found to have higher rates of head, face and eye injury than men at both the highschool and collegiate levels (Lincoln et al, 2007). Also, at the collegiate level, concussions most often occurred in women while they were involved in passing or catching the ball and in men while they were pursuing loose balls (Hinton et al, 2005;Lincoln et al, 2007).…”

Previous research has found that the location, type and mechanisms of injuries in lacrosse players vary by gender. The patterns and risk factors of injuries in lacrosse players are still not well known. The study population consists of lacrosse players who utilised the accident medical insurance provided to US Lacrosse members. Cluster analysis was used to explore the aetiology of lacrosse-related injuries. Between 2002 and 2006 there were 593 game injuries, 496 in men and 97 in women. There were six clusters of injuries in women and five clusters of injuries in men. Play scenarios resulting in injury differed by the position played. In all the five injury clusters in males, the primary injury mechanism was by contact, either with another player, a stick or a ball. In women, body-to-body and stick-to-body, and no contact were the most common injury mechanisms. In both genders, the majority of injuries occurred during legal play. These results provide a picture of high-risk situations that lead to injuries in male and female lacrosse players. Future efforts should be made to confirm these results through epidemiologic studies. Further research should also address the effectiveness of interventions that could reduce the risk of injury in these situations.

“…This has also been seen in experimental concussion in an animal model accompanied by axonal injury [48,49]. During the phase of recovery, the concussed brain is at risk for greater damage with a repeat blow [50,51]. Cases of increased dysfunction and disability after a second concussion are also seen in young children and adolescents [48,49].…”

The purpose of this review is to provide detailed information on the evidence for marinobufagenin (MBG) as a predictive and causative factor in preeclampsia(PE), the acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) and traumatic brain injury(TBI).In addition, evidence is provided that resibufogenin (RBG),the antagonist of MBG is effective in the treatment of all three diseases .Results from experiments conducted on animal models and in human subjects indicate that patients with PE, ARDS and TBI have increased urinary and serum MBG levels. In PE patients, MBG is elevated in the early stages of pregnancy. In ARDS, MBG was elevated in serum samples of hyperoxic rats. MBG levels were also elevated in concussed athletes and in rat studies in which TBI was induced. In the animal models, all three disease processes were prevented/treated by the administration of RBG. Human trials of MBG as a predictor of PE, ARDS and TBI are underway as are studies of RBG as a therapy with respect to its usefulness and safety. Early detection of PE will significantly reduce its effects on pregnancy. ARDS, which has a high mortality rate, would benefit from studies on employing RBG. TBI patients can be diagnosed much more quickly than currently possible utilizing MBG as an early indicator. Furthermore, RBG may serve as a therapy.
