Burn Injuries

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response

Exercise significantly impacts cardiovascular response, which is crucial for understanding patient health and designing effective treatment plans.
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Flail Chest-I

Flail Chest-I

Overview of Flail Chest
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...

Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
Epidemiology
Occupational Health

Background:

Dragon boating is a rapidly growing team sport with repetitive motions.
The sport's increasing popularity is not matched by research into its injury patterns.
Repetitive motions in dragon boating can lead to overuse injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the epidemiology of injuries in competitive dragon boating athletes.
To identify common injury sites and types in dragon boaters.
To understand the relationship between training and injury in this sport.

Main Methods:

A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted.
95 competitive dragon boaters (49 males, 46 females) participated.
Data were collected retrospectively via self-report questionnaire from August 2012 to July 2013.

Main Results:

104 musculoskeletal injuries were reported (3.82 per 1000 athlete-exposures), with 99% occurring during training.
Most common injuries affected the lower back (22.1%), shoulder (21.1%), and wrist (17.3%).
Overuse injuries (56.3%) and incomplete muscle-tendon strains (50.5%) were prevalent, alongside non-musculoskeletal injuries like abrasions (90.5%) and blisters (78.9%).

Conclusions:

Competitive dragon boating exhibits a moderately high injury incidence, linked to exposure time.
Overuse injuries are common, with paddling-intensive body parts at higher risk.
High rates of non-musculoskeletal injuries suggest they are inherent to dragon boating participation.
