What Can We Learn From Reggie Lewis' Death?
The Physician and Sportsmedicine
|July 19, 2016
Summary
Sudden athlete deaths can cause fear, but sports physicians should counsel patients that exercise risks are lower than inactivity risks. Maintaining physical activity is crucial for patient health, despite rare tragic events.
Area of Science:
- Sports Medicine
- Cardiology
- Public Health
Background:
- High-profile athlete deaths, such as Reggie Lewis, can incite public fear and speculation.
- Sports physicians face challenges in counseling patients post-event without complete data.
Purpose of the Study:
- To advise sports physicians on appropriate responses to athlete deaths.
- To emphasize the importance of continued exercise for patient health.
Main Methods:
- Review of the Reggie Lewis case and its public perception.
- Analysis of risks associated with exercise versus inactivity.
Main Results:
- Fear and finger-pointing often overshadow rational assessment following athlete fatalities.
- The risks of sedentary behavior significantly outweigh the risks associated with regular physical activity.
Conclusions:
- Sports physicians must exercise restraint and provide evidence-based guidance.
- Patients should be reassured that the benefits of exercise far exceed potential risks.

02:36Lewis Symbols and the Octet Rule
85.0K
Chemical bonds are complex interactions between two or more atoms or ions, which reduce the potential energy of the molecule. Gilbert N. Lewis developed a model called the Lewis model that simplified the depiction of chemical bond formation and provided straightforward explanations for the chemical bonds seen in most common compounds.

Lewis symbols can be used to indicate the formation of covalent bonds, which are shown in Lewis structures—drawings that describe the bonding in molecules and polyatomic ions. The periodic table can be used to predict the number of valence electrons in an atom and the number of bonds that will be formed to reach an octet. Group 18 elements, such as argon and helium, have filled electron configurations and thus rarely participate in chemical bonding. However, atoms from group 17, such as...

In 1923, G. N. Lewis proposed a generalized definition of acid-base behavior in which acids and bases are identified by their ability to accept or to donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

This lesson delves into Lewis acids and bases in the context of the octet rule for electron-deficient compounds. Here, the concept is discussed, emphasizing the group 13 elements like boron or aluminium. Since group 13 elements possess three valence electrons, they form trivalent compounds with a sextet of electrons and a vacant orbital for the central atom. Consequently, these electron-deficient compounds accept electrons from other species to complete their octet in a chemical reaction. They...

Agouti: A Lethal Allele
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
