Leaky Scanning

During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Do Athletes Need Influenza Vaccines?

The Physician and Sportsmedicine

|July 23, 2016

Summary

Influenza in athletes can lead to missed practice and games, impacting team performance. Physicians present information, allowing athletes to decide on managing their illness and return to play.

Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
Infectious Disease

Background:

Influenza (flu) significantly impacts athletes, causing missed training and competition.
The decision for athletes to play while ill involves balancing health risks and competitive needs.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the considerations for athletes managing influenza.
To understand the role of team physicians in guiding athlete decisions regarding influenza.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on influenza in athletes.
Analysis of clinical guidelines for return-to-play protocols.

Main Results:

Influenza can lead to prolonged recovery and reduced athletic capacity.
Physicians often provide factual information rather than directives.
