Prospective public registration of medical research is an important step to decrease the risk of duplication and reduce research waste, and increase transparency. It is a requirement for funding and publication of most clinical trials. Systematic reviews (SRs) are also important medical research—compiling original research to answer a specific research question using systematic searches, pre-established selecti...
Abstract Background Neuromuscular isokinetic screening as a pre-season test may identify players at risk of injury or undertrained players. Objective Identify, assess and describe unilateral and bilateral knee muscular deficits in elite football players at pre-season screening. Design Retrospective cohort. Setting Elite football divisions. Patients (or Participants) Of 99 eligible male elite footballers, older ...
Background Tibiofemoral bone morphology has been proposed as a potential risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, with recent increasing interest in the lateral femoral condyle. Objective Investigate several tibiofemoral bone morphology measurements as risk factors for rupturing the ACL. Design Retrospective case–control study. Setting Clinical setting. Patients (or Participants) 200 ACL-ruptur...
Orientador: José Antonio Peres Gediel; Monografia (graduação) - Universidade Federal do Paraná,Setor de Ciências Jurídicas, Curso de Graduação em Direito; O presente trabalho visa situar o patrimônio genético do homem no sistema jurídico. Busca-se demonstrar como a concepção privatista-individualista- primonialista não serve de sustentáculo para a tutela do genoma humano. Num primeiro momento analisa a noção de...
Background Sports pre-participation cardiovascular screening remains a challenging topic, without consensus amongst the scientific community. Sports pre-participation cardiovascular screening with electrocardiogram (ECG) is not systematically included in the United States of America. However, in some European countries both ECG and echocardiogram are requested. These asymmetric proceedings are related with the ...
Disability from musculoskeletal diseases and comorbidities may lead to the worsening of social and economic well-being through a multitude of paths. Moreover since in European Union (EU) Member States it is projected that those aged 65 and over will become a much larger share (rising from 17% to 30% of the population), and those aged 80 and over (rising from 5% to 12%) will almost become as numerous as the youn...
Importance Several bone morphological parameters have been identified in the scientific literature as risk factors for sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury; however, a clear consensus on which are the most predisposing factors is still missing. Aim This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the association between bone morphological parameters and the risk of sustaining an ACL...
Knee laxity, by definition, is a dynamic and multifactorial condition. MRI evaluation, due to its known capacity in achieving high soft tissue contrast (e.g., meniscus, synovia, ligaments, cartilage) and multiplanar joint assessment without ionizing radiation, has contributed to its popularity in the last decades. However, “traditional�? MRI studies provide static evaluation, thus requiring careful correlation ...

Identification of pre-participation risk factors for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries has been attracting a great deal of interest in the sports medicine and traumatology communities. Appropriate methods that enable predicting which patients could benefit from pre- ventive strategies are most welcome. This would enable athlete-specific training and conditioning or tailored equipment in order...
