Ideal Body Weight And Body Fat Percentage Predict Relative Energy Deficiency In Sport (Red-S) Scores In Collegiate Athletes, Emily Norman

Theses and Dissertations--Nutrition and Food Systems

Background: Low energy availability (LEA) is the underlying cause of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) which negatively affects athletes' physiological function, health, and performance. RED-S results from inadequate dietary intake to support energy expenditure for daily living, growth, and optimal performance. It occurs in both male and female athletes, with or without disordered eating. However, screening and diagnosis in athletes can be difficult. Objective: This study aims to identify strong predictors of RED-S and assess its prevalence in collegiate male and female athletes. Methods: A total of 270 NCAA athlete test points from mixed sports were evaluated for RED-S …

Richards, Timothy A. Butterfield, Jonathan J. Petrocelli, Ivan J. Vechetti Jr., Amy L. Confides, Micah J. Drummond, Esther E. Dupont-Versteegden

Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications

Background Skeletal muscle (SkM) is a large, secretory organ that produces and releases myokines that can have autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine effects. Whether extracellular vesicles (EVs) also play a role in the SkM adaptive response and ability to communicate with other tissues is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate EV biogenesis factors, marker expression, and localization across cell types in the skeletal muscle. We also aimed to investigate whether EV concentrations are altered by disuse atrophy.

Methods To identify the potential markers of SkM‑derived EVs, EVs were isolated from rat serum using density gradient ultracentrifugation, …

The Utility Of The Axillary Shoulder Radiograph In The Management Of Clavicle Fractures, Stephen Bowen, Ryan Tantoe, Daniel Botros, Samer Al-Humadi, Nicholas Tsouris, Nicholas Divaris

Stony Brook Orthopaedic and Musculoskeletal Journal

Background: Prior literature is mixed on the necessity of an axillary shoulder radiograph in the setting of presumably isolated clavicle fractures, with some authors endorsing its need for any shoulder girdle trauma and others stating it is unnecessary. However, no studies to date have specifically evaluated this.

Hypothesis: We hypothesize that an axillary shoulder radiograph will offer no management changing information in the setting of clavicle fractures.

Methods: Ninety-five patients presented for follow-up for management of a clavicle fracture. Analysis was performed to determine if the axillary view was useful based on the discovery of a glenohumeral dislocation or a …

Suture Tape Stabilization Of The Distal Ulna Following Darrach Procedure. A Biomechanical Study, Miles S. Parsons, Evan C. Olsen, David E. Komatsu, Samantha Muhlrad

Stony Brook Orthopaedic and Musculoskeletal Journal

Introduction: The Darrach procedure (complete resection of distal ulna) is commonly used for definitive treatment of end- stage distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) arthritis. This resection alone often results in treatment failure due to ulnar stump instability in a dorsal-palmar direction and ulnar convergence. Modified Darrach procedures with tenodesis have improved outcomes, but none have completely resolved these issues. Thus, we propose a novel technique of fixation via an internal brace.

Purpose: To evaluate stability and degree of dorsal-palmar displacement with an internal brace fixation (IBF) versus a modified extensor carpi ulnaris tenodesis (ECUT) following a Darrach procedure.

Methods: We tested …

The Sport Concussion Assessment Tool: A Multidimensional Symptom Model For Detecting Elevated Post-Concussion Symptoms, Eric Ingram

Theses and Dissertations--Psychology

Following sport-related concussions, a multidimensional symptom interpretation may identify athletes with domain-specific problems when beginning to return-to-play (RTP). This study investigated whether a four-factor model of post-concussion symptoms (i.e., cognitive, physical, affective, and sleep-arousal) would identify student-athletes with persistent concerns not reflected by their total symptom score. Collegiate student-athletes (N=24,696) from the Concussion Assessment Research and Education consortium completed the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool – 3rd edition Symptom Evaluation at baseline and two post-injury follow-ups (i.e., beginning RTP and 6-month). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare one- and four-factor models of post-concussions symptoms. Normative reference data were …
