NHSSM The Club – 322

Eli Hallak and Catherine Marr are academic advisers or sponsors for the National Honor Society for Sports Medicine.  Cat Marr has started the club recently to allow more of the school to participate and to continue to reward the hard working students that might not be able to make it in an honors society.

There is also a student version of the old BOC test- www.aacitest.com
Your students could take the test and qualify compete at nationals.

Our conversation about NHSSM Just kept rolling so I split the other two topics into a separate episode.

Rhabdomyolysis from a Patient Perspective – 319

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: Spotify | RSS

Carmen Solis caught the perfect storm of plane flight, elevation, dehydration, new protein shake, different environment and a slightly new routine to catch a case of Rhabdo.

Dr. Rehal Bhojani explains the facts as he sees them and gives great insight to us in identifying future cases of Rhabdo.

Urine color charts in every stall (male and female) are a top recommendation.  Muddy / orange urine is almost always an indicator of Rhabdo.

Help prevent Rhabdo by easing your athletes back into workouts.  Gone is the idea of “we are going to kill them and make men out of them.”

Paradoxical Vocal Cord Disorder – 317

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: Spotify | RSS

Myra Reed first experienced PVCD with an athlete, and has since had more than one athlete, especially distance runners.

Vocal Cord Disorder can easily be mistaken for Exercise Induced Asthma but is not the same.  Mayra recommends asking “is your inhaler working for you” to help figure out if it is truly asthma or maybe something else.  However some athletes have been diagnosed with both.

Pursed lip breathing: Form your lips as if whistling, breath in through the nose and out through the mouth focusing on slowing the breathing as you do 10 repetitions.
