Article Abstract

A young competitive athlete undergoes the diagnostic investigations protocol before returning to competitive practice (return to play protocol) after COVID-19 infection. Despite the paucisymptomatic presentation of COVID-19 infection and the absence of relevant anomalies in standard first-level diagnostic investigations, echocardiographic examination findings especially speckle tracking analysis (global longitudinal strain) along with some clinical aspects suggested further second-level investigations eventually allowing the identification of inflammatory myocardial damage.

Protein-nucleic acid binding sites play a crucial role in biological processes such as gene expression, signal transduction, replication, and transcription. In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence, protein language models, graph neural networks, and transformer architectures have been adopted to develop both structure-based and sequence-based predictive models. Structure-based methods benefit from the spatial relationship between residues and have shown promising performance.

Purpose: The global rise in popularity of basketball has prompted an increased emphasis on understanding the injury patterns affecting players. This study analysed injury epidemiology and return to sport outcomes in Division I male and female collegiate basketball players. The authors hypothesise that ankle injuries are amongst the most common in this population and that there are similarly comparable injury rates between genders.

Hamstring injuries are common among athletes; however, complete tears of the semitendinosus are rare. Given the infrequency of these injuries, there is no consistent treatment algorithm. For athletes pursuing conservative, non-surgical management, physical therapy and rest may facilitate shorter recovery times.

Purpose: Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and Hamstring (HT) autografts are commonly used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Concerns exist regarding postoperative anterior knee pain (AKP) and kneeling discomfort with BPTB grafts. However, many studies solely report the presence/absence of anterior knee pain, without assessing its clinical significance in terms of functional limitation or impact on quality of life.
