RESUMO
Background and objectives: Despite the importance of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in Sport and Exercise Medicine, the literature on the topic is fragmented and has been poorly developed. The goal of this review was to map current knowledge about how the OSCE is used in Sport and Exercise Medicine, and to identify knowledge gaps for future research. Method: The authors conducted a scoping review. They searched PubMed and Scopus for articles using key terms related to 'OSCE' and 'sport medicine' with no limit on search start date and up to July 2022. Retrieved records were imported, abstracts were screened, and full-text articles were reviewed. A forward and backward citation tracking was conducted. Data was extracted and a qualitative meta-summary of the studies was conducted. Results: A total of 469 records were screened, and 22 studies were included. The objectives of the studies included using OSCEs to assess knowledge/skills after a training program (n = 11), to assess an intervention (n = 8), and to assess and improve the OSCE itself (n = 3). Thirteen studies reported validity and/or reliability of the OSCE. Conclusion: Despite the widespread use of OSCEs in the examination of Sport and Exercise Medicine trainees, only a handful of scholarly works have been published. More research is needed to support the use of OSCE in Sport and Exercise Medicine for its initial purpose. We highlight avenues for future research such as assessing the need for a deeper exploration of the relationship between candidate characteristics and OSCE scores.
Contexte et objectifs: Malgré l'importance de l'examen clinique objectif structuré (ECOS) en médecine du sport et de l'exercice, la littérature sur le sujet est fragmentée et peu développée. L'objectif de cette étude était de cartographier les connaissances actuelles sur l'utilisation de l'ECOS en médecine du sport et de l'exercice, et d'identifier les lacunes en matière de connaissances en vue de recherches futures. Méthode: Les auteurs ont procédé à un examen approfondi. Ils ont recherché dans PubMed et Scopus des articles utilisant des termes clés liés à "OSCE" et "médecine du sport" sans limite de date de début de recherche et jusqu'en juillet 2022. Les enregistrements trouvés ont été importés, les résumés ont été examinés et les articles en texte intégral ont été examinés. Un suivi des citations en avant et en arrière a été effectué. Les données ont été extraites et un méta-résumé qualitatif des études a été réalisé. Résultats: Au total, 469 dossiers ont été examinés et 22 études ont été incluses. Les objectifs des études comprenaient l'utilisation des ECOS pour évaluer les connaissances/compétences après un programme de formation (n = 11), pour évaluer une intervention (n = 8), et pour évaluer et améliorer l'ECOS lui-même (n = 3). Treize études ont fait état de la validité et/ou de la fiabilité des ECOS. Conclusion: Malgré l'utilisation répandue des ECOS dans l'examen des stagiaires en médecine du sport et de l'exercice, seuls quelques travaux scientifiques ont été publiés. Des recherches supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour soutenir l'utilisation de l'OSCE en médecine du sport et de l'exercice pour son objectif initial. Nous mettons en évidence des pistes de recherche futures telles que l'évaluation de la nécessité d'une exploration plus approfondie de la relation entre les caractéristiques des candidats et les résultats des ECOS.

PURPOSE: Rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons frequently collaborate on difficult decisions regarding perioperative management of immunosuppression in rheumatic disease patients, balancing risk of postoperative infection with risk of disease flares. Current evidence-based guidelines pertain specifically to arthroplasty, thus we sought to understand the trends and common practices regarding peri-arthroscopic use of immunosuppression. METHODS: Rheumatologists and sports medicine surgeons, from a variety of New York hospitals and serving a broad range of demographics, were surveyed on immunosuppressive medication management in rheumatic disease patients undergoing arthroscopic surgeries. Physicians' preferences were elicited regarding the use of common anti-rheumatic medications with the lower risk meniscectomies and the higher risk anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions and allografts. Physicians were asked specifically about peri-arthroscopic use of conventional synthetic diseasemodifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), biologics, and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. RESULTS: During the survey period, 25 rheumatologists and 19 sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons completed the questionnaire. For lower-risk arthroscopies, rheumatologists favored continuing various csDMARDs (72% to 100%), biologics (50% to 64%) and JAK inhibitors (57%), while a majority of surgeons concurred for all three drug classes (csDMARDs 63%; biologics 53%; and JAK inhibitors 58%). For higher-risk arthroscopies, most rheumatologists preferred that patients continue csDMARDs (63% to 100%) but fewer supported the use of biologics (28% to 39%) or JAK inhibitors (22%). Surgeons were more hesitant to endorse any class of immunosuppressive antirheumatic medications (22% to 27%) around these higher risk surgeries. The rheumatologists were most concerned about surgeries taking place too soon after the last dose of rituximab, recommending these higher risk surgeries not take place for 7.7 ± 8.8 weeks following the last infusion. CONCLUSION: For lower-risk arthroscopies, most rheumatologists but only about half of orthopedic surgeons preferred patients continuing csDMARDs. Approximately half of both groups preferred patients hold biologics and JAK inhibitors. In more involved arthroscopies, most rheumatologists but few orthopedists supported the continued use of csDMARDs, and the consensus was to hold all other immunosuppression when possible. While the duration medications were held perioperatively were somewhat reflective of the current guidelines for arthroplasty, there is a need for evidencebased guidelines specifically regarding peri-arthroscopy immunosuppression in rheumatic disease patients.

Sideline medical care is typically provided by musculoskeletal specialists and orthopaedic surgeons with varying levels of training and experience. While the most common sports injuries are often benign, the potential for catastrophic injury is omnipresent. Prompt recognition of sideline emergencies and expeditious medical management are necessary to minimize the risk of calamitous events. Paramount to successful sideline coverage are both preseason and game-day preparations. Because the skillset needed for the sideline physician may involve management of injuries not commonly seen in everyday clinical practice, sideline providers should review basic life support protocols, spine boarding, and equipment removal related to their sport(s) before the season begins. Before every game, the medical bag should be adequately stocked, location of the automatic external defibrillator/emergency medical services identified, and introductions to the trainers, coaches, and referees made. In addition to musculoskeletal injuries, the sideline orthopaedic surgeon must also be acquainted with the full spectrum of nonmusculoskeletal emergencies spanning the cardiopulmonary, central nervous, and integumentary systems. Familiarity with anaphylaxis as well as abdominal and neck trauma is also critical. Prompt identification of potential life-threatening conditions, carefully orchestrated treatment, and the athlete's subsequent disposition are essential for the team physician to provide quality care.

BACKGROUND: The impact of exercise dosages based on American College of Sports Medicine(ACSM) recommendations on lipid metabolism in patients after PCI remains unclear. This study conducted a meta-analysis of reported exercise dosages from the literature to address this knowledge gap. METHODS: A comprehensive search of databases was conducted to identify eligible randomized controlled studies of exercise interventions in patients after PCI, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Based on the recommended exercise dosages from ACSM for patients with coronary heart disease, exercise doses in the literature that met the inclusion criteria were categorized into groups that were highly compliant with ACSM recommendations and those with low or uncertain ACSM recommendations. The topic was the effect of exercise dose on lipid metabolism in post-PCI patients. This was assessed using standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for changes in triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL. RESULTS: This systematic review included 10 randomized controlled studies. The subgroup analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the high compliance with ACSM recommendations group for triglycerides [SMD=-0.33 (95% CI -0.62, -0.05)], total cholesterol [SMD=-0.55 (95% CI -0.97, -0.13)], low-density lipoprotein [SMD=-0.31 (95% CI -0.49, -0.13)], high-density lipoprotein [SMD = 0.23 (95% CI 0.01, 0.46)], and body mass index [SMD=-0.52 (95% CI -0.87, -0.17)]. Compared to the low or uncertain compliance with ACSM recommendations group, the high compliance group exhibited significant differences in improving TC levels (-0.55(H) vs. -0.46(L)), HDL levels (0.23(H) vs. 0.22(L)), and BMI (-0.52(H) vs. -0.34(L)). CONCLUSIONS: This study supports that high compliance with ACSM-recommended exercise dosages has significant impacts on improving TC levels, HDL levels, and BMI. However, no advantage was observed for TG or LDL levels.

The field of regenerative medicine for sports injuries has grown significantly in the 21st century. This study attempted to provide an overview of the current state of research and key findings regarding the relationship between sport and regenerative medicine in general, identifying trends and hotspots in research topics. We gathered the literature from the Web of Science (WOS) database covering the last 10 years (2013-2023) pertaining to regenerative medicine for sporter and applied Citespace to assess the knowledge mapping. The findings demonstrated that there were 572, with a faster increase after 2018. The country, institution, and author with the most publications are the USA, Harvard University, and Maffulli Nicola. In addition, the most co-cited reference is J Acad Nutr Diet (2016) (199). Adipose tissue, high tibial osteotomy, and bone marrow are the hot spots in this field in the next few years.

Sports endocrinology holds a unique importance in understanding and optimizing an active and healthy lifestyle. Active patients with diabetes will need to consider modifying medications, especially insulin. The use of the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and Fracture Risk Assessment Tool scores is important as both initiate and monitor bone health treatment. Menstrual disorders and energy imbalances are some special concerns when treating female athletes, calling for a multidisciplinary treatment team. Performance agents are popular and have made their way into recreational sports.

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is routinely required during pre-participation screening in the presence of symptoms, family history of sudden cardiac death or cardiomyopathies <40-year-old, murmurs, abnormal ECG findings or in the follow-up of athletes with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). TTE is a cost-effective first-line imaging modality to evaluate the cardiac remodeling due to long-term, intense training, previously known as the athlete's heart, and to rule out the presence of conditions at risk of sudden cardiac death, including cardiomyopathies, coronary artery anomalies, congenital, aortic and heart valve diseases. Moreover, TTE is useful for distinguishing physiological cardiac adaptations during intense exercise from pathological behavior due to an underlying CVD. In this expert opinion statement endorsed by the Italian Society of Sports Cardiology, we discussed common clinical scenarios where a TTE is required and conditions falling in the grey zone between the athlete's heart and underlying cardiomyopathies or other CVD. In addition, we propose a minimum dataset that should be included in the report for the most common indications of TTE in sports cardiology clinical practice.
