Concussion, a type of mild traumatic brain injury that is caused by a direct or indirect hit to the head, body, or face is a common injury associated with sports and can affect people of all ages. A concussion is defined as a "complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by biomechanical forces". [1]
Athlete's foot is the most common fungal disease, with possibly more than 50% of the population affected at some time. [2] [4] Tinea manuum accounts for less than 2% of all superficial fungal infections. [2] Tinea manuum is rare in both hands. [2] Scenarios with one foot and two hands, and one foot and one hand, have been described. [15]
What can you do to protect, identify and treat a concussion? Scientist Julie Stamm, author of the book “The Brain on Youth Sports,” offers five tips to raise awareness.
Tinea manuum is a fungal infection of the hand, mostly a type of dermatophytosis, often part of two feet-one hand syndrome. [2] [4] There is diffuse scaling on the palms or back of usually one hand and the palmer creases appear more prominent. [2]
The concussion was so severe the athlete had to receive outside vestibular rehabilitation, which is designed to address things like persistent balance impairment and dizziness. Future ...
Not only do health issues affect athletes, but the financial burden that impacts their families is also significant. This can cause a strain in the family relationship. Vacations, savings, and normal family structure are sacrificed in order to support the athlete. Siblings can have positive and negative effects on the youth athlete.
Student-athletes may be put at risk in school sports, creating concern about concussions and brain injury. [1] A concussion [2] can be caused by a direct blow to the head, or an indirect blow to the body that causes reactions in the brain. The result of a concussion is neurological impairment that may resolve spontaneously but may also have ...
It is caused by one of three parasitic fungi and is named after the body site involved. Consequently, the name does not indicate the fungal type, for example, Tinea corporis (body) and Tinea manum (hand). Ringworm spreads readily by direct skin-to-skin contact, and by using a contaminated hairbrush or other source.
