Filter by:Primary goal of the research is to determine whether injury/illness occurrence is influenced by the academic, training and competition loads, as well as the overall load (sum of academic/work, training and competition loads) in elite handball athletes To examine whether subjective measures of perceived overall stress correlate with objectively measured levels of stress. Determine the benefits of certain biomarkers to monitor stress, load and injury/illness occurrence in athletes.
Increasing age is a known predictor of morbidity and mortality after a traumatic injury with worst outcomes seen in patients with age greater than 65 years. Geriatric trauma patients are a unique cohort of patients who are highly prone to develop decompensated state following the stress of traumatic event leading to adverse outcomes. In a prospective study the primary site demonstrated the presence of frailty syndrome as a better predictor of in-hospital complications and adverse discharge disposition among geriatric trauma patients than age. Presently, Methodist Dallas Medical Center aims to participate in the large scale prospective multi-institutional validation of TSFI to assess the sensitivity and specificity of Trauma Specific Frailty Index in predicting adverse outcomes through a diverse account utilizing multiple facilities.
Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) is a laboratory model used to study hemorrhage in humans. The investigators hypothesize that the physiologic changes that occur with application of LBNP mimic those observed in bleeding and hemodynamically unstable trauma patients, and that LBNP is a truly valid model of human hemorrhage.
