As Summer Heats Up, CHOP Researchers Study Caregiver Attitudes Toward Pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke

Retrieved on:

水曜日, 6月 21, 2023

PHILADELPHIA, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite prevention efforts, a child dies of heatstroke in a vehicle approximately once every 10 days. According to a new survey of caregivers conducted by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), most caregivers report they never leave children in their vehicles for any length of time. However, the attitudes toward those who were thought to put their children at risk for pediatric vehicular heatstroke are largely negative, which may cause some caregivers not to adopt important mitigation efforts to prevent these tragic deaths.

Key Points:

However, the attitudes toward those who were thought to put their children at risk for pediatric vehicular heatstroke are largely negative, which may cause some caregivers not to adopt important mitigation efforts to prevent these tragic deaths.
In 2019, slightly more than half of those deaths resulted from a caregiver forgetting a child in the vehicle.
With a long-term goal of developing effective pediatric vehicular heatstroke prevention strategies, researchers wanted to understand how caregivers perceive their own risks and their attitudes toward prevention strategies.

CHOP Researchers Comprehensively Assess the Safety of Using Your Head in Youth Soccer

Retrieved on:

水曜日, 5月 24, 2023

PHILADELPHIA, May 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Repeatedly heading a soccer ball has been previously associated with negative long-term brain health for professional players. However, in a new study from researchers at the Minds Matter Concussion Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), a small number of repeated soccer headers equivalent to a throw-in did not cause immediate neurophysiological deficits for teens, suggesting that limited soccer heading exposure in youth sports may not result in irreversible harm if players are properly trained.

Key Points:

The findings, which represent the most comprehensive real-time study of soccer headers in adolescent athletes, were published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering .
For some professional athletes, repeated head loading in sports – using your head as part of the game – is associated with negative long-term brain health even when there are no initial clinical symptoms.
Despite the awareness of long-term consequences, short-term neurophysiological issues after repeated head impacts like soccer heading are poorly understood in youth athletes.
The study did not assess the safety of regular soccer headers over the course of a season or scholastic career.
