♀️Most women who get waved off in perimenopause are not dramatic.
A lot of clinicians were barely taught this. In one survey, only about 7% of medical residents felt prepared to manage menopause. About 20% got no lectures on it at all.
If you were told it was “just stress,” that can be a training gap. Not a personality flaw.
Likely a groin (adductor) strain for Linus Ullmark
We saw a similar injury mechanism with Logan Thompson who did not have to leave the game
Adductor injuries were the single most common injury in a large NHL goaltender cohort (23.4%), the overwhelming majority non-contact
Return to play for an adductor strain is guided by pain-free status: no pain on palpation, resisted contraction, or stretch, and completion of sport-specific agility
Sens goalie Linus Ullmark has left the game with an injury.
He was helped off the ice with a trainer

Logan Thompson of the Capitals is DTD after seemingly tweaking something in this video
He stayed in the game and the clear and most common concern in an adductor (groin) strain of some sorts
Very common mechanism of it and very common in goalies
He seemingly forcibly stretches that right leg into abduction with slight push off which is a common way to do this
Could be a hip flexor strain too
@daniwao One of the only drinks ever that made me gag
More and more recent research coming out to strengthen to points on how to combat fatigue
Some takeaways…
🍝Carb intake has been linked to more fatigue and less alertness than placebo
☕️Caffeine in the afternoon still hits at bedtime, and coffee should be stopped about 8 hours before sleep with energy/preworkout drinks 13 hours before to not disrupt sleep
🍳People who skipped breakfast and had irregular meal times in studies reported more fatigue
🏃Excuse had the strongest effects. Training reduced feelings of training and increased energy and vitality, even in people with chronic fatigue syndrome
🍺Alcohol hurts deep sleep, even if it makes you fall asleep faster
TLDR: skip sweets and alcohol, stop caffeine early, eat regular meals and exercise!
Interesting stuff, the consensus on hormone therapy continues to move in a positive direction
Menopause and the time around it is full of differences for everyone and it isn’t one size fits all
I’ve written a book with a good overview and tons of tools everyone can use⬇️ https://t.co/fBOdnryfDY

🐧Very scary news about Ben Kindel and his reported (key word as hockey media can be scums) seizure
Regardless, here is a brief overview of a very complicated and deep topic for general knowledge!⬇️
❓A seizure is a brief burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
Not all seizures cause shaking; some cause staring, unusual sensations, or brief periods of unresponsiveness.
One seizure does NOT automatically mean epilepsy!!!!!
Causes: Seizures may result from an immediate problem such as low blood sugar, alcohol withdrawal, or a brain infection or occur without an immediate trigger
Main Types of Seizures 🧠
Seizures are classified by where they start in the brain:
Focal: Begin on one side. They may cause unusual sensations, repeated movements, or changes in awareness and responsiveness. Some spread to both sides and cause full-body stiffening and shaking
Generalized: Involve both sides from the start
Examples of generalized include:
🔹Tonic-clonic: Stiffening followed by rhythmic shaking, with loss of consciousness
🔹Absence: Brief staring spells with a lapse in responsiveness
🔹Myoclonic: Sudden, brief muscle jerks.
🔹Atonic: Sudden loss of muscle strength, sometimes causing a fall.
🔹Unknown or unclassified: There isn’t enough information to determine where the seizure began or classify it more specifically
Evaluation: The person’s history, blood tests, an EEG (brain-wave recording), and often an MRI help identify the cause and risk of another seizure.
Outlook: Up to 70% of people with epilepsy could become seizure-free with appropriate diagnosis and treatment. After a first unprovoked seizure, adults have roughly a 21–45% chance of another within two years.
🚨 Seizure first aid!
Stay calm! Time it, clear nearby hazards, cushion the head, and gently turn the person onto their side when possible.
Never restrain them or put anything in their mouth.
Call 911 for a first seizure, one lasting longer than five minutes, repeated seizures without recovery, or trouble breathing.
Very scary high stick here on Jake McCabe who left the game
Immediate concern for an eye injury
The overriding immediate concern with plays like this is a open globe injury which is a surgical emergency
This mechanism can also cause eyelid lacerations, orbital fractures, hyphema (pool of blood in the front of the eye), corneal abrasion/laceration, and others
Would be important to protect the eye and assess vision early

Great news for McCabe to avoid major injury to that eye
Jim Hiller says Jake McCabe was held out more for precautionary reasons and appears to be ok.
@Ozoon_CA
OpenEvidence the 🐐
Be careful what questions you ask an AI. @OpenEvidence gets this one correct.
OE is for clinicians only.
Montour playing tonight so likely just tweaked someone and played it safe!
Brandon Montour left the game early last night and is listed as DTD now
Only video I could find of the potential injury here
His knees didn’t seem to undergo excessive stress in any direction so I’d think his knees are fine, especially given the day to day
He may have overstretched his adductor muscles as he looked to go into an awkward split for a second
Even those injuries are week-to-week with some conservative treatment so interesting to see news and could just be a precaution
Good depiction of open globe injuries

Jake McCabe is not on the Leafs bench to begin the second period after exiting the game following this scary stick to the face

Apparently Ben’s news was supposed to be kept private but I shall preface this a seizure post and not Kindel post
Hockey media bad, seizure awareness good
