Sneak preview of 'contents' of the first book

You'll probably be able to tell I've had a lot of fun putting this together 😆

@DrJN_SportsMed This looks really interesting. Cant wait!

Knee surgery: We found no evidence of benefit from the procedure, with a suggestion of worse outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy than after sham surgery. 10-year follow-up of Teppo Järvinen’s randomised trial. https://t.co/7b3PvzpZm8

@hubermanlab There isn’t even basic safety data. You could inject 20 guys and just report back on safety data and it would immediately be the best study available for MSK purposes in humans. Even the cheaper studies don’t exist.

@BrianSuttererMD The “minimal manipulation” stipulation of biologic treatments in the US creates an avenue for European counterparts to provide unproven cellular treatments with incubation periods. That’s one area where I could see an elite athlete seek care there.

@3184_farm_ridge @grok @mcuban @costplusdrugs Have you considered Xarelto over Eliquis? They are largely interchangeable in terms of conditions they treat.

@grok @Nonpartisnan @GovCox @POTUS So a roughly 4% cut in agricultural usage would save the same amount of water as a 50% cut in residential usage?

[Cole Taylor, MD @DocOfSports]

@grok @Nonpartisnan @GovCox @POTUS What makes up the other 89% of water diversions?

[Cole Taylor, MD @DocOfSports]

@grok @Nonpartisnan @GovCox @POTUS @grok, What percent of water usage in Utah goes to lawn maintenance by homeowners. You suggest xeriscaping. What kind of a dent in water usage would that provide?

@dollarsanddata Their budget for fiscal year ending in 2024 was $116.5 billion. They made $33.6 billion in tourism-related taxation. When you can cover 30% of your budget with money made from out-of-staters, it helps the math quite a bit.

@josh_furlong I definitely like the way Norway approaches youth sports. But the reason they have so many medals is because they focus more on winter sports there. They currently have 19 medals in cross country skiing and biathlon combined. That isn’t because of a superior youth sports scene.

@Retlouping Thank you for posting! I will make changes to my practice based on this research.

Immediate physical therapy is beneficial for adolescent athletes with active lumbar spondylolysis: a multicentre randomised trial https://t.co/alb7AOcONV
“Immediate PT showed greater initial improvements in pain and dysfunction, a quicker return to sport and a lower recurrence…

@AdamMeakins I also took it for my own radicular pain from a herniated disc. It would take 5/6-level pain to maybe a 2/3. No side effects for me. Stayed low dose. NSAIDs pretty rough on my gut. Just one man’s experience. But similar to many patients of mine.

[Cole Taylor, MD @DocOfSports]

@AdamMeakins Interesting. I use a lot of different tools for radicular pain and one of them is gabapentin. Biggest issue I run into is short term side effects from sensitivity to medication. Start slowly and monitor for these issues. But I don’t see issues longer term. Helpful for many.

@DrJN_SportsMed A neutral wrist brace can also be helpful for the floppy wrist, to reduce stress on the common extensor tendon after injection, and to keep the PRP right where you injected it.

[Cole Taylor, MD @DocOfSports]

@DrJN_SportsMed Agreed! They make a big difference. I do half lidocaine and half ropivacaine to provide immediate anesthesia for the injection procedure along with some longer-term relief in the hours after the procedure during platelet activation.

@DanWolken I have treated a lot of ACL tears through the years with a lot of high level athletes. They generally cannot squat jump, box jump, side lunge and bend like she did 1 week after. That isn’t just being tough. Her knee is allowing her to do that. To me, that is the question here.
