Interventionelle Behandlungen des vegetativen Nervensystems bei Sportverletzungen mit CRPS und DOMS

Injections around the autonomic nervous system, particularly the so-called sympathetic trunk, have been established for years. The main focus so far has been the treatment of CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). The procedures are being increasingly used for other indications that are associated with vegetative dysregulation, such as DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).

MSC (medizinische Signalzellen) in der regenerativen Medizin – beispielhaft SVF

In the context of regenerative medicine, therapy using autologous cells (in combination with platelet-rich plasma) appears to be a promising option. The so-called medicinal signaling cells (MSC), also known as mesenchymal stem cells, can be obtained, for example, from bone marrow, subcutaneous adipose tissue, or umbilical cord blood, and can be applied to targets of degeneration or inflammation.

This makes it difficult for the therapist to arrive at a clear diagnosis, and even more difficult to develop a therapy concept.

Development of a physical activity prescription in Luxembourg

Background: We aimed to develop a physical activity prescription (PAP) that would help efficiently promote PA by medical practitioners in Luxembourg. Methods: During a first phase, a PAP model and its user guide were created by 15 experts (medical doctors, sport and exercise scientists, physiotherapists). Second, this PAP and its user guide were evaluated by a panel of medical doctors (different from the 15 experts) who were asked to answer a questionnaire in 2 rounds using 41 questions and 2 questions, respectively.

Safeguarding dans le sport suisse – Pourquoi tout va-t-il si lentement?

Le sport suisse accomplit un travail de grande valeur. C’est l’une des principales raisons pour lesquelles nos athlètes remportent régulièrement des succès aux Jeux olympiques, aux championnats du monde et d’Europe, dans les catégories élite et junior. Mais le sport a aussi ses côtés sombres, dont l’un concerne les abus sous toutes leurs formes. Des études scientifiques menées au cours des trois dernières années ont montré que la proportion de personnes touchées en Suisse correspond aux chiffres alarmants des enquêtes menées à l’étranger. Les nombreux rapports reçus par le bureau d’éthique de Swiss Sport Integrity, actif depuis janvier 2022, ne peuvent que le souligner.

Safeguarding im Schweizer Sport – Warum geht alles so langsam?

Im Schweizer Sport wird viel wertvolle Arbeit geleistet. Dies ist einer der wichtigen Gründe, dass unsere Athletinnen und Athleten an Olympischen Spielen, Welt- und Europameisterschaften im Elite- und Nachwuchsbereich immer wieder Erfolge vorweisen können. Sport hat aber auch seine dunklen Seiten, eine davon betrifft den Missbrauch in all seinen möglichen Formen. Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen der letzten drei Jahre belegen, dass der Anteil Betroffener sich in der Schweiz mit den erschreckend hohen Zahlen von Erhebungen aus dem Ausland deckt. Die zahlreich eingehenden Meldungen bei der seit Januar 2022 aktiven Ethikmeldestelle von Swiss Sport Integrity können diesen Sachverhalt nur unterstreichen.

Safeguarding in Swiss sport – Why is everything going so slowly?

A lot of valuable work is done in Swiss sport. This is one of the main reasons why our athletes are able to repeatedly achieve success at the Olympic Games, World and European Championships in the elite and junior categories. However, sport also has its dark sides, one of which concerns abuse in all its possible forms. Scientific studies conducted over the last three years have shown that the proportion of people affected in Switzerland is in line with the alarmingly high figures from surveys conducted abroad. The numerous reports received by Swiss Sport Integrity’s ethics reporting office, which has been active since January 2022, can only underline this fact.
