February 24, 2015 by 1 Comment

jsm-podcast-bg-1Our second podcast of the year focuses on the on-going sport ‘concussion crisis,’ a topic we have explored in previous podcasts with guests such as Drs. Cindy Chang and Matt Gammons of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) and Drs. Oliver Leslie and Neil Craton of the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine (CASEM/ACMSE).

Chris Nowinski

We’re happy to have Chris Nowinski as our guest for this podcast.  He is the author of Head Games, the co-founder and chief executive officer of the Sports Legacy Institute, and a published author in the pages of the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine.

Our conversation ranged from the issues of underreporting of brain injury in sport to the use of helmet sensors in helmeted sports to identify possible concussive and sub-concussive hits; from youth football to elite soccer, and more.

We appreciate the time Chris gave us from his busy schedule, and we hope you enjoy the conversation.  Share with us your comments–here on the blog or on our twitter feed, @cjsmonline.

Enjoy!

CJSM Podcast 6: Sports Ultrasound

December 29, 2014 by 1 Comment

jsm-podcast-bg-1With the New Year, we have a new issue, and the January 2015 CJSM is packed with interesting new research.

Among the many articles you’ll want to check out are two relating to sports ultrasound: the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) Position Statement on Interventional Ultrasound in Sports Medicine and the AMSSM Recommended Sports Ultrasound Curriculum for Sports Medicine Fellowships.

Our first podcast of the year is a conversation with the lead author of these two papers, Jonathan Finnoff, D.O. of the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center.

Take a listen and tell us what  you think!  And Happy New Year!

CJSM Podcast 5

November 3, 2014 by 2 Comments

jsm-podcast-bg-1I’m pleased to present the journal’s fifth podcast, highlighting the new ACSM and FIMS consensus statement on the Preparticipation evaluation (PPE) published just last week in the November 2014 CJSM.

I was able to interview William Roberts, M.D., M.S., FACSM, the lead author of the study.  I learned a lot from the conversation with Dr. Roberts.  I hope you do too.

Listen to the podcast here, or use the iTunes link found on the main page to check out all of our podcasts.

And while you are at it, please also visit the previous blog post and take the poll:  we’re interested to know if you use electronic documentation and data storage when you conduct PPE’s (a so-called ‘e-PPE’).  Enjoy!
