Six reasons why rest days actually boost your running
Runner's World online

Taking time off from running, even if it’s just one day, can be a lot tougher than it sounds. We tend to focus on the positive aspects of the sport, and rightfully so: Running allows us to get outside, bust stress, strengthen our muscles, fuel creativity, and be competitive—and all those endorphins help improve our moods and reign in our crankiness.

Use of Point of Care Ultrasound during Shoulder Reduction
Current Sports Medicine ReportsKathryn Anne Dasburg and Kevin R. Vincent

Shoulder dislocations are frequently encountered by sports medicine providers, both on the sideline and in the emergency room. There are several shoulder reduction techniques available depending on both location of the injury and provider preference. On occasion, sedation will be required for the reduction if attempts to reduce a shoulder without sedation have failed. In the emergency room, X-rays are taken prior to any reduction attempt to confirm dislocation type and whether or not a coexisting fracture exists. If a patient requires sedation, they are moved to a room where appropriate monitoring and supplies are available, appropriate medications are administered, and reduction is then attempted while the patient is sedated.
