“…Epidemiological data suggest that endurance athletes are at increased risk for upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) during periods of heavy training and the 1 to 2-wk period following race events. The macrophages and neutrophils of the innate immune system provide a first line of defense against many common microorganisms and are essential for the control of common bacterial infections (Baril et al, 1998, Nieman et al, 2002. A number of epidemiologic studies have shown increased risk of URTI in athletes up to 2 weeks after endurance races (Nieman et al.…”

Introduction: Long-distance running race is a stressful event that can significantly affect virtually any of the physiologic systems of runners. More recently evidence has been mounting to support the long-distance running perception that athletes are susceptible to certain illness during intense training and major competition. Aim of Work: To focus on the immune function and neuroendocrine parameters response to prolonged (90 min) and intensive endurance running. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 12 male children runners (13.51 ± 1.29 years) 0h, 1hour, after the race. Complete blood count, secretion of cytokines in mitogen-activated cell culture and plasma, plasma concentration of β-endorphin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, and growth hormone (GH) were analyzed. Results: Significant increase in granulocyte and monocytes (MID-cell) count and lymphopenia were seen immediately after the race. Secretion of interleukin2 (IL-2) and interferon (IFN-γ) significantly declined at 0h and 1h after the running. Secretion of Tumor Necosis Factor (TNF-α) declined at 0h & remained suppressed until 1hours. Suppression in the secretion of (IL-1β) was observed at 1hour. Activated secretion of (IL-6) decreased after 1hours. Peak concentrations of ACTH, cortisol, β-endorphin, and GH were registered after the race (0 &1h). Conclusion: We co-ncluded that long-distance running race associated stress factors can alter physiologic balan-ce of cell-mediated versus humoral and antiinflammatory versus proinflammatory cytokin-es. Results suggest that hypothalamicpituitary-adrenocortical axis hormones played a sign-ificant role in the regulation of the observed changes. This information may be beneficial for development of new stress countermeasures to preserve wellness in subjects undergoing intensive physiological stress.

KEYWORDSPubalgia; Sports hernia; Ultrasound.Abstract There is considerable confusion over the word "pubalgia" with regard to the definition and the etiological causes of this condition. The term pubalgia should be used to indicate disabling pain affecting the pubic region in people who practise sports. Pubalgia affects 10% of those who practise sports and it is particularly prevalent in football players. According to the literature, about 40% of cases of pubalgia are caused by overuse of the symphysis pubis with progressive lesions affecting the rectus abdominal muscles, adductors (rectal-adductor syndrome) and the symphysis itself (osteitis pubis and joint injury). An initial study of the tendons is carried out by ultrasound (US) whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed to study the bones and joints.Another 40% of cases of pubalgia are caused by "sports hernia" defined as anteroinferior abdominal wall insufficiency. These alterations can only be identified at dynamic US examination.About 20% of cases of pubalgia are caused by diseases of the neighboring structures or joints such as diseases of the hip, iliopsoas, hamstring, sacred iliac or nerves, or by urogenital diseases.Sommario Vi è notevole confusione circa la parola "pubalgia", sia per quanto riguarda la sua definizione sia per quanto riguarda le sue cause etiologiche. Il termine di pubalgia dovrebbe essere utilizzato per indicare una sintomatologia dolorosa, invalidante che interessa la regione pubica di chi pratica attività sportiva. Sono interessati il 10% di chi pratica attività sportiva con prevalenza per il footbal. Dalla revisione della letteratura circa il 40% delle pubalgie sono da ricondurre a sovraccarico funzionale sulla sinfisi pubica con lesioni progressive che interessano i retti addominali, gli adduttori (sindrome retto-adduttoria), e la sinfisi stessa (osteite pubica e danno alla articolazione). Lo studio dei tendini trova nella ecografia il primo approccio diagnostico riservando alla RM lo studio della componente ossea e articolare.Un altro 40% dei casi di pubalgia riconosce la causa etiologica nella "sport hernia", definibile come una insufficienza della parete addominale antero-inferiore. La diagnostica ecografica è l'unica in grado di rilevare tali alterazioni che necessitano per essere individuate un esame dinamico.Infine in circa il 20% dei casi la pubalgia è causata da patologie di strutture o apparati limitrofi: patologia dell'anca, dell'ileo-psoas, degli hamstring, della sacro iliaca o dei nervi, fino alle patologie urogenitali. ª
