Extra fun to host the Elite 8 and witness your Alma mater make the final four. What a team!

The difference between competing once and competing all season is how they’re cared for in between 🧡 Thank you to @MethodistHosp and the RODEOHOUSTON Sports Medicine Committee.

Rice University is partnering with @MethodistHosp on critical concussion research. 🧠⚽🏈 Over the next two years, 120 Division I Rice student-athletes will participate in a study, supported by the @NFLPA, to investigate the link between the gut and brain. Researchers aim to identify new concussion biomarkers in the athletes' gut microbiomes, providing insights that go beyond traditional brain imaging. This innovative study could change the way we understand, detect and treat concussions. #ResearchAtRice #ConcussionAwareness #StudentAthletes

@RiceOwlsVoice @coloranalyst @RiceFootball @LEARFIELDAudio Great Call JP!

What a terrible story. Funding athletic trainers at each school and having functioning AEDs saves lives. HISD leadership needs to address this situation. abc13.com/post/superinte…

Dr. Vijay Jotwani, sports medicine specialist with Houston Methodist and team physician with the U.S. Soccer Federation, shares how he helps prepare elite athletes for competition.

Showdown in Marseille. 🇺🇸🇫🇷 The USMNT gets its #ParisOlympics underway TODAY at 3pm against host nation France.

Helped get our Mens Soccer Team ready for the Olympics in France in beautiful Bordeaux. Excited to see them bring home a medal!

Great talks as always at @MethodistHosp Tullos Annual Orthopedic Research Symposium! AI for medical information has more accurate and comprehensive information than our patients’ typical google search but some large learning models are better than others.

On Saturday 12th June 2021, Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch shortly before half-time during the nation’s Euro 2020 opening game against Finland in Copenhagen. Eriksen had suffered a cardiac arrest. Medical experts in attendance have said his heart stopped and they feared he was “gone” during the most traumatic moment in the history of the competition. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝑬𝒓𝒊𝒌𝒔𝒆𝒏? Eriksen scuttled from the penalty area to make himself available to receive the ball from a throw-in and suddenly appeared to fall face-first towards the turf. It was immediately clear to the players on the field and referee Anthony Taylor that he had collapsed. Team-mates immediately placed Eriksen into the recovery position and Denmark captain Simon Kjaer sprinted towards the scene. He helped to clear Eriksen’s airways and preventing the player from swallowing his tongue. In the heat of the moment, Kjaer had assisted as one of the first responders and then he led his team-mates in forming a protective shield around Eriksen to prevent cameras from intruding. He required emergency CPR treatment on the field of play for 13 minutes. 𝘋𝘦𝘯𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘉𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯: "He (Eriksen) was gone. And we did cardiac resuscitation. It was a cardiac arrest. How close were we? I don’t know. We got him back after one defibrillator. That is quite fast. How close were we? I don’t know." "When I got to him, he was on his side, he was breathing, I could feel a pulse but suddenly that changed and we started to give him CPR. It was clear he was unconscious. "The help came really fast from the medical team and the rest of the staff with their co-operation. "We did what we had to do and managed to get Christian back."
