This document, which relies on the expert perspective of the Sports Cardiology Forum of the Israeli Heart Society, was created to equip attending physicians with essential tools for addressing such inquiries. Given that sudden death resulting from ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality among individuals over 35 years old who participate in high-intensity sports, screening within this demographic aims to detect coronary disease and its risk factors. Regular physical activity is a crucial component of healthy living, with its benefits outweighing potential risks. Asymptomatic individuals planning to undertake light to moderate physical activity, even if they are at high risk for atherosclerotic disease, do not necessitate preparticipation evaluation.","PeriodicalId":101459,"journal":{"name":"Harefuah","volume":"164 3","pages":"145-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It includes two boys and one girl with an average age of 12.5±0.5 years with spherical equivalent (SE) of -4.06±0.35 diopters (D) and an average axial length (AL) of 25.11±0.49 mm at the beginning of treatment. All children exhibited myopia progression the year before treatment, averaging 1.29±0.13- D SE. The children had not previously undergone myopia management treatment. Due to this rapid progression, a combination of daily instillation of 0.05% atropine and wearing a daily disposable soft contact lens of a unique design was initiated. Cycloplegic refraction was checked, and a slit-lamp examination was conducted every six months. The children's 8-item Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire (CLDEQ-8) score was 19.33±2.52. Over a year, the average myopia progression decreased to -0.34±0.12 diopters, and the average AL growth was 0.16±0.10 mm. This case series reports successful combined treatment for the rapid progression of myopia and a mini-review of the medical literature on the subject.","PeriodicalId":101459,"journal":{"name":"Harefuah","volume":"164 2","pages":"90-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143485432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[DISCOVERIES FROM THE WORLD OF CHINESE MEDICINE: TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS FOR ROSACEA].","authors":"Ofir Kotek, David Perla, Aviv Barzilai, Sharon Baum","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects mostly the facial skin. Possible symptoms include redness, papules, pustules, and changes in the nose and eyes. The cause is unknown, but may be related to diet, alcoholic drinks, demodicosis and more. Some patients seek alternatives to conventional treatments and turn to traditional Chinese medicine, which provides a holistic and alternative approach that includes treatment with medicinal herbs, acupuncture, and more.Objectives: This article presents a 50-year-old patient suffering from severe rosacea for the past three years, without improvement using conventional treatments. The patient was then treated with Chinese medicine, resulting in significant improvement.Conclusions: Integrating Chinese medicine into modern medical treatment can help improve the condition of rosacea patients. Further research is needed to establish evidence and prove efficacy, to allow the integration of these tools into guidelines and daily treatment.Discussion: Rosacea patients turn to complementary therapies due to dissatisfaction and lack of progress with conventional treatments. These patients have explored various treatment paths, including complementary medicine, particularly Traditional Chinese Medicine. Insights from recent studies indicate an improvement in the condition and quality of life of rosacea patients in response to these treatments, compared to both placebo and, in some cases, even modern treatments. The trend of using these complementary therapies requires a broader understanding and evidence-based guidelines, as these treatments are considered relatively safe with minimal side effects and good tolerability.","PeriodicalId":101459,"journal":{"name":"Harefuah","volume":"164 2","pages":"82-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[CONGENITAL TOXOPLASMOSIS: AWARENESS ENABLES PREVENTION, EARLY TREATMENT, AND IMPROVED OUTCOME].","authors":"Lia Schoenfeld, Liat Gindes, Tally Lerman-Sagie","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Infection with the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii is a common worldwide infection and is often asymptomatic. A unique risk group that requires identification of such infection is fetuses, and the earlier the infection, the more severe the damage. As pregnancy progresses, the risk of fetal infection increases. The parasite causes inflammatory processes in the placenta, fetal brain, eyes, and heart. The range of damage includes miscarriages, neurological and psychiatric disorders, hearing impairment, visual impairment, and cardiovascular disorders. In order to reduce the incidence of toxoplasmosis in children, awareness and preventive measures are required. Primary prevention is carried out by hand hygiene and avoiding certain foods. Secondary prevention is carried out by early detection through serological screening tests, and tertiary prevention is carried out by early treatment of mothers who have been infected with the parasite, or by testing newborns, who may be asymptomatic at birth but can still develop serious illness. It has been found that in Israel, the relative rate of severe clinical manifestations in children is higher than in European countries. The combination of risk groups, the lack of screening tests for pregnant women, and the lack of appropriate treatment can explain this observation. The aim of this review is to raise awareness of congenital toxoplasmosis and the possibilities of prevention and reduction of harm to fetuses and children. It also provides up-to-date information and recommendations for policy change.","PeriodicalId":101459,"journal":{"name":"Harefuah","volume":"164 2","pages":"114-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143485433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
