German Rosette: Adelantos en la medicina podrían ayudar a rematadores de cabeza.
Según un estudio del Albert Einstein College of Medicine ha determinado que rematar de forma frecuente el balón con la cabeza puede conducir a síntomas parecidos a los de una conmoción cerebral.”
— German Rosete
MIAMI, FLORIDA, ESTADOS UNIDOS, May 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — El impacto de los remates de cabeza en la salud de los futbolistas.
Uno de los recursos más utilizados y espectaculares en el futbol es el remate de cabeza. Una acción técnica muy importante para el desarrollo de cualquier partido. Un remate que, por su naturaleza, en fechas recientes ha despertado el interés de los especialistas en neurología debido a los daños cerebrales que esta acción tan común puede causar a largo plazo.
“Según un estudio del Albert Einstein College of Medicine y el Montefiore Health System, se ha determinado que rematar de forma frecuente el balón con la cabeza puede conducir a síntomas parecidos a los de una conmoción cerebral. ” comentó German Rosete.
De esta manera, los resultados obtenidos por el estudio muestran que, aunque los futbolistas tienen más riesgo de sufrir un traumatismo por golpearse accidentalmente con un rival o compañero, también existe el riesgo de sufrir traumas importantes debido al constante golpeo de balón con la cabeza.
La historia de Jeff Astle.
Jeff Astle solía ser el clásico delantero de antaño, un futbolista capaz de mandar a las redes cualquier balón que se cruzara en su camino. Ídolo durante muchos años del West Bromwich Albion, Astle era el líder y la figura más importante de su equipo. Sería en la final de la FA Cup de 1968 donde Astle se convertiría en leyenda tras la obtención del título logrando marcar en todas las rondas de la competición, todo un hito para su tiempo.
Jeff Astle dejaría el futbol con un importante palmarés y un legado que perduraría por siempre en la memoria de los aficionados de su club. Mientras el ex delantero inglés disfrutaba de su merecido retiro, ‘el Rey’ como era apodado, fue perdiendo rápidamente sus facultades mentales. Astle sufriría un importante deterioro cognitivo que terminaría por ser fulgurante. A los 55 años, el ex futbolista ya no podía recordar el nombre de su propia hija. Tras una lucha en contra de su padecimiento, Jeff Astle fallecería en el año de 2002 dejando un importante legado en el deporte donde su testimonio serviría para generar una conciencia hasta ese entonces inexistente. Una vez fallecido, la ciencia estudiaría su cerebro determinando que era muy parecido al de un boxeador. Por primera vez en la historia del deporte se señalaba al fútbol como la causa de un padecimiento cerebral mortal. El diagnostico final sería el de una encefalopatía traumática crónica mejor conocida como ETC provocada por golpear el balón de forma habitual con la cabeza.
La familia de Jeff Astle lograría despertar el interés por esta problemática con la difusión de la historia del exjugador. La propia hija del jugador impulsaría la creación de una fundación dedicada a estudiar la relación entre el fútbol y las enfermedades neuronales. Según un estudio reciente realizado por la universidad de Glasgow en conjunto con la fundación, un exfutbolista tiene tres veces más posibilidades de morir por una enfermedad neuronal.
La creciente preocupación de Alan Shearer.
El ex delantero del Newcastle United y de la selección inglesa es hasta nuestros días el máximo artillero en la historia de la Premier League con 260 goles marcados en 441 encuentros. Habiendo marcado casi 50 de esos 260 tantos con la cabeza, al ariete británico comenzaría a tener una latente preocupación tras experimentar una pequeña pérdida de memoria una vez finalizada su carrera como profesional.
“Por cada gol que anoté de cabeza marqué mil en los entrenamientos; eso me pone en riesgo si es que hay un vínculo entre ambos factores. El fútbol es un deporte duro y brillante, pero hay que estar seguros de que no sea un juego mortal”. Declararía Shearer en entrevista.
La preocupación de la leyenda lo inspiraría a la realización de un documental para la BBC el cual llevaría por nombre: ‘Alan Shearer, demencia, fútbol y yo’. En dicho material, Shearer emprende un viaje en el que comparte con familiares de exfutbolistas con padecimientos similares. El documental de igual forma pretende exponer los recientes avances de la ciencia en la materia intentando generar más conciencia sobre un tema del cual no se habla mucho.
“Busco respuestas que deberían conocerse desde hace muchos, muchos años como saber, por ejemplo, por qué al menos cuatro de los integrantes de la selección inglesa que ganó el Mundial del 66 tienen alzhéimer”
Tomando cartas en el asunto remates de cabeza limitados en Inglaterra.
La Premier League de Inglaterra anunciaría durante el verano pasado una nueva normativa que entraría en vigor durante la presente temporada. El organismo regulador de la máxima categoría del balompié británico determinó que exista un límite en las veces que un jugador puede rematar el balón con la cabeza durante un entrenamiento.
La normativa es clara con sus puntos; solo se deben efectuar un máximo de 10 remates con la cabeza por semana y estos no pueden sobrepasar ciertas distancias. Aunque la normativa pretende proteger a los futbolistas, no existe ninguna limitante para los días de partido que, en la mayoría de los casos, suelen ser dos cada semana lo que no implica un avance real en la prevención de nuevo padecimientos.

h2o Announces FDA Listing of Apple Watch-Based Cueing Feature ‘Foggy’ for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease
The innovative new feature within the Parky app for Apple Watch is available by prescription for people with Parkinson’s disease.
ANKARA, Turkey, April 11, 2024 (Newswire.com)
–
h2o therapeutics today announced that Foggy, the company’s haptic cueing feature, is now available by prescription. The feature is classified as a Class II Medical Device by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Parkinson’s disease affects millions worldwide, presenting unique challenges to both patients and caregivers. Freezing of gait is when someone may have temporary episodes of an inability to step forward. This abnormal gait pattern, in particular, significantly impacts mobility and independence, often leading to falls and decreased quality of life.
Foggy uses the Taptic Engine in Apple Watch to provide vibrotactile stimulation for individuals experiencing freezing of gait, a debilitating symptom of Parkinson’s disease. Users can simply tap a complication on their Apple Watch to initiate haptic feedback that helps with the condition.
“Cueing strategies hold immense promise in aiding individuals with freezing of gait,” says Yagmur Selin Gulmus, founder of h2o therapeutics. “However, the key to their effectiveness lies in accessibility, individualization, and ease of use. Our introduction of Foggy marks a significant advancement in the field, offering patients a non-invasive solution by simply wearing their Apple Watch, designed to assist without adding cognitive load.”
h2o conducted two clinical studies to explore different cueing methods, including audio and visual cues using augmented reality. By collaborating closely with the Parkinson’s community, the company gained valuable insights into patients’ specific needs and preferences. In response, h2o developed Foggy, a user-friendly app tailored to the unique requirements of people living with Parkinson’s disease.
“We’re excited to launch Foggy on World Parkinson’s Day, highlighting a major step in our fight against the tricky problem of freezing of gait, a condition full of unknowns,” explains Gulmus. “Foggy is a starting point towards tackling this issue that only a wealth of real-world data can clarify. Besides haptic cue generation, Foggy also acts as a data platform. This allows us to better understand freezing of gait and individualize our technology to meet the specific needs of those experiencing it.”
In 2022, h2o therapeutics obtained 510(k) marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its prescription mobile app, Parky, designed for monitoring Parkinson’s Disease. Integrated into Parky is the new Class II feature, Foggy, enhancing the app’s capabilities with a holistic approach to manage Parkinson’s symptoms. Parky app enables real-time monitoring of symptoms like tremors and dyskinesia through integration with Apple Watch using the Movement Disorder API; with the addition of Foggy, it now offers even more comprehensive support for patients. This innovation is a valuable tool for facilitating the exchange of meaningful and reliable data between patients and medical professionals, aiding in a better understanding and management of the disease.

Throtle, healthcare’s only dedicated identity company, announced today its data pixel technology will be used by HealthVerity, the leader in synchronizing transformational technologies and real-world data (RWD) to advance the science. Throtle’s pixel technology will enhance HealthVerity Media Measurement, a campaign attribution solution, as well as Audience Manager for precision targeting. The collaboration promises to provide unparalleled data insights for improved campaign efficacy.
Throtle’s powerful pixel technology enables the capture of valuable traffic data, which is then matched against their proprietary healthcare identity graph. The integration of these datasets allows for Throtle ID (TID) generation, a unique identifier that provides deep insights into customer behavior and campaign performance.
In turn, HealthVerity has established the nation’s largest privacy-protected healthcare data ecosystem by assigning patients a unique but persistent identifier, known as a HealthVerity ID (HVID), that allows patient identities to be accurately resolved over time and across data sources in a HIPAA-compliant manner. Media Measurement synchronizes the TID and HVID to provide the most comprehensive view of the patient journey that includes ad impressions and actual patient behavior, allowing for real-time campaign attribution and optimization. Using Audience Manager, self-directed analytics can be performed, while remaining HIPAA compliant, to gain a deeper understanding of patient behavior and more precisely target optimal audience segments.
The Throtle and HealthVerity collaboration unlocks a myriad of measurement use cases, enabling an unprecedented level of analysis and optimization for healthcare marketing efforts. This collaboration not only enhances the accuracy of campaign measurement, but also empowers marketers to make data-driven decisions, ensuring their messages reach the right audience at the right time with the right impact.
“Throtle is thrilled to collaborate with HealthVerity to bring our advanced identity resolution capabilities to the forefront of healthcare marketing,” said Chris Neuner, President of Throtle. “By leveraging our data pixel technology, HealthVerity can offer their clients a deeper understanding of their campaign performance and audience engagement, setting a new standard for precision in healthcare marketing analytics.”
Andrew Kress, CEO of HealthVerity, also expressed enthusiasm about the relationship, stating, “By synchronizing Throtle’s leading consumer identity resolution with our best-in-class patient identity resolution, our Media Measurement and Audience Manager solutions can provide pharmaceutical companies with previously unattainable insights. Working with Throtle is a testament to our commitment to innovation and our continuous effort to provide the life sciences industry with cutting-edge solutions that drive better outcomes for everyone involved.”
This collaboration brings together the strengths of identity resolution and data synchronization to deliver superior insights on the patient journey. As both companies continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare data analytics, the industry can look forward to more personalized, efficient, and effective marketing strategies that benefit healthcare providers and patients alike.
