2. 0:07infections standardized locker room
3. 0:09procedures need to be enforced
4. 0:12good afternoon my colleagues dr martinez
5. 0:15and dr popoff and i are here to talk to
6. 0:18you about an issue known as mrsa
7. 0:20methicillin-resistant staphylococcus
8. 0:23aureosis that is a major problem among
9. 0:25athletes
10. 0:27it is a bacterium that causes infections
11. 0:29in different parts of the body it's
12. 0:31suffered a treat than most strains of
13. 0:33staph because it's resistant to some
14. 0:35commonly used antibiotics the symptoms
15. 0:38depends on where you're infected
16. 0:41most often it causes mild infections on
17. 0:44the skin like sores or boils
18. 0:47but it can also cause more serious skin
19. 0:49infections in infected surgical wounds
20. 0:53the bloodstream the lungs or a urinary
21. 0:55tract
22. 0:56mrsa is difficult to treat because it's
23. 1:00currently considered a super bug
24. 1:03and now to discuss the signs and
25. 1:05symptoms of mrsa we have your very own
26. 1:08local superstar cam newton
27. 1:14all right to get started
28. 1:16what caused you to become infected with
29. 1:19mrsa well a few years ago back when i
30. 1:21was in college i got hit one of my games
31. 1:23and one of my wounds open and instead of
32. 1:26covering with the bandage i hopped in
33. 1:28the shower and grabbed a dirty towel
34. 1:30when i got out
35. 1:31ah
36. 1:32that's problematic
37. 1:34all right so what were some of the signs
38. 1:37and symptoms that you
39. 1:39that led you to believe that
40. 1:41you had a possible case of mrsa
41. 1:44after about two weeks the cut didn't
42. 1:45heal and it developed into what looked
43. 1:47like a spider bite and that developed
44. 1:49into a painful plus filled sore
45. 1:53so what do you think you could have done
46. 1:54to prevent it
47. 1:56i probably could have covered the cut
48. 1:58right away and and seek immediate
49. 2:01treatment
50. 2:02and probably couldn't use a clean towel
51. 2:05yeah
52. 2:06all right so thank you so much for
53. 2:08coming
54. 2:12here is an early case of mrsa but
55. 2:15without treatment it can become much
56. 2:16larger and begin to ooze pus like so
57. 2:23and now we're going to turn it over to
58. 2:25dr popoff who will discuss the diagnosis
59. 2:28of mrsa among athletes
60. 2:30if an athlete has signs of mrsa they
61. 2:33must immediately seek medical help from
62. 2:35a trainer or doctor
63. 2:37if it is in fact mrsa the boil should be
64. 2:39drained to obtain a culture of the womb
65. 2:42a culture is a sample of blood urine
66. 2:45bodily fluid or a swab of the wound from
67. 2:48a patient that is sent to the lab for
68. 2:50testing
69. 2:51certain cultural results may require
70. 2:53additional testing due to resistance
71. 2:56thank you for sharing that important
72. 2:58information with us dr popoff
73. 3:00now would you mind addressing how mrsa
74. 3:02spreads among athletes
75. 3:04let's spread when you touch another
76. 3:06person who has mrsa on their skin but
77. 3:08it's also transmitted by thermites which
78. 3:11are inadequate objects carrying around
79. 3:12the bacteria
80. 3:14currently more and more healthy athletes
81. 3:16are becoming infected with
82. 3:18community-associated mrsa also known as
83. 3:20camrsa
84. 3:22published reports showed that up to 70
85. 3:25of infected athletes are hospitalized
86. 3:27and given antibiotics infection control
87. 3:30measures are essential in order to
88. 3:32protect high-risk groups such as
89. 3:34athletes participating in contact sports
90. 3:36from contracting ca mrsa
91. 3:41thank you for your time dr popoff
92. 3:44and now stay tuned for upcoming topics
93. 3:47on
94. 3:48treatment
95. 3:49effects of the disease
96. 3:51athletes most at risk
97. 3:53and prevention among athletes also after
98. 3:56the break we'll be having a live
99. 3:58demonstration on effective procedures to
100. 4:01reduce the spread of mrsa among athletes
101. 4:04following this demonstration we will
102. 4:06conclude with risk factors
103. 4:08what corporations such as the nfl are
104. 4:11doing
105. 4:12and facilities management after
106. 4:14infection
107. 4:16and now for the effects of mrsa on
108. 4:18athletes
109. 4:20currently the most severe effects among
110. 4:22athletes are amputations of body parts
111. 4:25such as arms legs hands or feet
112. 4:29um along with hospitalization for
113. 4:31extended periods of time
114. 4:34dr martinez did you know that athletes
115. 4:37participating in contact sports are at
116. 4:39increased risk for skin and soft tissue
117. 4:42infections because of the frequency of
118. 4:44skin trauma and crowded conditions
119. 4:47the following sports
120. 4:49are at risk for contracting mrsa
121. 4:52football rugby wrestling basketball and
122. 4:55soccer
123. 4:57all right so now let's talk about some
124. 4:58of the risk factors that
125. 5:01are
126. 5:02involved with mrsa
127. 5:04which are also associated with athletic
128. 5:06training facilities and locker rooms
129. 5:09ca verso spreads easily in lock in
130. 5:12facilities that do not take preventative
131. 5:15measures geared towards hygiene
132. 5:16education
133. 5:18implementing effective cleaning routines
134. 5:21and seeking immediate medical action
135. 5:25the following factors contribute to the
136. 5:27likelihood of getting mrsa
137. 5:30direct contact player position
138. 5:33sharing facilities equipment and
139. 5:36personal items
