With one local high school athlete dead from complications of a drug-resistant Staph infection and another being treated for the condition, perhaps it's time for a refresher course in prevention. The infection isn't going away, and its ability to devastate isn't losing shock value. The disease, caused by a strain of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, often begins in a fairly inocuous manner, with a small pimple or sore on the skin. As noted in the current story, Staph infection kills SoCal high school wrestler, the latest victim's symptoms began with rash and flulike symptoms. And athletes who share equipment and personal items are particularly at risk. The California Department of Public Health offers prevention advice specifically for athletes and for athletic departments in general, including what to do with those team members who have draining wounds. Much time is spent on exactly how to wash one's hands. And here are recommendations from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to health clubs, gyms and spas. If you want to ask the friendly maintenance personnel whether they follow these guidelines, feel free. In fact, feel obligated. For instance, they should know how to clean those wood surfaces in the sauna. Two words: Diluted bleach. And a note to patrons: Use a towel between your sweaty self and that gym equipment. Because the guy ahead of you might not have. But skipping the locker room or gym doesn't mean ... Source: www.ksl.com --- 10 days ago

There's something of a medical mystery going on with the Cleveland Browns that has been brought into focus again with the news that veteran wide receiver Joe Jurevicius is likely to miss the first six weeks of the season on the physically unable to perform list. There are also whispers that Jurevicius, 33, who caught 50 passes last season while playing on a bad knee, might be looking at the prospect that his season is loss and possibly that his career is over. He had said that this would be his last year with the Browns, his hometown team. At issue is Staph infection. Jurevicius had routine arthroscopic knee surgery back in January and two weeks later developed the infection. Since then he has had at least one more surgery (perhaps more, according to some reports) to deal with the infection. Where all this gets interesting is that he's the sixth Browns player in four years to be hit with Staph infection . Former Browns center LeCharles Bentley was the most adversely affected and required emergency surgery. The Cleveland Clinic, where a number of the Browns surgeries have taken place, has visited the Browns training facility twice (2005 and 2006) for infection prevention purposes and the facility was cleaned specifically for Staph last year. Among other Browns hit with Staph were wide receiver Braylon Edwards and tight end Kellen Winslow. ... Source: www.sciencedaily.com --- 36 days ago

Bad news for the Cleveland Browns. It looks likely that Joe Jurevicius, a local hero who got his start with the Lake Catholic Cougars, may be heading for the physically unable to perform list. If that was to happen Jurevicius would miss the first 6 games of the season and give Browns quarterback one less option in the receiving corp. Browns GM Phil Savage spoke to local radio station WTAM when asked about the 33 year old receiver told them: "It's been pretty frustrating because this started as an innocent knee scope back in January, and it's morphed itself into multiple procedures," Savage told radio station WTAM. "Obviously, every time he takes a step forward, it's been two steps back." read more ...
