Abstract

Bicycle-related injuries have increased as cycling has become more popular. Most injuries to recreational riders are associated with overuse or improper fit of the bicycle. Injuries to racers often result from high speeds, which predispose riders to muscle strains, collisions, and falls. Cyclists contact bicycles at the pedals, seat, and handlebars. Each is associated with particular cycling injuries.

Reported alcohol consumption and the serum carbohydrate-deficient transferrin test in third-year medical students.

The serum carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) test was performed on 143 third-year medical students along with questionnaires for the self-reporting of alcohol consumption during the last 2 weeks, the last 6 months, and questions on any alcohol-related untoward events. We found that the CDT test has poor sensitivity for detecting binge drinking in our population of students, despite some likely under-reporting of drinking. Self-reporting of drinking is commonly unreliable, and we found no significant correlation between the CDT concentrations in serum and the magnitude of self-reported alcohol use during 2-week and 6-month periods. Hangover was by far the commonest self-reported untoward event, and there was a highly significant relationship (P < 0.001) between drinking and untoward events. From a small population of non-drinkers, we estimated the reference ranges for CDT to be <27 U/l for men and <35 U/l for women.
