Abstract

Introduction: For many years routine screening of athletes in Israel includes frequently performed ECGs and exercise tests that overload the system with questionable benefits. The purpose of the current document is to reevaluate the need for pre-participation testing and establish new evidence-based guidelines. It should be noted that our proposal for a change of approach relates only to subjects whose health questionnaire is normal, who do not have a family history of sudden and unexpected death at an early age, or a family history of hereditary heart disease and whose physical examination from a cardiovascular point of view is normal.

Abstract

Sjögren's syndrome is commonly presented with eye and mouth dryness caused by an autoimmune destruction of lacrimal and salivary glands. Kidney involvement is not common but may appear in patients with long standing disease. We present a patient with Sjögren's syndrome whose first manifestation of the disease was related to type 1 renal tubular acidosis (RTA) causing severe hypokalemia with lower limb paralysis. The uneven distribution of limb weakness necessitated the exclusion of cord compression.
