The Camanachd Association says it's disappointed a vote went against compulsory headgear for seniors.
Following the vote, the association said: "This was a disappointing result and leaves senior players who choose to sign the helmet opt out vulnerable to head injuries."It said: "We are pleased that this proposal passed and will be in effect from season 2023 with over 75% of clubs voting in favour.
"The Camanachd Association warmly welcome this change as we enhance the health and safety of our young members."It is the latest measure to be taken in Scottish sport to try and protect participants from the risk of head injuries. Earlier this week, it was announced professional footballers in Scotland are to be banned from heading the ball in trainingClubs are also being told to limit exercises that involve repetitive heading to one session per week.Experts believe there could be a link to repetitive heading of the ball.
The Scottish Football Association already has guidelines in place limiting heading in youth football, with a ban on headers in training for the under-12 age group. Scotland was also the first country in the world to have a single set of concussion guidelines for all sports, with the "If in doubt, sit them out" campaign.

Plant-based dietary patterns defined by a priori indices and colorectal cancer risk by sex and race/ethnicity: the Multiethnic Cohort Study - BMC MedicineBackground Plant-based diets assessed by a priori indices are associated with health outcomes. This study investigated the associations between pre-defined indices of plant-based diets and risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) and evaluated whether the association varies by sex, race and ethnicity, and anatomic subsite of tumors. Methods A total of 79,952 men and 93,475 women who participated in the Multiethnic Cohort Study were included. Primary outcome was incidence of invasive CRC. Cox models were used to estimate the risk of CRC across quintiles of three plant-based diet scores: overall plant-based diet index (PDI), healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI), and unhealthful plant-based diet index (uPDI). Results During a mean follow-up of 19.2 years, 4976 incident CRC were identified. Among men, multivariable-adjusted HR (95% CI) for the highest vs. lowest quintiles was 0.77 (0.67–0.88) for PDI, and 0.80 (0.70–0.91) for hPDI, while no significant association was found for uPDI among men and for all indices among women. In men, the inverse association for PDI was stronger in Japanese American, Native Hawaiian, and White groups than African American or Latino group (P for heterogeneity = 0.01) and for left colon and rectal tumors than right tumors (P for heterogeneity = 0.005), whereas the decreased risk with hPDI was found consistently across racial and ethnic groups and subsites. Conclusions Greater adherence to plant-based diets rich in healthy plant foods and low in less healthy plant foods is associated with a reduced risk of CRC in men, but not in women. The strength of the association among men may vary by race and ethnicity and anatomic subsite of tumors.

How to Mitigate Risk of COVID, Flu and RSV This Holiday SeasonBetween COVID-19, the flu and RSV, doctors worry that we could be facing a triple threat of infections this holiday season. The rise in respiratory viruses comes as new immune-evading COVID-19 subvariants take over and amid concerns about hospital capacity and staffing shortages. One recent report by the Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association estimates that the state’s hospitals are short nearly 20,000 workers. Tufts…
