Determining the presence of a cam or pincer hip structure can be confidently used as a sole criterion to diagnose FAI in athletes/patients. 

With reference to the Munich Consensus Statement, match the following types of functional muscle disorders with their corresponding location of clinical signs. 

SCENARIO: A 20-year-old Olympic female ice hockey athlete reports to you complaining of left groin and hip pain.  History She tells you that the pain has gradually become worse over the course of a month. She does not recall a specific mechanism of injury. Physical activity, especially intensive effort skating during practices, exacerbates her pain. She has also noticed that sitting for prolonged periods tends to aggravate her pain, especially when cycling. She did not make any substantial changes to her training regimen before experiencing this pain. Her primary complaint is pain that she describes as deep and spans along the anterior and lateral aspect of her hip. She reports that the pain periodically extends to her low back. However, she does not complain of any abnormal sensations other than an infrequent clicking when in deep positions of hip flexion, adduction, and internal rotation. After one week of persistent pain, she sought treatment from a massage therapist who performed trigger-point release and prescribed routine stretching of her hip flexors and adductors. This and taking a week off from training/practicing seemed to improve her condition. However, the pain resurfaced almost immediately after resuming training and practicing. She habitually ices her hip and groin or does a cryotherapy bath after each training/practice session but this has not significantly helped. Over the last two weeks she has elevated her use of OTC NSAIDs to help manage her pain, particularly with heavy training bouts.   She recalls suffering from a femoral stress fracture a few years ago. However, she does not recall what that specific diagnosis was.  AT RESPONSE: What relevant objective evaluation processes will you perform to differentiate between these conditions and (possibly) determine its severity? DIRECTIONS: Use a standard format in arranging your response. Bullet your individual text entries. Your entries must be concise, specific, and accurate. Your entries must include correct spelling.  You may (and are encouraged) to use common abbreviations and acronyms linked to anatomical and medical terminology when appropriate. When listing structural/stress tests, it is expected that you will also list the conditions they are indicated for.

Nia Lion is a vice president in a federal contract review office located in northern Virginia. She has final approval and authorization of reconstruction bids in southern Ukraine. Lion has agreed to accept a bribe of $250,000 to make certain that Bonkers Construction receives the contract for building a new community center and apartment housing in the region. This contract is worth several million dollars.  In anticipation of the bribe, Lion has set up a new company, Money Marketing, LLC, a shell company with a company bank account. She is the sole owner of the company, which is registered in an island nation. She owns shares in Your Marketing LLC, a small marketing company registered in Virginia (United States). She has operated the marking company with the help of a relative over the past few years. Lion checked the operating agreement for Your Marketing so closely look at the fine print. There are no restrictions that would prevent her from selling her shares to an outsider in a non-public offering of these shares.  Bonkers Construction gets the Ukraine contract and Lion tells Bonkers to invoice Money Marketing for $250,000 and deposit the money in the company bank’s account (located in an Caribbean island nation). From there Lion uses the money to buy out her shares in Your Marketing. The purchase price is $250,000. The relative indicates that he will go along with the scheme for a $25,000 payment. A salary increase of $25,000 is processed. The sale documents are signed and money is moved from Money Marketing’s account to Lion’s personal bank account. It is transferred in 10 payments of $25,000 over six months. Although she realizes that the bank deposits may require the bank to report the transactions, she believes the sale documents will provide sufficient documentation.  Identify for me if money laundering is going on with this case. If so, please map each stage of money laundering to the case above. If not, please tell me why this would not apply to these facts.
