| BERLIN -- Nearly six months after sustaining serious head injuries in a skiing accident, seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher left a French hospital on Monday and was transferred to neighbouring Switzerland to continue his recovery. Schumacher "is not in a coma anymore," his manager, Sabine Kehm, said in a brief statement announcing that the German driver had left the Grenoble University Hospital, where he had been treated since his accident Dec. 29. Kehm gave no further details of his condition or medical outlook, saying only that he would "continue his long phase of rehabilitation." Schumacher left the Grenoble hospital Monday morning, said hospital spokeswoman Brigitte Polikar, who declined to give any details on his condition. He was transferred to the Lausanne University Hospital, near the Schumacher familys Swiss home. Hospital spokesman Darcy Christen confirmed the 45-year-old German was admitted but stressed that the facility wants "to ensure that he and his family fully enjoy privacy and medical confidentiality." Schumachers accident happened on a family vacation as Schumacher was skiing with his 14-year-old son at the Meribel ski resort in the French Alps. He hit the right side of his head on a rock, cracking his helmet. Doctors operated to remove blood clots from his brain, but some were left because they were too deeply embedded. Schumachers condition stabilized after he was placed in a drug-induced coma. In late January, doctors began the process of withdrawing sedatives to try to wake him up. Over recent months, little information has been released on Schumachers condition. Mondays announcement was the first substantial update since Kehm said in early April that Schumacher "shows moments of consciousness and awakening." The family "would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months," Kehms latest statement said. "The family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes. ... We are sure it helped him," it added. "For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye," it added. Much remains unclear about Schumachers future as well as the length and extent of his recovery. "If hes been released from the hospital he was in, it means hes able to support his own breathing and bodily functions," said Dr. Tipu Aziz, a professor of neurosurgery at Oxford Universitys John Radcliffe Hospital. The fact that Schumacher is going into rehabilitation "suggests theres been long-term side effects of his injury," he added. "With rehabilitation, theyll try to train him to cope with the disabilities that hes got to achieve as much life function as possible," Aziz said. "If hes had a brain injury, he may have weakness in his limbs secondary to loss of brain function. He may have problems with speech and swallowing." He said that "rehabilitation would probably take a good few months" but noted that Schumacher was an athlete before his accident "so was in good shape." Schumacher earned universal acclaim for his uncommon and sometimes ruthless driving talent, which led to a record 91 race wins. He retired from F1 racing in 2012 after an unmatched seven world titles. The Mercedes team, for which Schumacher raced in the last three years of his career, posted on Twitter: "Encouraging news on Michaels condition this morning. We couldnt ask for a better start to the week." That was echoed by former world champion and Schumacher rival Fernando Alonso, who tweeted: "Good start of the week with the news of Michael! So happy this is going in the good direction!" Germany midfielder Lukas Podolski also took to Twitter hours before his teams opening World Cup match, writing: "What a great news!!!

Adidas ZX 700 Black . - The New England Patriots have released safety Steve Gregory.PHOENIX - The number of recorded concussions dropped 25 per cent during the regular season, according to the NFL, even as injury reporting and trips to injured reserve list rose overall.Data released by the league Thursday shows there were 111 concussions in games during the 2014 regular season, down from 148 in 2013, and 173 in 2012, a 36 per cent drop over that three-year span.This follows repeated changes by the NFL meant to cut down on blows to the head, including reduced practice time and rules protecting defenceless receivers and barring leading with the crown of the helmet.It would have been nice if we had started this in 1930, but we didnt, said San Francisco 49ers chairman John York, who leads the owners health and safety committee. And as things came to our attention, we took more interest in looking at these questions.When preseason games, plus preseason and regular-season practices, are included, the 202 concussions this season declined 12 per cent from 2013, and 23 per cent from 2012. Thats despite no new rules meant to protect players heads.Players are changing the way theyre tackling, NFL Senior Vice-President of Health and Safety Policy Jeff Miller said. Theyre changing the way they play the game.Addressing two other areas of player health, Miller said that as concussions have gone down, We have not seen a correlation with an increase of knee injuries, at all, and that for the fourth consecutive year, injuries on Thursdays are no greater than they are on Sunday and Monday.In all, the concussion rate is down to 0.43 per game, Miller said, adding: You have to play morre than two games to get a concussion in the NFL, by those numbers.dddddddddddd total of 59 concussions were caused by helmet-to-helmet or shoulder-to-helmet hits this season, the leagues data says, almost exactly half as many as two years ago.With all the technological innovations that weve had over the past few years, Im surprised the numbers keep going down, St. Louis Rams team doctor Matthew Matava said. Because youd think, with more vigilance, youd see more of any sort of condition.According to STATS, there were 265 players placed on injured reserve during the regular season in 2014, a 17 per cent jump from the 226 the year before.This season, for the first time, NFL injury data was collected by all 32 teams thical records, allowing for more comprehensive accounting. That system does a better job of capturing all injuries — from a bruise, say, to a broken leg — according to Christina Mack, an epidemiologist at Quintiles, a clinical research organization that works with the league.One change is that less-severe injuries, such as a first-degree sprain, are captured more frequently now, she said. Something worse, such as a concussion or torn knee ligament, is just as likely to have been reported under the old setup.A 15 per cent hike in injury reporting from 2013 to 2014 — an increase of about 0.9 per game, on average — is at least in part due to the new system, according to Mack.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
