Trunk muscle fatigue during a lateral isometric hold
test: what are we evaluating?
Conclusions:
Although the fatigue indices suggest that the ipsilateral external oblique and contralateral L5erector spinae show signs of muscle fatigue, this task seems to recruit a large group of trunkmuscles. Clinicians should not view this task as evaluating specifically lateral trunk flexors,but rather as providing an indication of the general endurance and stabilisation capacity of thetrunk.

Clinical Outcomes of Recipients With Aplastic Bone Disease After Renal Transplantation
Conclusions:
Bone metabolism in patients with aplastic ROD histologically improved at 1 year after RTx, presumably due to good renal transplant function. However, it is unknown whether both hypophosphatemia and decrease of FGF-23 improved bone However, patients with aplastic ROD were not completely normalized histologically at 1 year after RTx.

'My food is really emotional' | Heston Blumenthal
His cooking is a famously multi-sensory experience. But Heston Blumenthal says he is no longer a temperature-obsessed workaholic, and hopes his Olympic-themed airline meals prove itWith his oversized glasses, closely cropped cranium and faintly mechanical gait, there is something of the Brains from Thunderbirds about Heston Blumenthal. And like Gerry Anderson's puppet, the celebrated proprietor of the Michelin-starred restaurant the Fat Duck radiates an obsession with scientific discovery."A counsellor friend of mine did say that I might be ADD," admits the 45-year-old. "I said, 'If I'm ADD then how can I have spent so much time and effort day in day out for so many years?' He replied, 'That's classic ADD. You have no patience for most things and then you find something you like and y...

Absence of low back pain in patients followed weekly over one year with automated text messages
Conclusions:
The vast majority of these secondary care sector patients had a profile of more or less constant LBP. The estimates for non-episodes during the study period and at the end of the study were very similar for participants with LBP who also had Modic changes and those with non-specific LBP. It is possible that a definition of pain-free periods is pointless in patients seeking care in the secondary care sector. (Source: Chiropractic and Osteopathy)

Adverse events from spinal manipulation in the pregnant and postpartum periods: a critical review of the literature
Conclusions:
There are only a few reported cases of adverse events following spinal manipulation during pregnancy and the postpartum period identified in the literature. While improved reporting of such events is required in the future, it may be that such injuries are relatively rare. (Source: Chiropractic and Osteopathy)

A randomized, placebo-controlled double-blinded comparative clinical study of five over-the-counter non-pharmacological topical analgesics for myofascial pain: single session findings
Conclusions:
With regards to pressure threshold, PTMC roll-on, BG and MM showed significant increases in pain threshold tolerance after a short-term application on a trigger points located in the trapezius muscle. PTMC roll-on and BG were both shown to be superior vs placebo while PTMC was also shown to be superior to IH in patients with trigger points located in the trapezius muscle on a single application.

Clinical decision-making to facilitate appropriate patient management in chiropractic practice: 'the 3-questions model'
DiscussionThis paper explores the concept and elements of defensive problem-solving practice, with a view to developing a model of agile, pragmatic decision-making amenable to real-world application. A theoretical framework that reflects the elements of this approach will be offered in order to validate the potential of a so called '3-Questions Model';SummaryClinical decision-making is considered to be a key characteristic of any modern healthcare practitioner. It is, thus, prudent for chiropractors to re-visit the concept of defensible practice with a view to facilitate capable clinical decision-making and competent patient examination skills. In turn, the perception of competence and trustworthiness of chiropractors within the wider healthcare community helps integration of chiropractic ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: an overview for manual therapists
Conclusion: Methicillin-resistant S aureus is a health risk in the community and to patients and athletes treated by manual therapists. Manual practitioners can play an essential role in recognizing MRSA infections and helping to control its transmission in the health care environment and the community.

Reporting new developments in sacroiliac imaging and lymphatic pump techniques
Pain perceived in the sacroiliac region is common in patients presenting to osteopaths. A range of hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of this pain and a variety of physical examination tests devised to identify relevant clinical dysfunction or injury. Physical examination of the SIJ can be broadly considered in two categories: (1) examination procedures that are intended to reproduce a patient?s familiar symptoms (?provocation tests?); and (2) procedures intended to detect joint dysfunction. Textbooks in osteopathy have tended to focus on evaluating the SIJ from the perspective of somatic dysfunction (rather than symptom reproduction) and describe the use of palpation and motion testing to evaluate joint range of motion, perceived quality of movement, tissue texture ...

Burnout among chiropractic practitioners: real or imagined. An exploratory study protocol.
Burnout is a psychological syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment that has been found to exist in a significant number of healthcare and helping professionals. It imposes a significant societal burden by shortened practitioner lifespan, decreased efficiency, negative health outcomes and poorer levels of patient care. Theoretical models suggest that it appears to be the result of a complex interaction between job resources and job demands. It may be reasonable to conclude that Chiropractic professionals experience similar vocational demands and thus experience significant levels of occupational stress and subsequent burnout. However the data on burnout within the chiropractic profession is limited. It is possible that this results in signific...

The role of chiropractic care in older adults
There are a rising number of older adults; in the US alone nearly 20% of the population will be 65 or older by 2030. Chiropractic is one of the most frequently utilized types of complementary and alternative care by older adults, used by an estimated 5% of older adults in the U.S. annually. Chiropractic care involves many different types of interventions, including preventive strategies. This commentary by experts in the field of geriatrics, discusses the evidence for the use of spinal manipulative therapy, acupuncture, nutritional counseling and fall prevention strategies as delivered by doctors of chiropractic. Given the utilization of chiropractic services by the older adult, it is imperative that providers be familiar with the evidence for and the prudent use of different management st...

A pilot study to compare the views of traditionally trained and CAM-trained therapists using the clinical exemplar of the management of neck/upper limb pain to assess barriers to effective integration of approaches.
CONCLUSION: The Beliefs about Risks and Benefits of Treatments Questionnaire can be applied using a postal approach and achieves similar response rates to other surveys amongst healthcare practitioners. Despite widespread agreement that increased integration of traditional and alternative approaches is desirable, the results of this study suggest that experienced practitioners show the strongest belief in the benefit of approaches closest to their own training and background and the most wariness of risk to those therapies furthest from their background.

[Osteopathic medicine].
Authors: Tempelhof S
Abstract
Osteopathic medicine is a healing modality applied with the doctor's two hands that is similar to but goes far beyond the Manual medicine/chirotherapy which is well known in Germany. Founded in 1874 by Dr. A.T. Still in Kirksville, Missouri in the USA, osteopathic medicine is in addition to the M.D. degree in allopathic medicine a fully accepted and regulated medical profession ending in the granting of the D.O. (doctor of osteopathic medicine) degree. In 2009 the German Medical Council presented a position paper on osteopathy and osteopathic medicine which has ignited controversial discussions about the possible integration of this modality into the German medical health care system. There is currently an enormous interest in osteopathy and osteopathi...
