Abstract:

Osteopathic physician (D.O.) residency programs that do not achieve accreditation under the new Single Accreditation System (SAS) standards by June 30, 2020 will lose access to their share of more than $9,000,000,000 of public tax dollars. This U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) funding helps sponsoring institutions cover direct and indirect resident physician training expenses. A significant financial burden would then be shifted to marginal costs of the residency program’s sponsoring institution in the absence of CMS funding. The sponsoring institution’s ability or willingness to bare these costs occurs during a time when hospital operating margins are at historic lows (Advisory.com /Daily Briefing /May 18, 2017 | The Daily Briefing / Hospital profit margins declined from 2015 to 2016, Moody's finds). Loss of access to CMS funding may result in potentially cataclysmic reductions in the production and availability of primary care physicians for rural and urban underserved populations. Which osteopathic residency programs will be able to survive the new accreditation requirement changes by the 2020 deadline? What are some of the defining attributes of those programs that already have achieved “initial accreditation” under the new SAS requirements? How can the osteopathic programs in the process of seeking the new accreditation more effectively “pivot” by learning from those programs that have succeeded? What are the potential implications of SAS to both access and quality of health care to millions of Americans? This report is based upon a study that examined and measured how osteopathic physician residency programs in the U.S. are accommodating the substantive structural, financial, political and clinical requirements approximately half way through a five-year adaptation period. In 2014, US Graduate Medical Education (GME) physician program accreditation systems formally agreed to operate under a single accreditation system for all osteopathic (D.O) and allopathic (M.D.) programs in the U.S. Since July 1, 2015, the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) accredited training programs have been eligible to apply for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accreditation. This agreement to create a Single Accreditation System (SAS) was consummated among the AOA, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) and ACGME with a memorandum of understanding. As this research is published, the ACGME is transitioning to be the single accreditor for all US GME programs by June 30, 2020. At that time, the AOA would fully relinquish all its GME program accreditation responsibilities. The new SAS operates under published ACGME guidelines and governance. Business policy and health care resource allocation question motivated this research. Failure of osteopathic programs to “pivot” to the new standards could result in fewer licensed physicians being produced in the high demand primary care field. Potential workforce shortage areas include urban and especially rural populations (CRS Report 7-5700 R44376 Feb 12, 2016). Large physician shortages already have been projected to care for a rapidly aging US population without considering the impact of the GME accreditation changes currently underway (Association of American Medical Colleges 2017 Key Findings report www.aamc.org/2017projections). The goal of this research is to provide osteopathic GME programs practical insights into characteristics of a sample of osteopathic GME programs that have successfully made the “pivot” into SAS requirements and been accredited by ACGME and those that have not. The study seeks to better understand the experiences, decisions, challenges and expectations directly from osteopathic programs directors as they strive to meet the realities of the new SAS requirements. Do programs that are already accredited differ significantly from those that have not? How do characteristics such as program size, geographic locations, clinical program components, program sponsor structure, number and experience of faculty and administration, cost planning and perceived benefits of the movement to SAS factor into successfully meeting the new requirements before the 2020 closing date? A cross-sectional research survey was designed, tested and deployed to a national sample of currently serving osteopathic GME program directors. The survey elicited data about each program’s “pivot” from AOA GME accreditation practices and guidelines to the new Single Accreditation System (SAS). The survey instrument was designed to obtain information about patterns in osteopathic GME program curricula, administrative support functions, faculty training, compliance requirements and program director characteristics shared by those programs that have been granted “initial accreditation” by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) who administer SAS. Thirty five (35) osteopathic GME program directors responded to the 26 question survey in June 2017. Descriptive statistics were applied and central tendency measures determined. The majority of survey respondents were Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.s) from specialty residency programs sponsoring an average of 16 residents. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest.)

Full text

Abstract:

Summary: The FRAX algorithm assesses the patient’s probability of sustaining an osteoporotic fracture and can be calculated with or without densitometric data. This study seeks to determine whether in men, FRAX scores calculated without BMD, correctly identify patients with BMD-defined osteoporosis. Introduction: The diagnosis of osteoporosis is based on densitometric data, the presence of a fragility fracture or increased fracture risk. The FRAX algorithm estimates the patient’s 10-year probability of sustaining an osteoporotic fracture and can be calculated with or without BMD data. The purpose of this study is to determine whether in men, FRAX calculated without BMD, can correctly identify patients with BMD-defined osteoporosis. Methods: Retrospectively retrieved data from 726 consecutive Caucasian males, 50 to 70 years old referred to our Osteoporosis Center. Results: In the population studied, 11.8 and 25.3% had BMD-defined osteoporosis when female and male reference populations were used respectively. When the National Osteoporosis Foundation thresholds to initiate treatment are used, only 27% of patients with BMD-defined osteoporosis, but 4% with normal BMD reached/exceeded these thresholds. Lowering the threshold increased sensitivity, but decreased specificity. Conclusions: Our results suggest that FRAX without BMD is not sensitive/specific enough to be used to identify Caucasian men 50 to 70 years old with BMD-defined osteoporosis.

Abstract:

This pre-conference workshop is designed to provide a foundation in osteopathic principles and practice and basic skills in osteopathic diagnosis and manipulative treatment for medical students, residents and family medicine faculty with little to no training in osteopathic medicine. It is also an excellent opportunity for doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) to refresh their skills. Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: Understand the four tenets of osteopathic medicine and their applicability to allopathic as well as osteopathic medicine. Demonstrate the basic osteopathic assessment and treatment of 3–4 common diagnoses that present in outpatient and inpatient family medicine settings. Produce an outline of a training curriculum in osteopathic assessment and treatment for non-DOs within his/her own program using the tools provided by the workshop.

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this research was to compare quantifiable structural asymmetry to changes visualized in center of pressure (CoP) and/or postural sway by the use of an Isobalance forceplate in order to introduce principles of osteopathic medicine to a Latin America culture. Osteopathic manual medicine (OMM) was used to correct structural dysfunction found in the study participants at the Baxter Institute in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Study participants were students and staff members ranging in age from 18 to 35 and consisting of 24 males and two females. The examination period lasted a total of five weeks. During weeks one, three, and five, baseline measurements were taken prior to manipulation using .05 alpha to test significance. Measurements were repeated post OMM. An educational video was provided during each session. Pretest and posttest results demonstrated an improvement in understanding of OMM materials provided to participants. A bivariable chi-square test found that, when manipulated, those with sacrum dysfunction have an association with a positive improvement in postural sway (TIC 1 & 2) (p<.05). Also, the multivariable logistic regression model found that individuals who had no initial change in postural sway (TIC 1 & 2) were more likely to move to a positive improvement of time in the center of the premeasured diameter calculated by the Isobalance forceplate, than a decrease in time spent in the center (i.e. negative improvement) throughout the time of the study (p<.05).

Abstract:

This thesis examines the extent to which the development of expertise in diagnostic palpation in osteopathic medicine is associated with changes in cognitive processing. Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 review, respectively, the literature on the role of analytical and non-analytical processing in osteopathic and medical clinical decision making; and the relevant research on the use of vision and haptics and the development of expertise within the context of an osteopathic clinical examination. The two studies reported in Chapter 4 examined the mental representation of knowledge and the role of analogical reasoning in osteopathic clinical decision making. The results reported there demonstrate that the development of expertise in osteopathic medicine is associated with the processes of knowledge encapsulation and script formation. The four studies reported in Chapters 5 and 6 investigate the way in which expert osteopaths use their visual and haptic systems in the diagnosis of somatic dysfunction. The results suggest that ongoing clinical practice enables osteopaths to combine visual and haptic sensory signals in a more efficient manner. Such visuo-haptic sensory integration is likely to be facilitated by top-down processing associated with visual, tactile, and kinaesthetic mental imagery. Taken together, the results of the six studies reported in this thesis indicate that the development of expertise in diagnostic palpation in osteopathic medicine is associated with changes in cognitive processing. Whereas the experts’ diagnostic judgments are heavily influenced by top-down, non-analytical processing; students rely, primarily, on bottom-up sensory processing from vision and haptics. Ongoing training and clinical practice are likely to lead to changes in the clinician’s neurocognitive architecture. This thesis proposes an original model of expertise in diagnostic palpation which has implications for osteopathic education. Students and clinicians should be encouraged to appraise the reliability of different sensory cues in the context of clinical examination, combine sensory data from different channels, and consider using both analytical and nonanalytical reasoning in their decision making. Importantly, they should develop their skills of criticality and their ability to reflect on, and analyse their practice experiences in and on action.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the co-optation of the heterodox medical system of osteopathic medicine by the hegemonic medical system of biomedicine and its impact on the practice of osteopathic medicine in America. The study particularly explored students (n=20), practitioners (n=5), and faculty (n=5) regarding their views of osteopathic medicine. The process of professionalization of osteopathic medicine has caused DOs to become more akin to MDs, which may have led to an identity crisis within the profession. This case study took place at a private osteopathic medical school in the Southeastern U.S. A content analysis of the interviews, direct observations, and curriculum analysis was conducted to answer the qualitative research questions in this study. The qualitative research questions required in-depth interviews, direct observation, survey questionnaires and analysis of curriculum.

Full text

Abstract:

Previous research had shown that experiences of treatments vary between NHS and private practice. It was unclear whether different treatments might vary in the same or in different ways between healthcare sectors. This thesis explored how experiences of physiotherapy and osteopathy vary between NHS and private settings. Study 1: A systematic review of the literature identified psychosocial factors which are likely to be important within physiotherapy for lower back pain. Study 2: A qualitative interview study explored the experiences and appraisals of 35 patients who had received NHS or private physiotherapy or osteopathy for lower back pain. This study indicated that physiotherapy and osteopathy do not vary in the same ways between healthcare sectors. Study 3 and 4: Mixed methods were used to develop and establish the face validity, internal consistency and structural validity of a new measure of treatment appraisal, the Appraisals of Physical Treatments Questionnaire (APTQ). Study 5: The APTQ and other measures of treatment appraisal were then examined in a cross-sectional questionnaire study (n=91) which explored how and to what extent aspects of treatment appraisal vary between healthcare sectors and treatment types. There were ceiling effects in many of the measures, although some aspects of treatment appraisal varied in ways which were consistent, or partially consistent, with the hypotheses. Study 6: Finally, study 6 looked at practitioners’ (physiotherapists’ and osteopaths’) experiences of treating lower back pain in the NHS and private practice. Practitioners’ reports largely confirmed those of patients, indicating that physiotherapy and osteopathy do not vary in the same ways between healthcare sectors. Factors that might be responsible for the differences in patients’ experiences of NHS and private physiotherapy and osteopathy were also identified and organised into a model. Physiotherapy and osteopathy did not appear to vary in the same ways between healthcare sectors, indicating that the healthcare sector might not have a uniform influence on treatments.

Full text

Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is the lived experience of training in non-orthodox health care professions1 or CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) as it is commonly known. The thesis focuses both on the nature of the knowledge and skills acquired during training (knowledge of the body) and the changing embodiment of the students (embodying knowledge). It is based on ethnographic research, conducted over one academic year, at two case-study sites: the anonymized Colleges of Homeopathy and Osteopathy. The data presented in this thesis offers four distinct contributions. Methodologically, it offers insights into the embodied experience of conducting sociological research and the deep impact that this experience has on the researcher, further supporting the argument that reflexivity is a vital component of valid and reliable research. Empirically, it contributes to our understanding of an under-researched area, the ?Tactice of CAM therapies generally, and the training of practitioners particularly. Theoretically, the explicit focus of both the participants in the study .and myself, as researcher, on 'bodies' makes it a worthwhile topic of study to contribute to the growing discipline of embodied sociology. Finally, from a social policy perspective, the explosion of interest in CAM in recent years, and particularly the growing pressure on practitioners to regulate their professions, makes research into the nature of professional knowledge and practice very timely. The thesis concludes that it is of critical importance to consider embodiment in any understanding of healthcare knowledge or practice. In particular, an embodied sociological perspective permits recognition of the depth and nature of the knowledge and skills that healthcare practitioners learn to deploy on a day-to-day basis.

Abstract:

Estudos revelam uma prevalência do refluxo gastroesofágico (RGE) em bebês no Brasil entorno de 11,5% a 18,2%, semelhante aos dados internacionais, trazendo sintomas que podem se perpetuar até a infância e adolescência. Os protocolos de tratamento atuais são em resumo medicamentosos. Poucos estudos referem evidências sobre terapias complementares no tratamento do refluxo. A osteopatia poderia ser utilizada neste contexto para tratar as causas do refluxo, porém, estudos que determinem Protocolos Osteopáticos de Tratamento (POT) são limitados e não são específicos para este diagnóstico. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a aplicação de um POT desenvolvido para bebês de zero a um ano através de um método quantitativo. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo longitudinal com 59 bebês com idade entre zero e um ano de idade diagnosticados com refluxo e em tratamento medicamentoso. Inicialmente todos foram avaliados com o questionário I-GERQ-R. Trinta e três crianças foram selecionadas para o grupo A, que foi submetido ao POT em paralelo ao tratamento farmacológico, ou durante dois meses ou até atingir um score mínimo no questionário, o que ocorresse primeiro. O grupo B foi acompanhado pelo mesmo período, sendo reavaliado após dois meses. Foram analisados os dados coletados do questionário e os sintomas associados de cólica e tosse. No grupo A, a média inicial do score I-GERQ-R foi de 14,57 ±3,65 e a final 1,39 ±2,09 pontos (p=0,001). No grupo B estes valores foram respectivamente 17,23 ±4,78 e 8,46 ±7,41, caracterizando uma permanência do grupo B no diagnóstico de refluxo (escore>7) apesar da melhora com significância estatística (p=0,043). No grupo A 13 indivíduos chegaram ao escore final zero (“0”), enquanto que no grupo B nenhum indivíduo atingiu este escore. A redução da prevalência no uso de medicação ao final do estudo no grupo A foi de 75,76% enquanto que no grupo B esta redução foi de 11,54%. A melhora no grupo A ocorreu em um tempo médio de 28,76 ± 11,43 dias, independente da idade, onde o número médio de sessões foi 3,91 ±0,80. O sintoma de vômito apresentou melhora significativa no grupo A (p=0,001) mas não no grupo B (p=0,063). O sintoma de azia apresentou uma melhora significativa em ambos os grupos A e B (p=0,001 e p=0,002 respectivamente), bem como o soluço (p=0,001 e p=0,001 respectivamente). O sintoma de choro apresentou melhora significativa para o grupo A (p=0,001), porém não para o grupo B (P=0,123). Da mesma forma, os episódios de engasgos apresentaram redução estatisticamente significativa no grupo A (p=0,001) e não no grupo B (p=0,105). A tosse no grupo A foi reduzida em 94,45% (p=0,001) e a cólica em 75% (p=0,001). No grupo B a tosse permaneceu com a mesma incidência (14 casos) (p=1,000) e o sintoma de cólica aumentou 88,89% (de nove para 17 casos) (p=0,008). Conclui-se, portanto, que o POT proposto se mostrou eficaz na redução dos sintomas do refluxo em bebês e sintomas de tosse e cólica associados, em um tempo aproximado de 29 dias a níveis próximos à zero, tempo inferior ao descrito na literatura. Entende-se que o protocolo tenha atingido os mecanismos de causa do RGE, e, portanto a associação do POT com o tratamento medicação pode ser sugerido na abordagem do RGE em bebês de zero a um ano de idade.
The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants in Brazil is about 11.5% to 18,2%, similar to international data, bringing symptoms that can be perpetuated into childhood and adolescence. Current treatment protocols are medicated summary, and few studies have reported evidence for complementary therapies in the treatment of reflux. Osteopathy could be used in this context to treat the causes of reflux, however, studies evaluating Osteopathic Protocols Treatments (OPT) are limited and are not specific for this diagnosis. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the application of a OPT developed for infants less than one year through a quantitative method. A longitudinal descriptive study of 59 babies aged under one year of age diagnosed with reflux and in a drug treatment was performed. Initially all were evaluated with I-GERQ-R questionnaire. Thirty- three children were selected for group A, which was submitted to OPT parallel to pharmacological treatment for two months or until it reaches a minimum score on the questionnaire, whichever came first. Group B was accompanied by the same period of two months and after that being re-evaluated. Data collected from the questionnaire and the associated symptoms of colic and cough were analyzed. In group A, the initial average score I-GERQ-R was 14.57 ±3.65 and 1.39 ±2.09 points at the end (p = 0.001). In group B these values were 17.23 ±4.78 and 8.46 ±7.41 points, featuring a stay of group B in the diagnosis of reflux (score>7) despite improvement with statistical significance (p = 0.043). In group A, 13 subjects reached the final score zero ("0"), while in group B no individual reached this score. Reduced use of medication in group A was 75.76% while in group B this reduction was only 11.54%. The improvement in group A occurred at a mean time of 28.76 ±11.43 days, regardless of age, where the average number of sessions was 3.91 ±0.80. The symptom of vomiting improved significantly in group A (p = 0.001) but not in group B (p = 0.063). The symptom of heartburn showed a significant improvement in both groups A and B (p = 0.001 and p = 0.002 respectively), as well as hiccup (p = 0.001 and p = 0.001 respectively). The symptom of crying showed significant improvement in group A (p = 0.001), but not for group B (P = 0.123). Likewise, choking episodes exhibited statistically significant reduction in group A (p = 0.001) and not in group B (p = 0.105). Coughing in the group A was reduced by 94.75% (p=0,001) and 75% in colic (p=0,001). In group B the cough remained with the same incidence (14 cases) (p=1,000) and colic increased significantly from nine to 17 cases (p=0,008). Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed OPT was effective in reducing symptoms of reflux in infants and symptoms of cough and colic associated in an approximate 29 days to levels close to zero, time lower than that described in the literature. It is understood that the protocol has reached the causal mechanisms of GER, and therefore the association of OPT with a medication treatment may be suggested in the approach of GER in infants less than one year old.

Abstract:

Exercise based interventions are common in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. These interventions have been investigated in other manual therapy disciplines, but little empirical data exists about. osteopathic approaches to exercise. There is a need to examine the role of exercise in osteopathic undergraduate education and the osteopathic treatment and management of patients in order to identify, clarify and develop upon educational and professional needs of the practising osteopath. The aims of this thesis were to explore the integration of exercise therapy in the undergraduate osteopathic curriculum, gain an understanding of the interpretation and uses of exercise therapy in osteopathic practice and explore potential concordance between education and practice. To provide context for the studies in the thesis, preparatory work included . examining the historical and philosophical developments within osteopathy and the utilisation of exercise therapy and physical activity in wider health care provision. Curriculum evaluation of the intended (content analysis of course documents) delivered (faculty member perspective) and received (student perspective) undergraduate osteopathic curricula revealed the idiosyncratic and sporadic nature of documented and delivered exercise content. The intended curriculum was seen to pertain to academic education whilst the delivered and received curriculum was reflective of clinical education. There was evidence of shared desires from osteopathic students and faculty members who suggested that they would welcome a standardised, experiential, patient centred approach to exercise therapy. The interview study with practitioners revealed a patient centred approach to the use of exercise therapy. However there remains some confusion over the use and understanding of exercise terminology. Paradoxically with the stated patient centred approaches practitioners expressed exercise delivery using paternalistic language. Favoured modes of exercise showed common trends with other manual therapies such as the use of 'core stability' programmes, but bore little resemblance to those delivered during undergraduate education. Exercise therapy and its potential for use is a substantial issue for osteopaths and for education providers in the UK. There is some dissonance between clinicians reported patient centred care approaches and actual delivery of exercise advice. Exercise education in osteopathy and clinical practice are not concordant and clinical aspects of undergraduate education are not documented clearly and are largely opportunistic. There is a need for further consensus about the role of exercise therapy in osteopathic practice and this should be a driver for a more coherent approach across education and practice.

Abstract:

Ce travail de thèse porte sur des études de la cinématique 3D de la colonne cervicale in vivo chez des sujets asymptomatiques (N=30); il se divise en quatre parties. La colonne cervicale de tous les sujets est reconstruite en 3D à partir des images de tomodensitométrie dans différentes positions :position neutre, rotation axiale gauche et droite et lors du positionnement pré-manipulatif de la tête.

La première partie de ce travail a comme objectif fondamental de déterminer la cinématique 3D inter-segmentaire de la colonne cervicale, lors de la rotation axiale maximale de la tête. Les valeurs déterminées pour tous les paramètres cinématiques 3D vont nous servir comme base de données de référence.

Dans la deuxième partie, nous souhaitons contribuer à une meilleure compréhension du rôle des ligaments alaires lors de la rotation axiale. Pour cela, nous avons déterminé la cinématique 3D de l’os occipital par rapport à l’axis. Même s’il est inhabituel d’ignorer l’atlas, il nous a semblé plus juste de considérer les segments osseux qui livrent les principales insertions des ligaments alaires. La biomécanique de ces ligaments dépend des mouvements de l’os occipital par rapport à l’axis.

La troisième partie est orientée vers l’objectif principal de la thèse qui vise à déterminer les amplitudes articulaires inter-segmentaires lors de la position pré-manipulative de la colonne cervicale. Cette étude va nous permettre de comparer les amplitudes atteintes lors de la mise en position pré-manipulative avec celles des mouvements physiologiques.

La dernière partie a pour objectif principal de déterminer la longueur du trajet de l’artère vertébrale en position neutre, et ensuite de comparer la variation de longueur du trajet de l’artère vertébrale entre la position en rotation axiale maximale de la tête d’une part, et la position pré-manipulative d’autre part, donc lors de l’application d’une technique manipulative à composantes multiples telle qu’utilisée régulièrement en ostéopathie.

En comparant la position pré-manipulative à la rotation physiologique, les résultats les plus importants de ce travail sont :(1) les amplitudes segmentaires sont inférieures pour la position pré-manipulative et (2) l’artère vertébrale est moins allongée lors de cette mise en position que lors de la rotation physiologique. Ces deux faits, jusque-là inédits, sont importants en clinique ostéopathique courante et montrent l’importance d’un choix judicieux de la technique manipulative et de son exécution.

This doctoral thesis involved the study of three groups of neoplasms that affect bones of dogs (primary bone neoplasms, bone metastases, and multicentric neoplasms with bone involvement) and a bone lesion, often paraneoplastic, known as hypertrophic osteopathy. The study of primary bone neoplasms covered important pathological and epidemiological aspects for the diagnosis of this group of tumors, with emphasis on osteosarcomas. It was retrospectively performed, covering a period of 22 years. Reports of biopsy and necropsy cases of dogs received at the Laboratório de Patologia Veterinária, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (LPVUFSM) were analyzed. Out of the 90 primary bone neoplasms diagnosed in this period, 89 were malignant. Osteosarcoma was the most prevalent (86.7%) neoplasm. Regarding osteosarcomas, most cases occurred in large and giant breed dogs, between six and 10 years of age. The neoplasms predominantly involved the appendicular skeleton and were 3.5 times more prevalent in the forelimbs than in the hindlimbs. The predominant histologic subtype was the osteoblastic. For the study of neoplasms that comprise the second and third groups, i.e., neoplasms with bone metastases or with bone involvement by multicentric neoplasms, a prospective study was conducted over a period of three years. The skeleton of 110 dogs, with 118 malignant neoplasms of different origins received in the necropsy service of the LPV-UFSM were examined for bone lesions. Twenty-one cases of bone metastases or bone involvement by multicentric neoplasms (19.1%) were detected. In general, the bone lesions affected more female dogs. However, when mammary gland neoplasms were not considered, the distribution of cases according to the sex was very similar. The mean age was 9-years-old and dogs of different breeds were affected. The mammary gland was the primary site of most bone metastases, followed by neoplasms of the musculoskeletal and respiratory systems. Most metastases were observed grossly and occurred in multiple bones. However, in 23% of the cases metastases could only be observed microscopically. Vertebrae and humerus were the mosdt frequently affected bones. Simultaneously, seven cases of hypertrophic osteopathy, diagnosed in a period of 11 years at the LPV-UFSM, were retrospectively and prospectively studied. Affected dogs had clinical signs of bone involvement and lesions mainly in the long bones of the limbs. The lesions consisted of periosteal bone neoformation, detected on radiographs, bone inspection during necropsy, and with great level of detail, in macerated bone specimens. The bone proliferation was partially circumferential and occurred mainly in the diaphysis of long bones. It consisted of bone trabeculae of irregular size and thickness, which were arranged perpendicularly to the original cortical bone. In all cases, the lesions of hypertrophic osteopathy were associated with lung neoplasms (primary or metastatic). In two of the seven cases, the lung metastases were of primary bone sarcomas and, in one case, there was a primary lung osteosarcoma (extra-skeletic).
Esta tese envolveu o estudo de três grupos de neoplasmas que afetam os ossos de cães (neoplasmas ósseos primários, metástases ósseas e neoplasmas multicêntricos com envolvimento ósseo) e uma alteração óssea, muitas vezes paraneoplásica, conhecida como osteopatia hipertrófica. O estudo dos neoplasmas ósseos primários envolveu aspectos epidemiológicos e patológicos importantes para o diagnóstico deste grupo de tumores, com ênfase nos osteossarcomas. Foi realizado de forma retrospectiva, compreendo um período de 22 anos. Foram analisados laudos de casos de biópsias e necropsias de cães recebidos no Laboratório de Patologia Veterinária da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (LPV-UFSM). Dos 90 neoplasmas ósseos primários diagnosticados neste período, 89 eram malignos, sendo os osteossarcomas os mais prevalentes (86,7%). Em relação aos osteossarcomas, a maioria dos casos ocorreu em cães de raças grandes e gigantes e entre seis e 10 anos de idade. Os neoplasmas envolvendo o esqueleto apendicular predominaram e foram 3,5 vezes mais prevalentes nos membros anteriores que nos posteriores. O subtipo histológico predominante foi o osteoblástico. Para o estudo dos neoplasmas que compreenderam o segundo e o terceiro grupos, ou seja, neoplasmas com metástases ósseas ou o envolvimento ósseo em neoplasmas multicêntricos, foi realizado um estudo prospectivo durante um período de três anos. Neste período, cães provenientes do serviço de necropsias do LPV-UFSM foram avaliados. O esqueleto de 110 cães portadores de 118 neoplasmas malignos de diferentes origens foi examinado em busca de lesões ósseas. Foram encontrados vinte e um casos de metástases ou neoplasmas multicêntricos com envolvimento ósseo (19,1%). Em geral, as lesões ósseas afetaram mais as fêmeas. No entanto, quando os neoplasmas originados na glândula mamária foram desconsiderados, a distribuição dos casos de acordo com o sexo foi muito semelhante. Foram afetados cães com idade média de 9 anos e de diferentes raças. A glândula mamária foi a origem da maioria dos tumores que metastatizaram para os ossos, seguida do sistema músculo-esquelético e respiratório. A maioria das metástases foi detectada macroscopicamente e ocorreu em múltiplos ossos. Entretanto, em 23% dos casos as metástases só puderam ser observadas microscopicamente. Dentre os ossos afetados, vértebras e úmero foram os mais frequentemente acometidos. Paralelamente foram estudados, de forma retrospectiva, sete casos de osteopatia hipertrófica diagnosticados em um período de 11 anos no LPV-UFSM. Os cães afetados apresentavam sinais clínicos indicativos de envolvimento ósseo e lesões macroscópicas principalmente nos ossos longos dos membros. As lesões consistiram de neo-formação óssea periosteal, detectada em exame radiográfico, na inspeção óssea durante a necropsia e, com grande nível de detalhamento, em espécimes ósseos macerados. A proliferação óssea observada era parcialmente circunferencial e ocorreu principalmente na diáfise dos ossos longos. Era constituída por trabéculas ósseas de tamanho e espessura irregulares que estavam dispostas de forma perpendicular ao córtex ósseo original. Em todos os casos, as lesões de osteopatia hipertrófica foram associadas a neoplasmas pulmonares (primários ou metastáticos). Em dois dos sete casos, as metástases pulmonares eram de sarcomas ósseos e, em um caso, havia um osteossarcoma primário pulmonar (extraesquelético).

Abstract:

The purpose of this QI project is to educate current allopathic and osteopathic residents on the fundamentals of OMT as well as appropriate indications and contraindications for osteopathic manipulation therapy. In order to accomplish this goal, we propose to administer a pretest before giving a presentation on fundamentals of OMT and appropriate OMT referrals. Afterwards, we will perform a posttest to see if there was a significant increase in overall scores from the residents. We will then compile the scores into a spreadsheet and using data analysis, evaluate to see if current residents have had a significant improvement in overall knowledge of OMT fundamentals, indications and contraindications.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the use of reflective practice in osteopathic medicine and uses the method to narrate my work as an osteopathic practitioner. It explores the development of perceptual diagnostic judgments, and the role of metacognition, intuition and palpation in osteopathic clinical reasoning. A qualitative interpretive approach was used with a novel narrative method as an organising structure. This was broadly based around reflective practice models of Gibbs, (1988), Kolb, (1984) and Carper (1978) and the ideas of Schön (1983). Descriptive texts were constructed from notes taken of my thoughts whilst in the presence of patients. This allowed access, as closely as possible, to my decision making process. Finally, the descriptive texts were expanded into narratives through dialogue with the existing literature and peer review. The narratives were then analysed using thematic analysis to derive an understanding of concepts arising from the data. This thesis argues that osteopathic clinical reasoning involves multisensory perceptual diagnostic judgments that begin as soon as the patient enters the clinic, and arise as a result of the use of mental and visual imagery and embodied senses. The multisensory information that is detected by a practitioner activates pattern recognition, analytic reasoning and provides explicit feedback used in decision making. Diagnosis occurs as a result of piecing together and interpreting the multisensory information whilst maintaining awareness of other diagnostic possibilities. The findings also suggest that osteopathic clinical reasoning involves the supervision of cognition by the metacognitive processes of meta-knowledge (MK), meta-experiences (ME), and meta-skills (MS). The latter are used to plan, monitor, analyse, predict, evaluate and revise the consultation and patient management as suggested by Pesut and Herman (1992). ME is demonstrated by the presence of judgments of learning used to ensure sufficient information has been gathered, and feelings of rightness that are used to perceive the correctness of information arriving and decisions made. The use of reflective practice in this research has developed the understanding of osteopathic clinical reasoning, and demonstrated that it provides a powerful conduit for change in practice. As a result, it enables the provision of better patient-centred osteopathic healthcare incorporating the biopsychosocial model of healthcare. Although rooted in my own osteopathic practice style and strategies, it should have resonance for those within the discipline of osteopathy and has implications for osteopathic education, training and research.

Abstract:

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
A Cefaleia Tipo Tensional Crônica é uma das formas mais comuns de cefaleia primária. Aproximadamente 90% da população mundial experimentaram ou vão experimentar alguma forma desse mal no decorrer da vida, o que lhes pode ocasionar desfavoráveis mudanças físicas, psicológicas e sociais. Na atualidade, a doença vem sendo discutida pelos profissionais da fisioterapia a partir das próprias vivências do sujeito de maneira a dar um maior valor ao trabalho humanizado, permitindo ampliar as perspectivas de tratamento. Portanto, o presente estudo visa compreender o significado da vivência dos pacientes com CTTC em terapia osteopática. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativa exploratória com base na análise fenomenológica proposta por Husserl e interpretada por Bello, cujo propósito é compreender o ser humano na sua totalidade, nas dimensões física, psíquica e espiritual. As entrevistas foram realizadas no período de novembro de 2012 a fevereiro de 2013, no hospital de Boa Vista; participaram oito pacientes diagnosticados com CTTC, na faixa etária de 20 a 60 anos. Desse grupo, foram utilizadas duas entrevistas narrativas para a análise do material discursivo: a primeira antes, e a segunda após o tratamento osteopático. Os resultados permitiram estabelecer cinco núcleos tipológicos: Corpo e Medicalização, atos de julgamento e escolha terapêutica, Atos perceptivos sobre as limitações no trabalho frente à CTTC, Relações interpessoais e rede de apoio, A experiência logo após o atendimento osteopático inicial para a CTTC. Os resultados estudados nos pacientes com CTTC mostraram apreensão, insegurança com os efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos e aguçada percepção corpórea. Além disso, percebeu-se que os pacientes desenvolveram estratégias peculiares de enfrentamento da dor de cabeça, tais como: recolher-se a um ambiente, com ausência de luminosidade, e som após resfriar-se seja em um banho ou utilizando compressas na nuca ou cabeça, com o objetivo de poder dormir melhor, como também percebem que, após o atendimento osteopático, melhoraram nos sintomas de dor, humor, fadiga, recuperação das capacidades físicas e cognitivas e alívio da tensão muscular.
The Chronic Tension Type Headache is one of the most common forms of primary headache. Approximately 90% of the world population have experienced or will experience some form of this illness later in life, whatever they may cause adverse physical, psychological and social. At present, the disease has been discussed by practitioners of physical therapy from their own experiences of the subject in order to give greater value to the humanizing work, allowing broaden perspectives treatment. Therefore, this study aims to understand the meaning of the experience of patients with chronic TTH in osteopathic therapy. This is an exploratory qualitative research study based on the phenomenological analysis proposed by Husserl and played by Bello, whose purpose is to understand the human being in its entirety, in the physical, mental and spiritual. The interviews were conducted from November 2012 to February 2013, in the hospital of Boa Vista; attended eight patients diagnosed with chronic TTH, aged 20-60 years. Of this group, two narrative interviews were used for the analysis of discursive material, the first before and the second after the osteopathic treatment. The results allowed the five central typological: Body and medicalization, acts of judgment and choice of therapy, Acts perceptive about the limitations on the work front CTTC, interpersonal relationships and support network, experience soon after the initial osteopathic care for CTTC. The outcomes in patients with chronic TTH showed apprehension, uncertainty about the side effects of medicines and keen insight body. Moreover, it was noticed that patients developed strategies for coping with the peculiar headache, such as retreat to an environment, with the absence of light and sound after it cooled either in a bath or compresses using the neck or head, in order to be able to sleep better, but also realize that after the osteopathic care, improved symptoms of pain, mood, fatigue, recovery of physical and cognitive abilities and relieve muscle tension.

Abstract:

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) belong to the Transforming Growth Factor Beta superfamily of growth factors. While BMP signaling has been shown to induce skeletogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and be involved in the formation of ectopic bone and ossification, BMPs also are involved in the differentiation of many other tissues including neurogenic tissues. Prior studies from our laboratory showed that BMP-2 induction of chondrogenic differentiation of the C3H10T1/2 murine mesenchymal stem cell line was associated with increased oxidative metabolism. This study was performed to test the hypothesis that BMP-2 promotes increased oxidative metabolism during the differentiation of other types of cells. Using the neurogenic cell line, SH-SY5Y, this study examined whether cellular differentiation induced by BMP-2 also was associated with increased oxidative phosphorylation in non-mesenchymal stem cells. SH-SY5Y cells were grown in growth medium (DMEM/F12 with 10% FBS, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin, L-glutamine, and non-essential amino acids). Cells were plated appropriately at differing seeding densities (Day 0), treated one time with ± 200ng/mL BMP-2 two days after plating and analyzed on Day 4. Oxidative metabolism was measured using a Seahorse XF Analyzer that measures oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR). BMP-2 induction of neural cell differentiation was assayed by quantifying dendrite communication between neurons and decreased proliferative capacity as assessed by overall culture DNA contents. Mitochondrial density after BMP-2 treatment was examined using vital mitochondrial labeling. Groups treated with BMP-2 contained significantly less DNA content than control groups (p=0.006). BMP-2 treated cells had on average more dendritic interactions with one or two and more processes than control groups (p=0.396; p=0.872), while there were a larger percentage of cells not treated with BMP-2 that had zero dendritic interactions (p=0.470). All parameters of oxidative metabolism were increased in cells treated with BMP-2. More specifically, basal respiration and ATP production were significantly increased in BMP-2 treated cells (p=0.031; p=0.010). SH-SY5Y cells were significantly affected by BMP-2 treatment in both DNA content and oxidative phosphorylation. The diminished DNA content with BMP-2 treatment is consistent with the known decrease in cellular proliferation that is associated with neural cell differentiation. While there were small increases in dendritic interactions these were not significant and are inclusive for demonstrating BMP-2’s effect on neural differentiation. Upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation indicated after BMP-2 treatment was validated by the substantial increases in metabolic parameters associated with BMP-2 treatment. Through the utilization of the neural cell line, SH-SY5Y, this research suggests a more generalized functionality of BMP-2 in upregulation of oxidative metabolism as well as differentiation non-specific to bone and chondrocyte cell lineage.

Abstract:

Little has been published about the patients who visit osteopathic physicians, their attitudes, perceptions, understanding and satisfaction with these health care providers. This study was developed to analyse the perceptions of a randomly selected sample of the general public of Melbourne, regarding their attitudes towards osteopathic medicine. The significance of this study was that it would lead to a greater understanding of how the osteopathic profession is perceived by the lay population. Surveys were mailed to 1000 people across Melbourne with an invitation to participate in this study and provide data on their attitudes and perceptions towards osteopathic medicine. The returned surveys were analysed. Even though osteopaths were perceived to work almost exclusively with conditions or injuries of the musculoskeletal system, they were not the first point of call for patients experiencing low back pain. Although knowledge of osteopathy was limited, those who sought osteopathic treatment were highly satisfied with their treatments. The level of knowledge of the general public regarding osteopathy was limited, compared to other health professionals. Most respondents had positive, but diverse, attitudes and perceptions regarding osteopathy, and those who knew very little about osteopathy, were eager to learn more. This minor thesis was written by a post-graduate student as part of the requirements of the Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) program.

Abstract:

The two types of physicians in the United States healthcare system differ based on the type of medical education they receive. The first type train at allopathic medical schools and upon completion, students are awarded their Doctorate of Medicine and are then known as MDs. The second, less known type of medical education is that of osteopathy. Students that go to osteopathic medical schools earn a degree of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, and are thus considered DOs. This literature review analyzed public satisfaction with MDs or DOs since there are fundamental differences in the core philosophies of the two. It also answers whether this translates into better clinical outcomes and a more positive prognosis for the patient. The purpose of this study was to find any noticeable differences that translated into actual practice and discuss the implications they may have for the future of healthcare. Although no conclusion could be made, based on findings discussed throughout this paper, one may speculate that patients are more satisfied with a DO as opposed to an MD. Furthermore, as a patients' satisfaction is indicative of their health related quality of life, it is possible that patients that visit DO physicians would most likely have a better health related quality of life.

Abstract:

Patient rehabilitation advice (PRA) is commonly used amongst a variety of health care practitioners to aid and enhance the recovery of their patients. Research has demonstrated a positive relationship between the level of adherence to PRA recovery from a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, and has shown non-compliance to home-based exercise programs reduces the probability of successful outcome for therapeutic intervention. No previous research has focused on compliance to prescription and methods of prescription used in the osteopathic medicine setting. As exercise has shown to augment treatment efficacy and speed of recovery, it is important that osteopaths are informed of the current likely adherence rate to PRA and all factors that may cause non-compliance to their exercise prescription. The overall compliance rate to PRA at VUOMC is comparable with previous studies, with the use of diagrams being the least utilised but most effective method of prescription in the VUOMC setting. This study provides a basis for understanding exercise prescription implications that are important both to osteopaths and osteopathic patients in enhancing treatment results in terms of speed and efficacy, as well as potentially reducing treatment costs to both patients and third party payers. This minor thesis was written by a post-graduate student as part of the requirements of the Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) program.
