Usefulness of online bibliographic research in biomedical research, with an application to the epidemiologic study of genetic osteopathy
Giordano, N., S. Geraci, et al. (2000), Ann Ist Super Sanita 36(3): 351-61.
Abstract: The bibliographic research online is an useful means of recovering information in all the subjects, particularly in the field of biomedicine. In fact, this instrument allows researchers to get information in a rapid, complete and up-to-date way. The aim of the present review is to describe the usefulness of the bibliographical research online in the field of the genetic osteopathies. These are rare disorders: so, their own rarity makes the bibliographical research online necessary to carry out a large and effective comparison of experiences. The obtained results are amply reported in the manuscript. For instance, we verified that chondrodysplasias are the diseases most represented in the literature, while melorheostosis the disorder less mentioned. Moreover, we evidenced that some hereditary disorders of connective tissue, such as Marfan's syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, are strongly influenced by race, sex and age.

Vitamin D deficiency. Osteopathy after prolonged treatment with anticonvulsents (author's transl)
Wendenburg, H. H., G. Baldauf, et al. (1976), Rofo 124(1): 7-11.
Abstract: Several substances with anticonvulsent activity can lead to hypovitamenosis D after prolonged use through their effect on vitamen D metabolism in the liver. This results in abnormal bone mineralisation and produces rickets or osteomalacia. Radiological examination of the skeleton should be performed on patients receiving prolonged anticonvulsent therapy, in order to arrive at an early diagnosis. This requires an accurate knowledge of the types of bone abnormality and of their most frequent localisation. Pathological findings such as Looser's zones, epiphyseolysis or delayed development must be considered in this context. Radiological examination provides an accurate diagnosis if combined with clinical findings and important biochemical results: reduced calcium and raised alkaline phosphatase. Treatment with vitamen D must then be instituted. Healing may be complete or leave residual changes, depending on the severity of the bone changes.

X-ray diagnosis of renal osteopathy in dialysis patients with reference to clinical aspects
Hubsch, P., S. Trattnig, et al. (1989), Radiologe 29(1): 43-7.
Abstract: Pathophysiological histological and radiological findings in renal osteodystrophy are described. Special emphasis is laid on secondary hyperparathyroidism. Preliminary results of the authors' investigations show a good correlation between radiological findings in the phalanges of the hand and the concentration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in 14 patients. The concentration of the hormone in the blood was measured by a new "two-site" immunoradiometric assay, which is specific for the intact, biologically active hormone. Patients with high concentrations of PTH in the blood tended to have more severe radiological changes. In 4 patients for whom radiographs of the hands revealed no pathologic findings, normal PTH concentrations in the blood were measured by this method, whereas the conventional assay gave elevated hormone concentrations for the same patients. This is due to the lack of specificity of the conventional method for the intact, biologically active hormone. Nevertheless, further investigations are needed to confirm these findings.

A century of radiology in osteopathic healthcare
Rosenbaum, R. R. (1998), J Am Osteopath Assoc 98(12): 696, 699-702.
Abstract: This commemorative note, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of radiology in osteopathic healthcare, reviews the development of the specialty from the initial availability of primitive equipment to its present status as an important component of patient care and a significant element in the consideration of socioeconomic issues affecting patient welfare. The osteopathic medical profession was quick to grasp the potential of the new modality, and its history is an exciting aspect of osteopathic medicine's progress.

A comparison of chiropractic, medical and osteopathic care for work-related sprains and strains
Johnson, M. R., M. K. Schultz, et al. (1989), J Manipulative Physiol Ther 12(5): 335-44.
Abstract: The cost of care and the number of days lost because of work injury were analyzed from information gathered in a postal card survey sent to all Iowa back or neck injury claimants (sprain/strain) on record for 1984. Descriptive findings for the flow of care of the respondents were evaluated and a comparison made of the benefits and costs of care received by patients treated by chiropractic doctors (DCs), medical doctors (MDs) or osteopathic doctors (DOs). The analysis focused on those workers who lost enough time from work to qualify for compensation (4 days or more), whose cases were closed and who received all their care from one health professional. For those who received care from DCs (n = 266), the mean number of compensated days lost from work was at least 2.3 days less than for those who were treated by MDs (n = 494; p less than 0.025) and at least 3.8 days less than for those who were treated by DOs (n = 102; p less than 0.025). Consequently, much less money in employment compensation was paid, on the average, to those who saw DCs. Findings on provider care costs are less clear-cut because care-cost data on only a portion of the cases was recorded on the State records used. For the data available, the median provider cost was highest for patients who saw DCs, but the mean was highest for those who saw MDs. The study showed that 38% of claimants did change doctors. When change of provider occurred, days lost from work and cost of care varied widely across the care options, but generally, fewer workdays were lost and lower amounts of disability compensation and provider cost paid when chiropractic was included in the care pattern.

A comparison of osteopathic spinal manipulation with standard care for patients with low back pain
Andersson, G. B., T. Lucente, et al. (1999), N Engl J Med 341(19): 1426-31.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The effect of osteopathic manual therapy (i.e., spinal manipulation) in patients with chronic and subchronic back pain is largely unknown, and its use in such patients is controversial. Nevertheless, manual therapy is a frequently used method of treatment in this group of patients. METHODS: We performed a randomized, controlled trial that involved patients who had had back pain for at least three weeks but less than six months. We screened 1193 patients; 178 were found to be eligible and were randomly assigned to treatment groups; 23 of these patients subsequently dropped out of the study. The patients were treated either with one or more standard medical therapies (72 patients) or with osteopathic manual therapy (83 patients). We used a variety of outcome measures, including scores on the Roland-Morris and Oswestry questionnaires, a visual-analogue pain scale, and measurements of range of motion and straight-leg raising, to assess the results of treatment over a 12-week period. RESULTS: Patients in both groups improved during the 12 weeks. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in any of the primary outcome measures. The osteopathic-treatment group required significantly less medication (analgesics, antiinflammatory agents, and muscle relaxants) (P< 0.001) and used less physical therapy (0.2 percent vs. 2.6 percent, P<0.05). More than 90 percent of the patients in both groups were satisfied with their care. CONCLUSIONS: Osteopathic manual care and standard medical care had similar clinical results in patients with subacute low back pain. However, the use of medication was greater with standard care.

A divisional approach to enhancing research among osteopathic family practice residents
Smith-Barbaro, P., K. G. Fulda, et al. (2004), J Am Osteopath Assoc 104(4): 177-9.
Abstract: There is an increasing demand to expose osteopathic family practice residents to research. Within the Department of Family Medicine at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth-Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, the Division of Education and Research (DEAR) was developed in 1999. The primary focus of DEAR is to provide the necessary resources and knowledge for faculty members and residents to conduct research and accomplish scholarly activities. Guidelines are implemented to ensure the timeliness, efficiency, and completion of each resident's paper. The efficacy of DEAR's policies is evaluated annually through surveying the residents, tracking paper submissions to the resident director, and tracking publications and presentations. The expectation of DEAR's resident research component is full completion of a resident paper suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal before graduation. Initial evaluation suggests positive strides toward reaching this goal. Future successes will be determined by monitoring the next few years.
