| Cadmium-induced osteopathy: clinical and autopsy findings of four patients Takebayashi, S., T. Harada, et al. (1987), Appl Pathol 5(3): 190-7. Abstract: Clinical and autopsy findings of 4 patients with chronic cadmium toxication by peroral uptake of cadmium are reported. Cadmium toxication was liable to occur in multiparous postmenopausal women, and it began with proteinuria, glycosuria, lumbago and bone pain. Then, renal function gradually decreased being accompanied with renal tubulopathy. Autopsy disclosed renal tubulopathy, which consisted of the flattening of the epithelium of proximal convoluted tubules at the peripheral portion and the mild thickening of the tubular basement membrane. There was no primary change in the glomerulus and renal interstitium. Osteomalacia was observed in the vertebrae and several other bones. The degree of osteomalacia was in good agreement with chronic renal tubular dysfunction. A decrease of the estrogen content, in addition to renal tubulopathy due to biological saturation of cadmium, seems to play an important role in the pathogenesis of cadmium-induced osteomalacia. |

| Calcium metabolism and osteopathy in diabetes mellitus Shao, A. H., F. G. Wang, et al. (1991), Contrib Nephrol 90: 212-6. Abstract: To assess the changes of calcium metabolism and osteopathy in patients with diabetes. Serum Ca, P, AKP, PTH, CT, plasma fasting blood glucose (FBG) and HbA1 as well as X-ray film of the lumbar spine were measured in 30 diabetes patients; 11 were IDDM and 19 were NIDDM as compared to controls matched for age and sex. There were no significant differences in Ca, P, and CT values in serum between the IDDM and NIDDM patients and controls, whereas the serum levels of PTH and AKP were significant increased in IDDM patients. The incidence of osteoporosis which was shown by X-ray film in NIDDM patients was higher than in those of controls. No correlation between PTH value and osteoporosis or clinical control of diabetes was observed. |

| Canine distemper virus transcripts detected in the bone cells of dogs with metaphyseal osteopathy Mee, A. P., M. T. Gordon, et al. (1993), Bone 14(1): 59-67. Abstract: Using the technique of in situ hybridisation, we have recently extended our observations that canine distemper virus (CDV) is present in the bone cells of patients with Paget's disease, and have shown that CDV is also detectable in the bone cells of dogs that are naturally infected with the virus. Since hybridisation was localised to bone cells within the metaphyses of the affected dogs, we investigated the possibility that CDV might be involved in the canine metaphyseal bone disorder, metaphyseal osteopathy. Bone samples from three cases of metaphyseal osteopathy were examined for the presence of the CDV nucleocapsid (CDV-N) gene and the measles virus nucleocapsid (MV-N) gene, using 35S-labelled sense and antisense riboprobes. As with our previous findings in Paget's disease of bone, only the antisense probe was found to hybridize to the osteoblasts and osteoclasts within the affected metaphyses. No hybridisation was seen with the CDV-N sense and MV-N probes in any of the samples tested. Bone samples were also taken from one of the cases to check for the presence of the CDV-N gene using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Our findings with in situ hybridisation were confirmed by PCR and subsequent Southern blotting and probing with a 32P-labelled cDNA probe. The detection of CDV RNA within the bone cells of dogs with metaphyseal osteopathy suggests that this virus may be a cause of the disease and provides further, indirect evidence that CDV might be responsible for the bony abnormalities seen in Paget's disease of bone. |
| Cannabimimetic effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment McPartland, J. M., A. Giuffrida, et al. (2005), J Am Osteopath Assoc 105(6): 283-91. Abstract: Endogenous cannabinoids activate cannabinoid receptors in the brain and elicit mood-altering effects. Parallel effects (eg, anxiolysis, analgesia, sedation) may be elicited by osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), and previous research has shown that the endorphin system is not responsible for OMT's mood-altering effects. The authors investigate whether OMT generated cannabimimetic effects for 31 healthy subjects in a dual-blind, randomized controlled trial that measured changes in subjects' scores on the 67-item Drug Reaction Scale (DRS). Chemical ionization gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were also used to determine changes in serum levels of anandamide (AEA), 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), and oleylethanolamide (OEA). In subjects receiving OMT, posttreatment DRS scores increased significantly for the cannabimimetic descriptors good, high, hungry, light-headed, and stoned, with significant score decreases for the descriptors inhibited, sober, and uncomfortable. Mean posttreatment AEA levels (8.01 pmol/mL) increased 168% over pretreatment levels (2.99 pmol/mL), mean OEA levels decreased 27%, and no changes occurred in 2-AG levels in the group receiving OMT. Subjects in the sham manipulative treatment group recorded mixed DRS responses, with both increases and decreases in scores for cannabimimetic and noncannabimimetic descriptors and no changes in sera levels. When changes in serum AEA were correlated with changes in subjects' DRS scores, increased AEA correlated best with an increase for the descriptors cold and rational, and decreased sensations for the descriptors bad, paranoid, and warm. The authors propose that healing modalities popularly associated with changes in the endorphin system, such as OMT, may actually be mediated by the endocannabinoid system. |
| Cardiogenic hypertrophic osteopathy in a dog with a right-to-left shunting patent ductus arteriosus Anderson, T. P., M. C. Walker, et al. (2004), J Am Vet Med Assoc 224(9): 1464-6, 1453. Abstract: A 5-year-old castrated male Shetland Sheepdog was examined because of progressive bilateral hind limb thickening. Cyanosis of the preputial mucous membranes was evident, whereas the oral mucous membranes had a normal color. A well-structured, palisade-like periosteal reaction with no underlying bone destruction was evident on radiographs of the hind limbs. The radiographic changes were consistent with hypertrophic osteopathy (HO). Severe right-sided cardiomegaly was seen on thoracic radiographs, and a diagnosis of patent ductus arteriosus with right-to-left shunting was made by means of echocardiography and contrast echoaortography. The cyanotic heart disease was believed to be the cause of the HO. Hypertrophic osteopathy has been associated with a number of diseases in animals and humans. In humans, congenital heart defects that cause cyanosis are among the most common causes of HO. |

| Characteristics, satisfaction, and perceptions of patients receiving ambulatory healthcare from osteopathic physicians: a comparative national survey Licciardone, J. C. and K. M. Herron (2001), J Am Osteopath Assoc 101(7): 374-85. Abstract: A national telephone survey was conducted in 1998 using random-digit dialing and the first Osteopathic Survey of Healthcare in America (OSTEOSURV-I) instrument to determine patients' satisfaction with their healthcare, as well as their perceptions of osteopathic medicine. Of the 1106 respondents, 243 (22.0%) had received medical care from an osteopathic physician, and another 307 (27.8%) claimed to be aware of osteopathic physicians. Patients of osteopathic physicians reported the highest levels of satisfaction in 8 of the 11 elements studied when compared with patients of allopathic physicians, chiropractors, and nonphysician clinicians other than chiropractors. Respondents perceived osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to be beneficial for musculoskeletal disorders (P <.001). In addition, respondents perceived that healthcare services provided by osteopathic physicians were similar to those provided by allopathic physicians (P <.001), but not to those provided by chiropractors (P =.01). A total of 97.9% of current patients of osteopathic physicians agreed with the statement that osteopathic physicians practiced in their local community, compared with 80.6% of former patients of osteopathic physicians and 67.8% of patients who had never visited osteopathic physicians (P <.001). In general, the most favorable perceptions of osteopathic medicine were reported by current patients of osteopathic physicians, followed by former patients of such physicians. The least favorable perceptions came from patients who had never been patients of osteopathic physicians. The perception that OMT should be covered by health insurance was significantly associated with the use of osteopathic physicians (odds ratio, 3.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.5 to 6.7, among patients who had ever been to an osteopathic physician). The results of our survey suggest that greater access to osteopathic services, including OMT, is desirable and that promotional efforts aimed at encouraging the use of osteopathic medical services among the general population are warranted. |

| Chiropractic & Osteopathy. A new journal Walker, B. F., S. D. French, et al. (2005), Chiropr Osteopat 13(1): 1. Abstract: Both chiropractic and osteopathy are over a century old. They are now regarded as complementary health professions. There is an imperative for both professions to research the principles and claims that underpin them, and the new journal Chiropractic & Osteopathy provides a scientific forum for the publication of such research. |
| c-kit mutation and osteopetrosis-like osteopathy in a patient with systemic mast cell disease Reinacher-Schick, A., S. Petrasch, et al. (1998), Ann Hematol 77(3): 131-4. Abstract: We describe the case of a 69-year-old man with systemic mastocytosis and severe osteopetrosis who carries a somatic activating mutation in the c-kit proto-oncogene. The patient initially presented with urticaria pigmentosa, progressing to systemic mast cell disease with severe anemia due to bone marrow involvement, chronic diarrhea, and hepatosplenomegaly. Direct sequencing using amplimers from reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) from skin mast cell-derived RNA revealed a point mutation in the c-kit proto-oncogene at position 2468, introducing a new recognition site for the restriction endonuclease HinfI. Treatment with interferon-alpha 2a, prednisone, and erythropoietin was initiated. Subsequently, clinical symptoms improved significantly and hemoglobin levels are now stable at 13 g/dl. |

| Cognitive bias in back pain patients attending osteopathy: testing the enmeshment model in reference to future thinking Read, J. and T. Pincus (2004), Eur J Pain 8(6): 525-31. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Depressive symptoms are common in chronic pain. Previous research has found differences in information-processing biases in depressed pain patients and depressed people without pain. The schema enmeshment model of pain (SEMP) has been proposed to explain chronic pain patients' information-processing biases. Negative future thinking is common in depression but has not been explored in relation to chronic pain and information-processing models. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to test the SEMP with reference to future thinking. METHODS: An information-processing paradigm compared endorsement and recall bias between depressed and non-depressed chronic low back pain patients and control participants. Twenty-five depressed and 35 non-depressed chronic low back pain patients and 25 control participants (student osteopaths) were recruited from an osteopathy practice. Participants were asked to endorse positive and negative ill-health, depression-related, and neutral (control) adjectives, encoded in reference to either current or future time-frame. Incidental recall of the adjectives was then tested. RESULTS: While the expected hypothesis of a recall bias by depressed pain patients towards ill-health stimuli in the current condition was confirmed, the recall bias was not present in the future condition. Additionally, patterns of endorsement and recall bias differed. DISCUSSION: Results extend understanding of future thinking in chronic pain within the context of the SEMP. |
| Collaboration between pharmacy and osteopathic medicine to teach via the Internet Sweeney, M. A. and M. L. Schuster (2000), J Am Osteopath Assoc 100(12): 792-4. Abstract: This article describes the results of a survey from graduate pharmacy students who completed a neurology/psychiatry course taught by a pharmacist and an osteopathic physician via the Internet. Seventeen practicing pharmacists completed the 11-week course, and thirteen students completed the survey provided at the end of the course. Results indicated that students were pleased with the course. Mean evaluation scores ranged from 4.31 to 4.77 on a five-point scale. Additionally, students indicated that the collaboration of medicine and pharmacy provided an educational model that should be duplicated for future courses. |
