Osteopathy and resistance to vitamin D toxicity in mice null for vitamin D binding protein
Safadi, F. F., P. Thornton, et al. (1999), J Clin Invest 103(2): 239-51.
Abstract: A line of mice deficient in vitamin D binding protein (DBP) was generated by targeted mutagenesis to establish a model for analysis of DBP's biological functions in vitamin D metabolism and action. On vitamin D-replete diets, DBP-/- mice had low levels of total serum vitamin D metabolites but were otherwise normal. When maintained on vitamin D-deficient diets for a brief period, the DBP-/-, but not DBP+/+, mice developed secondary hyperparathyroidism and the accompanying bone changes associated with vitamin D deficiency. DBP markedly prolonged the serum half-life of 25(OH)D and less dramatically prolonged the half-life of vitamin D by slowing its hepatic uptake and increasing the efficiency of its conversion to 25(OH)D in the liver. After an overload of vitamin D, DBP-/- mice were unexpectedly less susceptible to hypercalcemia and its toxic effects. Peak steady-state mRNA levels of the vitamin D-dependent calbindin-D9K gene were induced by 1,25(OH)2D more rapidly in the DBP-/- mice. Thus, the role of DBP is to maintain stable serum stores of vitamin D metabolites and modulate the rates of its bioavailability, activation, and end-organ responsiveness. These properties may have evolved to stabilize and maintain serum levels of vitamin D in environments with variable vitamin D availability.

Osteopathy due to methotrexate
Koller, A., H. Fill, et al. (1976), Osterr Z Onkol 3(3): 63-9.
Abstract: Two children with ALL receiving long-term therapy with methotrexate (50 mg/week i.v.) developed severe osteoporosis accompanied by swelling of the joints, gait disturbances and fractures after minimal trauma. Bone scans 85Sr disclosed a decreased input and increased turnover of calcium especially in the most used bones. The data of the calcium phosphorus metabolism are within the normal range. The minimal changes in the biopsy material of the iliac crest may be due to little mechanical use so that this part of the skeleton is not much affected by the osteoporosis. Since the controls receiving the same therapy did not have signs of such severe osteoporosis it is assumed that an additional, till unknown factor may play an additional role in this kind of methotrexate side effect.

Osteopathy in broiler chicks fed toxic mimosine in Leucaena leucocephala
Kamada, Y., N. Oshiro, et al. (1998), Biosci Biotechnol Biochem 62(1): 34-8.
Abstract: Further studies of mimosine toxicity in broiler chicks were done to clarify a possibility of osteopathy. The mineral content and density of femur and the strength, ductility, and toughness for the index of mechanical properties significantly decreased in the 1% mimosine group, compared with those in the control and restricted groups. The stiffness had a decreasing tendency in the 1% mimosine group. Consequently, it was concluded that chicks fed ad libitum a 1% mimosine diet for 12 days developed osteopathy. The bone mineral density and the strength of the restricted group were lower than those of the control group, and those of the 1% mimosine group were still lower than those of the restricted group. Contents of pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline in the excrement were significantly higher in the restricted group than those in the control group, but the contents in the 1% mimosine group were significantly lowest among the groups. Osteopathy in chicks fed mimosine, therefore, seemed to be done by loss of appetite and changing to a low turnover of bone caused by mimosine.

Outpatient Osteopathic Single Organ System Musculoskeletal Exam Form series: validation of the Outpatient Osteopathic SOS Musculoskeletal Exam Form, a new standardized medical record
Sleszynski, S. L., T. Glonek, et al. (2004), J Am Osteopath Assoc 104(10): 423-38.
Abstract: The authors validate the Outpatient Osteopathic SOS (Single Organ System) Musculoskeletal Exam Form (SOS MSEF), a 1-page form contained within the 4-page Outpatient Osteopathic Single Organ System Musculoskeletal Exam Form Series (SOS-FS). Handwritten physician progress notes (PPNs) in the medical record (considered to be the "gold standard" for clinical records) were compared with information placed on the SOS MSEF for the same patient encounter. Data recorded by 14 trained and certified investigators on the standardized SOS MSEF-which was designed for use with the previously validated Outpatient Osteopathic SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) Note Form (SNF)-was compared with data recorded by the same investigators in PPNs. The authors compared the accuracy and efficiency of physicians recording musculoskeletal information in these two formats for 165 patient encounters. Descriptive statistics and t tests were used to compare data recorded after patient encounters. Ninety-seven variables input from the PPNs or SOS MSEFs were significantly different at the P < or =.05 level, whereas 38 variables were not. Insufficient data was recorded for a determination of significance in 3 variables. For 121 variables, more data were recorded using the SOS MSEFs than PPNs; for 84 variables, the amount of data recorded exceeded twice that recorded using PPNs. For 10 variables, more data were recorded in PPNs; however, these differences were not significant. The authors conclude that the SOS MSEF is superior to PPNs for recording patient-encounter data in the osteopathic care setting. Moreover, they argue that the use of the validated SOS MSEF nationwide would ensure that osteopathic physicians would be recording data in a similar manner for uniform insurance claim coding, easy tracking of physicians-in-training and patient outcomes, and data collection for future research.

Outpatient osteopathic single organ system musculoskeletal exam form: training and certification
Sleszynski, S. L., T. Glonek, et al. (2004), J Am Osteopath Assoc 104(2): 76-81.
Abstract: The Outpatient Osteopathic Single Organ System Musculoskeletal Exam Form (SOS form) is a standardized examination data form. A standardized form is necessary to ensure that essential quality data are collected during osteopathic studies and that each submitted form is completed adequately and uniformly. Use of the standardized form permits reliable statistical computations from the collected data. The training process for the SOS form incorporated the following elements: (1) training investigators to use the form; (2) having trainees transcribe three clinical case examples onto SOS forms; (3) comparing each transcribed clinical case to a prepared key; (4) evaluating the trainees' work for accuracy; and (5) statistically evaluating the trainees' records for intraexaminer and interexaminer reliability. The success or failure of trainees to receive certification in their training process involved evaluating their ability to accurately and appropriately record data collected from three case examples. These cases were designed to evaluate recording accuracy and intraexaminer and interexaminer reliability. All trainees scored 80% or better for accuracy, and their work had good intraexaminer and interexaminer reliability. As a result, all trainees were awarded a numbered certificate for successful completion of the training process. Having a pool of well-trained, certified investigators available and ready to participate in the gathering of data through the use of the SOS form ensures that necessary data are collected and that the resulting databases are unified. It will also facilitate comparisons and statistical analysis of osteopathic research projects. Standardized forms and certified investigators will improve the quality of osteopathic research throughout the profession.

Outpatient Osteopathic SOAP Note Form: preliminary results in osteopathic outcomes-based research
Sleszynski, S. L. and T. Glonek (2005), J Am Osteopath Assoc 105(4): 181-205.
Abstract: One of the persistent challenges facing the osteopathic medical profession has been the lack of a reliable, easy-to-use, validated system for recording, collecting, and evaluating clinical findings in a format that is suitable for long-term data collection. As a result of the recent emphasis on outcomes-based research in the field of medicine, the creation and use of a standardized tool for the osteopathic profession has been pursued with increased urgency. In this study, the authors used participant-completed and previously validated Outpatient Osteopathic SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) Note Forms (SNFs) and Outpatient Osteopathic SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) Note--Follow-up Forms to obtain answers to 17 outcomes-based questions that the profession must address to meet the new challenges and demands of outcomes-based research. A consortium of 10 osteopathic physicians and 196 osteopathic residents and undergraduate fellows submitted a total of 3908 patient SNFs for analysis. Answers to these 17 questions were computed using appropriate statistical determinants (eg, frequencies, correlations). Retrospective analysis indicated that, in addition to the outcomes addressed in this study, use of the SNF could be extended to the following functions: pre- and postdoctoral tracking, outcomes research into the efficacy of osteopathic intervention, medical science research, autonomic correlation with disease entities, etiology of musculoskeletal dysfunction, billing information, and internal comparison studies between osteopathic physicians. A long-term goal of the SNF project is to create an electronic national database for osteopathic outcomes-based research.
