No study has systematically measured somatic dysfunction (SD) in patients with acute cerebral ischemia or tested the reliability of a new osteopathic diagnostic construct, called the Functional Pathology of the Musculoskeletal System (FPMSS) model. The methodology assesses the musculoskeletal system (MSS) as an integrated organ system, shifting emphasis of examination away from structural/postural malalignment to … Read More
This study was undertaken to build upon the work of J. Gordon Zink, DO, FAAO, by developing a novel screening examination (Expanded Zink screen) that can correlate with proper identification of somatic dysfunction, the area of greatest restriction (AGR), and effective treatment in soccer players, which would elevate the osteopathic profession and advance the field … Read More
Experimental evidence supporting the existence of the viscerosomatic reflex highlights an involvement of multiple vertebral levels when renal pathology is present. Further exploration of this reflex, particularly in the context of nephrolithiasis, could offer valuable insights for osteopathic treatments related to this pathology. Open-sourced machine learning datasets provide a valuable source of imaging data for … Read More
The finalization of the Single Accreditation System (SAS) in 2020 resulted in the combined residency training of both allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) graduates and has raised concerns about residency position availability for DO applicants in competitive specialties.
