International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine RSS feed: Current Issue. 7th Chiropractic, Osteopathy and Physiotherapy Annual Conference: 'moving forward through research and practice' 9th October 2010 www.aecc.ac.uk/cop-conference-2010.aspx The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal that provides for the publication of high quality research articles and review papers that are as broad as the many disciplines that influence and underpin the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine. Particular emphasis is given to basic science research, clinical epidemiology and health social science in relation to osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine. The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles based on both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The Editorial Board also aims to provide a forum for discourse and debate on any aspect of osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with the aim of critically evaluating existing practices in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders and somatic dysfunction. All manuscripts submitted to the IJOM are subject to a blinded review process. The categories currently available for publication include reports of original research, review papers, commentaries and articles related to clinical practice, including case reports. Further details can be found in the IJOM Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be published elsewhere.http://www.journalofosteopathicmedicine.com/?rss=yesElsevier Inc.en © 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc.

Retrospective case-control studies and case reviews have come to mixed conclusions about the association between physical treatments and probably the most serious event associated with manual therapy approaches: cervical artery dissection and stroke. These types of studies do not allow for the assessment of a causal relationship between stroke and manipulation. They do, however, highlight the need for those treating neck and head pain to be aware of the range of vascular events and presenting symptoms that may be misinterpreted as simple mechanical neck pain or may be associated with treatment. Taylor and Kerry’s Masterclass in this issue (see p. 85) provides a clear and helpful clinical review of a range of factors to consider when evaluating risk associated with vasculogenic head and neck pain. It is clear from the review that cervical artery dissection is a multifactorial event whose aetiology is complex and partly unknown. This Masterclass provides a helpful summary of current evidence and advocates clear reasoning strategies, in the context of many questions which remain unanswered by current evidence.Adverse events and treatment reactions in osteopathySteven Vogel10.1016/j.ijosm.2010.06.001International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine 13, 3 (2010)2010-06-25International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine2010-06-25133S1746-0689(10)X0004-98384http://www.journalofosteopathicmedicine.com/article/PIIS1746068910000532/abstract?rss=yesAbstract: This paper presents a clinical overview and update of cervical arterial dysfunction (CAD) for osteopaths and other clinicians who treat patients presenting with cervical pain and headache syndromes. An overview of a ‘system based’ approach to the concept of vertebrobasilar arterial insufficiency (VBI) is covered, with reference to assessment procedures recommended by commonly used guidelines. We suggest that the evidence supporting contemporary practice remains limited and present a more holistic approach to considering cervical arterial dysfunction. This ‘system based’ approach considers typical pain patterns and clinical progressions of both vertebrobasilar, and internal carotid arterial pathologies. Attention to the risk factors, pathomechanics and haemodynamics of arterial dysfunction is also given. We suggest that consideration of the information provided in this updated ‘Masterclass’ will enhance clinical reasoning with regard to differential diagnosis of cervical pain syndromes and prediction of serious adverse reactions to treatment.A ‘system based’ approach to risk assessment of the cervical spine prior to manual therapyAlan J.

We aimed to identify and describe such adverse events and seek a consensus definition.A focus group identified issues surrounding the definition of adverse events and generated the content for a questionnaire. This questionnaire was used to conduct a modified Delphi consensus survey with an expert panel (n = 50). Consensus was defined as >74% agreement. Three consensus rounds were executed.There was a 50% response rate for round one, 62% for round two and 55% for round three. A layered pragmatic definition was agreed:‘Major’ adverse events are medium to long term, moderate to severe and unacceptable, they normally require further treatment and are serious and distressing;‘Moderate’ adverse events are as ‘major’ adverse events but only moderate in severity; and.‘Mild’ and ‘not adverse’ adverse events are short term and mild, non-serious, the patient’s function remains intact, and they are transient/reversible; no treatment alterations are required because the consequences are short term and contained.We concluded that classifying adverse events was difficult without context or detail. Classification may be improved by using the taxonomy and descriptions suggested in this study.Defining adverse events in manual therapies: A modified delphi consensus studyDawn Carnes, Brenda Mullinger, Martin Underwood10.1016/j.ijosm.2010.03.001International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine 13, 3 (2010)2010-07-21International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine2010-07-21133S1746-0689(10)X0004-9Research Report9498http://www.journalofosteopathicmedicine.com/article/PIIS1746068910000556/abstract?rss=yesMeeting report: The British School of Osteopathy, 8th February 2010 Jerry Rodi, The British School of Osteopathy, London, UKResearch and treatment bulletinPaul D.
