In this article, major aspects of back care provided to patients by family physicians and chiropractors are reviewed, and the recent guidelines on spinal manipulation therapy are discussed. These guidelines should be useful for family physicians wishing to refer patients to chiropractors.

Hypothesis For Prediction Of Stimulant Drug Effectiveness Utilizing Sensory Integrative Diagnostic Methods, Judith Giencke Kimball Jun 1988

Hypothesis For Prediction Of Stimulant Drug Effectiveness Utilizing Sensory Integrative Diagnostic Methods, Judith Giencke Kimball

Occupational Therapy Faculty Publications

Despite extensive research, there has been no way to predict before drug administration which children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will respond to medication intended to calm them. A drug trial is the current method used. This paper discusses the action of stimulant medications and presents a hypothesis as to why they work on some children and not others. Sensory integration theory, particularly on vestibular system measures, that involves differential diagnosis of certain types of ADHD children, is used to explain why some children respond to stimulant medications.


Prediction Of Methylphenidate (Ritalin) Responsiveness Through Sensory Integrative Testing, Judith Giencke Kimball Apr 1986

Prediction Of Methylphenidate (Ritalin) Responsiveness Through Sensory Integrative Testing, Judith Giencke Kimball

Occupational Therapy Faculty Publications

Seventeen children previously judged to be good or poor responders to methylphenidate (Ritalin) were tested on sensory integrative measures while in the off-drug state. The tester was unaware of the children's drug response category. Results showed that children who were poor responders to Ritalin showed prolonged scores on and an adverse reaction to the Southern California Postrotary Nystagmus Test and had poorer equilibrium reactions and lower double tactile stimuli scores than the children judged good responders to Ritalin. These findings suggest that it might be possible to identify good and poor responders to Ritalin before the medication is given, something …

Behavioral Interactions Of Opioid Agonists And Antagonists With Serotonergic Systems, David J. Mokler, Richard H. Rech, Randall L. Commissaris, Judith W. Henck Jan 1984

Behavioral Interactions Of Opioid Agonists And Antagonists With Serotonergic Systems, David J. Mokler, Richard H. Rech, Randall L. Commissaris, Judith W. Henck

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

Morphine interacts with brain serotonergic (5-HT) systems; these systems have been implicated in morphine analgesia and dependence (see Cervo et al., 1981). The 5-HT agonist quipazine induces analgesia in rats that is attenuated by naloxone and 5-HT antagonists (Minnema et al., 1980; Samanin et al., 1976). Behavioral disruption by the hallucinogens LSD, DMT and mescaline, mediated primarily through brain 5-HT effects (Rech and Commissaris, 1982), is potentiated by naloxone and naltrexone (Commissaris et al., 1980; Ruffing and Domino, 1981) and is variably antagonized or potentiated by morphine and methadone (Ruffing and Domino, 1981). Cyclazocine causes a disruption of operant behavior …


Diazepam, Pentobarbital, And Methaqualone Effects On Several Behaviors In The Rat And Antagonism By Ro 15-1788, David J. Mokler, Richard H. Rech Jan 1983

Diazepam, Pentobarbital, And Methaqualone Effects On Several Behaviors In The Rat And Antagonism By Ro 15-1788, David J. Mokler, Richard H. Rech

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

The sedative hypnotics may exert their effects through a number of different mechanisms. Diazepam interacts with a specific receptor linked to a GABA receptor and a CL ionophore (Skolnick and Paul, 1981) and enhances the binding affinity of the GABA receptor for its ligand. Barbiturates may act at an additional receptor linked to this complex (Olsen, 1981). The sites of action of methaqualone have yet to be defined. Recently Hunkeler et al. (1981) synthesized a new class of compounds, the imidazodiazepines, the prototype being Ro 15-1788. They showed that Ro 15-1788 inhibits 3H-Diazepam binding to brain synaptosomes, reverses diazepam-induced protection …
