Treatment For Cervicobrachial Pain Syndrome; A Comparison Of Direct And Indirect Manual Therapies, Brianna Palmer Oct 2013

Treatment For Cervicobrachial Pain Syndrome; A Comparison Of Direct And Indirect Manual Therapies, Brianna Palmer

Critically Appraised Topics (CAT)

An appraisal was made on a randomized controlled trial by Allison et al, which compared direct and indirect manual therapies for treating cervicobrachial pain syndrome. The direct therapy group (NT) received neural mobilizations, and the indirect therapy group (AT) received joint mobilizations for the glenohumeral joint and thoracic spine.

Per the Northwick Park Questionnaire and the Short Form-McGill Pain Questionnaire, decreases in pain were statistically significant for both groups from pre-assessment to post-assessment, but not between groups. When using the Visual Analog Scale, a statistically significant improvement was found for both groups over the treatment period, though only the NT …


Can The Upper Limb Tension Test 1 (Ultt1) Stand Alone In Diagnosing Median Nerve Compression In Adult Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Cts)?, Brianna Palmer Oct 2013

Can The Upper Limb Tension Test 1 (Ultt1) Stand Alone In Diagnosing Median Nerve Compression In Adult Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Cts)?, Brianna Palmer

Critically Appraised Topics (CAT)

An appraisal was made on a validity study by Vanti et al, regarding the upper limb neurodynamic test 1 (ULTT1) for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The selected paper included current patients at an occupational medicine clinic with suspected CTS and referral for nerve conduction study (NCS).

Using Wainner’s Criteria to indicate a positive ULTT1, calculated sensitivity was 0.9167 and specificity was 0.150. In limiting criteria for a positive test by requiring provocation of 1st-3rd digits only, the sensitivity decreased to 0.5417, however specificity increased to 0.70.

This study was effective in defining the inclusion criteria for …


Should I Say Something? Whether To Offer Unsolicited Health Information Inside And Outside The Workplace As A Healthcare Professional, Nicholas Church May 2013

Should I Say Something? Whether To Offer Unsolicited Health Information Inside And Outside The Workplace As A Healthcare Professional, Nicholas Church

Student-led Mini-Grants

Whether on-duty in medical centers, offices, and pharmacies, or off-duty out in the world, health professionals are often the first to notice a decline in health status of a fellow human being. Yet, many professionals report feeling conflicted about offering health information or advice to someone who is not expecting it. This event reviews the ethical, legal and practical implications of offering unsolicited health information; it touches on several dangerous, visible medical conditions that many Americans unknowingly live with; and it explores communication barriers and caveats through group discussion. Fictional scenarios with “what-if” variations will prompt discussion, and guests with …

Neutrophils are characterized by their distinct nuclear shape, which is thought to facilitate the transit of these cells through pore spaces less than one-fifth of their diameter. We used human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells as a model system to investigate the effect of nuclear shape in whole cell deformability. We probed neutrophil-differentiated HL-60 cells lacking expression of lamin B receptor, which fail to develop lobulated nuclei during granulopoiesis and present an in vitro model for Pelger-Huët anomaly; despite the circular morphology of their nuclei, the cells passed through micron-scale constrictions on similar timescales as scrambled controls. We then investigated the …
