Use of HAND terrain descriptor for estimating flood-prone areas in river basins
Authors: Dantas Ana Alice Rodrigues , Paz Adriano Rolim 
Published: August 2021

The flood hazard mapping in a river basin is crucial for flooding risk management, mitigation strategies, and flood forecasting and warning systems, among other benefits. One approach for this mapping is based on the HAND (Height Above Nearest Drainage) terrain descriptor, directly derived from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), in which each pixel represents the elevation difference of this point in relation to the river drainage network to which it is connected. Considering the Mamanguape river basin (3,522.7 km²; state of Paraíba, Brazil) as the study location, the present research applied this method and verified it as for five aspects: consideration of a spatially variable minimum drainage area for denoting the river drainage initiation; the impact of considering a depressionless DEM; evaluation of hydrostatic condition; effect of incorporating an existing river vector network; and comparative analysis of basin morphology regarding longitudinal river profiles. According to the results, adopting a uniform minimum drainage area for the river network initiation is a simplification that should be avoided, using a spatially variable approach, which influences the amount and spatial distribution of flooded areas. Additionally, considering the depressionless DEM leads to higher values of HAND and to a smaller flooded area (difference ranging between 3% and 99%), when compared with the use of DEM with depression, despite 3.1% of the pixels representing depressions. The use of the depressionless DEM is recommended, whereas the DEM pre-processing by incorporating a vector network (stream burning) generates dubious results regarding the relation between HAND and the morphological pattern presented in the DEM. Moreover, the estimation of flooded areas based on HAND does not guarantee the hydrostatic condition, but this disagreement comprises a negligible area for practical purposes.

Closer to Dust
Authors: Rich Sara A. 
Published: August 2021

No one thinks straight. At least no one remembers straight. But ten years ago, things were different, weren’t they?
Roland Barthes once wrote that color in a photograph is like make-up on a corpse. No one is fooled. In anarchic denial of convenient truths, a young international couple meet and marry on a small Mediterranean island. Ten years later, the couple separate in part due to complications with immigration laws. Following this transcontinental rupture, fragmented histories emerge in response to the woman’s encounters with a series of color snapshots. There is death here, familiar to the mourner, as the photographs issue their special powers to magically and auspiciously predict the future and simultaneously to permit the return of the dead. The woman recognizes pieces of herself as past objects indexed within photographic stills, but paradoxically, she is present, outside in this chaos trying not to fall apart. The images and their objects yawn to remind us of the reluctant destiny of all our beloved memories, bodies, and things: that is, to disintegrate.
Borrowing its title from a passage in The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald, Closer to Dust is a séance, a gathering of invitees: inherently biased elegies, the images that conjured them, and the reader- viewer in attendance who is warmly invited to order these intimate fragments into cohesion.

A Still Technique to Correct Upslipped Innominate Somatic Dysfunctions
Authors: Figueroa José S. , Juba Allison M. H. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Various techniques to address an upslipped innominate have been previously described in the literature, though none have illustrated a single Still technique to correct this dysfunction. This article describes the diagnosis of an upslipped innominate and correcting it by applying a Still technique.
The importance of addressing upslipped innominates is included, as well as a discussion on additional somatic dysfunctions that might make upslipped innominates difficult to resolve.
Advancing the Understanding and Treatment of the Thoracic Inlet and Incorporation of a New Still Technique—Part 1
Authors: Lewis Drew D. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The osteopathic profession has long emphasized the importance of improving homeostasis and overall health through the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). The respiratory-circulatory model seeks to achieve these goals by resolving somatic dysfunctions (SD) that may restrict venous and lymphatic return. One of the most significant somatic dysfunctions to address in this model is the thoracic inlet. Despite the emphasis on this somatic dysfunction, classic treatment approaches of the thoracic inlet remain some of the most challenging corrections.
In this article, an approach to somatic dysfunction of the thoracic inlet (SDTI) with a new application of Still technique principles is presented. This technique offers a safe, efficient, and effective treatment approach for patients who may present with substantial comorbidities. Considerations for difficult to correct SDTI are discussed. In addition, a more global approach is presented—with an awareness of the dynamic structural relationships and functionality of the region—to treat SDTI with enhanced success.
An Osteopathic Approach to Low Back Pain and Short Leg Syndrome in a Patient with Traumatic Brain Injury Following Motor Vehicle Crash: A Case Report
Authors: Lewis Drew D. , Summers Garth K. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
A 16-year-old boy suffered a traumatic brain injury in a motor vehicle collision with resulting subdural hematoma, post-traumatic seizures, headaches, and cognitive dysfunction. In addition, he experienced severe acute low back, neck, and hip pain. The patient’s pediatrician identified him as likely to benefit from osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), and he was subsequently referred to the Des Moines University (DMU) specialty care clinic for further evaluation and management.
The patient’s outpatient rehabilitation was impacted by multiple somatic dysfunctions and by onset of short leg syndrome. An OMM approach with direct techniques (muscle energy; low-velocity, moderate-amplitude; soft tissue), indirect techniques (counterstrain, Still, myofascial release), and cranial techniques were utilized to minimize his pain, maximize the neuromusculoskeletal recovery, and to assist in returning him to his prior level of functioning.
The acute nature of the injury and apparent new-onset leg length discrepancy allowed for a rapid correction with a heel lift and an ongoing OMM approach to address somatic dysfunction associated with the condition. After 5 treatments with OMM and use of the heel lift, the patient’s low back pain substantially improved, and his headaches completely resolved.
The Combined Shoulder Technique: A Novel Approach in the Treatment of Scapular Dysfunction—A Case Report
Authors: Kanze David M. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Athletes who throw overhead experience injuries to their throwing shoulders secondary to the mechanics of throwing.1 The process of throwing is a coordinated, complex set of movements known as the kinetic chain.1,2 Disruption anywhere about this chain can result in injury to the throwing shoulder.1–3 The scapula’s interaction with the thoracic cage allows for normal motion, and injury or imbalance of the scapular stabilizers can result in SICK scapular syndrome and this, in turn, can result in an injury to the glenohumeral joint itself.
Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can be utilized to restore the kinetic chain to its full function and to decrease SICK scapular syndrome, thereby preventing injury and treating it if it occurs. The present case will demonstrate this and introduce a novel technique to treat the entire shoulder joint.
Counterstrain as a Diagnostic and Treatment Tool for Rectus Femoris Origin Injuries: A Case Report
Authors: Goering Edward K. , Qiu Lisa 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Counterstrain (CS) is an osteopathic manipulative technique that utilizes indirect and passive positions of strained tissues to address musculoskeletal dysfunctions. As such, CS has potential as a treatment option for muscle strain injuries, such as rectus femoris origin (RFO) injuries. This case highlights an instance where the CS technique was used as an effective and inexpensive diagnostic tool to confirm the involvement of the reflected head of the rectus femoris muscle (RHRF) in an RFO injury.
The presentation of symptoms in this case, like many other hip pain cases, was nonspecific, making it difficult to diagnose without the use of advanced imaging techniques, which are often time consuming and costly for patients. The use of CS was able to support a diagnosis of a reflected head of the RFO injury. After an osteopathic structural examination, it was noted that the patient had multiple bilateral tender points of the anterior thoracic region and hip: anterior thoracic-10 (AT10), proximal psoas (PP, formerly abdominal lumbar 2), iliacus, and reflected head of the rectus femoris (RHRF).1 In his 1981 text, Jones referred to an anterior medial trochanter tender point that is similar to the RHRF point; however, the location was described to be more lateral, rather than inferior, to the anterior inferior iliac spine than the RHRF point.2 Once all tender points were identified, treatment using the CS technique was administered weekly over the period of a month, and the patient noted markedly reduced tenderness of the tender points treated and was able to reincorporate soccer and other athletic activities back into his life.
An Osteopathic Approach to Traumatically Induced Mechanical Dyspnea: A Case Report
Authors: Kanze David M. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Mechanical dyspnea (breathing pattern disorders), such as hyperventilation or hypoventilation, can result in increased pain and have negative mechanical, psychological, emotion, and biochemical effects.1,2,3 Proper breathing helps to stabilize the spine, maintain posture, and decrease anxiety. Injuries to the abdominal and pelvic diaphragms can disrupt proper breathing mechanics, leading to increased pain, anxiety, poor posture, and poor spinal and overall body mechanics. Osteopathic manipulative treatment can help restore proper diaphragmatic motion and proper breathing mechanics as the present case will demonstrate.
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine in the Era of the Single Accreditation System: Can the Past Guide the Way to the Future of OMM?
Authors: Kanze David M. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to evaluate the education of osteopathic physicians who integrate osteopathic manipulative medicine in practice and attempt to find key factors that might be viewed as best practices to be adopted by colleges of osteopathic medicine (COMs), Departments of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM), and postgraduate training programs; and 2) to evaluate if gross human anatomy was seen as valuable in OMM training.
A 31-question, online survey was distributed to English-speaking members of the American Academy of Osteopathy (AAO) in the United States from July through October of 2016. Of the 438 respondents, 325 (74.3%) reported having a mentor in osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) or osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) while in school. In addition, 270 (61.6%) had dedicated time to practice OMT while in school, with 186 (42.5%) practicing supervised in a school clinic, 340 (77.6%) practicing during an undergraduate rotation, and 244 (55.7%) practicing after school hours. Many of the mentees participated in several of the above activities. Chi square test was applied to participants who are Fellows of the American Academy of Osteopathy (FAAOs). This test revealed that 24 of 26 (92.3%) of FAAOs, who responded, had a mentor, a statistically significant relationship between having an OMT/OMM mentor and becoming an FAAO (P=.03).
Almost all survey participants (438 [99.5%]) had some type of gross anatomy while in medical school. The majority of respondents (321 [73.8%]) performed dissections, 81 (18.6%) had both prosection and dissections, 33 (7.6%) only had prosection, and 321 (73.8%) found that it was extremely helpful in their OMM training. In comparison, 341 respondents (78.2%) reported that gross anatomy was important to their specialty.
The survey clearly demonstrated that early exposure to an OMM mentor leads to increased use of OMT and OMM and that a strong foundation in gross human anatomy was found to be useful for physicians across specialty training, including OMM.

Abstract

Context
Asthma is a common chronic obstructive lung disease with increasing prevalence and economic burden. The effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) has been studied in patients with several lung diseases, including asthma; however, no clinical trials have studied effects beyond the immediate time period in adults with asthma using spirometry.

Objective
To examine the immediate, intermediate, and long-term effects of OMT on objective pulmonary function and subjective quality of life in asthmatic adults.

Methods
Twenty-five adults with asthma were recruited from the Des Moines University community. Standardized Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ(S)) surveys and spirometry measures including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), the FEV1/FVC ratio, and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were collected at baseline. Spirometry testing was performed immediately after and 3 days after each of 3 weekly standardized OMT sessions. Spirometry and AQLQ(S) surveys were collected again 4 weeks after the final OMT session. Spirometry results were analyzed using a repeated measure, linear mixed-effect model, and survey results were analyzed using paired t-tests.

Results
The study demonstrated statistically significant changes to the spirometry results, including the PEF and FEV1/FVC ratio. The PEF measurements increased 3 days after the first treatment and remained elevated through the completion of the study. The FEV1/FVC ratio decreased by 0.01 at 4 weeks post-OMT compared to baseline. There were no significant differences observed in the immediate, intermediate or long-term FEV1 and FVC measurements post-OMT. However, there was a significant increase in the overall score and all 4 domains of the AQLQ(S), including Symptoms, Activity Limitations, Emotional Function, and Environmental Stimuli.

Conclusion
The results of this pilot study suggest that OMT may improve the quality of life in adults with asthma. Spirometry testing revealed a significant change in some measures of pulmonary function and participants reported an improvement in asthma-specific quality of life. The authors suggest that, in combination with preventive measures and pharmacologic therapy, OMT may offer additional benefit in the treatment of adults with asthma. The results also suggest a need for further study of the effects of OMT on respiratory function in asthmatic adults.
Integrating Osteopathic Evaluation and Treatment in a Case of Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia
Authors: Rosendahl Nicolette O. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
This paper reviews a multimodal approach to the treatment of acute pain. Early recognition of systemic changes in pain indicators may be efficacious for the patient and practitioner to understand the subjective pain response. The application of osteopathic manipulative medicine may be beneficial during de-escalation therapy of opioid pain medication when the patient is experiencing symptoms consistent with opioid-induced hyperalgesia syndrome. Improved education and recognition of opioid-induced hyperalgesia can potentially improve medical management with the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment.

Introduction: Active surveillance (AS) is increasingly used for favorable intermediate-risk (FIR) prostate cancer (PCa). Our objective was to determine oncological and sociodemographic predictors of deferred definitive therapy and decision for radical prostatectomy (RP) vs. radiotherapy (XRT).
Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Prostate with Watchful Waiting database was used to identify all FIR PCa diagnosed between 2010 and 2015 opting for AS for at least one year following diagnosis. We sought to determine predictors of treatment and treatment type using multivariable logistic regression.
Results: A total of 20 334 patients were identified. An annual decrease in incident FIR patients managed initially with AS between 2010 (4061) and 2015 (2947) was noted (p for trend <0.001); 17 895 (88.0%) patients underwent deferred RP and/or XRT. Patients with higher baseline cancer volume and clinical stage were significantly more likely to discontinue AS. Patients of higher socioeconomic status were more likely to undergo deferred therapy, with increased odds for XRT over RP. African American patients had lower odds of undergoing definitive intervention (odds ratio 0.83, p=0.030) and were significantly more likely to opt for XRT. Oncological characteristics leading to FIR classification influenced treatment choice at the time of deferred intervention: XRT was treatment of choice in 86.3% and 86.0% of Gleason group 2 and PSA 10–20 FIR patients, respectively; 96.1% of treated cT2b-c FIR patients opted for RP.
Conclusions: Most FIR PCa patients initially managed with AS eventually undergo deferred definitive therapy, with choice of treatment significantly influenced by patients’ baseline oncological and sociodemographic characteristics.
