Sediment size on talus slopes correlates with fracture spacing on bedrock cliffs: implications for predicting initial sediment size distributions on hillslopes
Authors: Verdian Joseph P. , Sklar Leonard S. , Riebe Clifford S. , Moore Jeffrey R. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The detachment of rock fragments from fractured bedrock on hillslopes creates sediment with an initial size distribution that sets the upper limits
on particle size for all subsequent stages in the evolution of sediment in landscapes. We hypothesize that the initial size distribution should
depend on the size distribution of latent sediment (i.e., fracture-bound blocks in unweathered bedrock) and weathering of blocks both before and
during detachment (e.g., disintegration along crystal grain boundaries). However, the initial size distribution is difficult to measure because the
interface across which sediment is produced is often shielded from view by overlying soil. Here we overcome this limitation by comparing fracture
spacings measured from exposed bedrock on cliff faces with particle size distributions in adjacent talus deposits at 15 talus–cliff pairs spanning a
wide range of climates and lithologies in California. Median fracture spacing and particle size vary by more than 10-fold and correlate strongly
with lithology. Fracture spacing and talus size distributions are also closely correlated in central tendency, spread, and shape, with b-axis
diameters showing the closest correspondence with fracture spacing at most sites. This suggests that weathering has not modified latent sediment
either before or during detachment from the cliff face. In addition, talus at our sites has not undergone much weathering after deposition and is
slightly coarser than the latent sizes because it contains unexploited fractures inherited from bedrock. We introduce a new conceptual framework
for understanding the relative importance of latent size and weathering in setting initial sediment size distributions in mountain landscapes. In
this framework, hillslopes exist on a spectrum defined by the ratio of two characteristic timescales: the residence time in saprolite and weathered
bedrock and the time required to detach a particle of a characteristic size. At one end of the spectrum, where weathering residence times are
negligible, the latent size distribution can be used to predict the initial size distribution. At the other end of the spectrum, where weathering
residence times are long, the latent size distribution can be erased by weathering in the critical zone.

Published: August 2021

Abstract. The impact of the assimilation of HFR (high-frequency radar) observations in a high-resolution regional model is evaluated, focusing on the improvement of the mesoscale dynamics. The study area is the Ibiza Channel, located in the western Mediterranean Sea. The resulting fields are tested against trajectories from 13 drifters. Six different assimilation experiments are compared to a control run (no assimilation). The experiments consist of assimilating (i) sea surface temperature, sea level anomaly, and Argo profiles (generic observation dataset); the generic observation dataset plus (ii) HFR total velocities and (iii) HFR radial velocities. Moreover, for each dataset, two different initialization methods are assessed: (a) restarting directly from the analysis after the assimilation or (b) using an intermediate initialization step applying a strong nudging towards the analysis fields. The experiments assimilating generic observations plus HFR total velocities with the direct restart provide the best results, reducing by 53 % the average separation distance between drifters and virtual particles after the first 48 h of simulation in comparison to the control run. When using the nudging initialization step, the best results are found when assimilating HFR radial velocities with a reduction of the mean separation distance by around 48 %. Results show that the integration of HFR observations in the data assimilation system enhances the prediction of surface currents inside the area covered by both antennas, while not degrading the correction achieved thanks to the assimilation of generic data sources beyond it.
The assimilation of radial observations benefits from the smoothing effect associated with the application of the intermediate nudging step.
Rapid and accurate polarimetric radar measurements of ice crystal fabric orientation at the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core site

Published: August 2021

Abstract. The crystal orientation fabric (COF) of ice sheets records the past history of
ice sheet deformation and influences present-day ice flow dynamics. Though not
widely implemented, coherent ice-penetrating radar is able to detect bulk
anisotropic fabric patterns by exploiting the birefringence of ice crystals at
radar frequencies, with the assumption that one of the crystallographic axes
is aligned in the vertical direction. In this study, we conduct a suite of
quad-polarimetric measurements consisting of four orthogonal antenna
orientation combinations near the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide
ice core site. From these measurements, we are able to quantify the azimuthal
fabric asymmetry at this site to a depth of 1400 m at a
bulk-averaged resolution of up to 15 m. Our estimates of fabric
asymmetry closely match corresponding fabric estimates directly measured from
the WAIS Divide ice core. While ice core studies are often unable to determine
the absolute fabric orientation due to core rotation during extraction, we are
able to identify and conclude that the fabric orientation is depth-invariant
to at least 1400 m, equivalent to 6700 years BP (years before
1950) and aligns closely with the modern surface strain direction at WAIS
Divide. Our results support the claim that the deformation regime at WAIS
Divide has not changed substantially through the majority of the
Holocene. Rapid polarimetric determination of bulk fabric asymmetry and
orientation compares well with much more laborious sample-based COF
measurements from thin ice sections. Because it is the bulk-averaged fabric
that ultimately influences ice flow, polarimetric radar methods provide an
opportunity for its accurate and widespread mapping and its incorporation into
ice flow models.

Palpatory and Ultrasound Assessment of Cervical Dysfunctions and the Effect of Cervical High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude (HVLA) Technique
Authors: Flaum Theodore B. , Mirza Arfa , Rusnack Frances Mary-Ann , Apoznanski Theresa E. , Munarova Aida , Mazzie Joseph , Terzella Michael John , Yao Sheldon C. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract

Background
Ultrasound is commonly used to assess musculoskeletal abnormalities. High-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) is an osteopathic manipulative treatment technique commonly used by osteopathic physicians. The Shaw et al study has shown the reliability of ultrasound in measuring the improvement of rotational symmetry of lumbar somatic dysfunction (SD) after the use of HVLA.

Objectives
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of ultrasonography as a reference tool to quantitatively assess the rotational symmetry of cervical SD after the use of HVLA.

Design
The study was separated into 2 phases: 1) cervical diagnosis and pretreatment imaging and 2) HVLA or cranial vault hold (CVH) and post-treatment imaging.

Method
Two physicians independently diagnosed each participant (N = 51) with an SD between levels C2–C7; the key SD (the segment with the most posteriorly rotated articular pillar (AP)) was chosen. Ultrasound imaging was performed immediately after diagnosis. Next, the participants were randomly distributed into a treatment group, in which the participants were treated with HVLA, and a control group, in which a CVH was performed on the participant. Members of the HVLA group were then reassessed to confirm the key SD had resolved. Ultrasound imaging was immediately performed at the level of the segment with the key SD after HVLA reassessment or CVH completion.

Results
Physician reassessment confirmed SD resolution in 25 of 25 HVLA participants and 0 of 26 control participants. There was no significant change in ultrasound-measured AP rotation for the HVLA group (M=.05680 cm, P=.179) or control group (M=.02384 cm, P=.160).

Conclusions
Despite a palpatory resolution of the cervical SD, ultrasound was not able to determine a statistically significant change in AP rotation in either the HVLA or the control group.
Osteopathic Evaluation and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Approach in a Patient With Myelopathy and Tetraparesis Related to Cervical Ependymoma: A Case Report
Authors: Lewis Drew D. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Neck pain with associated upper limb symptomatology presents commonly in primary care, musculoskeletal specialty, and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) clinics. Thorough evaluation to determine the presence of red flags prior to providing treatment is a prerequisite for OMM providers.
In the present case report, a 48-year-old right-hand-dominant woman with chronic neck pain and weakness in the left arm was found to have cervical myelopathy due to intramedullary ependymoma. Urgent surgical consultation facilitated appropriate spinal decompression followed by in-patient rehabilitation.
To the author’s knowledge, this is the first case reported involving the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in the sub-acute rehabilitation phase following spinal cord tumor surgical decompression.

Published: August 2021

Abstract

Context:
Menstruation, although a normal physiologic process, can result in cramping and discomfort in women. The symptomatology may manifest as musculoskeletal changes that can be identified and addressed to provide relief for suffering patients.

Objective:
To evaluate for common somatic dysfunctions and Chapman’s reflex points by performing full-body osteopathic structural exams (OSE) on women during menstruation compared to when they are not menstruating.

Methods:
Participants were menstruating, female faculty, staff and students recruited from Kansas City University. Data was gathered in the form of OSE findings from 2 intervals of menstruation and compared to data gathered from 2 intervals of non-menstruation.
Each participant was evaluated at 4 visits: visit 1 during menstruation, visit 2 during non-menstruation, visit 3 during their subsequent cycle of menstruation, and visit 4 during their subsequent cycle of non-menstruation. At each visit, the participant was evaluated separately by the fellow and the physician.

Results:
Of the 32 potential participants, 23 completed the study. In this population, 23 participants (100%) had a lumbar somatic dysfunction during one menstrual cycle, with only 14 (60.9%) having a lumbar dysfunction during non-menstruation (P=0.004). Of the 5 posterior Chapman’s reflex points evaluated, 17 participants (73.9%) had at least 1 of the Chapman’s points with dysfunction during 1 menstruation cycle compared to only 10 participants (43.5%) during non-menstruation (P=0.039). Three participants (13%) were found to have a left-sided innominate dysfunction during 1 menstrual cycle compared to only 1 participant (4%) having a left-sided innominate dysfunction during non-menstruation (P&lt;0.001).

Conclusion:
This study found 3 common areas of dysfunction in menstruating women that could be targeted by physicians for evaluation and treatment: the lumbar spine, the left innominate, and two posterior Chapman’s points. These findings aid in closing the gap from previously published data regarding the presence of somatic dysfunction in women during menstruation.
Integrating Osteopathic Evaluation and Treatment in a Case Report of Acute Chest Pain
Authors: Yao Sheldon. C. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Chest pain is an emergent presentation associated with a wide differential diagnosis including cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal origins. The evaluation of acute chest pain can be costly and can be a financial burden on the health care system. Integrating osteopathic diagnosis and treatment can assist with identifying and alleviating potential musculoskeletal sources of pain. This case illustrates how applying osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) benefited a 61-year-old woman presenting with anterior chest wall pain.
Patient response to OMM can assist physicians with better managing acute chest wall pain syndromes. Improved musculoskeletal education can potentially improve medical management of chest pain of musculoskeletal origin.
Osteopathic Approach for Lateral Knee Pain Caused by Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors: Kostanjevec Juilett , Fleming Regina K. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) is one of the most common causes of lateral knee pain in athletes.1,2 Conservative management has been with ice, modified activity, stretching, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and/or corticosteroid injections.3–6 This treatment regimen has been effective in most, but not all.3,7
This report describes a patient with chronic lateral knee pain caused by ITBFS unresolved with both conservative and surgical management. The patient presented with multiple lower extremity dysfunctions, and correcting these dysfunctions resolved the lateral knee pain. Therefore, osteopathic manipulative treatment applied to the lower extremity is a valid consideration for conservative management of lateral knee pain caused by ITBFS.
An Osteopathic Approach to Post-Partum Low Back Pain: A Case Report
Authors: Mehner Thomas R. , Lewis Drew D. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract&gt;
Low back pain is a common occurrence in pregnant and non-pregnant patients. Pregnancy causes many anatomic and physiologic changes in the body and invariably leads to altered stresses on the musculoskeletal system. These alterations in the body can persist into the post-partum period as somatic dysfunctions. This case report outlines the importance of an osteopathic approach to address somatic dysfunctions related to low back pain of the pregnant and/or post-partum patient.
A 39-year-old female presented with low back pain that was exacerbated by her pregnancy, which has continued into the post-partum period. She was found to have significant somatic dysfunctions related to her condition. An osteopathic approach was utilized to relieve her low back pain and improve her function with all the duties required to care for a newborn.
The Effect of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment on Proprioception in Adults: A Pilot Study
Authors: Hoevemeyer Krista , Teng Kai Yuan , Mehner Thomas , McMunn Ryan , Figueroa Jose , Jie Chunfa 
Published: August 2021

Abstract

Introduction:
This study aims to investigate if proprioception is the mechanism through which osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) corrects somatic dysfunctions. OMT focuses on resolving structural asymmetry in the body that may interfere with physiologic function, including proprioception. Multiple theories have been proposed regarding the physiologic mechanisms of OMT and the effect on proprioception, with few studies objectively establishing a connection.

Hypothesis:
Significant change in measurements of proprioception was expected in the treatment group (OMT) over the 4-week period.

Methods:
For the study, 35 adults recruited from the Des Moines University community were randomized equally into treatment and control groups. For 3 weeks, the treatment group received weekly osteopathic structural exams (OSE) and OMT, while the control group underwent the same OSE but without treatment. Proprioception was assessed using force plate measurements collected during two-leg and single-leg tests prior to the first intervention, immediately after the first intervention, and 1 week after last intervention. Measurements included anterior-posterior sway, medial-lateral sway, average velocity, area, path length and time, which were analyzed with a linear model of mixed effects for repeated measures to account for the fixed effects (time and treatments), interaction effects and the random subject effects.

Results:
Over the 4-week period, significant differences were found for 4 measurements: two-leg eyes-open-path-length (p=0.0342), two-leg eyes-open-average-velocity (p=0.0334), single-right-leg eyes-open-average-velocity (p=0.0145), and single-right-leg eyes-closed-medial-lateral-sway (p=0.0488).

Conclusion:
Certain measurements of proprioception changed in an adult population over a 4-week course with 3 weekly OMT treatments. These results indicate OMT may be altering proprioception through the correction of somatic dysfunctions. Our results suggest a need for further research investigating the effects of OMT on proprioception in symptomatic populations and larger sample sizes.

Acoustic radiation force imaging (ARFI) in the non-distended bladder does not predict abnormal urodynamic parameters in children
Authors: Streur Courtney S. , Smith Ethan A. , Dillman Jonathan R. , Kraft Kate H. 
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Acoustic radiation force imaging (ARFI) is a recently developed form of ultrasound imaging that allows in-vivo measurement of tissue stiffness. This technology could be useful at predicting bladder compliance in children. We hypothesize that tissue stiffness, as measured by ARFI, correlates with abnormal bladder compliance and capacity in patients with bladder dysfunction.
Methods: Patients who presented for cystometrography (CMG) underwent ARFI of the bladder wall. Nine bladder wall shear wave speed (SWS) measurements were acquired using point and 2D ultrasound shear wave elastography. The mean for each ARFI technique was correlated to bladder compliance, calculated using Wahl’s dimensionless number. ARFI parameters also were correlated with bladder capacity.
Results: A total of 25 patients were enrolled. Mean age at time of enrollment was 4.23.9 years (range: 2 months to 15 years). There was no significant correlation between bladder compliance and point shear wave speed measurements (r=-0.22, p=0.31) or 2D shear wave speed measurements (r =-0.35, p=0.1). A total of 19 patients had bladder capacity below EBC. There was no significant correlation between bladder capacity and point shear wave speed measurements (r =-0.08, p=0.7) or 2D shear wave speed measurements (r=-0.36, p=0.09).
Conclusions: Our results did not demonstrate a significant correlation between bladder wall ARFI shear wave measurements and bladder compliance or bladder capacity. Further studies are warranted to determine whether ARFI may be used to predict abnormal urodynamic parameters in children.
