Mostafa","doi":"10.7556/jaoa.2020.142","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7556/jaoa.2020.142","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Context In 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a warning regarding the use of azithromycin and the risk of fatal dysrhythmias after a 14-year retrospective analysis showed increased risk of cardiovascular-related death in patients who had taken a 5-day course of azithromycin compared with those who took amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, or no antibiotics. At the authors’ institution, pneumonia is the most common diagnosis for which azithromycin is used as a treatment for patients who are hospitalized. Objective To compare corrected QT (QTc) interval measurements on electrocardiogram (ECG) before and after inpatient azithromycin treatment for pneumonia. Methods The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 642 patients age 18 years and older who were diagnosed with pneumonia and treated with azithromycin at an academic teaching hospital between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. Patients who had an ECG performed both before and after azithromycin treatment were included and divided into 2 groups: those who had 1 dose of azithromycin (Group 1) and those who had 2 doses (Group 2). Patients were excluded if they had a baseline QTc interval on initial ECG greater than or equal to 500 ms, any signs of ischemia or myocardial infarction, any initial dysrhythmia or underlying ECG abnormalities, or absence of pre- and post-ECG results. Outcomes measures included a comparison of QTc intervals on ECG before and after azithromycin, and an analysis of the percentage of patients with a QTc interval measurement greater than 500 ms on ECG after azithromycin treatment. Our primary outcome measurement was the QTc interval measurement on ECG before and after azithromycin in patients treated with azithromycin for community acquired pneumonia. Our secondary outcome measurement was the percentage of patients with a QTc interval measurement of greater than 500 ms on ECG after azithromycin treatment. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to evaluate repeated QTc measures of our primary outcome in Group 1 and Group 2. Our secondary outcome was reported as a percentage of total patients with a QTc interval of greater than 500 ms after azithromycin doses on ECG. Results Of 642 patients, 142 had available pre- and post-EGC results available; 100 were included in Group 1 (1 dose) and 42 in Group 2 (2 doses). Mean QTc interval differences after 1 dose of azithromycin exhibited an increase compared to baseline values (424 vs 477 ms). A Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a significant QTc prolongation after 1 dose of azithromycin (mean rank, 43.76; Z=−4.921; P<.001). QTc interval differences after 2 doses of azithromycin did not reach statistical significance when compared to baseline values (422 vs 444 ms). A total of 10 patients (10%) in Group 1 and 4 patients (9.5%) in Group 2 had a QTc interval >500 ms after azithromycin. There were no documented dysrhythmias during hospitalization in this study period.

Current nonoperative treatment options are limited in efficacy and lack evidence of long-term pain relief; thus, there is an unmet clinical need for an effective treatment for patients with discogenic pain. Amniotic membrane and umbilical cord (AMUC) particulate may be useful in relieving pain and inhibiting the degenerative cascade in patients with discogenic pain by reducing inflammation. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of AMUC particulate for discogenic pain. Methods Six months of conservative therapy failed in patients who had discogenic pain confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and provocative discography. They subsequently received intradiskal injection of 50 to 100 mg of AMUC particulate for cervical, lumbar, and lumbosacral disks. Results A total of 11 patients with 20 disks were included. Before treatment, all patients reported severe pain, and 10 patients took opioids daily. After treatment, the median reported pain relief was 40%, 50%, and 75% at 1-month (n=6), 3 months (n=8), and 6 months (n=5), respectively. Complete pain relief was noted in 1 patient; however, 2 patients (18%) reported no pain relief at 1 and 3 months. No adverse events, repeated procedures, or complications occurred. Conclusion This preliminary evidence suggests that a single intradiskal injection of AMUC particulate is safe and may provide symptomatic pain relief in some patients with discogenic pain.","PeriodicalId":16639,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Osteopathic Medicine Journal of Osteopathic Medicine","volume":"70 1","pages":"814 - 819"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84447974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The crisis has been cultivated in academic journals, driven by the medical-pharmaceutical complex, and fueled by campaigns representing the most prestigious health care organizations and advocacy groups. Comprehensive guidelines for proper prescribing have been released in addition to state-sponsored prescription drug–monitoring programs (PDMPs) in response to overprescribing habits. When considering opioid treatment for a patient, physicians should document a thorough history of pain, give an appropriate physical examination, and complete a risk assessment using the proper diagnostic tools. Considering the osteopathic philosophy and approach to chronic pain, physicians should account for an integrative treatment approach for improved patient outcomes when considering applying the osteopathic philosophy to chronic pain management. A successful treatment plan can integrate cognitive behavioral therapy and promote self-healing by treating somatic dysfunctions with osteopathic manipulative treatment. This literature review discusses how to treat patients with chronic pain and how to properly use and prescribe opioids. The researchers analyzed the history and current status of the opioid epidemic, examined opioid management in the outpatient setting, reviewed the current domestic and international opioid prescribing guidelines, and discussed the incorporation of the osteopathic philosophy to manage chronic pain.","PeriodicalId":16639,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Osteopathic Medicine Journal of Osteopathic Medicine","volume":"23 1","pages":"820 - 832"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81777712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective To determine the scope of conditions being managed with OMT and describe the characteristics of patients who receive OMT. Methods Researchers conducted a longitudinal, observational study on the use and effectiveness of OMT at 17 clinics where clinicians (ie, osteopathic and allopathic physicians and Canadian-trained osteopaths) provided OMT. Adult patients receiving OMT completed questionnaires immediately before, immediately after, and daily for 7 days after treatment. Data collected from patients included demographic information, chief complaint(s) and their severity, and health-related quality of life. Physical examination findings, treatment, and medical diagnosis documentation were extracted from medical records. Census data were used to assess whether patients were representative of the population of the county where the clinic was located. Results Data were collected from 927 patients at 1924 office visits. A majority of patients were women (690 [75%]), white (854 [96%]), and not Hispanic or Latinx (707 [95%]). The mean (SD) age was 51.9 (15.9) years. When compared with census data, the sample had higher percentages of women, people aged 65 years and older, people who identified as white, people who were high school and college graduates, and people with higher household incomes than that of the county population. The most common chief complaints from patients were pain or discomfort in the lower back (311 [34%]) and neck (277 [30%]), which corresponded with the most common medical diagnoses. Patients reported that OMT, surgery, and medications were the most helpful treatments they had used previously for their chief complaint(s). Before receiving OMT, patients’ health-related quality of life was significantly worse (P≤.05) than that of the general US population. Conclusions Adult patients receiving OMT are being treated primarily for musculoskeletal pain conditions, are not representative of the population of the county where the clinic was located, and have worse health-related quality of life than that of the general population. Information about the characteristics of patients who use OMT is important for defining osteopathic distinctiveness and identifying potential areas for increasing the use of OMT.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the 2015 Solano County Medi-Cal prescribing policy, gain insight into the patient experience of undergoing opioid tapering, and generate hypotheses for further study. Methods Using a case series approach, researchers completed medical record reviews of affiliated clinical records, Solano County Vital Statistics, and California's prescription monitoring program in 2018. After exclusions, eligible patients were asked to participate in a comprehensive qualitative interview. Results Medical record reviews of 38 patients found the majority were not using opioids using them at a morphine equivalent dose of 90 mg or less. The reviews also found that mental illness and obesity prevalence were higher than Solano county baseline levels. Furthermore, naloxone was not prescribed to any of the 38 patients. Researchers reached 15 of the 38 patients by phone, and ultimately 6 completed the interview process. Themes and emergent concepts from interviews identified a lack of empathetic connection with health care professionals, poor understanding of overdose risks, persistent pain, and confirmed naloxone underuse. Conclusion Safer prescribing policies may take multiple years to fully implement and need to be employed across the jurisdiction to minimize doctor-shopping and adverse effects on patients with chronic pain. Approaching pain management through the social-ecological model can address potential root causes of addiction and establish a framework for doctors to provide compassionate care, community leadership, and advocacy for these patients.","PeriodicalId":16639,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Osteopathic Medicine Journal of Osteopathic Medicine","volume":"37 1","pages":"793 - 801"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73171026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Opioid use is also associated with serious risks, including overdose and death. A growing body of evidence suggests that opioids are involved in significant drug interactions that often go unrecognized in clinical practice. Understanding opioid-involved drug interactions is of great practical importance for all health care professionals caring for patients with chronic pain. In this article, we describe the mechanisms of opioid-involved drug interactions and their potential consequences, which have major public health implications. Additionally, this article provides practical strategies to aid health care professionals in avoiding and mitigating opioid-involved drug interactions in order to obtain a favorable balance in the risk-benefit ratio associated with opioid use. These strategies include using osteopathic principles for chronic pain management, separating the times of administration of the opioid(s) from the nonopioid(s) involved in the interaction, changing the opioid(s) adversely affected by the interaction, changing the nonopioid(s) causing the interaction, and partnering with pharmacists in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":16639,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Osteopathic Medicine Journal of Osteopathic Medicine","volume":"87 1","pages":"839 - 847"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75852215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
