VBI is a term utilized to describe a reduction in blood flow to the vertebral and basilar arteries that supply the posterior cerebral system.

Current therapies include addressing underlying performance issues, resistance training, and/or nutritional strategies. However, these approaches have significant limitations, and chronic inflammation associated with sarcopenia may blunt the anabolic response to exercise and nutrition. This presents an unmet need for treatment strategies that promote gains in muscle function. One such possibility is soft tissue manipulation (STM), which is a noninvasive, nonpharmacological mechanotherapy employed by osteopathic physicians, physiotherapists, and massage therapists, wherein soft tissues are subjected to mechanical forces delivered by hand or by an instrument.

The National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) changed the core reports for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step-1 to Pass/Fail in early 2020. Subsequently, residency program directors were reported to migrate toward increased reliance on COMLEX-USA Level 2CE and USMLE Step 2CK scores, the prestige of medical schools, and the status of the authors of letters of reference during their review of residency applicants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;Funded by an American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) research grant, A.T. Still University - Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (ATSU-KCOM) and the Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (ARCOM) generated a series of five hypotheses to investigate the perceived impact of the transition to Pass/Fail scoring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Both institutional review boards (IRBs) provided exempt status for this study. The hypotheses were examined through surveys distributed to current osteopathic medical students (OMS), recent graduates (classes of 2021 and 2022), academic advisors, and college of osteopathic medicine (COM) curriculum committee members in this cohort study. The investigative process consisted of two surveys: an initial survey to collect data on all five hypotheses and a focused, follow-up survey designed to better understand the impact of the scoring change. The surveys collected respondent feedback based on a Likert Scale. Standard descriptive statistics were assembled and analyzed. Qualitative responses were coded into thematic elements to examine response patterns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The initial survey collected responses from 302 respondents (23.2 % response rate) based on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The survey results revealed the means for the following items based on a 4-point Likert scale (1=Strongly Disagree; 2=Disagree; 3=Agree; 4=Strongly Agree): (1) Increase chances of matching into residency: 2.35; (2) Pass/Fail is a positive change: 2.71; (3) Pass/Fail will reduce competition in competitive residency programs: 1.94; (4) clinical skills will be more strongly considered: 2.60; and (5) new score reports provide a robust analysis of strengths and weaknesses in basic science: 2.24. Almost half (46 %) of the respondents expressed negative sentiments toward the Pass/Fail change.

Patients typically present with a triad of short neck, low posterior hairline, and limited cervical range of motion. The location and quantity of vertebral fusions in KFS makes airway management challenging in the field of anesthesia. Anesthesiologists select intubation methods based on perceived difficulty, making this paper essential to the field.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>The purpose of this study is to analyze first-attempt intubation success rates of KFS patients by intubation technique and stratified by location and quantity of cervical fusions and a Mallampati score if reported.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This is a systematic review of all case reports on PubMed in the last 10 years utilizing the keywords \"KFS,\" and subsequently screened searching \"anesthesia\" and \"intubation.\" Examiners reviewed the remaining 27 articles for fusion abnormalities and intubation techniques utilized. The articles detail fiberoptic, direct, laryngeal mask airway (LMA), and video-guided intubation techniques, and the success rates were analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the 1234 KFS articles found, 657 were case reports with 157 being in the last 10 years. After review, 27 case reports presenting 30 cases were included. The average age reported was 25.4 ± 21.6 and 73.3 % were female. Direct (n=10), fiberoptic (n=12), video-guided (n=6), and LMA (n=2) were the chosen first-attempt intubation maneuvers. Fiberoptic and video-guided intubations reported 83 % success, while direct and LMA reported 50 % success. Higher success rates were found in patients with two cervical segment fusions (70 %) when compared to three or more fusions (33 %). Inferior vertebral fusions (C5-T1) reported higher success than midcervical fusions (C3-C5), 100 % and 33 %, respectively. Mallampati class 4 had the highest success (100 %), although further analysis showed fiberoptic intubation was utilized in each of these cases, skewing the data.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Fiberoptic and video-guided intubation in KFS patients offers the highest success rates of intubation. There were limitations in this study due to the number of case reports available. Although there may be confounding variables to consider based on the case presentation and surgery performed, fiberoptic endotracheal intubation should be considered the gold standard when intubating KFS patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":36050,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Osteopathic Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143459934","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}
