Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: Revolutionizing Healthcare for Improved Patient Outcomes

by Mehta V.

Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a groundbreaking technology with the potential to transform various sectors, and the field of medicine is no exception. With its ability to process vast amounts of data and perform complex tasks, AI has begun to revolutionize healthcare, offering promising avenues for diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. In this editorial article, we will explore the significant impact of AI in medicine, highlighting its potential benefits and the challenges that lie ahead.

Low back pain oswestry disability index changes following 8-week movement proficiency exercise program – A retrospective cohort study

by Williams B., Johnson D.

Summary: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a worldwide epidemic, with a prevalence rate of 75–84% in developed countries. With the prevalence increasing, health-care professionals must question current best practice guidelines. In 2014, spinal neurosurgeon and back pain rehabilitation specialist Dr. David Johnson developed a unique back pain rehabilitation program referred to as NearoHAB®. The program’s uniqueness is founded on the principle that effective rehabilitation must eliminate the root cause of pain symptoms. The NeuroHAB® 8-week Movement therapy program aims to reverse movement dysfunction by restoring central nervous system-derived motor patterns based on proficient spinopelvic biomechanics for bending activities of daily living. To date, no other rehabilitation methodology adopts a movement dysfunction cause-based clinical model for back pain symptoms or includes a framework for what healthy lumbar pelvic movement should resemble. Over the course of the 8-week program, each participant is gradually upskilled, developing new default movement proficiency and improved biomechanics, in efforts to downregulate pain, improve disability, and increase functional movement capacity, creating a positive feedback loop for further progress. The leading question of this study is “How does functional movement-based therapy impact chronic low back pain?” Ten sets of participant details were selected at random and retrieved from the NeuroHAB® 8-week program database of 2020. All participants presented with CLBP, and two oswestry disability index (ODI) scores were documented – the first at the beginning of the 8-week program, and the second after the NeuroHAB® intervention. ODI scores were collated and the pre- and post-program results were measured and compared quantitatively through a paired t-test to determine the statistical significance of improvement. Results showed a two-tailed P=0.05 indicating that there was a significant difference between the pre- and post-data (0.0024). The pre- and post-group intervention ODI means were 25.80 and 13.30, respectively, resulting in a difference of 12.50 (95% CI: 5.73–19.27); determining the mean data between the pre- and post-intervention decreased by 48.4496%. The results from this study support the alternative hypothesis, concluding an 8-week intervention of functional movement therapy represented by NeuroHAB® results in a significant reduction of LBP ODI scores

Editorial

Outcome of the first health skills simulation laboratory in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia

by Fatani M., Khan A., Albokhari​ A.

Summary: Simulation advanced medical education and medical personnel evaluation across the world.[1] For improving the healthcare skills of medical staff and clinical performance of health-care practitioners, the Ministry of Health issued a budget of three million Saudi Riyals to establish the first clinical skills and simulation center in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in Makkah, at the beginning of 2003. The objectives were to establish a state-of-the-art simulation laboratory to improve the clinical performance of health-care practitioners, facilitate consistent formal clinical training, overcome the difficulties encountered by practitioners in actual practice in either the pre- or post-graduate period, and provide jobs through specialized training and education.

A novel approach of harvesting concentrated plasma-rich fibrin (PRF) with increased platelet count

by Ragunanthan N Devi​ C A., Hemavani V

Summary: The study concludes that protocol 1 was more efficient in harvesting platelets with less concentration of leukocytes, which is considered more suitable for various medical applications.

Case Report

The clinical and subjective outcomes associated with spinal manipulation: A case study

by Williams​ B.

Summary: Spinal manipulation (SM) has been documented to have various physiological effects, of which the research literature has started to reflect over the past decade. This case study was designed with intent to further investigate these findings. A 31 year old woman with experience of lifting weights and working a very physical job presented with ipsilateral right-sided lower neck and shoulder pain (C7-T4, right trapezius, and right scapula area) and bilateral low back pain (L1-L5 and S.I joint area). Following the examination, a differential diagnosis list was decided on with the input of multiple doctors and therapists. The primary treatment was SM over a time span of 6 months. The patient displayed significant results. Objective testing through a follow-up range of motion (ROM) examination showed an increase in ROM and a spinal examination presented a reduction in local muscle tightness. In addition, subjectively, the patient reported a significant reduction in pain, an increase in movement confidence, and ability. The results of this case study suggest that SM in conjunction with patient education has a significant positive effect on the patient’s reduction of pain, local muscle tightness and increase in ROM, and patient movement ability and confidence. Further studies are required to isolate the specific effects of SM in a high-powered study and clinical setting.
