Clinical studies showed that LPT plus antibiotic treatment enhances the recovery of pneumonia infections. Animal studies from our lab demonstrate that LPT significantly enhances thoracic and mesenteric lymph flow, mobilizes leukocytes from the gastrointestinal lymphoid tissue (GALT) into lymph circulation, and significantly increases the lymphatic flux of leukocytes, cytokines, chemokines, superoxide dismutase and reactive nitrogen species in lymph. We hypothesize that by increasing lymph flow, LPT can enhance immunity and drug delivery during pneumonia. Methods: To test this hypothesis rats were nasally infected with 1x108 Streptococcus pneumoniae colony forming units (CFU's) on day zero. Twenty-four hours post-infection, rats were randomized into control, sham, LPT, control plus 40 mg/kg (subcutaneous) levofloxacin, sham plus 40 mg/kg levofloxacin or LPT plus 40 mg/kg levofloxacin. Rats received treatment once daily for three consecutive days. Sham and LPT were applied as previously described. On day four post-infection, lungs were removed and bacteria were enumerated. Results: Three daily treatments of LPT significantly reduced (p<0.05) S. pneumoniae CFU's in the lung compared to control and sham. All Levofloxacin treated groups significantly reduced (p<0.05) S. pneumoniae CFU's compared to control, sham, and LPT. LPT plus Levofloxacin significantly reduced (p<0.01) S. pneumoniae CFU's compared to all treatment groups. These results suggest that LPT protects against pneumonia. Conclusions: Our study suggests that as a complementary therapy to antibiotics, LPT can enhance the clearance of bacteria from the lungs. In future studies, we will determine if LPT enhances the delivery of levofloxacin to the lung by measuring the concentration of levofloxacin in the serum and bronchiolar alveolar lung fluid (BALF). The results provide scientific support for the clinical use of LPT as a complementary therapy for the treatment of pneumonia.Item Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting(2008-05-01) Schrick-Senasac, Simon L.; Hollis King; Kimberly Fulda; Monte TroutmanSchrick-Senasac, Simon L., Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting. Masters of Science (Clinical Research and Education, Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine), May, 2008, 95 pp., 9 tables, 7 illustrations, bibliography, 68 titles. Purpose: Despite advances, no therapy has been able to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). This pilot study sought to evaluate the effect of osteopathic manipulation on PONV and to assess the feasibility for reproduction. Methods: Individuals undergoing anesthesia were recruited as subjects. Seventeen subjects completed the study – eight receiving treatment, nine as controls. Nausea and pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores as well as vital signs were collected periodically throughout the study. A post-discharge survey was completed 1 day following treatment. Results: There was no overall reduction of PONV; early emesis was reduced as were 30-minute and peak nausea VAS scores. Additional analysis found pain VAS scores less elevated in treated subjects than controls. This was accompanied by reduced utilization of analgesics following surgery. Conclusions: Incidence of PONV was universally low, likely due to widespread phrophylaxis. Reduction of pain corresponds with research linking manipulation to modulation of neuroendocrine systems. This study demonstrated potential and feasibility for larger reproduction.Item Osteopathy(Williams Publishing Co., 1910-01-01)10 pamphlets in 1 volume Osteopathy and woman.--The Osteopath and the liver.--Osteopathy, a preventive disease.--Osteopathy, a rational method of treatment.--Osteopathy, a brief discussion of its principles and practice.--Osteopathy.--Why osteopathy.--Osteopathy in acute diseases.--The spinal origin of disease.--Osteopathy in chronic cases.Item Osteopathy Illustrated : a Drugless System of Healing(Fred L.
