Item Cross-Sectional Study of Osteopathic General Surgeons in University-Based General Surgery Departments(Cureus, Inc., 2022-05-06) Khan, Mustafa T.; Patnaik, Ronit; Wheeler, Cassidy; Ibrahim, Mira; Wolf, Haley; Baumgardner, Kyle C.; Lovely, Rehana S.INTRODUCTION: Discrepancy between osteopathic (DO) and allopathic (MD) graduates in general surgery spans across all levels of training. In this cross-sectional study, we characterized DO surgeons who serve as faculty at university-based general surgery departments. METHODS: Overall, 106 university-based surgery departments were reviewed. DO and MD surgeons from the same institutions were identified, and demographic data were tabulated. MD surgeons were the control group. Univariate analysis and multivariate regression models were used to compare total publications, h-index, and citations. RESULTS: A total of 70 DO surgeons from 34 institutions were identified: 53 assistant professors, 16 associate professors, and one full professor. Of the DO surgeons, 35.7% completed residency at a university-based program, and 92.9% completed a fellowship, with surgical critical care and trauma being the most common. They were compared to 1,307 MD surgeons from the same institutions. Univariate analysis showed that MD faculty graduated medical school earlier (mean years (standard deviation (SD)): 14.8 (6.0) versus 23.3 (10.6); p<0.0001), had more total publications (median (interquartile range (IQR)): 5 (2.0-18.3) versus 35 (15.0-79.0); p<0.0001), had higher number of citations (median (IQR): 61.0 (14.0-265.0) versus 655.0 (155.0-2267.0); p<0.001), and had a higher h-index (median (IQR): 3 (1.0-8.0) versus 12 (6.0-24.0); p<0.001). Negative binomial regression models accounting for years since graduation, gender, and degree were performed. At the assistant professor rank, MD surgeons had more total publications (exponential coefficient (CI): 2.24 (1.67-3.02); p<0.001), more citations (3.10 (2.20-4.11); p<0.001), and a higher h-index (1.93 (1.36-2.73); p<0.001). Similar trends were noted at the associate professor level with MD surgeons having more total publication (1.67 (1.00-2.79); p=0.049), more citations (3.63 (2.13-6.18); p<0.001), and higher h-index (1.93 (1.10-3.39); p=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: To address this discrepancy between DO and MD faculty surgeons, action must begin at the medical school and continue through residency. DO trainees need better access to mentorship and research support to foster an academic career.Item Documentation of Preventive Medicine Practices in a University-Based Primary Care Clinic System: A Pilot Study(2001-05-01) Benavides, John Paul; Benavides, John Paul; Rene, Antonio A.; Marshall, Muriel A.Benavides, John P., Rene, Antonio A., Marshall Muriel A., Singh, Karan P. Documentation of Preventive Medicine Practices in a University-Based Primary Care Clinic System: A Pilot Study. The Significance of tracking preventive services is important when one considers the changing mortality patterns over the past century. Preventable sources of morbidity and mortality, highlighted by smoking and unhealthy nutritional and physical activity patterns, has resulted in over 700,000 deaths a year and provide examples for the need to optimize the delivery of primary prevention. The purpose of this study was to determine the delivery of preventive services in an osteopathic medicine-based university primary care system. Five family practice clinics affiliated with a university-based health science center participated. These clinics serve as ambulatory practice sites for faculty osteopathic physicians, physician assistants, and medical students. There were over 30,000 outpatient visits last year to the five family practice clinics. Differences in Preventive Flow Sheet documentation rates among the different clinics was noted. Female preventive flow sheet documentation was the most commonly performed, but cardiovascular risk assessment was the least documented. Females were also observed to have more preventive service documentation concerning alcohol use, abuse, and addiction.Item Placebo Potency in Manipulative Medicine Research: A Pilot Study of Patient Attitudes Towards the Treatment of Low Back Pain(2004-05-01) Slicho, Keith TurnerSlicho, Turner. Placebo Potency in Manipulative Medicine Research: A Pilot Study of Patient Attitudes Toward the Treatment of Low Back Pain. Master of Science (Clinical Research and Education), May, 2004, 31 pp., 8 tables, 8 illustrations, bibliography, 31 titles. The present pilot study examined attitudes of the general population towards four non-surgical treatments for low back pain: high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation (HVLA), standard of care including medication and home exercises, light touch manipulation, and ultrasound therapy. The goal was to determine if there are biases in the general population that may affect placebo response rates in the research of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and other manual medicine modalities. With 89 surveys returned, respondents had a more positive outlook on the described treatments if they had experienced them in the past. Respondents also agreed more that HVLA was a logical way to treat low back pain compared to standard of care and light touch manipulation. A larger sample size is recommended to realize further significant trends in attitudes towards these different treatments.Item TCOM Review, Fall/Winter 1991(Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, 1990)Item TCOM Review, Summer/Fall 1988(Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, 1988) Rowe, T.
