‘Minor Ailments’ Not Always Minor, Australia
AMA Vice President, Dr Steve Hambleton, said today that calls by the self-medication industry for pharmacists to treat so-called ‘minor ailments’ such as coughs, colds, sore throats and back pain instead of doctors could put people with these ailments at risk of more serious health problems. Dr Hambleton said that minor ailments are not always minor. “Respiratory tract infections and back pain are often precursors to more serious conditions and require proper diagnosis,” Dr Hambleton said. “Doctors are skilled in diagnosis, pharmacists aren’t… (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Whiplash injury: 2% are permanently disabled
Whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) represent a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck. Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, usually when the vehicle has been hit in the rear; however, the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including falls from bicycles or horses.Most cases of whiplash injury occur as the result of rear-end vehicle collisions at speeds of less than 14 mph. Patients present with:- neck pain and stiffness- occipital headache- thoracolumbar back pain and upper-limb pain- paraesthesiaOver 66% make a full recovery and 2% are permanently disabled.References:Whiplash injury.

Possible nociceptive structures in the sacroiliac joint cartilage: An immunohistochemical study

Possible nociceptive structures in the sacroiliac joint cartilage: An immunohistochemical study
The sacroiliac joint (SI joint) is a known source of low back pain. In the absence of validated physical signs and imaging studies, the diagnosis of SI joint pain can be secured by positive response to SI joint intra-articular infiltration with local anesthetics. The current anatomical and histological knowledge concerning intra-articular structures of the sacroiliac joint is insufficient to explain the efficacy of this infiltration. Consequently, this study was undertaken to detect the intra-articular presence of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) positive nerve fibers, providing indirect evidence of nociceptive innervation of the SI joint. Free-floating sections, obtained from iliac and sacral cartilage and subchondral bone of the SI joint and adjacent ligamentous tis…

Changes in paraspinal muscles and their association with low back pain and spinal degeneration: CT study
This study was an ancillary project to the Framingham Study. A sample of 3,529 participants aged 40–80 years had a CT scan performed to assess aortic calcification. 187 individuals were randomly enrolled in this study. LBP in the last 12 months was evaluated using self-report questionnaire. Density (in Hounsfield units) of multifidus and erector spinae was evaluated on CT. The prevalence of intervertebral disc narrowing, facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA), spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis were also evaluated. We used linear regression models to examine the association of paraspinal muscles density with age, sex, BMI, LBP, and spinal degeneration features. The results show that in our study, men have higher density of paraspinal muscles than women, young…
