The paper concludes opportunities exist to refocus efforts on delivery of the SDGs but may be hampered by the competing interests of a new geopolitics.
To describe an anatomical variant wherein, bilaterally, the C5 ventral root passes anterior to the anterior scalene muscle.
This and other variants in the anatomy of brachial plexus may complicate diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome, by producing unconventional signs and symptoms. Additionally, the passage of C5 ventral root anterior to the anterior scalene muscle, as in this case, may render the nerve root more susceptible to injury, including injury during manual therapy directed to this region.

A bibliometric survey was conducted, using network and textual analysis tools, to assess the current state of the research enterprise at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and to augment planning processes.
Searches were conducted via several databases to identify publications attributable to the institution. Bibliometric data were summarized and post-processed using the programme VosViewer and analysis tools provided in the Web of Science.
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College is a productive source of peer-reviewed publications supported by a diverse suite of funding agencies and collaborating institutions, and published across a broad range of journals.
As a private, single-purpose educational institution, awarding a qualification only in chiropractic, Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College probably performs well in its class of institution in terms of research productivity. However, assessment is constrained by inconsistencies on the part of authors, journals and databases in archiving data.

Brief action planning (BAP) is a collaborative tool to support patients' self-management goal setting and action planning. BAP facilitates patient self-reflection, and provides opportunity to establish goals of their own priority.
A 55 year-old female with recentonset low back pain with L5 nerve root distribution, described severe pain in the low back and sharp pain and tingle-sensations down to her right foot. Pain worsened with sitting, coughing, and bending. She was diagnosed with lumbar and other intervertebral disc disorder with radiculopathy (ICD 10 M51.1).
Initial treatment included reassurance, education, promotion of movement, and manual therapies. Symptoms worsened at the eighth visit (five weeks) where she also demonstrated pain-catastrophizing behaviours and an over-reliance on passive treatment strategies (i.e., psychosocial factors or yellow flags). BAP was introduced into her treatment plan to set achievable goals for her care.
Decreased pain and disability were reported after incorporating BAP into care. Reduced pain-catastrophizing and reduced over-dependence on passive strategies were also demonstrated. Clinical gains were sustained at the 10-week follow-up assessment.
We describe the utilization of brief action planning as a technique for improving adherence to evidence-based clinical practice guideline recommendations in a patient with acute low back pain and radiculopathy, and late-onset psychosocial factors.

Previous analysis of registered clinical trials has found a number of protocols result in changes in the registered primary outcome measures. Lithocholicacid This investigation determined if reported primary outcomes in chiropractic-related clinical trials registered in clinicaltrials.gov match their published results. Additionally, we assessed secondary outcomes, publication status and whether raw data were posted to the registry.
Clinicaltrials.gov was searched for chiropractic-related trials and having a completed status. If the study was published, outcome measures were compared between the clinicaltrials.gov entry and the published paper to assess for consistency.
Within clinicaltrials.gov 171 chiropracticrelated protocols were identified with 102 of those published (59.6% publication rate). Ninety-two of the published papers (90.2%) had agreement between their primary outcome and the entry on clinicaltrials.gov and 82 (80.4%) agreed with the secondary outcomes.
A modest rate of agreement between clinicaltrials.gov entries and the published papers was found. link2 While chiropractic-related clinical trials are fewer compared to medical trials, chiropractic-related research has a substantially better rate of primary and secondary outcome concordance with registered protocols.

Due to their occupational status, military personnel are a high-risk group for low back pain (LBP).
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neuromuscular exercises on the severity of pain, functional disability, proprioception, and balance in military personnel with LBP.
Military personnel with LBP were randomly assigned into two groups intervention (n=15) and control (n=15). The intervention group performed 60 minutes of neuromuscular exercises three times per week for eight weeks while the control group continued their routine physical activities.
The mean post-intervention pain intensity, disability, and proprioception error significantly decreased in the intervention group. Whereas their mean post-interventions static and dynamic balance scores significantly increased.
The results indicate eight weeks of neuromuscular exercise decreased pain intensity and improved functional ability, static and dynamic balance, and proprioception among military staff suffering chronic low back pain.

The inter-rater reliability of the Quebec Task Force (QTF) classification system for Whiplash-Associated Disorders (WAD) remains unknown. Our objective was to determine the inter-rater reliability of the WAD classification between an experienced chiropractic clinician and two chiropractic residents.
We conducted an inter-rater reliability study using baseline clinical data from 80 participants assessed for inclusion in a randomized clinical trial of the conservative management of WAD grades I and II. We reported reliability using Cohen's kappa (k) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
The mean duration of WAD symptoms was 7.6 days (s.d.=5.2). In our study, the interrater reliability of the WAD grade classification varied from k=0.04 (95% CI -0.04 to 0.12) to k=0.80 (95% CI 0.67 to 0.94).
Inter-rater reliability of the WAD classification varied greatly across raters and may be associated with the experience of the raters and with their understanding of the criteria. Our results suggest that clinicians may benefit from training to standardize how they classify WAD. Furthermore, our results need to be tested in a different sample of patients and with a range of clinicians from different clinical disciplines.

This study aimed to validate a questionnaire to address an absence of a measure to evaluate Australian chiropractic students' perceptions of the quality of chiropractic programs.
Potential relevant questionnaire items were selected from the Australian chiropractic accreditation standards. Chiropractic students rated these items for clarity and relevance, which resulted in a pilot questionnaire of 47 items. Principal components analysis was used to establish the structure of the scales. Finally, intra-class correlation coefficients were used to establish the scales' test-retest reliability.
Thirty-four items were omitted resulting in the retention of 13 items that strongly loaded onto five factors. Internal consistency was adequate. The test-retest reliability ranged from adequate to good for four of the derived factors. The fifth was poor and omitted.
A valid questionnaire for assessing Australian chiropractic programs has been developed comprising four scales that enquire about 1) quality of the educational program; 2) provision of student support services; 3) enablement of independent learning; and 4) adequacy of teaching resources.

This study aims to gather information on conditions seen, treatments rendered, and referrals made during a Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College outreach to the Dominican Republic serving those in need.
Data was extracted from templated patient files retrospectively.
Spinal, extremity and other/whole body chief complaints accounted for 71.79%, 24.64% and 3.57% respectively in patients ranging in age from 1.5 to 106 years whose data was collected. Mechanical pain accounted for 95.07% of all cervical, 96.81% of thoracic and 91.27% of lumbar spine diagnoses. Various non-mechanical conditions were also encountered.Manual therapy was performed in 96.10% of cases. Twenty referrals were made to urgent care, six to a World Spine Care clinic and 46 for further investigation, including local medical doctors or surgery.
This study reports empirical data collected from an 11-day outreach to the Dominican Republic that provided otherwise unattainable chiropractic care for musculoskeletal complaints.

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare the number of males and females in leadership positions, and whether there is a relationship between gender and degrees held in those positions, within chiropractic academic institutions, national regulatory bodies and the most widely representative national professional associations in the United States and Canada.
Publicly accessible websites from chiropractic institutions and organizations were used to collect data. Pearson χ
tests of independence were conducted to determine the relationship between gender (male vs. female) and other variables, including position (principal vs secondary), and chiropractic and other advanced professional degrees.
A total of 107 leaders were identified across institutions and organizations. Under one-third of leaders (30.8%) were identified as female. Males were more likely to be in principal leadership roles (86.2%) and more likely to be in a secondary leadership position (62.8%).
Male leaders significantly outnumber female leaders in both principal and secondary leadership positions within American and Canadian chiropractic institutions.
