AbstractManual medicine is the medical discipline that deals with diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of reversible functional disturbances in the locomotor system and other related organ systems. The current article illustrates neuroanatomical and neurophysiological fundamentals of the mechanisms of manual diagnostics and treatment. Based on the recent literature and consideration of different scientifically based clinical guidelines, the evidence-based effectiveness of manual therapeutic procedures is presented. Acute and chronic low back pain, cervicogenic headache, neck and shoulder pain, radicular arm pain, dysfunctional thoracic pain syndromes, diseases of the rotator cuff, carpal tunnel syndrome, and plantar fasciitis are included. Clinical case studies illustrate the clinical procedures. The term, the origin, and the clinical presence of “osteopathy” are addressed in detail, and the national and international societies of manual medicine (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Manuelle Medizin [DGMM], European Scientific Society of Manual Medicine [ESSOMM], Fédération Internationale de Medicine Manuelle [FIMM]) are portrayed lexically. Finally, contraindications to manual intervention are presented and an outlook on the requirements and possibilities of scientific pain analysis is given in accordance with the preamble of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Orthopädie und Orthopädische Chirurgie (GSOOC) guidelines on specific low back pain.

The brass craftsmen are exposed to the dangers of the working environment of work, and the hazard of occupational illness risks can also be experienced by workers. The purpose of this study is to analyze and map the hazards of work environment and risk of occupational diseases using Geographic Information System (GIS). This research is qualitative research. The sample was taken purposively by 10 brass craftsman in Juwana sub-district. Data on occupational illness risk complaints were taken using an in-depth interview questionnaire. Workplace hazard identification was analyzed using HTRA Form and hazardous workplace mapping using GIS software free (PC Arc 10.3). The research results showed that the hazard of working environment on brass craftsmen more is the physics hazard derived from the machine used. In addition, there is also a chemical hazard during the working process both steam and metal dust. The risk of occupational illness most of which the respondents complained of was shortness of breath and cough. In addition, arm pain and low back pain is also experienced by the workers. This research showed that the hazards of work environment on brass craftsmen include physical hazards, chemical hazards, ergonomic hazards and psychological hazards. While the complaints of occupational illness risk in the form of respiratory problems, arm pain, low back pain and skin irritation.

Clinical Detail

Study Design: Systematic review (Level 4) Objective: To summarize the demographics, clinical presentations, and conditions associated with butterfly vertebrae. Methods: A systematic search was performed of multiple databases. A total of 279 articles were identified for screening. Case series or case reports of butterfly vertebrae with adequate clinical detail were complied. Results: Eighty-two total articles (109 patients) were selected for final inclusion. Sixty-one percent of patients presented with a single butterfly vertebra, while 39% were multiple. The most common location for butterfly vertebrae was T1. Fifty-six percent of cases were associated with a syndrome, the most common being spondylocostal dysostosis. The presence of multiple butterfly vertebra was strongly associated with a syndrome or additional anomalies ( P < .001). Overall, the most common presenting complaint was low back pain. Seventy percent of patients had associated spinal disease. Other organ systems affected included musculoskeletal (43%), craniofacial (30%), neurologic (27%), cardiovascular (24%), genitourinary (23%), gastrointestinal (22%), laboratory abnormality (16%), and endocrine (9%). Conclusions: This study is the largest collection of butterfly vertebrae cases to date. Butterfly vertebrae are associated with spinal deformity and multiple butterfly vertebrae may indicate a syndromic illness. Low back pain or disc herniation may occur with lumbar butterfly vertebrae however the etiology of this phenomena has not been rigorously explained. Many diseases and syndromes are associated with butterfly vertebrae.
