Degenerative Disc Disease I: Introduction01:27

Degenerative Disc Disease I: Introduction

Degenerative disc disease is a chronic condition in which intervertebral discs gradually lose structure and function. It is not infectious or autoimmune; rather, it results from age-related biochemical and mechanical changes, influenced by genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors.Structure and Function of DiscsThe spine contains 23 intervertebral discs that absorb load, distribute forces, maintain spacing, and allow flexibility. Each disc consists of a nucleus pulposus, a gel-like core...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
Degenerative Disc Disease ll: Pathophysiology01:23

Degenerative Disc Disease ll: Pathophysiology

The symptoms of degenerative disc disease arise from a combination of mechanical compression, vascular compromise, and biochemical inflammation, which together disrupt nerve function and produce pain.Mechanical CompressionDisc degeneration reduces height and elasticity, predisposing to herniation of the nucleus pulposus, a major cause of radicular pain. Herniations may be protrusion (bulging with intact annulus), extrusion (nucleus extends beyond disc but remains connected), or sequestration...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Health Disparities Research
  • Chiropractic Science

Background:

  • The United States population is becoming increasingly diverse.
  • Growing concerns exist regarding minority health and health disparities.
  • Health professions, including chiropractic, must adapt to changing demographics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current trends in diversity among chiropractic students, faculty, and practitioners in the US.
  • To compare chiropractic profession demographics with national population data and other medical fields.
  • To identify gaps in research on chiropractic profession diversity.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed using terms: chiropractic, diversity, minority, cultural competency.
  • Analysis of demographic data from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
  • Comparison of chiropractic data with medical doctors (American Association of Medical Colleges) and US Census data.

Main Results:

  • Limited peer-reviewed literature exists on chiropractic profession diversity.
  • Current chiropractic profession demographics (sex, race) do not align with the general US population.
  • Data on other diversity characteristics (gender identity, religion, socioeconomic status) are lacking.

Conclusions:

  • The US chiropractic profession does not currently reflect the national population in terms of sex and race.
  • Profession leaders need to strategize for better representation of diverse demographics.
  • Increased focus on recruiting/retaining underrepresented groups and enhancing cultural competency is essential.
