Underrepresented Minority Recruitment: Manpower as Motivator in Late Twentieth-Century Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy
This article offers a historical perspective on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in health professions. Historians have highlighted how workforce shortages have facilitated increased gender diversity in male-dominated scientific and clinical occupations. Less attention has been given to manpower as a motivator for enhancing racial/ethnic diversity. I explore the history of minority recruitment, retention, and inclusion initiatives in occupational therapy and physical therapy after 1970 and examine the evolving ways in which the longstanding underrepresentation of racial/ethnic minority health professions studen...

Efficacy and safety of physical therapy in patients with stage III COPD during ambulatory rehabilitation
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a combined physical therapy and pharmacological treatment for patients recovering from stage III COPD exacerbation. The efficacy of the rehabilitation program was assessed using anthropological parameters, physical condition, respiratory system function, and functional endurance capacity. Data were collected from 39 patients with stage III COPD who underwent the rehabilitation program. Physical and anthropometric assessments were conducted using the Quetelet Body Mass Index, the Pignet Index, and the Vital Capacity Index (VCI). The functional capacities of the cardiorespiratory...

Intraoperative Surgeon-Administered Adductor Canal Block is a Safe Alternative to Preoperative Anesthesiologist-Administered Adductor Canal Block in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
This study examined the transition from traditional preoperative anesthesiologist-performed ultrasound-guided adductor canal block s (“high-ACB”) to low-ACB, evaluating pain control, morphine consumption, first physical therapy visit gait distance, hospital length-of-stay, and complications.

High Platelet Dose PRP May be the Nonoperative Treatment of Choice for Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) affects 30% of individuals over 60 and 40% over 70 years old. The incidence of radiological knee OA is 373 per 10,000 person-years, but symptomatic knee OA registers as a considerably lower rate of 50 per 10,000 person-years. For symptomatic cases that are not candidates for surgical intervention, various treatment options include exercise, weight loss, pharmacological management, bracing, physical therapy, oral supplementation, and intra-articular injection with corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or orthobiologics such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
