FORWARD In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1 Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with shoulder pain is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about shoulder pain, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so. In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related to shoulder pain, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. Public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized. Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on shoulder pain. Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary research results via the Internet. While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to shoulder pain, these are noted in the text. E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser. You may find it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases. NOTE: At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional. However, some links may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet. For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access electronic resources. For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive glossary is provided. For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given. We hope these resources will prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on shoulder pain. The Editors

CHAPTER 1. STUDIES ON SHOULDER PAIN Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to locate peer-reviewed references and studies on shoulder pain.

The Combined Health Information Database The Combined Health Information Database summarizes studies across numerous federal agencies. To limit your investigation to research studies and shoulder pain, you will need to use the advanced search options. First, go to http://chid.nih.gov/index.html. From there, select the “Detailed Search” option (or go directly to that page with the following hyperlink: http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html). The trick in extracting studies is found in the drop boxes at the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the dates and language you prefer, and the format option “Journal Article.” At the top of the search form, select the number of records you would like to see (we recommend 100) and check the box to display “whole records.” We recommend that you type “shoulder pain” (or synonyms) into the “For these words:” box. Consider using the option “anywhere in record” to make your search as broad as possible. If you want to limit the search to only a particular field, such as the title of the journal, then select this option in the “Search in these fields” drop box. The following is what you can expect from this type of search: •

Systematic Approach to Acute Shoulder Pain Source: Patient Care. 34-36,38,41,45-48,51; November 15, 1997. Summary: This journal article for health professionals presents a systematic approach to diagnosing and treating acute should pain. It focuses on the features, diagnosis, and treatment of fractures of the proximal humerus and the clavicle, shoulder dislocations, shoulder sprains and strains, shoulder inflammation, and shoulder infection. 2 references, 5 figures, and 1 table.

Shoulder Pain

Summary: This journal article provides health professionals with information on the differential diagnosis and management of shoulder pain. The most colloquial expressions applied to the enigmatic nature of shoulder pain are bursitis and tendinitis. These catch all terms describe various shoulder problems, yet each is distinct. True bursitis refers to inflammation of a bursa resulting from an infectious, arthritic, or mechanical cause. Pain may be acute or chronic. Tendinitis involves inflammation of a tendon related to impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tendinopathy, or calcific tendinitis. Pain tends to be chronic, indolent, and subdeltoid. The initial workup is targeted toward localizing pain and evaluating muscle and tendon strength. Imaging studies can clarify confounding clinical findings and provide useful information. Radiographs are used mainly to search for mechanical causes of shoulder pain. Magnetic resonance imaging offers the advantage of detecting soft tissue pathology. Other diagnostic tools are arthroscopy and ultrasonography. Conservative therapy involves medications to alleviate initial discomfort and inflammation, along with formal physical therapy and exercise to strengthen muscles and maintain range of motion. Lack of improvement after at least 6 months of conservative treatment and progression of symptoms are indications for surgery. 4 figures, 4 tables, and 18 references. (AA-M).

Federally Funded Research on Shoulder Pain The U.S. Government supports a variety of research studies relating to shoulder pain. These studies are tracked by the Office of Extramural Research at the National Institutes of Health.2 CRISP (Computerized Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) is a searchable database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other institutions. Search the CRISP Web site at http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/crisp_query.generate_screen. You will have the option to perform targeted searches by various criteria, including geography, date, and topics related to shoulder pain. For most of the studies, the agencies reporting into CRISP provide summaries or abstracts. As opposed to clinical trial research using patients, many federally funded studies use animals or simulated models to explore shoulder pain. The following is typical of the type of information found when searching the CRISP database for shoulder pain: •

Project Title: A MODAL RECIPROCATING PUSHRIM DRIVE WHEELCHAIR Principal Investigator & Institution: Green, Steve C.; President; Green Technologies, Inc. 13387 Green Rd West Fork, Ar 72774 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 01-SEP-2003; Project End 29-FEB-2004 Summary: (provided by applicant): Despite many applicable developments in the field of ergonomically improved manual drive wheelchairs, the standard fixed pushrim remains the most prevalent method of propulsion. These ubiquitous fixed pushdm drives, while inexpensive and intuitively simple to operate, contribute to several common repetitive motion injuries. Among manual wheelchair users surveyed, prevalence of shoulder pain is seen to be between 31 percent and 73 percent, and carpal

tunnel syndrome (CTS) to be between 49 percent and 73 percent. The prevalence of these injuries is associated with the large wrist flexion under load, the downward pressure on the pushrim, the muscle imbalance from the uni-directional stresses of continuous push motions applied to the pushdm, and the large number of repetitions of the push motion. When pain reaches a certain level of discomfort, the wheelchair dependent individual generally starts using a powered chair, thus losing a valuable cardiovascular exercise. Responding to the needs of this large user population, 1.5 million in the US alone, it is our long-term objective to provide a wheelchair propulsion system utilizing a pushrim of improved kinematics. The improved kinematic design will allow up to a 50 percent reduction of push strokes for a given distance traveled. Additionally, it will allow the user the option of a mode of operation that will essentially eliminate wrist flexion under load and lessen forces on the shoulder, while retaining traditional pushrim operation for fine control. The concept has the potential to allow embodiment as fully self-contained wheel assemblies that would be field retrofittable to a large number of existing wheelchairs. We have developed a pushrim drive concept that will enable the long-term objectives slated above. It is the specific aim of this proposal to design, fabricate, and test a transmission mechanism, contained entirely within the wheel hub, such that the needed utility will be demonstrated.

Project Title: ACUPUNCTURE FOR SHOULDER SYNDROME AFTER CANCER SURGERY Principal Investigator & Institution: Pfister, David G.; Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Res New York, Ny 10021 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 23-JUN-2003; Project End 31-MAY-2005 Summary: (provided by applicant): BACKGROUND: Neck dissection is a common procedure for treatment of head and neck cancer. Removal or damage to the spinal accessory nerve can lead to "shoulder syndrome", characterized by shoulder droop, winged scapula, weak abduction, inability to shrug and a dull ache with pain localized to the shoulder. Though modified surgical procedures have been developed which spare the spinal accessory nerve, these procedures do not prevent shoulder syndrome entirely. There are no effective treatments for shoulder syndrome and many patients live with significant long-term pain and disability. Acupuncture is widely used for pain and there is evidence of its effectiveness for both acute and chronic pain disorders. These considerations warrant further research on acupuncture for shoulder syndrome following neck dissection. OBJECTIVES: 1. To determine whether a Phase III trial of acupuncture for shoulder pain and dysfunction in cancer patients treated by neck dissection is warranted; 2. To determine whether such a trial is feasible in terms of accrual rate, drop-out rate, use of off-study treatment and compliance; 3. To determine the most sensitive outcome measure; 4. To provide data necessary (or sample size calculation. METHODS: Head and neck cancer patients complaining of shoulder pain and dysfunction at least three months after lack dissection will complete two visual analog scales of shoulder pain on movement, one week apart. They will also be assessed by a physical therapist using the Constant-Murley score, a validated shoulder pain and dysfunction assessment instrument. Patients will be randomized to eight biweekly treatments of acupuncture or to no additional care. Outcome will be assessed two weeks after the end of treatment. Change in pain and Constant-Murley will be compared between groups by analysis of co-variance. At the end of the trial we will have data to address each of our aims as follows: Is a Phase III indicated? Data: Confidence interval for the difference between group means. Aim: Is a Phase III trial feasible? Data: Accrual

Principal Investigator & Institution: Mulroy, Sara J.; Director; Los Amigos Research/Education Institute Education Institute, Inc. Downey, Ca 90242 Timing: Fiscal Year 2002; Project Start 01-APR-2001; Project End 31-MAR-2005 Summary: (verbatim from the application) Today, the increased longevity and mobility of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) has led to disabling shoulder pain becoming a significant clinical problem which has been related to the demands of wheelchair propulsion (WCP). The goal of this project will be to develop guidelines for the reduction of the demands on the shoulder during WCP for persons with SCI. Specifically, the aims are to determine the effects of changes in the horizontal wheelchair seat position and a muscle strengthening exercise intervention on the shoulder joint forces and muscle activity during WCP in persons with paraplegia and tetraplegia from complete SCI. Subjects with SCI who are asymptomatic for shoulder joint pain and those who report shoulder pain during WCP will be tested. Participants will be grouped according to SCI level of injury (paraplegia, C7 tetraplegia and C6 tetraplegia). Subjects will wheel their chairs, on a wheelchair ergometer in three horizontal seat positions at free and fast velocities and on a simulated 8 percent incline. Subjects will maintain fixed velocities in the three seat positions for each propulsion condition. Function of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, sbscapularis, anterior and middle deltoid, serratus anterior, sternal pectoralis major, middle and lower rapezius and rhomboid major will be recorded with dynamic EMG using intramuscular fine wire electrodes. Motion of the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints will be measured with the Vicon Motion Analysis System. WCP forces will be recorded with a strain gauge instrumented wheel. Maximal isometric shoulder elevation in the sagittal and scapular planes (scaption), shoulder adduction and internal and external rotation torques will be measured with a LIDO dynamometer. A sub‑group of the subjects will participate in a 12 week shoulder muscle strengthening and flexibility exercise program. Those subjects who do not participate in the exercise program will serve as a control group. Both exercise and control subjects will return every three weeks for strength assessment. The strength and propulsion tests will be repeated for all subjects at the end of the 12 week period. The data will be analyzed to compare the shoulder joint forces, moments, patterns of muscle activity and reports of shoulder pain during WCP in the three seat positions and before and after the exercise program. Statistical significance of the findings will be determined by repeated measures MANOVA analyses with grouping factors for SCI level and exercise/control groups.

Summary: (provided by applicant): Shoulder pain is a common and persistent problem among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), reported to range between 30 and 50% in subjects with paraplegia. The high prevalence of shoulder pain and impingement problems may be related to increased loading and the repetitive use of the upper limbs during functional tasks of daily living. Mechanisms of impingement have been linked to alterations in scapulothoracic and glenohumeral kinematics resulting in a reduction in the available subacromial space and subsequent soft tissue injury. Although faulty motion patterns have been identified in subjects with impingement syndrome without SCI, these kinematics have not been assessed during functional tasks in subjects with SCI. Further, quantitative evidence documenting specific patterns of abnormal scapular or humeral motion in directions that negatively impact the subacromial space in persons with SCI is not available. The specific aims of the current research study are to identify if detrimental three-dimensional scapulothoracic and glenohumeral kinematic patterns distinguish subjects with SCI and shoulder pain from those without shoulder pain during a weight relief raise and transfer activity. Forty subjects between the ages of 18 and 65 with a SCI resulting in paraplegia below the T2 neurological level will be recruited for the study. One half of these subjects will have a diagnosed history of shoulder pain and test positive for shoulder impingement on clinical examination. The comparison group will have no history or current symptoms of shoulder pain. Threedimensional kinematics will be recorded using electromagnetic tracking sensors while subjects complete the weight relief raise and transfer tasks. Comparisons will be made between the groups for different phases of each task using an ANOVA model and follow-up testing. If altered scapular kinematic patterns can be identified, then interventions can be designed to modify, and more importantly, prevent further progression of these detrimental movement patterns through selective stretching and strengthening exercises Website: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/Crisp_Query.Generate_Screen •

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of percutaneous functional electrical stimulation of hemiplegic shoulder muscles in 1)decreasing shoulder subluxation, 2)preventing or minimizing shoulder pain and 3)enhancing neurologic motor and 4)functional (ADL) recovery of the impaired upper extremity. Subjects , who are within 3 weeks of their first anterior circulation nonhemorrhagic infarct with clinical evidence of shoulder subluxation will be enrolled and randomized to the electrical stimulation or control group. The stimulation group will be implanted with percutaneous electrodes in their hemiplegic posterior deltoid and supraspinatus muscles and receive 6 hrs/day of stimulation for 3 weeks. The control group will be treated with the Harris hemisling and a wheelchair arm support board. Both groups will receive standard physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

Shoulder Pain

Project Title: SCI SHOULDER FUNCTION IN ASSISTIVE DEVICE GAIT Principal Investigator & Institution: Perry, Jacquelin; Professor; Los Amigos Research/Education Institute Education Institute, Inc. Downey, Ca 90242 Timing: Fiscal Year 2002; Project Start 28-SEP-2000; Project End 30-JUN-2004 Summary: (adapted from the Investigator's abstract): Disabling shoulder pain has been documented in persons with complete spinal cord injury (SCI). This also is a significant clinical problem in those patients with incomplete SCI. Weight bearing demands on the shoulder joint from ambulation with an assistive device have been implicated. The goal of this project will be to maximizing walking ability. Specifically, the aims are to define the demands of the shoulder joint by ambulation with forearm crutches and wheeled walkers in persons with incomplete SCI. A second purpose is to relate the identified demands to the patients' lesion level, pattern of upper and lower extremity muscle strength and orthotic support. Four functional groups of SCI subjects (weak/strong, paraplegia/tetraplegia) will be tested. Function of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, anterior and posterior deltoid, serratus anterior, lower trapezius, sternal pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi and triceps brachii will be recorded with dynamic EMG using intramuscular fine wire electrodes. Motion of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle will be measured with the VICON Motion Analysis System. Forces exerted on the assistive devices will be recorded with a strain gauge instrumented front wheeled walker and forearm crutches. Lower extremity ground reaction forces will be documented with a force plate. Subjects will ambulate with both assistive devices at a self-selected velocity. Maximal isometric torques for shoulder elevation, shoulder adduction, internal and external rotation; elbow flexion and extension; hip flexion, extension and abduction; knee extension and ankle plantar and dorsiflexion will be measured with a LIDO dynamometer. Maximal forces from the shoulder depressors muscles will be documented with a strain gauge instrumented lever arm. The data will be analyzed to compare stride characteristics, shoulder joint kinematics, kinetics and patterns of muscle activity with the two assistive devices in the four subject groups with repeated measures MANOVA. A criterion level of "safe" assistive device weight bearing force relative to shoulder depressor strength will be determined (based on elevation of the acromion relative to the sternum). The strength and orthotic variables which best predict the assistive device weight bearing forces for a given walking velocity will be determined with step-wise regression analysis. From these algorithms clinicians will be able to predict if patients are exceeding the criterion for "safe" upper extremity weight bearing forces and which device would minimize those forces.

The value of PubMed Central, in addition to its role as an archive, lies in the availability of data from diverse sources stored in a common format in a single repository. Many journals already have online publishing operations, and there is a growing tendency to publish material online only, to the exclusion of print. 6 PubMed was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The PubMed database was developed in conjunction with publishers of biomedical literature as a search tool for accessing literature citations and linking to full-text journal articles at Web sites of participating publishers. Publishers that participate in PubMed supply NLM with their citations electronically prior to or at the time of publication.

CHAPTER 2. NUTRITION AND SHOULDER PAIN Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to find studies dedicated specifically to nutrition and shoulder pain.

Finding Nutrition Studies on Shoulder Pain The National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) offers a searchable bibliographic database called the IBIDS (International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements; National Institutes of Health, Building 31, Room 1B29, 31 Center Drive, MSC 2086, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-2086, Tel: 301-435-2920, Fax: 301-480-1845, E-mail: [email protected]). The IBIDS contains over 460,000 scientific citations and summaries about dietary supplements and nutrition as well as references to published international, scientific literature on dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and botanicals.7 The IBIDS includes references and citations to both human and animal research studies. As a service of the ODS, access to the IBIDS database is available free of charge at the following Web address: http://ods.od.nih.gov/databases/ibids.html. After entering the search area, you have three choices: (1) IBIDS Consumer Database, (2) Full IBIDS Database, or (3) Peer Reviewed Citations Only. Now that you have selected a database, click on the “Advanced” tab. An advanced search allows you to retrieve up to 100 fully explained references in a comprehensive format. Type “shoulder pain” (or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” To narrow the search, you can also select the “Title” field.

Adapted from http://ods.od.nih.gov. IBIDS is produced by the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health to assist the public, healthcare providers, educators, and researchers in locating credible, scientific information on dietary supplements. IBIDS was developed and will be maintained through an interagency partnership with the Food and Nutrition Information Center of the National Agricultural Library, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

CHAPTER 4. DISSERTATIONS ON SHOULDER PAIN Overview In this chapter, we will give you a bibliography on recent dissertations relating to shoulder pain. We will also provide you with information on how to use the Internet to stay current on dissertations. IMPORTANT NOTE: When following the search strategy described below, you may discover non-medical dissertations that use the generic term “shoulder pain” (or a synonym) in their titles. To accurately reflect the results that you might find while conducting research on shoulder pain, we have not necessarily excluded non-medical dissertations in this bibliography.

Dissertations on Shoulder Pain ProQuest Digital Dissertations, the largest archive of academic dissertations available, is located at the following Web address: http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations. From this archive, we have compiled the following list covering dissertations devoted to shoulder pain.

CHAPTER 5. PATENTS ON SHOULDER PAIN Overview Patents can be physical innovations (e.g. chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment) or processes (e.g. treatments or diagnostic procedures). The United States Patent and Trademark Office defines a patent as a grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the Patent and Trademark Office.8 Patents, therefore, are intellectual property. For the United States, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date when the patent application was filed. If the inventor wishes to receive economic benefits, it is likely that the invention will become commercially available within 20 years of the initial filing. It is important to understand, therefore, that an inventor’s patent does not indicate that a product or service is or will be commercially available. The patent implies only that the inventor has “the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling” the invention in the United States. While this relates to U.S. patents, similar rules govern foreign patents. In this chapter, we show you how to locate information on patents and their inventors. If you find a patent that is particularly interesting to you, contact the inventor or the assignee for further information. IMPORTANT NOTE: When following the search strategy described below, you may discover non-medical patents that use the generic term “shoulder pain” (or a synonym) in their titles. To accurately reflect the results that you might find while conducting research on shoulder pain, we have not necessarily excluded non-medical patents in this bibliography.

Patent Applications on Shoulder Pain As of December 2000, U.S. patent applications are open to public viewing.9 Applications are patent requests which have yet to be granted. (The process to achieve a patent can take several years.) The following patent applications have been filed since December 2000 relating to shoulder pain:

Shoulder Pain

Crude drug patch Inventor(s): Kim, Ki Hong; (Gangwon-do, KR) Correspondence: Jacobson Holman Pllc; 400 Seventh Street N.W.; Suite 600; Washington; DC; 20004; US Patent Application Number: 20020197303 Date filed: May 22, 2002 Abstract: The present invention relates to a crude drug patch, and in particular to a crude drug patch which is fabricated using a gardenia having a certain function such as an antimicrobial function, a suppression and fever removing function. A homeostasis function, etc., a raw rehmannia glutinose is capable of softening a coagulated blood, mitigating a blood stasis, and curing a wound. In addition, it is possible to mitigate a pain by sticking on a diseased part such as a labor pain/anti-inflammation, sprain, bruise, muscle pain, joint pain, lumbago, shoulder pain, neuralgia, rheumatic pain, etc. based on a combined prescription of a fermented soybean paste (toenjang), wheat flour and green tea at a certain ratio. Even when a crude drug patch according to the present invention is stuck on a skin using a natural material as an effective component, there is not any side effect. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to a crude drug patch, and in particular to a crude drug patch which is fabricated using a gardenia having a certain function such as an antimicrobial function, a suppression and fever removing function, a homeostasis function, etc., a raw rehmannia glutinose capable of softening a coagulated blood, mitigating a blood stasis, and curing a wound. In addition, it is possible to mitigate a pain by sticking a crude drug patch on a diseased part such as a labor pain/inflammation, sprain, bruise, muscle pain, joint pain, lumbago, shoulder pain, neuralgia, rheumatic pain, etc. based on a combined prescription of a fermented soybean paste (toenjang), wheat flour and green tea at a certain ratio. Even when a crude drug patch according to the present invention is stuck on a skin using a natural material as an effective component, there is no any side effect. In the conventional art, in order to medically treat a labor pain/anti-inflammation, sprain, bruise, muscle pain, joint pain, lumbago, shoulder pain, neuralgia, rheumatic pain, etc., an anodyne or a patch which is an internal medicine is generally used. However, since the above internal medicine is an oral inoculation type medicine, a gastroenteric disorder may occur. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

Patents 69

therapeutic devices and, more specifically, to a therapeutic device comprising a heated or chilled gel pack in a U-shaped cover with the sleeve ends having hook and loop closure patches. The gel pack can be applied to the upper back, neck, shoulders, and chest, while the gel pack is positioned securely but loosely around the user's neck. The related art of interest describes various therapeutic devices of various shapes, but none discloses the present invention. There is a need for a versatile and economical heated or cooled gel pack which can be conveniently placed on one's neck or shoulders and fastened to remain in that position until the need no longer exists, whereupon the gel pack can be readily removed. The related art will be discussed in the order of perceived relevance to the present invention. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

Older Shoulders: Why It Hurts When Atlas Shrugs Source: Harvard Health Letter. 4-5; November 1996. Contact: Harvard Health Letter., P.O. Box 420300, Palm Coast, FL 32142-0300. (617) 4321485. Summary: This newsletter article for the general public discusses causes of shoulder problems. Shoulder pain may result from rotator cuff tendinitis, calcific tendinitis, or shoulder joint instability. Research has shown that the rotator cuff gradually deteriorates as individuals age. However, being physically fit can help combat the effects of aging on the shoulder. A course of treatment that individuals may follow to relieve shoulder pain is presented, and the use of arthroscopic surgery to treat shoulder injuries is discussed.

Summary: This newsletter article provides health professionals with information on evaluating and treating the musculoskeletal manifestations of thyroid disease. Thyroid disease can cause musculoskeletal symptoms that mimic known rheumatic syndromes. Hypothyroidism and thyrotoxicosis can affect the musculoskeletal system. The manifestations of congenital hypothyroidism and hypothyroidism occurring in childhood are usually dominated by cognitive deficiencies and developmental delays. In adults, hypothyroidism may result from autoimmune and postablative mechanisms,

Shoulder Pain

pituitary failure, or iodine deficiency. Hypothyroid adults usually have manifestations consistent with low basal metabolic rate. An arthropathy may occur, or hypothyroidism may be confused with fibromyalgia. Hypothyroidism is also associated with other musculoskeletal and rheumatic diseases, including polymyositis, carpal tunnel syndrome, avascular necrosis of the hip, polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arteritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Thyrotoxicosis may also have musculoskeletal manifestations, including myopathy, osteoporosis, and shoulder pain. Graves' disease, an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies directed against the TSH receptor in the thyroid, is associated with pretibial myxedema and thyroid acropachy. 2 tables and 35 references.

Coffee Break: Tutorials for Biologists18 Coffee Break is a general healthcare site that takes a scientific view of the news and covers recent breakthroughs in biology that may one day assist physicians in developing treatments. Here you will find a collection of short reports on recent biological discoveries. Each report incorporates interactive tutorials that demonstrate how bioinformatics tools are used as a part of the research process. Currently, all Coffee Breaks are written by NCBI staff.19 Each report is about 400 words and is usually based on a discovery reported in one or more articles from recently published, peer-reviewed literature.20 This site has new articles every few weeks, so it can be considered an online magazine of sorts. It is intended for general background information. You can access the Coffee Break Web site at the following hyperlink: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/.

Other Commercial Databases In addition to resources maintained by official agencies, other databases exist that are commercial ventures addressing medical professionals. Here are some examples that may interest you: •

CliniWeb International: Index and table of contents to selected clinical information on the Internet; see http://www.ohsu.edu/cliniweb/.

•

Medical World Search: Searches full text from thousands of selected medical sites on the Internet; see http://www.mwsearch.com/.

18 Adapted 19

from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/Archive/FAQ.html.

The figure that accompanies each article is frequently supplied by an expert external to NCBI, in which case the source of the figure is cited. The result is an interactive tutorial that tells a biological story. 20 After a brief introduction that sets the work described into a broader context, the report focuses on how a molecular understanding can provide explanations of observed biology and lead to therapies for diseases. Each vignette is accompanied by a figure and hypertext links that lead to a series of pages that interactively show how NCBI tools and resources are used in the research process.

APPENDIX B. PATIENT RESOURCES Overview Official agencies, as well as federally funded institutions supported by national grants, frequently publish a variety of guidelines written with the patient in mind. These are typically called “Fact Sheets” or “Guidelines.” They can take the form of a brochure, information kit, pamphlet, or flyer. Often they are only a few pages in length. Since new guidelines on shoulder pain can appear at any moment and be published by a number of sources, the best approach to finding guidelines is to systematically scan the Internet-based services that post them.

Patient Guideline Sources The remainder of this chapter directs you to sources which either publish or can help you find additional guidelines on topics related to shoulder pain. Due to space limitations, these sources are listed in a concise manner. Do not hesitate to consult the following sources by either using the Internet hyperlink provided, or, in cases where the contact information is provided, contacting the publisher or author directly. The National Institutes of Health The NIH gateway to patients is located at http://health.nih.gov/. From this site, you can search across various sources and institutes, a number of which are summarized below. Topic Pages: MEDLINEplus The National Library of Medicine has created a vast and patient-oriented healthcare information portal called MEDLINEplus. Within this Internet-based system are “health topic pages” which list links to available materials relevant to shoulder pain. To access this system, log on to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics.html. From there you can either search using the alphabetical index or browse by broad topic areas. Recently, MEDLINEplus listed the following when searched for “shoulder pain”:

You may also choose to use the search utility provided by MEDLINEplus at the following Web address: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/. Simply type a keyword into the search box and click “Search.” This utility is similar to the NIH search utility, with the exception that it only includes materials that are linked within the MEDLINEplus system (mostly patient-oriented information). It also has the disadvantage of generating unstructured results. We recommend, therefore, that you use this method only if you have a very targeted search. The Combined Health Information Database (CHID) CHID Online is a reference tool that maintains a database directory of thousands of journal articles and patient education guidelines on shoulder pain. CHID offers summaries that describe the guidelines available, including contact information and pricing. CHID’s general Web site is http://chid.nih.gov/. To search this database, go to http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html. In particular, you can use the advanced search options to look up pamphlets, reports, brochures, and information kits. The following was recently posted in this archive: •

Shoulder Pain Source: Chicago, IL: American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. 1989. 8 p. Contact: Available from American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). P.O. Box 75838, Chicago, IL 60675-5838. (800) 626-6726. Fax (for credit card or institutional purchase orders) (800) 823-8025. Web site: www.aaos.org. PRICE: Single copy free; bulk prices available. Summary: This brochure for people with shoulder pain presents information on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Most shoulder problems involve muscles, ligaments, and tendons rather than bones. Shoulder pain may result from tendinitis/bursitis, injury/instability, or arthritis. Tendinitis can be acute or chronic, or tendons can split and tear because of acute injury or degenerative changes. Bursitis occurs when the fluid-filled sacs around the joints become inflamed and swollen. Shoulder instability can result in dislocations that cause pain and unsteadiness of the arm. Arthritis generally involves wear and tear changes with inflammation of the joint that results in swelling, pain, and stiffness. Diagnosis is based on medical history, physical examination, and tests. Treatment generally involves activity modification, rest,

and physical therapy. Medication and surgery may also be used to treat shoulder problems. Prevention involves avoiding overexertion. 1 figure and 1 photograph. •

Shoulder Replacement Surgery: Relieving Your Shoulder Pain Source: San Bruno, CA: StayWell Company. 2000. 16 p. Contact: Available from StayWell Company. 1100 Grundy Lane, San Bruno, CA 940663030. (800) 333-3032. Website: www.staywell.com. PRICE: Call or write for current pricing on single and bulk orders. Summary: This illustrated booklet provides people who have shoulder replacement surgery with information on undergoing and recovering from this surgical procedure. The booklet describes the anatomy of the healthy shoulder and identifies problems that can cause pain and stiffness, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fracture, avascular necrosis, and rotator cuff tear. This is followed by a discussion of the orthopedic evaluation to assess the shoulder, focusing on the medical history, the physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as x rays, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The booklet then outlines the steps involved in preparing for surgery, that is, having a general physical and dental examination, storing blood, informing the surgeon about any medications being taken, and planning ahead to make home recovery go more smoothly. In addition, the booklet discusses preparations in the days before surgery, describes the surgical technique for replacing part or all of the shoulder, and offers guidelines on recovering in the hospital and at home. The booklet includes a surgical checklist to help readers remember what to do before and after surgery. 11 figures. The National Guideline Clearinghouse™

The National Guideline Clearinghouse™ offers hundreds of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines published in the United States and other countries. You can search this site located at http://www.guideline.gov/ by using the keyword “shoulder pain” (or synonyms). The following was recently posted: •

The NIH search utility allows you to search for documents on over 100 selected Web sites that comprise the NIH-WEB-SPACE. Each of these servers is “crawled” and indexed on an ongoing basis. Your search will produce a list of various documents, all of which will relate in some way to shoulder pain. The drawbacks of this approach are that the information is not organized by theme and that the references are often a mix of information for professionals and patients. Nevertheless, a large number of the listed Web sites provide useful background information. We can only recommend this route, therefore, for relatively rare or specific disorders, or when using highly targeted searches. To use the NIH search utility, visit the following Web page: http://search.nih.gov/index.html.

APPENDIX C. FINDING MEDICAL LIBRARIES Overview In this Appendix, we show you how to quickly find a medical library in your area.

Preparation Your local public library and medical libraries have interlibrary loan programs with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), one of the largest medical collections in the world. According to the NLM, most of the literature in the general and historical collections of the National Library of Medicine is available on interlibrary loan to any library. If you would like to access NLM medical literature, then visit a library in your area that can request the publications for you.21

Finding a Local Medical Library The quickest method to locate medical libraries is to use the Internet-based directory published by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). This network includes 4626 members and affiliates that provide many services to librarians, health professionals, and the public. To find a library in your area, simply visit http://nnlm.gov/members/adv.html or call 1-800-338-7657.

Medical Libraries in the U.S. and Canada In addition to the NN/LM, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) lists a number of libraries with reference facilities that are open to the public. The following is the NLM’s list and includes hyperlinks to each library’s Web site. These Web pages can provide information on hours of operation and other restrictions. The list below is a small sample of

Different forms of collagen are produced in the body but all consist of three alpha-polypeptide chains arranged in a triple helix. Collagen is differentiated from other fibrous proteins, such as elastin, by the content of proline, hydroxyproline, and hydroxylysine; by the absence of tryptophan; and particularly by the high content of polar groups which are responsible for its swelling properties. [NIH] Complement: A term originally used to refer to the heat-labile factor in serum that causes immune cytolysis, the lysis of antibody-coated cells, and now referring to the entire functionally related system comprising at least 20 distinct serum proteins that is the effector not only of immune cytolysis but also of other biologic functions. Complement activation occurs by two different sequences, the classic and alternative pathways. The proteins of the classic pathway are termed 'components of complement' and are designated by the symbols C1 through C9. C1 is a calcium-dependent complex of three distinct proteins C1q, C1r and C1s. The proteins of the alternative pathway (collectively referred to as the properdin system) and complement regulatory proteins are known by semisystematic or trivial names. Fragments resulting from proteolytic cleavage of complement proteins are designated with lower-case letter suffixes, e.g., C3a. Inactivated fragments may be designated with the suffix 'i', e.g. C3bi. Activated components or complexes with biological activity are designated by a bar over the symbol e.g. C1 or C4b,2a. The classic pathway is activated by the binding of C1 to classic pathway activators, primarily antigen-antibody complexes containing IgM, IgG1, IgG3; C1q binds to a single IgM molecule or two adjacent IgG molecules. The alternative pathway can be activated by IgA immune complexes and also by nonimmunologic materials including bacterial endotoxins, microbial polysaccharides, and cell walls. Activation of the classic pathway triggers an enzymatic cascade involving C1, C4, C2 and C3; activation of the alternative pathway triggers a cascade involving C3 and factors B, D and P. Both result in the cleavage of C5 and the formation of the membrane attack complex. Complement activation also results in the formation of many biologically active complement fragments that act as anaphylatoxins, opsonins, or chemotactic factors. [EU] Complementary and alternative medicine: CAM. Forms of treatment that are used in addition to (complementary) or instead of (alternative) standard treatments. These practices are not considered standard medical approaches. CAM includes dietary supplements, megadose vitamins, herbal preparations, special teas, massage therapy, magnet therapy, spiritual healing, and meditation.
