Ultrasonography in diagnosis of distal biceps tendinosis: A case series

Biceps tendinosis, a milder form on the spectrum of biceps tendinopathy, is unusual at the distal insertion site. Patients with distal biceps tendinosis may experience pain and dysfunction which could inhibit their activities of daily living. Diagnosis of distal biceps tendinosis may be facilitated with ultrasonography (US), whose accuracy is increasingly recognised, while providing many benefits over other modalities, like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Chiropractic Day 2023: A Report and Qualitative Analysis of How Thought Leaders Celebrate the Present and Envision the Future of Chiropractic

This study aimed to (1) collect and analyze statements about how to celebrate chiropractic in the present and roles that chiropractors may fulfill in the future, (2) identify if there was congruence among the themes between present and future statements, and (3) offer a model about the chiropractic profession that captures its complex relationships that encompass its interactions within microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem levels.
