Our 30th and 31st Papers at JMPT Have Been Accepted

by Sanghak O. Harrison, D.C.

In March 2001, Dr. Dana Lawrence, editor of JMPT, accepted our “Crossed ICCs” project on AP views (#11 below). This makes a total of 27 published plus four accepted = 31 publications in JMPT. Together with our 3-part series in Spine, this JMPT paper concerning

“Crossed ICCs” applied to the AP cervical and AP lumbar view finishes our CBP®¨ x-ray reliability studies. Line drawing analysis on every radiographic view utilized in CBP®¨ technique has been investigated for its reliability in either JMPT or Spine.

            Over the weekend of March 10th and 11th, my husband, Dr. Don Harrison, flew to Atlanta. We collected 33 full spine lateral radiographs of CBP®¨ Club volunteers at Dr. Phil Paulk’s office in Stockbridge, Georgia. After finishing with the last volunteer, Dr. Don drove to Huntsville, Alabama, where Dr. Don and Dr. Tad Janik digitized these 33 radiographs, finishing at midnight. Don drove to Atlanta the next day and flew home. We now have 80 subjects in our lateral thoracic “average” model. We still need more volunteers to get 50 subjects without cervical kyphosis, without anterior head translation, and without posterior thoracic translation in order to

determine an “ideal” thoracic model.

            With CBP®¨ research projects published in other peer-reviewed journals, the total is 48 of our CBP®¨ research projects published/accepted (in the following list of sixty [48/60]). We have an additional 4 other papers in review at present. Thus, we are getting very close to 52 published/accepted papers and are on our way to 60!! While others may brag about their number of presentations at conferences, no one in chiropractic has the published papers in quality peer-reviewed indexed journals that CBP®¨ has!

            Without your help, we cannot finish some of these important studies. Please send in your 2001 CBP®¨ Nonprofit dues ($250/yr due in Jan 2001) and an additional check for our Mississippi State University project. CBP®¨ Nonprofit has official status with the IRS and your donations are tax deductible.

            As a reminder, we wish to fund a graduate student to derive a finite element model of the cervical spine under Bill Jones, PhD (Mechanical Engineering Department, Mississippi State

University). This model would provide the vehicle for us to calculate stresses on the anterior vertebral bodies in abnormal configurations of the cervical spine. For that goal, we would need an additional $20,000 in donations for fiscal year 2000-2001!! I have enclosed a separate coupon for donations to this project. We hope to collect this amount in the next four months.
