X-ray Grids ABSTRACTS Who Is the Chiropractic Scientific Community? JOSEPH C. KEATING and MARLENE A. YOUNG A need to identify the size of the chiropractic scientific community prompted a survey of the peer reviewed and indexed chiropractic literature. It was found that less than 225 authors (0.6% of the profession in Australia and North America) contribute, and only 57 (0.14%) regularly, to the indexed chiropractic literature. It is imperative that many more chiropractors become involved. INDEX TERMS: CHIROPRACTIC; SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY; SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1987 Sep;17(3):84-6 Towards a Professional Consciousness of the 21st Century JENNIFER R. JAMISON Practitioners working at the primary contact level of health care may be derived from at least four different health professions. While each of these professions has a vested interest in maintaining its identity, it is suggested that there is benefit both for the patient and the primary contact practitioner in actively contributing to a shared body of knowledge and skills. Developments in society and the health care system foreshadow a new form of professional consciousness in the 21st century. INDEX TERMS: CHIROPRACTORS; PRIMARY CONTACT PRACTITIONERS; PATIENT CARE. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1987 Sep;17(3):87-9 Similarities and Difference between Chiropractic and Osteopathy STANLEY P. BOLTON Perspectives on similarities and differences between chiropractic and osteopathy sketches historical and contemporary facts in Australia and overseas. It identifies that chiropractors and osteopaths though different in name and history are, for the most part, viewed by governments in Australia as the same in law; questions the notion of separateness; and points to the natural consequence of the primacy of the law.

KLEYNHANS Models for postgraduate chiropractic education in Australia are explored. These range from academic/didactic programs including masters degrees by research and course work to graduate diploma and certificate courses and professional clinical specialty programs. The Australasian Council on Chiropractic Education initiative in postgraduate education is reviewed including the Commission on Postgraduate Awards, Course Advisory Committees, Boards of Examiners and Postgraduate Colleges. The Phillip Institute of Technology program to prepare candidates for admission as Fellows of the Australasian College of Chiropractic Science is outlined.

J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1987 Sep;17(3):99-102 The Prevention of Obesity in Chiropractic Clinics JENNIFER R. JAMISON Obesity, a prevalent condition in Australia, carries a health penalty. This paper considers how this condition may be diagnosed and provides suggestions for conservative clinical intervention. To be successful, weight loss must be gradual so as to avoid depletion of body cell mass; it must also be compatible with the individual's lifestyle. INDEX TERMS: OBESITY; NUTRITION; CHIROPRACTIC. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1987 Sep;17(3):103-8 The Use of Major and Minor Therapy Forms in Australian Chiropractic Practices CHARLOTTE LEBOEUF, KENT J. PATRICK and JOHN SWATLAND A survey of Australian chiropractors showed that most use five techniques (Diversified, Sacro-Occipital technique, Gonstead, Nimmo and Applied Kinesiology). High velocity adjustive techniques (Diversified and Gonstead) were the most commonly reported major core techniques. Predominantly low velocity manual techniques such as Applied Kinesiology, Sacro-Occipital technique and Nimmo were most commonly reported as minor core techniques. Most employ adjunctive therapies, mainly nutrition, extremity techniques and exercise. INDEX TERMS: CHIROPRACTORS; CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES; ADJUNCTIVE THERAPIES. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1987 Sep;17(3):109-11 Investigation of the Performance of Antiscatter X-ray Grids TOM P. MOLYNEUX, DONALD K. FREEMAN, SCOTT BAINES and REG POOLE Measurements of the main performance parameters of a range of x-ray grids and the subjective radiographic quality indicate that at present aluminium is the preferred interspace material, that the grid ratio for spinal examinations should be at least 10:1, and the highest line density available should be used.
