Abstract: The term Non-Medical Surgical Assistant (NMSA) encompasses all roles where healthcare clinicians without a medical degree provide clinical services during the perioperative cycle. The role of NMSA is gaining momentum within Australia. It is timely to ascertain who is preforming the role and quantify the practice setting and scope of practice to enable a nationally recognised platform for role evolution.

11. Why pain research flounders! - From the servitude to fiscal sustenance with confirmation bias.
McKay, ABreck
Australasian Musculoskeletal Medicine, Vol. 20 (Aug 2016)
Abstract: Academic blindness occurs when researchers and reviewers, believing their confirmation bias, obtain or support further research funding and waste that funding on error laden hypotheses and research programmes. This paper addresses three examples, one internationally recognised whiplash research study and two examples of erroneous internationally recognised chronic low back pain (CLBP) research.
12. Lumbar spine disc prolapse: Tilt table inversion - a case series
Patel, Vinay; Kanji, Giresh
Australasian Musculoskeletal Medicine, Vol. 20 (Aug 2016)
Abstract: Lumbar spine pain is the most common musculoskeletal complaint we see in practice. The disc has been found to be the most common source of lumbar spine pain. A disc prolapse occurs when the nucleus of the disc protrudes through a torn annulus. Disc bulges and prolapses can often cause irritation to an adjacent nerve root, and may cause radicular symptoms down the leg.

Griffin, Heather
Australasian Musculoskeletal Medicine, Vol. 20 (Aug 2016)

14. The effect of pain catastrophising on functional outcome following total knee arthroplasty
du Toit, Paul Francois
Australasian Musculoskeletal Medicine, Vol. 20 (Aug 2016)
Abstract: Total Knee Arthroplasty is a common and costly surgical procedure. The majority of patients have successful surgery and post operative rehabilitation, however, there is a group that fail to gain adequate ROM and develop chronic pain. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of pain catastrophising on functional outcome following total knee arthroplasty.
15. Osteoporosis - vitamin D supplements in the older patient; what does the evidence say?
Chandra, Nathaniel
Australasian Musculoskeletal Medicine, Vol. 20 (Aug 2016)
Abstract: In Australia in 2013, there were an estimated 4.7 million people over the age of 50 with either osteoporosis or poor bone health. Generally under-diagnosed, osteoporosis was associated with 144 000 fractures in 2013. With the total cost of osteoporosis estimated to be approximately $7.4 billion per year, the burden of the disease and its complications are enormous.

Nicholas McBride 12:11, May 10 2017
Nearly a third of Maori are skipping health appointments because they associate hospitals with death, according to experts. In the MidCentral district, 29 out of 102 Maori (28.4 per cent) did not attend their first urology appointment last year.

21. Theresa Gattung: 100 years on, still waiting for equal pay
Stuff – May 10, 2017
This column falls into the category of "I can't believe we are still talking about this stuff". Green MP Jan Logie's Private Member's Equal Pay Amendment Bill is due before Parliament today. New Zealand women are paid on average 12 per cent less an hour than men. Most of this difference can't be explained away by arguments such as education or time out of the workforce bringing up children.

Stuff - 09 May 2017
A clinical trial by the University of Auckland is calling for smokers in Wellington and the Wairarapa to take part in their stop-smoking programme using nicotine patches and e-cigarettes. “We want to find out how effective the current most popular, proven quit smoking treatment (the nicotine patch) is at helping people quit smoking when used alone or in combination with e-cigarettes,” says Associate Professor Natalie Walker, the lead researcher on the trial.

23. Emotional eating: why we do it and how to manage it
The Age – 3 May 2017
It's called "comfort food" for a reason; it's a common instinct for children and adults to self-soothe through food. But why are some of us more likely to eat when upset? And where does the instinct come from?

24. Why are so many scientists studying this spice?
The Age – 3 May 2017
What do depression, dementia, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and cancer have in common - apart from being modern plagues? They're linked by inflammation - not the acute painful inflammation that erupts from a throat infection and then subsides, but the chronic inflammation that smoulders in the body and is linked to many chronic diseases. Curcumin, an ingredient in turmeric, has researchers excited.
