In this week's mini-episode, we're discussing the anatomic hierarchy!  The anatomic hierarchy is a simple but powerful mental model that organizes our body into six major tools, from strongest to weakest: our torso, our two legs, our two arms, and our head.  The anatomic hierarchy teaches us that when attacking, we should use as many of our weapons as possible, especially the stronger ones.  And we'll also have better success if we're attacking a weaker part of our opponent's body.Get our Intro to Mechanics audio course, normally $79, FREE:https://bjjmentalmodels.com/freeintroDon't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.

Episode 174: GERD in AdultsCommon and atypical symptoms are presented. Pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management are discussed. H. pylori's role is discussed during this episode. Written by Jacquelyn Garcia MS4 Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home.

It's a common physiological process that happens to many people, especially after meals. Occurs less than twice a week. Associated with mild and temporary symptoms such as heartburn or regurgitation. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): a chronic and more severe form of GER. It occurs when acid reflux happens frequently, typically more than twice a week, and/or causes esophageal injury/complications. -Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD)= GER without evidence of esophageal injury on endoscopy. -Erosive reflux disease (ERD)= GER with evidence of esophageal injury on endoscopy.AFP Journal, January 2024: “Nonerosive GERD does not increase the likelihood of esophageal cancer. However, erosive GERD is associated with a doubled, but still low, risk of developing cancer, with the likelihood increasing over time.”Pathophysiology:The main pathophysiology behind GERD is lower esophageal sphincter (LES) dysfunction which can occur due to the following:-LES Pressure: The LES is a muscular ring at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. It normally maintains a high-pressure zone to prevent reflux. In GERD, the intragastric pressure is higher than the pressure created by the LES. The tone of the LES can be reduced by caffeine, nitroglycerin, and scleroderma. -Transient LES Relaxations (TLESRs): These are normal relaxations of the LES that occur independently of swallowing. In GERD, these relaxations are more frequent or prolonged, allowing acid to reflux into the esophagus.-Anatomic abnormalities: A hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This disrupts the normal anatomy of the gastroesophageal junction, reducing the pressure barrier and promoting reflux.Epidemiology: It affects 10-20% of adults in Western cultures and less than 5% in Asia. Prevalence in the US ranges from 18.1% to 27.8% with a slightly higher rate in men. Risk factors: -Obesity, pregnancy, scleroderma, hiatal hernia; smoking, caffeine, alcohol, stress, fatty/fried/spicy foods. Spicy foods can be a challenge in some cultures (e.g. Mexican and Indian.) Sometimes, patients may ask for “something” to stop GERD but all they may need is dietary modification. -Medications: -aspirin, ibuprofen, clindamycin, tetracycline, bisphosphonates (irritate the esophagus and cause heartburn pain similar to GERD) -anticholinergics, TCA's, CCB's, ACEi, statins, benzodiazepines, theophylline, opioids, progesterone (increase acid reflux and worsen GERD)Clinical features: Typical symptoms: -heartburn (burning retrosternal pain) -regurgitation (acidic stomach contents)Atypical symptoms: -chest pain (can mimic angina pectoris, squeezing/burning substernal, radiates to back/neck/jaw/arm) -water brash (hypersalivation)-globus sensation (lump in throat)-nausea -belching-bloating Alarm features in GERD: -dysphagia-odynophagia (pain with swallowing)-new onset of dyspepsia in ≥60yo -weight loss-GI bleeding-vomiting-anemia Diagnosis: -There is no gold standard test -Patient with typical symptoms: diagnosis can be based on clinical symptoms alone -Patient with atypical symptoms: these symptoms can be seen in GERD but are not sufficient for diagnosis of GERD in the absence of typical symptoms. Need to rule out other disorders before associating the symptoms with GERD. (ex: chest pain r/o other causes such as MI with ECG) -Patient with alarm features: refer to GI for upper GI endoscopy. Complications: -Esophagitis: Erosive reflux disease (ERD) = GER with evidence of esophageal distal injury on endoscopy; in untreated GERD 30% have esophagitis. -Iron deficiency anemia: due to mucosal ulcerations -> chronic bleeding.-Esophageal stricture: narrowing near GE junction, solid food dysphagia.-Barrett Esophagus: intestinal metaplasia of esophagus due to chronic GERD (stratified squamous epithelium replaced by columnar epithelium)-Risk factors: GERD for 5-10 years, >50yo, males, obesity, Caucasian, Tobacco use, family history                 -Predisposes to esophageal adenocarcinoma Role of H. pylori.Sometimes we tend to think that H. pylori is the cause of GERD. “H. pylori infection appears to protect the esophagus from gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma, perhaps by causing chronic gastritis that interferes with acid production.”It is unclear whether long-term use of PPIs heightens the risk of atrophic gastritis in patients with H. pylori. Consequently, routine screening for H. pylori infection and empiric eradication of H. pylori are NOT advised for patients with GERD. However, if H. pylori is diagnosed in the setting of GERD, eradication of H. pylori has been associated with an improvement of symptoms in patients with antral-predominant gastritis. Treatment: Two categories: Mild/intermittent symptoms (

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects one of the primary nerves in the wrist area. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. The leading cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is extra pressure on the median nerve at the wrist inside the tunnel. The extra pressure can come from swelling or inflammation of the contents inside the tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms include wrist pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. To better understand carpal tunnel syndrome and how to ease it, it's essential to start by understanding the risk factors that increase the chances of irritation or damage to the median nerve. They include: Anatomic factors: When you have a wrist fracture or dislocation or arthritis that deforms the small bones in the wrist, you may experience an alteration in the space within the carpal tunnel and put pressure on the median nerve. Similarly, people who have smaller carpal tunnels are more susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome.   Gender: Women are more prone to carpal tunnel syndrome as compared to men. This is because women have a relatively more minor carpal tunnel area than men. Inflammatory conditions: People with rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions that have inflammatory components are more susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome. This is because they affect the lining around the tendons in the wrist and put pressure on the median nerve. Nerve-damaging conditions: Certain chronic diseases like diabetes increase the risk of nerve damage, including damage to the median nerve. Obesity: Being obese increases the risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome. Body fluid changes: Fluid retention may increase pressure within the carpal tunnel, irritating the median nerve. It is prevalent during pregnancy and menopause. Workplace factors: Working with vibrating tools that require prolonged or repetitive wrist flexing may create harmful pressure on the median nerve, especially when working in cold environments. Easing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Although there are no proven strategies to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome, you can apply various measures to help ease and minimize pressure on the hands and wrists. These methods are approved by chiropractic care. Have a look! Reduce your force and relax your grip: If your work involves typing using a keyboard, hit the keys softly. Consider using a big pen with an oversized, soft grip adapter and free-flowing ink when engaged in prolonged handwriting. Keyboard and mouse position: Avoid bending your wrist up or down. Ensure you maintain a relaxed middle position by keeping your keyboard at elbow height or slightly lower.Also ensure that your mouse is in a comfortable position to avoid straining your wrist. Improve your posture: Poor posture affects the wrists, fingers and hands. Ensure you are comfortable and not straining. Keep your hands warm: Cold environments may trigger your hands to hurt more. Try to control the temperatures by wearing warm gloves. Physical therapy: It helps strengthen muscles around your wrist and increase flexibility. It's essential to ensure you get diagnoses and treatment to avoid permanent damage to your median nerve. Our chiropractic treatment will walk with you through the carpal tunnel syndrome recovery journey and offer therapy sessions and the best guide. Our professional chiropractors will focus on gentle manipulation of the wrist and elbow to help ease the pain. To get more details on our chiropractic practices focused on carpal tunnel syndrome, contact Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC.

Graham Whiteside was born into his healthcare and education career. His father, Frank Whiteside, was a British Royal Army Medical Corps, State Registered Nurse that used to practice his medical talks & demonstration for troops with Graham as his audience. He would assist his father when he provided medical cover at rodeos & gymkhana's and trusted his father to set him on fire for a simulated Military Field Kitchen Explosion in 1985. Graham went on to train and work for 15 years, as a General & Cardiothoracic ICU and Psychiatric Nurse. In 2000, Graham earned his Bachelors Degree in Nursing Science with First Class Honors at the  and subsequently pivoted in 2001 into medical device sales. In 2006, Graham's fascination with education led him to a healthcare simulation company, Limbs & Things, which brought him to the United States in 2008. Since then, he has enjoyed leadership roles with companies that have enabled him to support special interest groups aimed at improving education, clinical practice and patient safety, including Limbs & Things, B-Line Medical, SIMnext, the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, SimGHOSTS, the American College of Surgeons, and the Global Network for Simulation in Healthcare. Culminating in him contributing work to three medical simulation-related textbooks. In 2015, Graham's desire to support improvements in health care education led him to partner with , the creator of real human specimens preserved through plastination. In 2018, the relationship was formalized with the establishment of Anatomic Excellence, which serves as the exclusive full range agent for the acquisition of  in the US, Canada and the Caribbean.

New Retina Radio was at ASRS 2023 to cover the stories you may have missed.    How often do patients return to the clinic on time for anti-VEGF injections? Christina Y. Weng, MD, MBA, and her team explored how often patients missed scheduled appointments, by how much, and whether missing appointments affected patient outcomes.    And Nikolas JS London, MD, joined us in our mobile studio in Seattle to tell us about anatomic outcomes in wet AMD patients after faricimab (Vabysmo, Genentech/Roche) treatment.    This is episode 1 of 2 covering the 2023 ASRS Annual Meeting. Keep an eye on your feed for episode 2.  

Medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC) reconstruction plays an important role in the surgical treatment of patellar instability. Anatomic reconstruction is critical in re-creating the native function of the ligament, which includes minimizing length changes that occur in early flexion. Anatomic risk factors for patellar instability such as trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, and increased tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance have been shown to influence the function of the MPFC graft in cadaveric studies, but the native length change patterns of the MPFC fibers in knees with anatomic risk factors have not been described.   In conclusion, the MPFC fibers demonstrated increased length changes in knees when a greater number of morphological risk factors for patellar instability were present, which worsened in the setting of nonanatomic configurations. This suggests that the function of the intact MPFC in patients with anatomic risk factors may not reflect previously described findings in anatomically normal knees. Further studies are needed to understand the pathoanatomy related to these changes, as well as the implications for graft placement and assessment of length changes during MPFC reconstruction techniques.   To read the article, click here.

This episode Luke welcomes in Dr. Doug Phillips, Legend Orthopedics, Augusta, GA to discuss the differences between an anatomic shoulder replacement and a reverse shoulder replacement.  What are the differences and why would a surgeon do a Reverse vs a standard anatomic replacement?  What are the typical follow up appointments look like for the patient and what should they expect?  Tune in and find out.  https://www.peakrehabfitperform.com

Multiple case reports of fifth metatarsal (MT) intramedullary fixation highlight symptomatic hardware with screw head impingement on the cuboid. We developed a fifth MT intramedullary screw trajectory model using weightbearing computed tomography data. The goal was to assess for cuboid impingement with simulated intramedullary screw position. In conclusion, the ideal guidewire placement for fifth MT intramedullary fixation is directly against the cuboid. Approximately 95% of patients would have cuboid impingement if the screw is not countersunk. The oblique fluoroscopic view of the foot is a reliable assessment of screw head impingement on the cuboid.   To view the article click here.

Hi friends! Welcome to episode 0 of my new podcast "Diversify in Path", a podcast that explores how  investing in diversity  can lead to  a high return of investment in pathology and lab medicine by learning from the knowledge and experiences of  diverse voices within in our field. For those who don't know me, I am currently a board certified Anatomic and clinical pathologist pursing fellowship training in Neuropathology and forensics. I switched into pathology from general surgery and have not ONCE regretted the change ….but noticed  an all to familiar pattern that I seen in med school, during residency interviews  and even during national pathology conferences .I want to say this is a project of the heart. A new endeavor  with the aims of this podcast to try to tell the stories of    those who add to the amazing diversity of pathology , laboratory medicine and the medical field as a whole. So join me as I interview collagues at various stages of their careers and in different areas of lab medicine  and hear how they think we can diversify in path Follow me on twitter: @bluehatcomics85

Medical Examiner Dr. Steven C. Campman is San Diego County's Chief Deputy Medical Examiner. He earned his B.S. in Biology from Loyola Marymount University in 1987; graduated from Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, in 1992, and then completed residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at the University of California, Davis Medical Center, in 1997. Following fellowship training in Forensic Pathology with the Northern California Forensic Pathology Group at the Sacramento County Coroner's Office in 1998, he went to work for the US Air Force and was stationed at the Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, in Washington DC, as Associate, then Deputy and Chief Deputy Medical Examiner for Medicolegal Operations and Investigations, until he went to work for the County in 2001 (later continuing to serve in the Air Force Reserve as a Regional Medical Examiner until he retired). He is Board Certified in Anatomical/Clinical, and Forensic Pathology, continues to regularly perform autopsies while managing the Pathology Division of the Medical Examiner's Department, and testifies regularly in CA Superior Court. Learning Points: Deaths due to drug overdoses and drug toxicity are preventable deaths.Drugs taken not from a pharmacy – should be considered deadly. A Medical Examiner is a medical doctor and a coroner is a law enforcement professional. Most of the United States has coroners.Death Certificates are not always accurate. There is an art and education in completing these correctly.Most people do not obtain an autopsy upon deaths. Only about 10% or less of deaths are investigated.Association of death are not typically included in a cause of death. For example, a person who died in a car collision while intoxicated on alcohol and drugs will have a cause of death listed a accident due to blunt force trauma. Fentanyl deaths have more than doubled in San Diego in the past year. Fentanyl deaths can happen fast. Fentanyl has been found in fake pills, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and even vaping products. Hospitals should include fentanyl in urine drugs testing in an automatic and universal manner. This episode was recorded at the end of October when COVID did not attack California. Since then, California has led the nation in COVID deaths.

Getting the lingo downNote: tons of great content similar to this can be found via InterAct.Intersex: term used for a variety of conditions in which someone is born with urologic, reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't fit the binary definitions of female or male. Differences of sex development or DSD: The medical community's umbrella term for a handfull of medical diagnosis where a biological characteristic or anatomical structure does not meet binary definitions of male or female.Not all folks with a DSD diagnosis claim intersex as an identity!One last point: who does and doesn't identify as intersex is always political. It's often based on how people receive the medical framing of the diagnosis. Some intersex advocates expect that in a few years' time, calling intersex a DSD condition will sound like calling someone's gender identity or sexual orientation, a psychological condition. Anatomic variations: a big-picture viewThe overall incidence of any variant of sex development is estimated to be as high as 1.7% of the population (others make lower estimates). This is as common as folks with naturally red hair.These variations can show up on a few different biologic levelsGenetic: e.g. Kleinfelter syndrome and Turner syndromeHormonal: e.g. congenital adrenal hyperplasia or androgen insensitivity syndromeBecause we talk a lot about AIS in this episode, here's some more detail: it's a condition where individuals have XY chromosomes. But the receptor for testosterone has a slightly different shape, so testosterone doesn't dock at the receptor. So the organs and structures formed by testosterone signaling are not there. Anatomic: e.g. gonadal dysgenesis (the gonads - or testes or ovary precursors don't form) Variations can be discovered at different time points throughout someone's lifeGenetic screening or fetal ultrasoundTime of birthChildhood, often while investigating a hernia or abdominal massDuring unrelated abdominal surgery, where sometimes undeveloped gonads are foundAs part of the medical workup when someone who expects to get pregnant cannotThe role of hormones within intersex careThe biology of hormonesBody shape, voice, hair growth and distribution, bone strength, muscle development - these all depend on hormones (like testosterone and estrogen) In binary individuals, these hormones appear around age 5 or 6 and increase around puberty. How does this relate to healthcare for intersex individuals?TL;DR: it depends on the individual. There is no set regimen or hormone therapy for someone based on a particular DSD variation.Some individuals with an intersex condition identify as a gender other than that assigned to them by the time of puberty. Hormone therapy can help alleviate the distress which some folks may feel about their body, and help them achieve their desired form of gender expression.As a reminder: just because someone is intersex doesn't mean they are transgender.Hot take: having the correct amount of hormones for the gender and body that you wish to have is very important.Shifting paradigms of clinical care for intersex folksFor many years, the medical community routinely practiced non-disclosure with intersex patientsThe basic idea behind non-disclosure: clinicians purposefully choose to NOT tell an intersex individual about their variation. The person in question will instead be socialized as either male or female (based on whichever gender “made more sense” given their anatomy).The ideology supporting the practice of nondisclosure goes back to the 1950s, when a psychiatrist named John Money at Johns Hopkins said nurture would always override nature.Why we don't like it: Non-disclosure forces intersex individuals to conform to rigid societal standards, compared with the driving principles of medicine, which are beneficence, autonomy, and justice.Also, clinicians should avoid lying to their patients and should instead tell them the entire truth about their bodyNon-disclosure is (thankfully) falling out of favor, instead replaced by the notion of shared decision making when it comes to clinical care for people with intersex traits or DSD In 2006, a consensus statement came out saying that patients with DSD variations and their families should be told the full truth. This was affirmed again in 2016 update.Though as Dr. Dalke points out, this movement away from non-disclosure is itself a relatively recent and, frankly, radical evolution in care Care for intersex folks: areas for improvementThe language and framework that clinicians use when talking about anatomic variationsMedical language can (and should) present the specific biology of intersex folks in a way that isn't pathologizingFor example, DSDs can be framed as variations - just like red hair vs. blond or brown. (Can you tell we are obsessed with red hair?) Clinicians can partner with their patients to help them find whatever language feels most affirming to themThe assumptions made by the healthcare system about people's bodies, anatomy, sex, and gender Some examples: health forms that only list binary gender options, clinicians that assume a female-presenting individual can become pregnantAn aside to say that these assumptions are damaging for others, too – people who are trans and non-binary and people who have had organs like their breasts, uterus, or testicles removed because of cancerThe physical examA person's body and biology aren't a spectator sportPlease, kick trainees out of the room!Ok, so what does it feel like when things are patient-centered?Patients should feel as if they are in control of every decision that's made in their care. A provider who's really trauma informed is going to check to make sure that a person is giving consent to every aspect of a clinical encounter. A person should feel empowered to say no to something or anything at any point during a clinical encounter or clinical decision making and not feel as though they're doing something wrong or they're going to be punished by the healthcare provider for this.Again, language matters: diagnosis and identityMaria, our community voice, says it best: For most of my life it was a diagnosis and it felt like a diagnosis and I felt different. I just felt different. When I found out I had XY chromosomes, that kind of took me in a new direction - when at your core, you're like, am I a boy? What is a boy? It made me question everything about my identity. And I felt like I sort of started at the bottom to build back up what my identity looks like and where my gender and my sexual orientation, my gender identity, where that all fits in.
