When the map doesn't match the terrain, sometimes you just make your own path. Natalia Bartlomowicz was born with a rare congenital condition so unique it doesn't even have a name—just a stack of medical files and a body doctors still can't quite predict. In this episode, she opens up about navigating childhood surgeries, a 16-hour operation in Boston, and the emotional toll of being called a “medical mystery.” From discovering she has two uteri to building a safe space for youth with chronic illness, Natalia's story is one of resilience, radical self-advocacy, and finding strength in the unexpected. She talks dating, dignity, and how the healthcare system can better treat patients as people. It's a heartfelt ride through one woman's no-name diagnosis—and the superpower she's made of it.Links:together-we-thrive.caFollow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN

Wie der ausgestorbene Schattenwolf ist Mildly Interesting auch wieder da! 3 Jahre ists her, als wir mit Bachelorarbeitstress und Umzügen aus unserer Studienstadt Maastricht keine Zeit mehr für leicht interessante Wissenschaftsgeschichten mehr hatten. Das ist aber jetzt vorbei! Wir senden nun wieder alle 2 Wochen am (mildly) Mittwoch. Warum gibt es keinen einzigen dokumentierten Fall von einer Person, die blind geboren wurde und Schizophrenie hat? Caro hat spannende Studien gefunden, die Hinweise auf Unterschiede in der Gehirnstruktur blinder Menschen geben könnten.

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Understanding Thoracic Lordosis – What Happens When the Mid-Back Bends the Wrong Way? Episode Summary: Most people know the spine has curves—but not all spinal curves are good. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore thoracic lordosis, an abnormal forward-bending of the mid-back. Dr. Nalda explains how this condition differs from normal spinal alignment, why it often goes hand-in-hand with scoliosis, and what you can do to restore proper spinal shape before symptoms progress. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What Is Thoracic Lordosis? Normally, the thoracic (mid-back) spine should curve backward—a shape called kyphosis Thoracic lordosis occurs when the curve bends forward instead, disrupting spinal mechanics ✅ Why It Matters Thoracic lordosis weakens the spine's ability to handle stress It can contribute to: Progressive scoliosis Neck curvature issues (cervical kyphosis) Lumbar spine instability (spondylolisthesis) Chronic back pain, poor posture, and mobility limitations ✅ What Causes It? Postural habits Congenital defects Post-surgical changes (especially scoliosis surgery with rods) Neuromuscular conditions ✅ Connection to Scoliosis A flat or reversed mid-back curve is often seen in scoliosis cases Patients with flatter thoracic spines are more likely to progress rapidly during growth The rotational nature of scoliosis can flatten or invert normal curves, worsening spinal alignment ✅ How to Fix It You can't "watch and wait" on structural conditions Treatment must target the cause and curve direction At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, Dr. Nalda and his team use: Customized in-office care Targeted therapies to restore curve balance Home rehab programs for long-term stability Key Takeaway: Thoracic lordosis isn't “just posture.” It's a structural issue that can cascade into scoliosis, nerve issues, and even spinal instability. But with proper diagnosis and proactive care, the spine can be reshaped and protected from further damage. Resources & Links:

Congenital heart disease is a general term for a range of birth defects that affect the normal way the heart works.

In this week's episode, we'll learn about stopping myeloma maintenance therapy in the modern era. New research suggests that many patients in remission can discontinue lenalidomide, remaining treatment-free, without jeopardizing disease response. After that: a novel congenital neutropenia syndrome. Mutations in the COPZ1 gene impact myeloid differentiation and development of neutropenia. Researchers describe the mechanisms and propose a treatment strategy for restoring granulopoiesis. Finally, ruxolitinib maintenance therapy after allogeneic transplant. In a phase 2 study, this treatment strategy was associated with low rates of chronic graft-versus-host disease. Investigators say the use of JAK inhibitors in this context warrants further study.Featured Articles: Sustained bone marrow and imaging MRD negativity for 3 years drives discontinuation of maintenance post-ASCT in myelomaA new severe congenital neutropenia syndrome associated with autosomal recessive COPZ1 mutationsLow rates of chronic graft-versus-host disease with ruxolitinib maintenance following allogeneic HCT

Randomized Comparison Trial of Rehabilitation Very Early for Infants with Congenital HemiplegiaRoslyn N Boyd, Susan Greaves, Jenny Ziviani, Iona Novak, Nadia Badawi, Kerstin Pannek, Catherine Elliott, Margaret Wallen, Catherine Morgan, Jane Valentine, Lisa Findlay, Andrea Guzzetta, Koa Whittingham, Robert S Ware, Simona Fiori, Nathalie L Maitre, Jill Heathcock, Kimberley Scott, Ann-Christin Eliasson, Leanne SakzewskiPMID: 39477009 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2024.114381Free articleAbstractObjective: To compare efficacy of constraint-induced movement therapy (Baby-CIMT) with bimanual therapy (Baby-BIM) in infants at high risk of unilateral cerebral palsy.Study design: This was a single-blind, randomized-comparison-trial that had the following inclusion criteria: (1) asymmetric brain lesion (2) absent fidgety General Movements, (3) Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination below cerebral palsy cut-points, (4) entry at 3-9 months of corrected age, and (5) greater than 3-point difference between hands on Hand Assessment Infants (HAI). Infants were randomized to Baby-CIMT or Baby-BIM, which comprised 6-9 months of home-based intervention. Daily dose varied from 20 to 40 minutes according to age (total 70-89.2 hours). Primary outcome measure was the HAI after intervention, with secondary outcomes Mini-Assisting Hand Assessment and Bayley III cognition at 24 months of corrected age.Results: In total, 96 infants (51 male, 52 right hemiplegia) born median at 37-weeks of gestation were randomized to Baby-CIMT (n = 46) or Baby-BIM (n = 50) and commenced intervention at a mean 6.5 (SD 1.6) months corrected age. There were no between group differences immediately after intervention on HAI (mean difference MD 0.98 HAI units, 95% CI 0.94-2.91; P = .31). Both groups demonstrated significant clinically important improvements from baseline to after intervention (Baby-BIM MD 3.48, 95% CI 2.09-4.87; Baby-CIMT MD 4.42, 95% CI 3.07-5.77). At 24 months, 64 infants were diagnosed with unilateral cerebral palsy (35 Baby-CIMT, 29 Baby-BIM). Infants who entered the study between 3 and 6 months of corrected age had greater change in HAI Both Hands Sum Score compared with those who entered at ≥6 months of corrected age (MD 7.17, 95% CI 2.93-11.41, P = .001).Conclusions: Baby-CIMT was not superior to Baby-BIM, and both interventions improved hand development. Infants commencing intervention at greater than 6 months corrected age had greater improvements in hand function.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39477009/

Due to advancements in medical and surgical care, the survival of patients with congenital conditions into adulthood has dramatically increased. However, as these individuals transition to adulthood, their unique physiology, chronic complications, and evolving care needs create significant challenges for their management when they are admitted to adult intensive care units (ICUs). This episode will discuss adult congenital disease in the ICU. Dr. Zanotti is joined by Dr. Cameron Dezfulian, a pediatric and adult critical care physician. He is the director of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program Development for the Section of Critical Care at Texas Children's Hospital and a faculty member at Cardiothoracic Critical Care at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'd love your input on what steps when trying to conceive to have the healthiest pregnancy possible. I love your book, and I'm doing many of the practices in it (epsom baths, IR sauna, taking the greens and daily nutritional support, exercise, etc.). I have done some nutrient testing through a nutritionist, so I'm taking extra vitamin D, B12, and iron. Also, I'm doing the 7-day detox now so that I can do it before trying next month. What is your advice on what I should (and shouldn't) be doing pre-pregnancy, and if there are any other tests you'd recommend (like testing for the Congenital cytomegalovirus infection/CMV)?Thank you for consistently presenting content in a rational, unbiased, and non-fear-mongering way!                                                                                                                                                           Cara: My family does not eat a healthy diet, I know this, but its so hard to change. It's incredibly overwhelming. I have 2 young children and I would like to provide better meals for them but I just get overwhelmed with all the messaging and what to feed them and what not to feed them that I just sink back to what I know and what I know they will eat. Help! where do I start to make changes                                                                                                                                                  Sally: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for your  willingness to help others! I am writing to you in regard of my dad. He is a 60 year old mechanic who has never really taken care of his body. About 4 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer and since has had treatment to essentially kill it. He has been cancer free since. Over the past few months he has been feeling chest tightness and arm pain, which landed him in the ER to get 3 stents put in his main left artery. He is healing and starting to slowly get back to work. I think this was a scare for him and he is going to start taking his eating habits seriously. Anyways, he has been saying for years now that drinking water gives him heartburn. I assume this is all connected back to his diet but wanted to get your thoughts if there is something specific we can look into further. We just ordered him the inflammation test from your site as a starting place. Thanks as always. Sally.                                Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, eat a Mediterranean diet, do the big 5 annually, sauna daily and cold plunge 2-3 times per week. My exercise regimen includes, resistance, HITT and SIT 4-5 times per week. My question is, am I trying too hard? I often feel a wired when I should be tired and alternately run down for no apparent reason. My HRV can be as high as 65 when I'm detoxing and 20-30 when I'm living my normal life. I take a multitude of supplements, based on my IHP's recommendations (ie; all of the basics plus adrenal soothe, adrenal support, estrogen support, DHEA) , as well as several of the supplements you recommend, (ie; Berberine, functional mushrooms, metavolve.). Plus, I take 5 CBD gummies 3 x per day to control anxiety and NAC for mthfr gene. Please advise                                    Carrie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have heard there's some controversy around nano hydroxyapatite, specifically that it can lead to liver and kidney issues, is carcinogenic, etc. This is a great ingredient to build teeth and reduce cavities, but I don't want to give it to my child if it's toxic and builds up in the system. What has your research on this ingredient shown, and are there any safe brands such as Primal Life Organics. If not, what is an alternative.

Send us a textIn the latest episode of MedStar Health DocTalk, orthopedic surgeon Zan Nasser, MD, who specializes in spine surgery, discusses the facts and fiction of scoliosis. From understanding the basics of curvature of the spine, to treatment options, patients, parents, and healthcare professionals alike, this podcast has something for everyone.Contrary to popular belief, scoliosis isn't solely a teenage affliction nor is it caused by poor posture. In fact, scoliosis can develop in individuals of any age, and its severity varies significantly from person to person. Bracing is often the first line of defense for children with mild to moderate curves, and it plays a crucial role in preventing the curvature from worsening. But when does bracing start, and what happens if treatment isn't pursued. Dr. Naseer has details the issues surrounding bracing for pediatric patients and for adults… with practical advice for parents on how to manage bracing routines.Dr. Naseer delves into the more complex aspects of scoliosis management, including surgery. Listeners will also learn about the importance of early diagnosis and regular monitoring. With expert insights from Dr. Zan Naseer, listeners are empowered to understand scoliosis better and to navigate its challenges with confidence. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of scoliosis, its management, and how to support those living with it. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation that could change lives!For more information on Dr. Naseer, go to medstarhealth.org/naseer, or to make an appointment, call 410-248-8054. If you would like to share feedback on this podcast, or suggest a topic for another episode of DocTalk, email Debra Schindler at debra.schindler@medstar.net.For more episodes of MedStar Health DocTalk, go to medstarhealth.org/doctalk.

Today Heidi interviewed Amy Lloyd. Here is a little more about Amy and this episode. In Amy's words: "I graduated nursing school in 2011 and started working in the NICU. I travel nursed and ended up in Denver, CO for 7 years. I mainly worked in the NICU but worked for Nurse Family Partnership for 4 years (an amazing nationwide program for 1st time moms that qualify based on income!)  I got married and moved to Asheville, NC in 2021. We got pregnant on the first try! I did the NIPT and found out we were having a boy! At my first appointment they mentioned I had a bicornuate uterus. Since hearing I had a higher rate of a breech baby I was pretty convinced he would be breech and I would have a scheduled c-section. “Normal” pregnancy. I felt really good. Worked night shift in the NICU until 39 weeks. I got COVID at 26 weeks pregnant. The recommendation then was to have a growth ultrasound. I had one at 34 weeks where they discovered the left side of his heart and aorta were small. I was referred to MFM in Asheville and then onto MFM and cardiology in Charlotte. I was induced at 39.2 at Atrium. I had a good induction…foley bulb, pitocin, epidural, AROM, pushed for 45 minutes. My baby immediately went to the NICU. His echo showed he had coarctation of the aorta and he had surgery at 3 days old! We were in the hospital for 2 weeks before coming home to Asheville. We experienced lots of feeding difficulties. He came home with a NG tube, had reflux, and a weak suck. I was basically exclusively pumping from the start. I weaned off the pump at 9.5 months postpartum. At 3 weeks postpartum I had severe abdominal pain leading me to be readmitted for IV antibiotics. They believe I had endometritis. My baby just turned 1 8/29/22. He is doing great and will continue to be followed by cardiology for life but hopefully should not need any further interventions!" 3 Key takeaways from the podcast that listeners will learn today: Flexibility Advocating for your family 3 Keywords that people would want to search when looking for content that you would provide in this episode: Congenital heart defect Epidural induction Exclusive pumping   Favorite baby product or new motherhood product?

This week we enter the world of cardiac CT for congenital heart disease reviewing a recent report of a survey of congenital cardiologists who perform congenital heart CT scans. What have been the important trends seen in the past decade beyond expansion in the field in general? Why has the use of the CT scan grown at such a rapid clip? How much radiation does a present day CT scan represent for a patient? How are cardiology fellowships responding to the growing role of this modality in the field? How can we more properly assign accurate relative value units (RVU's) to the significant work effort involved in the performance and reporting of this novel modality. We speak with the first author of this week's work, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell, Dr. Rebecca Epstein.  doi: 10.1016/j.jcct.2024.02.002. Epub 2024 Feb 15.

The most common congenital viral infection in children is cytomegalovirus infection (CMV). Oftentimes the mother will experience little to no symptoms, but the virus can significantly affect the newborn, with outcomes ranging from no symptoms to severe systemic and intercranial complications. What if we could prevent this infection all together with a vaccine? A candidate MRNA vaccine against CMV has elicited promising immune responses to date and is on a pathway towards FDA approval. To learn more about this treatment, we are joined by one of the nation's leading experts in vaccine development for the prevention of congenital viral disease. Sallie Permar, MD, is the Nancy C. Paduano Professor and Chair of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine. She serves as pediatrician-in-chief at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. She is also a professor of immunology and microbial pathogenesis at the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences. Some highlights from this episode include:  The scale of impact of congenital CMV in children  Understanding how the virus originates with the mother and affects the baby  Where the CMV vaccine stands in the vaccine development process   Strategies for educating the public and primary care providers on this new treatment    For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

This week we review a recent thought-provoking work on the topic of the dreaded 'pre-authorization' process for procedures being performed in the US. Are there data to support the costs in money and time associated with this process in the world of congenital cardiology? How often are authorizations denied in congenital cardiac cases? Is there any evidence that obtaining insurance pre-authorization improves outcomes? What is the impact of this process on healthcare equity? These are amongst the questions reviewed this week with Dr. Brian Marcus who is a cardiologist and critical care fellow at U. Wisconsin. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-023-03255-1

Pulmonary valve replacement following the arterial switch operation is rare. However, when necessary, how do techniques of transcatheter valve replacement fare for this indication? Why would average outcomes in this setting be less good than in the typical TPVR tetralogy of Fallot patient? How does the presence of stents in the pulmonary arteries in this patient group affect candidacy for TPVR? Are there ways to predict who might be a candidate for a TPVR vs. surgical PVR before coming to the catheterization lab? These are amongst the questions reviewed and posed to Dr. Stephen Nageotte who is the director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at Loma Linda Children's Hospital in Loma Linda, California.  DOI: 10.1002/ccd.31152
