Why do some patients struggle with anesthesia, requiring multiple cartridges just to get numb? Could your TMD patients have an underlying systemic condition that's been missed? Are you overlooking the signs of a connective tissue disorder? https://youtu.be/gaoJKPTV_Z0 Watch PDP222 on Youtube ”When you can't connect the issue, think connective tissue!” Dr. Audrey Kershaw joins Jaz for a fascinating deep dive into the world of connective tissue disorders and their hidden impact on dentistry. Together, they explore how hypermobility, unexplained joint issues, and even a history of spontaneous injuries could be key indicators of an underlying disorder. They also break down why dentists play a crucial role in screening and identifying these conditions, ensuring better patient outcomes and a more holistic approach to care. Because sometimes, when things don't seem connected… they actually are. Protrusive Dental Pearl: Don't just take a "relevant" medical history—take a comprehensive one! Encourage patients to share all health issues, even those they don't think relate to dentistry. You might uncover important clues about conditions like connective tissue disorders or sleep-disordered breathing, leading to better care and stronger patient trust. Key Take-aways Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed. Patients with connective tissue disorders often face skepticism from healthcare providers. POTS is a common condition associated with EDS that affects blood pressure regulation. Many TMD patients may have undiagnosed connective tissue disorders. Awareness and education about EDS are crucial for better patient outcomes. The healthcare system can be challenging for patients seeking diagnoses. Research on local anesthetic effectiveness in EDS patients is lacking. Personal experiences can help in understanding and diagnosing connective tissue disorders. Collaboration between healthcare professionals is essential for patient care. Genetic testing is crucial for diagnosing rare types of Ehlers-Danlos. Dental professionals should be aware of the signs of connective tissue disorders. Diagnosis can empower patients to understand their health better. Holistic care is vital in managing symptoms associated with EDS and TMD. Medical histories should be seen as relevant in dental practice.

Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tendons and Human Performance 06:31 Understanding Tendon Injuries and Variability 12:32 The Complexity of Connective Tissue 18:06 Innovative Approaches to Tendon Training 27:55 High Intensity vs. Low Intensity Training for Tendons 30:40 Understanding Tendon Strain in Endurance Athletes 33:21 Connective Tissue Behavior and Injury Prevention 36:52 The Role of Genetics and Abnormal Connective Tissue 39:45 Assessing and Training Connective Tissue 43:11 Restoring Normal Connective Tissue Architecture 46:59 Manipulating Load, Length, and Time for Adaptation 50:40 Dynamic vs. Static Training for Connective Tissue 54:12 Integrating Multiple Training Qualities 58:52 Programming for Adaptation, Not Just Exercises   Takeaways Taylor Starch has been in the strength and conditioning industry for about 15 years. His interest in tendons grew from personal injuries and working with military athletes. Understanding tendons requires recognizing their complexity and variability. Different tissues in the body respond to different types of training. Tendons need strain to gain strength and resilience. Training should not just focus on one position or angle. Low intensity durability is crucial for tendon health. High intensity repeatability helps in sustaining performance under strain. The bigger the base of connective tissue strength, the higher the peak performance. Innovative training methods can help address specific tendon issues effectively. Endurance athletes experience significant tendon strain but manage it effectively. Connective tissue behavior is crucial for injury prevention. Genetics play a role in tendon health and injury susceptibility. Assessing connective tissue is essential for understanding injury risk. Training should focus on restoring normal connective tissue architecture. Manipulating load, length, and time is key to adaptation. Static training is often overlooked in favor of dynamic work. Integrating multiple training qualities is necessary for performance. Understanding adaptations is more important than just knowing exercises. Progressive overload is essential for long-term connective tissue health.   Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-138-tendons-with-taylor-starch/

Did you know your body's connective tissues might be trapping trauma and toxins? In this short episode, Dr. Aimie is sharing valuable insights from her episode with Dr. Christine Schaffner. She talks about the biology behind how trauma manifests in the body through the extracellular matrix, fascia, and lymphatic system.  You'll hear more on: How these connective tissues work The healing sequence to follow to start your healing journey Which system to address first when looking at stored trauma If you want to more fully understand this topic, head over to Episode 108: How The Body Stores Emotional Trauma in the Fascia and Lymphatic System with Dr. Christine Schaffner   Disclaimer: By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice to treat any medical condition in either yourself or others.

Glucose is the main source of energy for all forms of life, but it isn't usually stored as individual C6H12O6 molecules. Animals use glycogen to do that job. Glycogen is a large branched polymer of glucose molecules, linked together by α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic bonds. The liver and muscles break down the stored glycogen whenever the body needs an extra boost of glucose. Glycogen storage diseases are genetic defects in glycogen metabolism resulting in accumulation of glycogen. What happens when macromolecules accumulate in cells? Cell damage and dysfunction. Because the liver and muscles are the two main organs that use glycogen, they are also the two most affected by glycogen storage diseases. In the liver, glycogen accumulation leads to hypoglycemia since the glycogen can't be broken down to glucose. Damage to the liver from extra glycogen can also lead to liver failure or even liver cancers. In the muscles, glycogen accumulation causes weakness, exercise intolerance, and potentially heart failure. There are at least 12 distinct glycogen storage diseases, but we'll cover only the 4 most common ones. After listening to this Audio Brick, you should be able to: Identify the most common glycogen storage diseases: von Gierke disease (type 1), Pompe disease (type 2), Cori disease (type 3), and McArdle disease (type 5). Identify the enzymes deficient in each of the most common glycogen storage diseases. Describe the clinical manifestations of each of the most common glycogen storage diseases. Describe management for each of the most common glycogen storage diseases. You can also check out the original brick from our Cellular and Molecular Biology collection, which is available for free.

Tyler Nelson is back on the podcast and this time he brought a friend, Rob Hunter! Rob and Tyler are both seasoned experts in training high level athletes in their businesses, My Therapy Physio and Performance and Camp 4 Human Performance.This chat came about because Tyler worked with Rob to help him prepare for a V14/15 project and in doing so Rob nearly doubled his finger strength on an overcoming isometric test. That's a big deal, but what makes this an even bigger deal is that Rob is a V14 climber, 48 years old, and has 30+ years of hard training already under his belt. Rob is no stranger to training either as he recently retired as the Head Coach of the Irish Climbing Team, and has a degree in Sport Therapy.Tune in to hear more about the subtle change in finger training the was so successful for Rob. How “squeezing the lemon” can help with finger strength gains while simultaneously reducing injury risk and total fatigue. Learn about why we should focus on muscular adaptations during our training rather than connective tissue ones. And how intention is the key to strength gains instead of absolute numbers.Look below at the Show Notes for videos that help demonstrate the training talked about in the episode.SHOW NOTES:Rob Hunter's InstagramTyler Nelson's InstagramRob's Business, My Therapy PhysioTyler's Company, Camp 4 Human PerformanceTyler's YouTube ChannelTyler's Demonstration Of Overcoming IsometricsSqueezing The Lemon / Orange DemonstrationTyler's Demonstration Of “Finger Curling”Tyler's Previous Testpiece Episode, #114Support the showSupport us on Patreon: HEREVisit our podcast page: HERESign-up with one of our coaches: HEREFollow us on Instagram: HERE

In this interview, Drs. Scali and Spratt discuss how the historical norms are being challenged for connective tissue disease patients (CTD) and endovascular repair.

Early in fetal development, the precursors of the major systems in the body are outlined. The three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm) are formed during the third week of development. We'll focus on the ectoderm, from which the entire nervous system (central and peripheral) forms. But first, let's back up to review the anatomy of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) so that we know what the end products of their development are. The CNS comprises the brain and spinal cord; the PNS is composed of the 31 pairs of spinal and 12 pairs of cranial nerves and all the ganglia. After listening to this AudioBrick, you should be able to: List the derivatives of ectoderm. Define neurulation and explain how it occurs, including closure and the dates of neuropore closure. Describe the origin, migration, and fate of neural crest cells, particularly those that form the peripheral nervous system. Explain how the neural tube is organized into three layers. Describe how the spinal cord develops from the neural tube, and describe the contributions of each to these layers to the structure of the mature spinal cord, with emphasis on the alar and basal plates. Describe the development of the brain, including the five brain vesicles, the brainstem, and the cerebral cortex. You can also check out the original brick on the development of the nervous system from our Neurology and Special Senses collection, which is available for free.

FASCIA: Keeping Your Connective Tissue Healthy & Flexible with Susan Smith Jones, PhD For a woman with three of America's most ordinary names, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, has certainly made extraordinary contributions in the fields of holistic health, anti-aging, optimum nutrition and balanced living. For starters, she taught students, staff and faculty at UCLA how to be healthy and fit for 30 years! Susan is a frequent radio/podcast and TV talk show guest and motivational speaker; she's also the author of many books, including UPLIFTED and the new companion book A HUG IN A MUG: Revitalize with Fruits, Veggies, Juices, Soups, Spices, Teas & Healthy Living Extras. Refer to her website to find out how to get personally autographed copies of these two books. As I read about in our guest's new book — A HUG IN A MUG, and on her website, the fascia is the thin sheath of fibrous tissue enclosing every muscle and organ; it's an intricate web that connects every part of our entire body. This continuous network throughout your body is crucial for health, pain perception, and movement. Today, holistic health and lifestyle expert, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, will cover the ABCs of fascia and how to keep your fascia healthy and flexible. Get out your pen and paper because you'll want to take notes during our eye-opening discussion.

What are bullous skin disorders? Bullae are fluid-filled blisters >1 cm in diameter. They can be caused by infection, mechanical stress, or a malfunctioning immune system. In this discussion, we tackle the latter, focusing on the most common autoimmune bullous (blistering) disorders: pemphigus vulgaris, bullous pemphigoid, and dermatitis herpetiformis. Distinctly, the blisters in each of these disorders involve different layers of the skin and autoantibodies against different proteins.

College has become the dividing line in America, not just economically, but socially, too. Sam Pressler, a practitioner fellow at the University of Virginia and a research affiliate at the Harvard Human Flourishing Program, joins Oren to discuss the crisis this is fueling for young Americans who don't go to college as they navigate the transition to adulthood alone.The two talk through the history of college as a communal exercise and how it's devolved into the "great sorter" of class in America, as well as the resulting "structural forms of loneliness" for young people who don't pursue a four-year degree and the "extracurricular arms race" for kids trying to get in. And they unpack the embryonic remedies various states have rolled out to address the situation.For more, read Pressler's recent essay on The Commons, "From the ‘Great Connector' to the ‘Great Sorter'," and check out his full policy framework, "Connective Tissue," aimed at helping policymakers regenerate communities.

Epithelium is one of the four basic tissue types (the other three are muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue). It is found throughout the body—covering it; lining organs, vessels, and cavities; and forming glands. It absorbs nutrients, transports electrolytes, secretes hormones, and regulates body temperature by producing sweat. We begin with some general principles of how epithelial tissue is organized, and then we describe its various components. After listening to this AudioBrick, you should be able to: List the two types of epithelium (covering/lining and glandular) and describe their functions. Describe the structure and histologic features of epithelial tissue. Explain how covering/lining epithelium is classified. Describe the histologic features of glandular epithelium. Describe the five types of epithelial intercellular junctions. You can also check out the original brick on the Histology of Epithelial Tissue from our Musculoskeletal, Skin, and Connective Tissue collection, which is available for free.

Dr Thierry Alcindor from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, and Dr Mrinal Gounder from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, New York, summarize the treatment landscape for desmoid tumors and review novel options for targeted therapy, moderated by Dr Neil Love. Produced by Research To Practice. CME information and select publications here (https://www.researchtopractice.com/DesmoidTumors24).

This podcast episode features a deep dive into the Connective Tissue framework for increasing social connection, with its author Sam Pressler. The framework includes recommendations as to what policymakers and others can do at federal, state and local levels to increase social connections. The Connective Tissue site is organized into four major categories: 1) Foundational Changes; 2) Community Institutions; 3) Life Transitions and 4) Enabling Conditions.  During the conversation, Sam addresses the broader societal trends contributing to social disconnection. He identifies several key factors, including the decline of traditional institutions like religious organizations, civic groups, and unions, which historically provided stability and a sense of belonging. He notes that these changes disproportionately affect individuals without college degrees, who face higher barriers to civic engagement and social support. The data presented reveals alarming statistics about friendship and social networks, illustrating a growing divide in social capital based on educational attainment. Sam explores potential policy interventions aimed at strengthening social connections. He argues that while policy alone cannot solve these issues, it can play an important role in addressing the structural challenges that lead to disconnection. He advocates for a multi-faceted approach that considers local solutions tailored to community needs, rather than relying solely on top-down policies. Throughout the conversation, host David Crowley incorporates various ways the Connective Tissue framework relates to the work of Social Capital Inc.  This episode serves as both an insightful exploration of the challenges surrounding social connection and a call to action for listeners to engage in fostering community ties in their own lives.   Guest Bio: Sam Pressler is a Practitioner Fellow at the University of Virginia's Karsh Institute of Democracy, a Research Affiliate at the Harvard Human Flourishing Program, and the author of Connective Tissue, a policy framework for the role of government in regenerating connection in American communities. In his past life, he founded and led the Armed Services Arts Partnership, America's largest community arts organization serving veterans and their families.

Mixed connective tissue diseases. I'm Annette Leonard of https://www.annetteleonard.com find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theannetteleonard These are rare diseases. There are three primary manifestations: lupus SLE, scleroderma, and polymyositis. We have connective tissues all over our body so when they break down the results can be disastrous. While there are ways to test for these diseases -- they are often difficult/undiagnosed because they are so rare, doctors often overlook them or fail to screen for them. All mixed connective tissue diseases are autoimmune in nature. Currently there are no known genetic links to MCTDs however, if you have a close relative with one, you are more likely to have one. Do you have a MCTD? Here are some of the early symptoms to watch out for and report to your doctors if you are experiencing.

He likens product managers to the circulatory system of a company, highlighting their role in connecting various parts of the organization and ensuring smooth operations, much like how symbolic systems integrate diverse fields to create cohesive understanding.2-The Role of Connective Tissue in Organizations: Both Stewart and Cody discuss the metaphor of connective tissue within organizations. Just as connective tissue holds the human body together, product managers serve as the essential link between different departments, facilitating communication and collaboration. This metaphor underscores the critical, often unseen, work that product managers do to maintain organizational coherence and functionality.3-The Evolving Nature of Knowledge Management with AI: Cody touches on the transformative potential of AI in knowledge management, particularly in note-taking and information retrieval. He explains how tools like IdeaFlow are being developed to not only record conversations but also extract and organize key insights, creating structured knowledge bases that enhance both personal and organizational productivity.4-The Concept of the Third Brain: Building on the ideas of the first brain (biological memory) and the second brain (written or digital notes), the conversation introduces the notion of a third brain—AI. This third brain represents a new layer of cognition and information processing, enabling humans to outsource and enhance their memory and analytical capabilities. The discussion reflects on how AI, as this third brain, is reshaping our approach to knowledge and creativity.5-The Dual Nature of Human and AI Cognition: The episode delves into the philosophical aspects of human and AI cognition. Stewart and Cody explore the distinctions between knowing and knowing about, emphasizing that while AI can process and analyze vast amounts of information, it lacks the experiential and conscious aspects of human knowledge. This conversation highlights the complementary strengths of human intuition and AI's analytical power.6-Impact of AI on the Music Industry: Stewart brings up the impact of AI on the music industry, noting how AI-generated music and advanced recommendation systems are changing how music is created and consumed. They discuss the potential for AI to democratize music production, making it easier for new artists to create and distribute their work, while also raising questions about the sustainability of current business models like Spotify's.7-The Intersection of Art, Capitalism, and Technology: Reflecting on the broader implications of technological advancements, Cody and Stewart consider how capitalism and art intersect within the realm of AI and digital innovation. They discuss how economic structures influence the development and dissemination of technology and art, and how AI might accelerate trends that reflect both the creative and exploitative potentials of these systems.

In this episode of the Bendy Bodies podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, hosts an enlightening discussion with Dr. Karen Herbst, a leading expert on lipedema and other adipose connective tissue diseases. Dr. Herbst shares her extensive knowledge on the complexities of lipedema, Durkheim's disease, and their connection to connective tissue disorders, inflammation, and hormonal factors. Learn about the latest research, diagnostic challenges, and effective treatments, including diet, supplements, and surgery. Don't miss the valuable insights and practical advice shared in this episode. Takeaways: Lipedema Misdiagnosis: Lipedema is often misdiagnosed as regular obesity or confused with lymphedema, highlighting the need for better awareness and diagnostic criteria. Connection to Hormones: Hormonal changes, such as those during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, can trigger or worsen lipedema due to increased fat and hormonal fluctuations. Inflammation and Fibrosis: Inflammation in lipedema leads to fibrosis, making the tissue nodular and tender, and potentially contributing to the chronic pain experienced by patients. Diet and Supplements: Anti-inflammatory diets, intermittent fasting, and certain supplements like diosmin and CoQ10 can help manage lipedema symptoms by reducing inflammation and supporting metabolic health. Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments: While liposuction can significantly improve symptoms, non-surgical treatments such as compression therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, and whole-body vibration are also beneficial in managing lipedema.

In this conversation, Dr. Linda Bluestein interviews Ashok Gupta about his experience breaking the vicious cycle of chronic illness when he had ME-CFS.  They discuss the impact of chronic conditions, the brain's priority of survival, and the vicious cycle of symptoms. Ashok explains the Gupta Program, which aims to make patients aware of subtle danger signals in the brain and retrain the brain's response. They also explore the concept of neuroimmune conditioned syndromes and address common myths about brain retraining. With a focus on hypermobility, they discuss the time commitment required to see results, different ways to engage with the program, the importance of somatic retraining and its impact on brain structures, and how clinicians can recommend brain retraining to their patients without sounding like gaslighting. They also explore the duration of the program, potential worsening during the program, and the accessibility and cost of the program. The conversation ends with a discussion on the power of neuroplasticity and a hypermobility hack to make friends with your body.TakeawaysChronic conditions often accompany joint hypermobility and can have a significant impact on individuals and the global economy.Brain retraining involves making patients aware of subtle danger signals in the brain and retraining the brain's response.The brain's priority is survival, which can lead to maladaptive responses and chronic illness.The Gupta program has shown promising results in improving symptoms and overall health in various conditions. Brain retraining requires a time commitment of at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, along with short exercises throughout the day.An independent audit looked at 16 different conditions for three months.  They found improvement of 84% with Long COVID, 116% with Lyme disease, 67% with mold illness, and 85% with chemical sensitivitiesClinicians can recommend brain retraining by emphasizing that it is not in the mind but in the brain, and that the brain is triggering the immune and nervous systems.The program is a minimum six-month commitment, but some people may continue for longer to maintain their progress and manage stress levels.Some individuals may experience temporary worsening during the program, but with support and a balanced approach, positive results can be achieved.Healing and recovery are possible, and the brain's neuroplasticity allows for rewiring and improvement in various chronic conditions.Making friends with your body and accepting hypermobility as an attribute can shift your perspective and contribute to healing.The Gupta Program offers a free 28-day trial and a one-year money-back guarantee, making it accessible and low-risk for individuals seeking relief from chronic illnesses.Chapters ➡00:00 Introduction and Background01:43 The Impact of Chronic Conditions04:05 Understanding Brain Retraining05:21 The Brain's Priority: Survival09:40 The Vicious Cycle of Symptoms12:46 The Gupta Program16:28 Neuroimmune Conditioned Syndromes30:33 Time commitment for results33:07 Somatic retraining and brain structures34:23 Recommending brain retraining to patients36:06 Addressing the software issues37:58 Effectiveness of medications with brain retraining39:08 Duration of the program41:50 Potential worsening during the program43:15 Final thoughts and hope for healing45:28 Neuroplasticity and changing the brain51:22 Hypermobility hack: Make friends with your body52:30 Where to find more information about the program58:18 Duration and cost of the program59:25 Accessibility and money-back guaranteeConnect with YOUR Bendy Specialist, Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD at https://www.hypermobilitymd.com/.   Thank YOU so much for tuning in.

  This week on Connective Tissue? We are going to take a: “pause-for-the-cause”,  and look back at our last SEVEN guests. The density and quality of content, that these SEVEN storytellers have shared with us, makes it all together appropriate and fitting, that we “...take a breath.”  …That we revisit a few of their storytelling “gems”.  And, that we take a moment to APPRECIATE and possibly even LEARN and TAKE-AWAY, as much as we can, from these extraordinary storytellers?  Each one of whom, has managed to craft the relevance of their message, into an abundance of “cross-over-worthy-material”, that has: surprised us,  moved us,  transported us,  enriched us,  and ultimately,  has offered us the CONNECTION: that we so often crave from those that we listen TO, in this podcasting format.
