This is an IMPORTANT conversation with Dr Jean-Claude Guimberteau, who is famous for his videos of the Fascia Matrix IN VIVO. In vivo means “in the living body”, and in this interview he explains the difference between learning anatomy from dead or living bodies. We make different conclusions when we learn in these different ways - and it matters.Fascia is essentially, our living tissue architecture. It's alive and well to the extent that we are - and you could say we are alive and well to the extent that it is! Essentially, your fascia is organising you anyway - and Dr Guimberteau tells us why this is so important.In fact it matters so much that we decided to re-release this gem of a conversation from our archives so that more of you can hear it. We also talk about the inspiration and motivation behind bringing his work to the public domain, the relationship between fractal chaos and efficient movement, and the non-linear nature of all biological forms. Dr Guimberteau also treated us to some philosophical reflections on the deep wisdom that comes when we accept the unpredictable nature of the fascial fibres within us...ABOUT DR JEAN CLAUDE GUIMBERTEAUDr Jean-Claude Guimberteau is co-founder and scientific director of the Institut Aquitain de la Main, and former President of the French Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (2011-2012) (SOFCPRE).  Through his innovative use of video-endoscopy investigating the fascia matrix, Dr Guimberteau has revolutionised our understanding of living human architecture. https://www.endovivo.com/SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective' and pop in your details.

Anticommunism in French Society and Politics, 1945-1953 (Oxford UP, 2023) evaluates the prevalence of anticommunism among the French population in 1945 to 1953, and examines its causes, character, and consequences through a series of case studies on different segments of French society. These include the scouting movement; family organisations; agricultural associations; middle-class groups; and trade unions and other working-class organisations. Aaron Clift contends that anticommunism was more widespread and deeply rooted than previously believed, and had a substantial impact on national politics and on these social groups and organisations.  Furthermore, he argues that the study of anticommunism allows us a deeper understanding of the values they regarded as the most important to defend. Although anticommunism was a diverse phenomenon, this work identifies common discourses, including portrayals of communism as a threat to the nation; the colonial empire; the traditional family; private property; religion; the rural world; and Western civilisation. It also highlights common aims (such as the rehabilitation of wartime collaborators) and tactics (such as the invocation of apoliticism). While acknowledging the importance of the Cold War, it rejects the assumption that anticommunism was an American import or foreign to French society and demonstrates links between anticommunism and anti-Americanism. It concludes that anticommunism drew its strength from the connection or even conflation of communism with perceived negative social changes that were seen to threaten traditional French civilisation, interacting with the postwar international and domestic environment and the personal experiences of individual anticommunists. Aaron Clift received his doctorate from the University of Oxford in 2022, following a Master's at the University of Toronto and a Bachelor's at the University of Victoria. After a stint as a Postdoctoral History Scholar at the University of Calgary, Dr. Clift is now a Fellow at the London School of Economics where he teaches and researches on the Cold War period.

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Jean-Marc Classe to discuss the CHIPOR Trial. Dr. Classe is a surgeon and former head of the surgical department of the Institute of Surgical Oncology of Nantes, France. He is a professor in oncology and president of the French Society of Surgical Oncology.   Highlights: The CHIPOR phase III RCT studied the use of HIPEC in 1st PSROC who underwent complete cytoreductive op after 2nd-line platinum-based chemo. Randomization was performed during complete cytoreductive surgery. The primary endpoint was OS. Results showed HIPEC significantly improved OS, HR 0.69, p=0.020. This study suggests that HIPEC can be a beneficial addition to the tx strategy for women with 1st PSROC when used in conjunction with 2nd-line platinum-based chemo and complete cytoreductive surgery.

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Cyrus Chargari and Christina Fotopoulou to discuss the ESGO/ESTRO quality indicators for radiation therapy for cervical cancer. Dr. Chargari is a radiation oncologist at Pitié Salpêtrière University Hospital – Sorbonne University, Paris, France. He is full professor of oncology and serves as the Secretary-General of the French Society of Radiation Oncology. He is an active member of ESTRO. Dr. Fotopoulou is the Chair of Gynaecological Cancer Surgery at the Department of Surgery and Cancer at Imperial College London, UK. She has served as an elected ESGO council member and Chair of the ESGO and BGCS guidelines committee.   Highlights: Multidisciplinary quality indicators jointly with ESGO and ESTRO about the radiotherapeutic management of cervical cancer. The objective was to provide practitioners and administrators with quantifiable metrics for enhancing clinical care and organizational processes, particularly considering the complexities of modern radiotherapy techniques. The indicators were established through a combination of scientific evidence and expert consensus. The development process involved literature review, expert meetings, validation, and external review by clinicians. The resulting set of 19 indicators covers pre-treatment, treatment, and outcomes, and aims to standardize radiation therapy quality, with the next step being the accreditation of centers for cervical cancer management in the quality assurance process.

Jean Claude Guimberteau is co-founder and scientific director of the Institut Aquitain de la Main, and former President of the French Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (2011-2012) (SOFCPRE).  Through his innovative use of video-endoscopy investigating the fascia matrix, Dr Guimberteau has revolutionised our understanding of living human architecture.  In this episode we talk about the inspiration and motivation behind bringing his work to the public domain, the relationship between fractal chaos and efficient movement and the non-linear nature of all biological forms!! (A subject dear to my heart!!). Jean Claude also treated us to some philosophical reflections on the deep wisdom that comes when we accept the unpredictable nature of the fascial fibres within us.  There is so much gold in this interview, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. https://www.endovivo.com/

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Jean-Marc Classe and Florence Joly to discuss the CHRONO trial. Dr. Classe is a surgeon and former head of the surgical department of the Institute of Surgical Oncology of Nantes, France. He is a professor in oncology and president of the French Society of Surgical Oncology. Dr. Joly is a medical oncologist and coordinator of gynecological and genito-urinary medical oncology. She is also the head of the clinical research department of Francois Baclesse Comprehensive Cancer Center in Caen, France. She is a professor in medical oncology and a member of both the scientific board of the GINECO intergroup and the GCIG. Highlights: -In patients treated for an advanced ovarian cancer not suitable to primary surgery, the timing of surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) could depend on chemosensitivity. -When more cycles of NAC are discussed, do not confuse more cycles in order to make the disease suitable to a complete surgery with more cycles in order to perform less surgery. -In cases of patients with a highly chemosensitive advanced ovarian cancer, delaying surgery could reduce surgical morbidity and improve quality of life. -More cycles of NAC to treat a chemosensitive disease could improve the rate of complete surgery and improve the rate of pathological complete response.

On the podcast is Pierre Parneix.Pierre, a French medical doctor, has specialized in public health and infection control since 1992. He is the president of the French Society for Hospital Hygiene and heads up the southwestern France healthcare-associated infection control center based at the Bordeaux university hospital. Pierre was also one of the members of the COVID-19 commission for France for President Macron.Pierre focuses his work on antimicrobial resistance surveillance and prevention in hospitals and communication and intervention support in the field of healthcare-associated infection prevention. On innovation"Infection control is medical science, so you need to have innovation and change. But sometimes people are very reluctant to change, which is why making the change is difficult." "We need to show that innovation could help us to decrease the burden on infection but also help the professionals to do things more easily - any innovation should be helpful in some way." On the cost of outbreaks"It's known that outbreaks of multidrug-resistant organisms can be very expensive - we need to have progress and innovation in this area."

France-based Théa Laboratories may be only 27 years old, but its legacy goes back 150 years. It reaches back to the 1870s, when ophthalmologist Paul Chibret became fascinated with trachoma. He would later help found the French Society of Ophthalmology. Five generations of Chibret doctors and entrepreneurs later, the Chibret family's passion for eye care has led to the development of one of Europe's leading eye-care companies. Now led by chairman Jean-Frédéric Chibret, MBA, the company remains independent, family owned, and 100% ophthalmology focused. While honoring those company values, Jean-Frédéric stays focused on growth. Revenue has increased from €150 million in 2008 to €600 million in 2020. The majority of that—75%—has taken place outside France. Théa's next goal: commercialization in the United States.Listen to Jean-Frédéric's “fireside chat” with Emmetrope founder Joseph Sullivan to discover:● Théa's objectives for the next few years in both existing and new markets.● The progress Théa Open Innovation has made implementing licensing agreements and capital investments with early stage partners. The subsidiary has already signed agreements that help advance treatments for myopia, wet and dry age-related macular degeneration and macular edema.●  How Théa became a leader in Europe and how it plans to continue to use its business formula to tap into the U.S. market.

There are many reasons why osteoarthritis (OA) might develop in the first place, the progression of the disease can vary dramatically between different individuals and their response to different treatments can similarly be quite distinct. With the greater understanding OA pathophysiology, OA can often be described as a spectrum of disease composed of different phenotypes. Some people have even described this as a mixed bag of disorders or falling under the osteoarthritis umbrella. By characterising OA into phenotypes, it helps to improve our knowledge of the disease, and ultimately enables targeted treatment based on the phenotype that a patient presents with. On this episode of Joint Action, we will be speaking to Dr Francis Berenbaum to learn more about osteoarthritis phenotypes, how they are identified and how this affects the management of OA. Dr. Berenbaum is Professor of rheumatology at Sorbonne Université and is the Director of the Department of Rheumatology at AP-HP Saint-Antoine Hospital in Paris, France. He is the national representative of bone and joint diseases at AVIESAN, the French Alliance for the Life Science and Health. He is a member of the EULAR Public Affairs Group and is a former member of the EULAR Scientific Program committee in 2018-2020. He is a former president of OARSI (Osteoarthritis Research Society International) in 2008-2010 and of the French Society of Rheumatology in 2014-2016. He is Associate Editor of the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. Dr Berenbaum leads an experimental team at INSERM institute. His basic research interests include the understanding of relationships between metabolic diseases and osteoarthritis. His clinical research focuses on new targeted therapies for treating symptoms and structural changes in osteoarthritis. He is involved in several clinical trials either from public or private partners. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed publications.RESOURCESJournal articlesOsteoarthritis and inflammation: a serious disease with overlapping phenotypic patternsThe Phenotypic Approach to Osteoarthritis: A Look at Metabolic Syndrome-Associated OsteoarthritisDeep phenotyping of osteoarthritis: a step forwardCONNECT WITH USTwitter: @ProfDavidHunter @jointactionorgEmail: hello@jointaction.infoWebsite: www.jointaction.info/podcastIf you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe to learn more about osteoarthritis from the world's leading experts!

Worldview Wednesday is back after several weeks. And the guys are a little rusty. But God’s word is still good, and still true, and we can all be grateful for that. In this Worldview Wednesday episode you’ll see a theologian and a pastor dissect the latest headlines from France, where President Macron and others are concerned about the influx of woke ideology and the destructive impact it’s having on French society. Specifically, you’ll find out… Joel’s working man’s definition of wokeness. Why Macron considers wokeness an American export. What he suggests as a solution (and why Joel and Pastor Raef don’t like it). How God’s word and the Gospel in particular overcome evil ideologies like wokeness and white supremacy/white nationalism, and bring about true unity in Christ. You’ll also see what happens when the guys discover in real time (as they’re recording) that one of the websites they’re referencing turns out to be… ahem… problematic and hear them denounce it on air. So that’s fun (we didn't write the article, don't endorse it or the website it was posted on, and immediately disavowed it when we saw it might be bad, so cool it Wokies). Here's that Disrn article we discuss: https://disrn.com/news/french-president-macron-says-social-and-racial-theories-entirely-imported-from-the-united-states-are-destroying-french-culture Get more from Raef at raefchenery.com, and be sure to subscribe to his podcast, “The Christian Optimist!” SUBSCRIBE to get equipped to explain, share and defend the Christian message! http://youtube.com/c/thinkinstitute.

Patrick Venail is a 39 year-old, French-Colombian community ecologist. He got his master’s degree in Biodiversity, Evolution and Environment at the Université de Montpellier II (France) on 2006 and his PhD on Ecology and Evolution from the same institution in 2010. In 2011 the French Society of Ecology awarded him as the best young ecology researcher after his publication in Nature about testing the influence of dispersal on the diversity and functioning of experimental metacommunities. From 2010 to 2013 he worked as post-doc fellow, first at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá (Colombia) and later at the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Michigan (USA) where he started using phytoplankton as an experimental model system. Since April 2013 he is a Senior Research and Teaching Assistant at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) in the Microbial Ecology group. His research focuses on understanding biodiversity (that is, the diversity of life). His interests are at the interface between microbiology, ecology and evolution. Working with microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, microscopic algae) allows him to explore both ecological and evolutionary processes simultaneously. He has mostly worked under controlled laboratory conditions but has recently been involved in several fieldwork studies in Russia and Ecuador. Currently he is focused in lake systems and the benefits they provide to humans, and into understanding the link between phytoplankton diversity and water quality. He has contributed to over 20 major scientific publications so far.

Today I’m talking with Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau. Dr Guimberteau practiced for many years as a hand surgeon specializing in microsurgical replantation and transplantation. He is the co-founder and former scientific director of The Aquitany Hand Institute, and was the director of research at the French Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. Many of you know him best for his groundbreaking work exploring and defining the movement of tissues beneath the skin using an intraoperative endoscopic camera to record living tissues, and to develop concepts related to the new paradigm of biological structure in human beings. You can view some of those videos on YouTube, and the DVD and illustrated book, The Architecture of Human Living Fascia, explores the subject very deeply. In our conversation today we talk about how he transitioned out of performing surgery and into this discovery of form. We talk about the multimicrovacuolar collagenous absorbing system, or MVCAS for short, and what it has to do with form, how we are volumes, that the traditional anatomical view point of movment happening in 3 planes is incorrect, how each movement is unique, and that structurally we are an apparent, yet intelligent, chaos.

In this episode, Dr. Marc DuPere talks about body dysmorphic disorder and the role of cosmetic surgery in personal transformation. Long before joining the ranks of Toronto plastic surgeons, Dr. Marc DuPéré was trained in Montréal at the prestigious McGill University Faculty of Medicine from 1991 to 1996 where he was, notably, mentored by Dr. Bruce Williams, a Canadian and North American pioneer in Plastic surgery and a key figure in Dr. DuPéré's choice of vocation and profession. He then attended the world renowned University of Toronto, where he completed his Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in plastic surgery. In 2002, he pursued further training in cosmetic plastic surgery in Paris, France. During this fellowship, he had the opportunity to work with internationally recognized plastic surgeons such as: Dr. Daniel Marchac, specializing in facial plastic surgery; Dr. Gilbert Aiach, a nasal plastic surgeon and president at that time of the French Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery; and Dr. Natalie Bricout and Dr. Sylvain Pétouin, both with strong interests in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery. Dr. DuPéré has since spent time learning the refinements of facial rejuvenation from Dr. Bruce Connell, a prominent facelift plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. Dr. DuPéré also counts as one of his mentors Dr. Patricia Wexler, a prominent dermatologist in New York City who is an expert in dermal injections, skin care, and fat grafting. Dr. DuPéré's surgical interests include facial and nasal surgery, body contouring, post-weight loss procedures, and breast reconstruction and enhancement. Dr. DuPéré is one of only a few North American surgeons performing calf, buttock, abdominal, and pectoral implantations, which he learned about while visiting Brazil. Facial injections are also a significant component of his practice; having participated in many North American FACE meetings and having trained numerous cosmetic plastic surgeons in Toronto and throughout Canada, he developed expertise in 3-dimensional facial volume restoration and rejuvenation, all with little to no downtime. One of Dr. DuPéré's strong qualities is his warm personality, which helps patients during the emotional process of contemplating a surgical procedure. He is extremely approachable, down-to-earth, reassuring, attentive to detail, and knowledgeable. An avid painter, photographer, and artist, Dr. DuPéré's precision work has attained high levels of refinement and excellence. He is trilingual, speaking French, English, and Portuguese, and brings worldly knowledge to his work each day. It is with a North American training and European refinement that Dr. DuPéré brings a uniquely Atlantic perspective and approach to the practice of aesthetic and plastic surgery. Outside the office, when he is not teaching or presenting at national or international conferences, Dr. DuPéré enjoys spending time with his family outdoors, travelling, gardening, and cooking.

The atrocities of Charlie Hebdo and the ensuing aftermath bring to the surface an ongoing debate over the identity of “French Muslims” or “Muslims in France.” Is their primary identity nationalistic or religious? Are the two mutually exclusive? Some Muslims likely feel there is more going on here than cartoon drawings. Theme Music by Nobara Hayakawa - Trail Sponsor Music by Drunk Pedestrians - Mean
