Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-23-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with a passionate plea about E-bike safety after observing riders ignoring stop signs and wearing inadequate helmets in Santa Cruz. She explains the physics of collisions, noting that force equals mass times acceleration, and a car hitting an E-bike rider at 20 mph delivers impact equivalent to falling from a two-story building. She emphasizes that 97% of bike fatalities in New York involved helmetless riders, and brain injuries result from the brain striking the skull twice during impact - once on the impact side and again on the opposite side during deceleration. She urges drivers to honk at helmetless riders and calls for stricter helmet law enforcement. An emailer asks about hydroxyapatite in toothpaste. Dr. Dawn traces its origins to NASA research in the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rubin studying crystal growth for preventing bone and tooth mineral loss in astronauts. Japanese company Sangi acquired the patent and created the first hydroxyapatite toothpaste by 1980, receiving official anti-cavity recognition in 1993. Studies show it matches fluoride's cavity prevention effectiveness by filling microscopic cracks where bacteria take root. It also relieves temperature sensitivity by sealing micro-fractures in enamel that expose the dentin layer, making it especially helpful for people who clench their jaws. Researchers from UC Berkeley and the Allen Institute used electrodes and lasers to study how mouse brains process optical illusions like the Kanizsa triangle. They discovered specialized IC encoder neurons in the visual cortex that fill in missing information, creating complete shapes from partial cues. When these pattern-completing circuits activate inappropriately, they may trigger hallucinations in conditions like schizophrenia. Dr. Dawn explains that illusions occur when the brain perceives something different from actual visual input, while hallucinations create perceptions with no external stimulus. She discusses frontotemporal dementia where visual hallucinations result from protein deposits in the occipital cortex, and notes that a 2021 British Journal of Psychiatry study found hallucination rates varying from 7% in young people to 3% in those over 70. An emailer describes unbearable chronic lumbar pain with degenerative disc disease shown on MRI. Dr. Dawn emphasizes that MRI findings don't necessarily correlate with pain levels, citing shopping mall studies showing equal degenerative changes in people with and without back pain. She stresses checking for sciatica symptoms including leg pain below the knee, sensory differences between sides, calf size asymmetry, and ability to walk on tiptoes and heels. Without these red flags, the degenerative disease likely isn't causing the pain. She warns against unnecessary surgery citing frequent "failed back" syndrome when surgery for a disk image doesn't "fix" the pain. She recommends water jogging with a ski vest, McKenzie exercises, abdominal strengthening, ergonomics, removing wallets from back pockets, and alternating heat and ice therapy. She discusses mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy for pain management. A caller references Daniel Levitin's book "Your Brain on Music," discussing research using functional MRIs showing distinct brain activation patterns in musicians versus non-musicians due to integrated auditory, visual, and kinesthetic training. Dr. Dawn describes how infant brains develop from three to six layers with increasingly complex synaptic connections resembling circuit boards. She highlights a blindfold study where college students' visual cortices began responding to sound within two weeks as the auditory cortex expanded. She shares her husband's remarkable recovery demonstrating adult brain plasticity through intensive rehabilitation. Learning new musical instruments helps dementia patients by activating multiple brain regions simultaneously and improving standard cognitive test performance. A caller describes an eight-day chest cold with thick white phlegm. Dr. Dawn recommends guaifenesin as a mucus-thinning expectorant to prevent bacterial growth in respiratory secretions that serve as "bacteria chow." She emphasizes the importance of current flu, COVID, and RSV vaccinations. Secondary bacterial infections develop when bacteria colonize viral-induced mucus in the lungs and invade tissues. She advises aggressive hydration and chicken soup, which research shows helps clear mucus. Another caller provides additional information about Daniel Levitin as a musicologist, neurologist, and musician who runs the Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise laboratory at McGill University.

In this episode of SCW for Pharma host Evren Ozkaya welcomes Katja Lumbar Globocnik, Head of U.S. Supply Chain at Exeltis and Xiromed, subsidiaries of Insud Pharma. Katja brings decades of experience across global pharmaceutical supply chains, from her early days in Europe with companies like Novartis and Sandoz to leading countless generic product launches at Teva in the United States.Evren and Katja open their discussion by comparing the dynamics of large versus small-to-mid-sized pharma companies. Katja explains how larger organizations, while rich in structure and learning opportunities, can be slowed by bureaucracy. In contrast, smaller companies operate with greater agility, allowing individuals to take broader ownership of decisions and execution. This leaner environment, she notes, cultivates problem solvers.The conversation then turns to digitalization and system maturity. Contrary to expectations, Katja argues that size doesn't guarantee sophistication. Many large companies still rely on traditional operations, while smaller firms like Insud Pharma have adopted advanced technologies, including AI-driven analytics and automation. These tools, she explains, are transforming supply chains by accelerating decision-making, enabling real-time visibility, and automating repetitive tasks.Evren and Katja also examine the management of operational excellence in multi-site environments. Katja sees clear value in driving OpEx globally, while acknowledging the growing trend toward regionalization. Together, they emphasize the importance of balancing standardization with local flexibility—especially as cloud-based systems make real-time benchmarking and performance tracking across sites possible.When discussing product launches, Katja highlights the excitement and challenges of bringing generic medicines to market. Success, she says, depends on teamwork, scenario planning, and calm risk assessment—particularly in the U.S., where speed to market is critical.Finally, the discussion circles back to digital transformation at manufacturing sites. Katja identifies alignment, investment constraints, and resistance to transparency as common barriers. Still, she believes progress is inevitable, led by plant leaders who take a holistic view, embrace visibility, and see weaknesses as opportunities for improvement.Evren closes by asking Katja what advice she would give her younger self. Her answer is simple and powerful: “Be fearless. Learn as much as you can. Go for it until someone stops you.”

After attending a Dry Needling course and getting some fantastic extra clinical pearls this one really stuck out to me. It was extremely interesting to think about utilizing lumbar adjustments as rehab, through the stretch reflex of muscles. We aren't downplaying rehab at all and think it is really important but I had never thought of this concept as something that worked in this way. So I did my best to recap it.

Meningitis remains a major global health threat, with an estimated 2.5 million cases each year; of these, one in six results in death and one in five in long-term disabilities. Although meningitis “can strike anyone, anywhere in the world,” outbreaks disproportionately impact low- and middle-income countries, where diagnostic and treatment resources are limited. In efforts to address this, WHO launched its first-ever guideline on meningitis diagnosis and management in April this year. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Emily McDonald and Marc Bonten are joined by two experts directly involved in creating the guideline, Lorenzo Pezzoli and Nicolò Binello (WHO), as well as Jacob Bodilsen (Aalborg University), clinician-researcher and Chair of ESCMID's Study Group for Infectious Diseases of the Brain (ESGIB). The guests offer a firsthand look behind the guideline's development, review key recommendations for diagnosis and treatment - including the use of lumbar puncture, antibiotics, and chemoprophylaxis – and discuss how these fit into various clinical settings. This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Ljiljana Lukić of University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb, Croatia.

Lumbar discectomy is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by a herniated disk. Unlike traditional open surgery, this technique uses small incisions and specialized tools to remove damaged disk material with minimal impact on surrounding tissue. Patients typically experience less pain and quicker recovery, making it a preferred option when conservative treatments fail.

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:
