Curious about your micronutrient status? Wonder if you're still deficient even though you take a multivitamin and eat a whole foods diet? Want to know how a simple blood test can tell you exactly what to supplement with and what foods to focus on? Tune in to learn about micronutrient testing--from the mechanisms of testing, to why you might be deficient in the first place, to how you can use this data to optimize and thrive! In this episode, we will cover micronutrient testing and what trends of deficiency can tell you about your health. Even if you eat “healthy” you can be deficient based on increased demand, inability to absorb or use, inadequate intake. Testing micronutrients can play a turnkey role in your wellness as we can see beyond the nutrient itself and see the story of the deficiency trends to address the root cause of imbalance. Plus we'll explore case studies, from a postmenopausal woman to a carnivore to someone dealing with chronic fatigue and brain fog and discuss actual interventions that made a world of difference for these clients!

Deb: You've been waiting your whole life for this opportunity! Pete: I used to practice that... EPISODE SUMMARY: This episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified is part 2 of Constraint Induced Therapy (CIT). Part 2 begins with Pete reiterating important points covered in Episode 1, including: Commitment is required for participation in a CIT program When NOT to wear the constraint: when ambulating, navigating stairs, bathing/washing, toileting and driving Review of frequently asked questions about CIT including compliance, dropout rate; that CIT is not an easy intervention but is worth it, hand dominance, location of infarct, use in acute stroke The conversation further evolved into: Research on the use of CIT at the acute stage and the VECTORS trial When it's safe to begin CIT Using Constraint Induced Therapy during the chronic phase – plateaus, taking breaks and having a strategic recovery plan What happens to the weaker side when the training focus is on the stronger side during the first 10 days following brain injury and why it's important to limit compensation What happens to the brain with intense exercise during the first 7 days – what intensity looks like and examples of how to determine intensity levels Using CIT with children Reimbursement for modified Constraint Induced Therapy Socialization, Groups, friendly competition and CIT Starting a CIT program: benefits to survivors and clinics All about lower extremity CIT, including how it's done and figuring out who it's appropriate for This engaging conversation goes deeper into Constraint Induced Therapy. Survivors, caregivers and clinicians alike will benefit... As always, we want to hear your top takeaways!

Constraint Induced Therapy: Part I OVERVIEW: Pete: And I asked whoever answered the phone, may I please speak to Dr. Ince. And he goes ‘hello' and I'm in a panic because I'm like this is the guy! It took me three days to find him! And I'm like, ahh, Dr. Ince my name is Pete Levine and I'm doing a book on ah Constraint Induced Therapy and um Dr. Taub said that you were the first human to ever do it on humans and I'm really excited to talk to you... and he goes ‘I can't hear you. There doin' construction outside. Wait, let me close the door.' Boom! Door slams and he comes back and he tells me this fantastic story. Pete quoting Dr. Ince: In 1967, I'm in a Macy's and I'm standing there next to this guy. I don't know who he is, and ah, we're at a table with toys and our wives are gone doing something, I don't what they were doing. And he was fooling with this toy...' Pete: I always imagine this toy was the monkey with the two cymbals going like shika tik tik. Pete quoting Dr. Ince: ‘And he was foolin' with this toy and we got to talking and I'm a physiatrist and he was doing this stuff and he invited me to his lab in Brooklyn...' Pete: And this is my best NY accent...I'm so sorry...you know I was born in Manhattan, so I have a little bit of right to do this. Pete quoting Dr. Ince: ‘And um, and I asked him: What you're doing with these monkeys... Can I do it with humans? And what I found was that it could be done with people. We did the experiment. We were the first to publish about it and with some people it was successful, with some people not so successful, and some people it was a total failure.' Pete: And that's still where we are today. Constraint Induced Therapy is not for everyone. I think you would agree. Deb: Yes. That's fascinating! What a cool life you have! Pete: I know! Lawrence Ince... he was so cool with me. Once he saw that I wasn't calling him to sell him life insurance or something...you know he was willing to talk. So, he was great. It was just great. It sends shivers up my spine still... EPISODE SUMMARY: This episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Stroke and TBI Recovery Simplified is all about Constraint Induced Therapy (CIT). CIT is a big topic and we talked for a long time – enough for two full episodes. In this part 1 section we: Heard about the history of CIT - that it began with Nobel Prize winner, Sir Charles Sherrington Learned that Sir Charles Sherrington coined the words ‘synapse,' and ‘neuron,' and he talked about ‘neural networks.' That's not all, he drew neurons and synapses! Listen to learn why this is a BIG DEAL... Reviewed dorsal root rhizotomy and went deeper into it, including the procedure and process – according to Pete, it's a really great tool for spasticity treatment Learned about reflexes and movement Talked about the role of Operant Conditioning in CIT Compared differences between research done by Dr. Edward Taub and that performed by Dr. Stephen Page & Pete Levine Tied in the importance of home programs and clinic follow up for client follow through This episode begins with a bit of fascinating neuroscience history to include Nobel Prize winner Sir Charles Sherrington. There's no rabbit hole involved as it ties right into the topic of Constraint-Induced Therapy! Pete takes us along a journey into the research using his artful way of telling a story that keeps everyone captivated. We transition smoothly from the early days of CIT into Dr. Edward Taub's work, and then onto detailed information around the modified version of CIT with our very own Peter G. Levine's work. As always, we want to hear your top takeaways! LINKS TO ARTICLES, BOOKS AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Brain Science Podcast with Ginger Campbell, MD.

In this episode, Dr. Thomas Buchheit sheds light on who are good candidates for regenerative therapies, when and where to go for such therapies, and what the various types of regen therapies there are and how they work. Check out these slides that are referenced in the interview, "What do PRP, Stem Cells, and other Regenerative Therapies Really do?" Who is Dr. Buchheit? He is Director of The Regenerative Pain Therapies Program at Duke (DukeRPTP.org). He has practiced pain management and musculoskeletal medicine for the past 20 years and has published multiple papers clarifying the underlying biochemical and inflammatory mechanisms that drive chronic pain. He previously served as Division Chief for Pain Medicine in the Duke Department of Anesthesiology prior to focusing full time on the study and development of regenerative therapies for patients with osteoarthritis. He co-founded The Regenerative Pain Therapies Program in 2018 with Dr. William Maixner with the goal of moving beyond symptom management to address the underlying causes of degenerative conditions. The objective of the Program is to develop and deploy biologically-based interventions to improve long-term joint health by changing disease course. Dr. Buchheit is currently involved with researchers in the United States and Europe, investigating the foundational immune mechanisms of pain relief with PRP, autologous conditioned serum, and stem cells, and has lectured extensively on these topics. He has mentored with Dr. Peter Wehling and is currently one of the few clinical sites in the US to offer the Autologous Conditioned Serum Program from Düsseldorf, Germany. 3 Selected Publications: 1.

We’re in the midst of a global pandemic and, of course, everyone’s attention is focused on COVID-19. Other podcasts have excellent coverage of this situation. In this episode, we’ll be discussing other important infections that continue to affect our communities: HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis. Over the past year, the UC Davis ED implemented a massive screening effort to identify patients who have become infected. Dr. Larissa May explains how the screening works and some of the surprising trends we’ve seen. Infection rates were higher than expected and many patients had no idea they were infected! One patient tells us how screening positive for HIV, and being connected to care, changed his life. This topic, as with so many issues we cover, brings up the broader question: what is the role of the emergency department in the healthcare system? We will explore this further in an upcoming episode and we would love to hear from YOU. What do YOU see as the role of the emergency department in the broader health system?

Author: Don Stader, MD Educational Pearls: Abstinence from substances such as tobacco or alcohol are effective strategies to achieve long term sobriety However, abstinence is not an effective strategy for achieving sobriety with opiate use disorder (OUD) Up to 90% of those who use an abstinence-only strategy for OUD will relapse within a month. Attending a rehabilitation facility increases mortality in those with OUD due to decreased tolerance and higher rates of overdose. Medication-assisted therapy (MAT) with naltrexone, buprenorphine or methadone for OUD is supported by evidence, and is the preferred method for achieving remission References Nielsen S, Larance B, Degenhardt L, Gowing L, Kehler C, Lintzeris N.

Contributor: Don Stader, MD Educational Pearls: The eye is surrounded by relatively inflexible tissues such as the bone of the orbit and the fibrous tissue of the eye. This makes it relatively susceptible to damage from outside compression, which is most common from trauma. This phenomenon is called ocular compartment syndrome (OCS) Look for OCS when patients have face, head or direct eye trauma OCS will present with a swollen, bulging eye associated with pain and blurry vision. Typically diagnosed with an elevated intraocular pressure (>40) OCS needs to be treated with a lateral canthotomy to help expand the area around the eye, reducing the pressure. Can’t see the eye due to swelling? Use paper clips to make eyelid retractors! References Lima V, Burt B, Leibovitch I, Prabhakaran V, Goldberg RA, Selva D.

Contributor: Dylan Luyten, MD Educational Pearls: Those that are hypokalemic are often hypomagnesemic, and should receive magnesium (Mg) supplementation if repleting potassium Mg levels are typically not necessary - if someone is suspect to have hypomagnesemia, just given them Mg Mg increases the AV node refractory period and therefore may be helpful as an adjunct to those in atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response Mg is the preferred treatment for seizure prophylaxis in preeclampsia. All patients with suspected preeclampsia should get 4g Mg IV over 20 min Mg may reduce hospital admissions in those with severe asthma, though it has not shown to have mortality or other benefits in acute exacerbations Editor’s note: and we didn’t even touch on magnesium in headaches References Huang CL, Kuo E.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: Patients with psychiatric complaints are often complicated to disposition from the main ED, and many will require inpatient psychiatric stays Some health systems have dedicated psychiatric ED’s that are specialized in taking care of these patients For example, in Oakland, CA, EMS are permitted to “clear” a patient for transport to a psych-only facility. 5-year retrospective study of this system showed 40% of psych patients were cleared by EMS for transfer directly to a psychiatric facility Only 0.3% of these patients “bounced back" and required an emergency department visit This technique could be used elsewhere to provide the most appropriate care for psych patients References Trivedi TK, Glenn M, Hern G, Schriger DL, Sporer KA.

Author: Dylan Luyten, MD Educational Pearls: While certain aspects of the history, exam, and EKG may increase likelihood of ACS, there is no one element that performs well on its own Elements of the history have been found to have different likelihood ratios, which can increase or decrease the probability of a patient having ACS Likelihood ratios greater than one increase the chance of the patient having the disease. Ratios less than one decrease it Bilateral arm radiation is one of very few historical features that increases the likelihood of ACS ST depressions are one of the few EKG findings with a high LR for ACS Scoring systems such as the HEART score can be useful to risk stratify your patients References Fanaroff AC, Rymer JA, Goldstein SA, Simel DL, Newby LK.

Author: David Holland, MD Educational Pearls: Hallucinogenics have been used for a variety of cultural and religious reasons for thousands of years In the 1960’s a Harvard professor began experimenting with psilocybin mushrooms. There was resulting public outcry, eventually leading to all hallucinogens being listed as schedule I drugs Common hallucinogens include: LSD (acid), Mescaline (peyote), DMT (ayahuasca), Psilocybin (mushrooms), MDMA (ecstacy) Effects vary by specific drug but may include auditory/visual hallucinations, increased empathy, loss of fear Physiologic effects often include mydriasis, tachycardia, hyperthermia and hypertension Recent neuroimaging studies have shown increased neural connectivity in people after administration of hallucinogens Each hallucinogen has a specific dose and duration, some can last half a day or more References Heal DJ, Gosden J, Smith SL.

Author: Rachel Brady, MD Educational Pearls: Elderly patients (>65 years old) have a higher trauma mortality compared to younger patients, even though they have lower mechanisms of injury Elder trauma is often under-triaged due to low-energy mechanisms and lack of physiologic response due to age and medications such as beta-blockers. Do not be reassured by normal vital signs. Image elderly patients with head injury aggressively since they are at high risk of intracranial bleeds Be sure to ask about anticoagulation use. Up to 15% of asymptomatic head injury patients on warfarin will have intracranial bleeds on CT. Be on the lookout for unstable C-spine injuries such as type II odontoid fractures Central cord syndrome is a possibility with any neck extension injury Rib fractures are common, with mortality increasing greatly with more than 2 ribs involved The elderly are more prone to musculoskeletal injuries due to loss of bone density Always discuss goals of care with these patients References Rathlev NK, Medzon R, Lowery D, Pollack C, Bracken M, Barest G, Wolfson AB, Hoffman JR, Mower WR.

Educational Pearls: Buprenorphine is a semi-synthetic derivative of the opium poppy FDA approved for the treatment of opiate use disorder and chronic pain Benefit in emergency department use is the ceiling effect - producing less euphoria as well as respiratory depression with higher doses It has an onset of 30-60 minutes, peak effect at 1-4 hours Duration of action depends is dose dependent, typically 6-12 hours, but can be as long as 24-72 hours in doses over 16 mg Use buprenorphine in those in moderate to severe opiate withdrawal Clinical Opioid Withdrawal Scale (COWS) can be used to assess and score severity of withdrawal A reasonable starting dose is 8mg. A second dose can be given after an hour, ranging from 8-24 mg depending on symptoms still present Buprenorphine can induce withdrawals so someone needs to be in true withdrawals for it to provide benefit References https://www.mdcalc.com/cows-score-opiate-withdrawal https://ed-bridge.org Herring AA, Perrone J, Nelson LS.

Contributor: Peter Bakes, MD Educational Pearls: While there are many different types of medical error, one of the most common errors in emergency medicine is failure to diagnose Systematic error in thinking that negatively affects judgement Medical errors are often driven by cognitive biases, which include anchoring, attribution, and availability Anchoring bias occurs when early information leads to premature closure on a single diagnosis. There is subsequent failure to consider alternative diagnoses, even in the face of conflicting new data and test results. Attribution bias occurs when assumptions about personal and medical characteristics are made about a specific group of people. Availability bias occurs when recent experiences drive providers to over or under consider diagnoses. References Croskerry P. Cognitive forcing strategies in clinical decisionmaking.

Steven Stovitz, MD, MS, directs the University of Minnesota's Program in Primary Care Sports Medicine and is the associate director of the University of Minnesota's Sports Medicine Fellowship. His clinical work is divided between the University of Minnesota's Sports Medicine clinic and Orthopedic clinic along with the athletics department, where he is a team physician for University's athletes. Dr. Stovitz's research involves the intersection of clinical medicine and epidemiology, as well as a variety of issues related to the study of obesity. He is a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and a senior associate editor with the BJSM. He has a special interest in evidence informed medicine and he challenges us with specific clinical settings where patients and doctors commonly make ‘inferior' choices. Why does this happen?
