Send us a Text Message.We are joined by Professor James Smoliga, who serves as the Director of Research and Faculty Development for Tufts University's, Doctor of Physical Therapy program in Seattle. Professor Smoliga previously held the position of Associate Director of the Human Biomechanics and Physiology Laboratory at High Point University. He is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and was awarded the 2022 Guy Simoneau Excellence in Research Award. With over 175 publications that have been cited nearly 4,000 times, Professor Smoliga brings a wealth of expertise to our discussion. In this episode, we explore the criteria for trustworthy research, the essential questions to ask, and how to apply these principles to proposed concussion mitigation devices such as the Q-Collar. We examine from a physiological and evidence-based perspective, why such devices are ineffective in reducing the risk of concussions. -       Introduction -       What is research?

If you've been watching any football on television this season, you may have noticed that a growing number of players are wearing a strange looking collar. It's called the Q Collar, and it's designers claim that it helps reduce the effects of blows to the head by using pressure on the neck to increase blood volume in the brain's venous structures, thereby reducing the harmful internal movement that causes brain injury and concussions. The fact that the Q Collar even exists offers evidence that we are learning what repeated blows to the heads can do. Recently, the New York Times ran a report where five parents of young athletes diagnosed after death with Chronic Traumatic Encephelopathy talked about how little they knew about the potential for long-term consequences when they first registered their elementary-aged sons for tackle football. The Concussion Legacy foundation reminds parents that it is wise and necessary to hold kids out of tackle football until high school.

In this episode, host Dr. Dana Dunleavy interviews NFL player Taylor Rapp and neurointerventional radiologist Dr. Wayne Olan about the role of the Q collar in safeguarding the brain from impact. --- SHOW NOTES Taylor Rapp, a native of Washington state, pursued his college education at the University of Washington, where he also played football. He was later drafted by the LA Rams and played for them for a few years. Recently, Taylor made a move to Buffalo, NY, and now plays safety for the Buffalo Bills. He recounts his brain injury and severe concussion in 2021 while he was playing for the LA Rams. Later on, he heard about the Q collar from his agent and subsequently incorporated it into his gear in the following season. Dr. Olan discusses the origin of the Q collar, which was initially developed in the military to protect and minimize brain movement. He highlights a study from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children's Hospital where the role of the Q collar was examined utilizing Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), a type of MRI technique that specifically examines the white matter tract. Within a cohort of 500 athletes, 77% of athletes who wore the Q collage showed no evidence of shear injury whereas 73% of athletes who did not wear the collar showed gray-white matter shearing injury. He further discusses the mechanism by which the Q collar protects the brain from injury. It stabilizes the brain and minimizes movement by decreasing venous return to the brain by 30%, which he compares to wearing a necktie. He makes an important distinction that the Q collar does not occlude venous return, therefore, does not have significant clinical adverse effects. They end the episode by advocating for the significance of educating younger athletes about the risks of contact sports and enhancing safety across all sports. --- RESOURCES Neck Collar with Mild Jugular Vein Compression Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28437225/

QCollar seems like just another gimmick...but this could really be a life-changing tool. Dr. David Smith, inventor of the Q-Collar joins me to discuss the story, how it works, and his book When Heads Come Together. Where did the idea for the Q-Collar start? Dr. Dave was presenting at the Army Research Lab in 2008 where they threw down the gauntlet complaining that clever people should "figure out Traumatic Brain Injury." I was working on wound care. When presented with the woodpecker I immersed myself in the anatomy and physiology of cavity animals. During a yawn, you are occluding your jugular. When getting FDA clearance, what were some of the harder questions you had to answer? 42 patents We are the only FDA-approved TBI prevention device. Is there any concern with extended use, like several hours at a time? FDA recommends 4 hours. We lay down to sleep for 8 hours at a time and occlude our jugulars. When Heads Come Together - this is a more detailed story about your journey to “solve” TBI…discuss the book. Julian Bailes listened to me and encouraged me Discuss the rebreather and how you can reverse TBI. We looked at how a giraffe breathes In the first 10 minutes after a concussive event, there is a critical issue We partnered with Dr. Jedd Hardings at Cinncinatti Spreading depolarization I told him CO2 was the trigger for the depolarization They raised the CO2 levels of a legally brain-dead patient in a coma.  The family agreed to try this and 4 hours later he awoke from his coma.

The Q-Collar is a device that is promoted to prevent concussion and "protect the brain during repetitive head impacts", and has been spotted around the necks of athletes in a number of sports, ranging from cricket to football. But do these claims and promises stand up to scientific scrutiny? Is there a sound biological rationale for the claims? Should parents, athletes and coaches explore and use devices such as this to prevent brain injury?In this episode, Ross explores the answers to the above questions with Prof James Smoliga, professor of Public health and community medicine at Tufts University. Prof Smoliga puts an intense and in-depth scientific microscope on the claims, and concludes that there is no quality evidence in support of concussion and brain health claims, and that the foundational premise on which the product rests is flawed. We also learn that woodpeckers DO show signs of brain injury, that studies linking altitude to protection against concussion are grossly exaggerated and misinterpreted, and, humorously, that NFL teams with animal mascots are less likely to see concussion that teams without animal mascots.Show notes:Dr James Smoliga's university profile pageThe science and research page of the Q-Collar website, describing many of the studies James talks about in the podcastJames' paper on the mechanisms used by woodpeckers to (partly) protect their brains from injuryStudy showing signs of brain injury in woodpeckers, despite the above mentioned adaptationsThe original study showing a purported protective effect of "altitude" (above 600ft!) on concussionThe rebuttal letter from James' colleague that absolutely eviscerates the above mentioned altitude studyJames' meta-analysis that looks at over 5 million data points to show that altitude does not have a protective effect against concussionThe paper discussed on the pod that uses the DTI method to show brain changes with and without the Q-CollarThe 2021 study that failed to find a reduction in concussion incidence with the Q-Collar Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, guest host and interventional radiologist Dr. Dana Dunleavy interviews neurointerventional radiologist Dr. Wayne Olan about growing neuroIR and IR through a neurosurgery department. Wayne serves as the Director of Interventional and Endovascular Neurosurgery at George Washington University Medical Center. --- SHOW NOTES First, Wayne tells us more about his training, journey in academia, and role in building robust neuroIR and IR service lines through his leadership of the neurosurgery department at his institution. Wayne also shares how powerful being involved in interdisciplinary clinics can be in growing the scale, reach, and impact of minimally-invasive image guided interventions. These collaborations include neuroIR/neurosurgery for neuro clinic and IR/ gynecology for fibroid clinic. Dana and Wayne then discuss how neuroIR and IR has evolved over the years, highlighting watershed moments and key innovations. They discuss sacroiliac joint interventions in detail and how MSK has become one of IR's newest subspecialties. Wayne shares his history of playing and coaching lacrosse, and he also tells us about the Q-Collar and his role in serving on the company's board of medical advisors. The device has been shown to protect the athletes' brains from concussive and subconcussive impacts by increasing internal jugular vein pressure. We conclude the episode with some parting wisdom from Wayne regarding career paths, navigating reimbursements and insurance as a neuroIR or IR, and finding joy and purpose at and outside of work. --- RESOURCES SI-Bone, iFuse TORQ Device: https://si-bone.com/providers/solutions/trauma/ifuse-torq SI-Bone, iFuse Triangle Device: https://si-bone.com/providers/solutions/ifuse Stryker, Spine Jack Device: https://www.stryker.com/us/en/interventional-spine/products/spinejack-system.html Q-Collar Company web-page: https://q30.com/ Q-Collar Studies / Research Briefing: https://q30.com/pages/fda-reviewed Boston University CTE Clinic: https://www.bu.edu/cte/

Many sports have periods of close contact where players run the risk of suffering a concussion. The Q-Collar is a new device, commercially available, that mitigates the potential damage of head trauma upon impact with another object or person. The U.S. Air Force now has a nuclear capable long range stealth bomber that can be fully operated with a flight crew or as an unmanned drone. Good news is hard to find, but it is all around us despite what you hear on the news. Laughing yoga can be a way to release dopamine and serotonin to improve your mood.

David W. Smith MD, ACP, BS (Chemistry), Board Certified (Internal Medicine Specialist), recognized as a visiting scientist for both The Human Performance Laboratory for the Division of Sports Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the North Shore Division of Neurosurgery and North Shore Neurological Institute, Chicago Illinois. Over his 30-year medical career, he served as Chief of Medicine at Reid Hospital and Healthcare Services. In addition, he founded commercial companies for developing his innovative product concepts XennovateMedical LLC, TBI Innovations LLC, and Delta Chase LLC. As Chief Science Officer, he has served as lead design and medical education consultant to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a $90B+ Pharmaceutical and Healthcare company, GENTEX Corp, the largest manufacturer of USAF helmets, and Materials Modification Inc., nano–materials and coating pioneer to the military complex. Consistent with his Internal Medicine credentials, Dr. Smith has Intellectual Property and peer-reviewed publications in diverse fields of science, providing him with a unique perspective in overcoming a broad spectrum of significant medical paradigms. Specifically, his solid background in analytical chemistry (with an added emphasis in physics), combined with his medical degree and internal medical career, allowed him to bring a better understanding of energy interactions and impartations to the human body, which has proven particularly useful in the study of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Dr. Smith discovered and then pioneered “SLOSH Theory,” which represents the basis of his Q-Collar invention for humans designed to mitigate SLOSH energy absorption by the soft tissues of the brain, proven to reduce the risk of brain damage from traumatic events (first product authorized by the FDA for this purpose). Further, he co-authored with Julian Bailes MD, a world-renowned neurosurgeon, a presentation on “The Physics of Traumatic Brain Injury-Revisited,” delivered at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA, Sept 2016. This venue represents the largest gathering of Neurosurgeons and Brain Injury Specialists worldwide. This event provided the backdrop for Dr. Smith's disclosure of his latest thinking on how “cavitation” explains how the physics of a concussive wave can produce the chemistry of a TBI. In his scientific role with Xennovate Medical, he presented several novel battlefield dressings to the Department of the Army Research Lab (DARPA) at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, MD. Dr. Smith assisted Gentex Corp, who was successfully awarded a $90M contract in the field of mitigating the forces involved in human ejections from supersonic aircraft. He was the lead scientist in Xennovate's two-year funding effort with DARPA's Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JEIDDO).

In this episode:We interview Dr. David Smith (Dr. Dave) MD, ACP, BS (Chemistry), Board Certified (Internal Medicine Specialist). He is the inventor of the Q-Collar and author of the new book "When Heads Come Together" which outlines the journey to solve many longstanding scientific mysteries, including the elusive scourge of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) that endangers contact sports and the brains of our warfighters. Dr. Dave shares his story and explains how his invention the Q-Collar helps protect the brain from the damage caused by repetitive head impacts that can alter brain tissue. Findings have shown that athletes who were not wearing the Q-Collar were three times more likely to have significant changes in their brain tissue. This device is the only device to have been cleared by the FDA to make the statement that it blocks brain injury. Judging by the number product endorsements they have received this is definitely a game changer.We learn about some cutting-edge science that can has the capacity to improve the lives of athletes and we are excited to see what comes next!If you are an athlete or a fan of sports you don't want to miss this episode and we encourage you to learn more and purchase Q-Collar and his fascinating new book. Check out the links below for more information:·      Learn more about Dr. Dave by visiting: https://davidsmithmd.com/·      Buy his book "When Heads Come Together" in March 2023 anywhere books are sold or by visiting: https://drdavescience.com/·      Check out the Q-Collar by visiting: https://q30.com/ or https://qcollar.com - - -Send us feedback by emailing: feedback@outofthecavepodcast.comSupport our Sponsor – Crown Trophy of Cypress, CA by visiting: www.crowntrophy.com/store-22Support our Sponsor – LB Productions by visiting: https://www.lbproductionsny.com/Opening & Closing music by DJ Sted-E & Hybrid Heights.

In this episode, I follow up on last weeks episode to provide some design principles and takeaways from the Q-Collar. I discuss three primary takeaways: 1) Simple is Hard 2) Change Your Perspective 3) Good Design Improves Lives.This episode references the Design30 Substack, so become a free subscriber to access and read all of my Substack articles (subscribe here: https://design30.substack.com).

In this episode I go through the website for the innovative new product called the Q-Collar. This simple yet effective device has been proven to reduce traumatic brain injury (TBI) in athletes as well as service members. It has been worn by NFL athletes (among others) to reduce the negative impacts of repetitive head impacts and concussions. In my opinion, this device is a perfect example of how design and creative thinking can be utilized to create products capable of improving and/or saving lives. Please note, I have no affiliation with Q30 Innovations or the design/testing of the Q-Collar. I simply saw the device being used on TV and got curious. Please go check out the Q30 website and find out more about the Q-Collar for yourself.Show Notes - Q-Collar Website: https://q30.comDisclaimer: I am not a medical professional nor am I qualified to make a medical evaluation of the Q-Collars performance.

The Q-Collar is a device that is intended to protect athletes' brains during head impacts. The Food and Drug Administration authorized the marketing of Q30 Innovations' Q-Collars in 2021, saying they “may reduce the occurrence of specific changes in the brain that are associated with brain injury.” Cumberland Police Chief Matt Benson was surprised when a package arrived just after Christmas. Inside the package, Benson saw a letter from the 10-year-old, a sample of a partially eaten Oreo cookie and a sample of half-eaten baby carrots... She was wondering if the police could take a sample of the DNA to confirm if Santa was real.  ‘Avatar' marks 6 straight weeks at No. 1, crosses $2 billion at box office See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr Jason Cormier, a Lafayette neurosurgeon, joins us for his second interview, this time to focus on traumatic brain injuries, in athletes of all ages who are engaged in high-impact sports. Dr. Cormier actively assists the NCAA and the NFL in working to prevent brain injuries. We reached out to him after Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills collapsed suddenly during a Monday Night football game after rising from a hit. And sadly, just two weeks after Hamlin's injury, Russell Gage was injured late in the 4th quarter in the Tampa Bay/Dallas Cowboys game after a rough hit to the head rendered him unable to get up. After being transported off the field on a cart, Gage was diagnosed with a concussion and possible neck injuries. With high-profile NFL injuries making the news, some wonder if football will always be a part of our lives. While NFL Football seems to be one of the roughest and toughest of all sports, Dr. Cormier provides insight into the dangers of all sports' activities. Basketball players routinely suffer from concussive head injuries. Death rates in the NFL are 6 per million; in equestrian activities, the death rate is 20 per million, and in girls' soccer, the death rate is 15 per million. In the U. S., 1.6 to 3.8 million concussive injuries occur each and every year, and these are only the ones that are reported so the figure may be much higher. 300,000 of these injuries are from football and Dr. Cormier reports that 62,000 of these take place in high school-age players. All in all, there is a 19% likelihood that you will sustain a concussion or head injury if you participate in any high contact sports. And if you have had a concussion, it is likely that you also sustained some type of neck injury. Gladiator sports have been appealing to spectators going back to the Roman Empire time period. It is unlikely that we will see a diminished interest in today's exciting, but dangerous sporting activity. So, Dr. Cormier recommends that parents get as much information as they can for their children as to how to protect them with current technology and best practices. And above, emphasize a reliable and time-tested way to survive in the world: an education! The Q-Collar is a device Dr. Cormier recommends for any athlete in high-impact situations. It is the only FDA-cleared sports equipment that helps protect athletes' brains during head impacts. The technology is based upon the physiology of the woodpecker and the battle ram, two animals who live by striking their heads. (The woodpecker strikes its head 25,000 times per day or 85 million times in its lifetime, resulting in no brain injury; battle rams create a force of 780 pounds each time they hit each other, which is like being hit with a baseball bat at 80 miles per hour!) The Q Collar by Q30 provides 1.5 pounds of light pressure over the jugular veins at the neck which increases blood amount in the brain to prevent the slosh effect or movement of the brain upon impact. Dr. Cormier calls it an “airbag inside the skull” and says it decreases concussions up to 90% of the time. The collar costs about $200.00. Dr. Cormier is an engaging guest and full of information on the latest protective technologies to protect our most precious commodity: our brain. We thank Jason Cormier for his contributions to the medical community here in Lafayette and across the U. S.!

S., 1.6 to 3.8 million concussive injuries occur each and every year, and these are only the ones that are reported so the figure may be much higher. 300,000 of these injuries are from football and Dr. Cormier reports that 62,000 of these take place in high school-age players. All in all, there is a 19% likelihood that you will sustain a concussion or head injury if you participate in any high contact sports. And if you have had a concussion, it is likely that you also sustained some type of neck injury. Gladiator sports have been appealing to spectators going back to the Roman Empire time period. It is unlikely that we will see a diminished interest in today's exciting, but dangerous sporting activity. So, Dr. Cormier recommends that parents get as much information as they can for their children as to how to protect them with current technology and best practices. And above, emphasize a reliable and time-tested way to survive in the world: an education! The Q-Collar is a device Dr. Cormier recommends for any athlete in high-impact situations. It is the only FDA-cleared sports equipment that helps protect athletes' brains during head impacts. The technology is based upon the physiology of the woodpecker and the battle ram, two animals who live by striking their heads. (The woodpecker strikes its head 25,000 times per day or 85 million times in its lifetime, resulting in no brain injury; battle rams create a force of 780 pounds each time they hit each other, which is like being hit with a baseball bat at 80 miles per hour!) The Q Collar by Q30 provides 1.5 pounds of light pressure over the jugular veins at the neck which increases blood amount in the brain to prevent the slosh effect or movement of the brain upon impact. Dr. Cormier calls it an “airbag inside the skull” and says it decreases concussions up to 90% of the time. The collar costs about $200.00. Dr. Cormier is an engaging guest and full of information on the latest protective technologies to protect our most precious commodity: our brain. We thank Jason Cormier for his contributions to the medical community here in Lafayette and across the U. S.!
