Shivering Thermogenesis: your body’s built‑in furnace 🔥

• Cold hits → the hypothalamus sends rapid, involuntary signals to your skeletal muscles.
• Fibers contract‑and‑relax in tiny, unsynchronized bursts.
• Each burst splits ATP and releases heat—raising heat output to 4–5 × your resting level.

💪🏽Why muscles? They’re the largest, fastest energy users, so hijacking them warms the core quicker than slower chemical pathways.

The cost: shivering burns glycogen fast and spikes oxygen demand, so it’s only a short‑term fix. If the chill persists, your body shifts to non‑shivering thermogenesis—activating brown fat and tweaking hormones for sustained heat.

Once core temperature rebounds, the hypothalamus pulls the plug and the shivers stop.

👉🏽Understanding Adrenal Embolization: A Minimally Invasive Option for Treating Overactive Adrenal Glands.

Adrenal embolization is a targeted, image-guided procedure used to treat conditions like hyperaldosteronism or adrenal tumors by reducing blood flow to overactive adrenal tissue.

Mindfulness meditation may offer real pain relief—without narcotics. 🧠✨

A study examined how mindfulness meditation affects pain. Subjects—healthy, pain-free adults—underwent just four 20-minute mindfulness sessions before being exposed to painful heat stimuli. The results? Meditation reduced pain intensity by 40% and pain unpleasantness by 57%.

What’s more, brain scans revealed that this effect occurred through unique neural mechanisms—not through the body’s opioid system, and not from placebo. This suggests meditation could be a powerful, fast-acting, non-opioid option for managing pain.

Joint wear can steal simple joys—climbing stairs, chasing kids, even a painless night’s sleep. Surgery isn’t the first step, but when it’s time, we go all-in: careful exposure, balanced soft tissue, implants that line up within fractions of a millimeter.

Because the goal isn’t just to fix a joint; it’s to hand mobility back to a whole person.

🦴 Costovertebral + costotransverse joints—small articulations that do big work 🫁

📍 Where they sit
• Costovertebral: the rib head meets the demi-facets on two neighboring thoracic vertebrae and the disc between them.
• Costotransverse: the rib tubercle locks onto the transverse process of the same-numbered vertebra.

🔧 What they do
• Anchor each rib to the spine while allowing subtle gliding and rotation—just enough motion for the rib cage to expand with every breath.
• Share axial and rotational loads so stress is spread between vertebral bodies, discs, and posterior elements.

⚠️ When things go wrong
• Facet-type arthritis can stiffen or inflame these joints, causing focal mid-back pain or a “catch” on deep inspiration.
• Sprain or subluxation after a sudden twist or direct blow 🤕
• Inflammatory spondyloarthropathies (e.g., ankylosing spondylitis) may fuse them and limit chest expansion.
• Rarely: infection or tumor involving the rib head–transverse process complex.

🎯 Careful exam—and, if needed, image-guided diagnostic blocks—can pinpoint these tiny but critical joints as pain generators and guide targeted treatment.
