17 Dec 7 Exercises For Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a very common diagnosis, affecting approximately 8% of the population. Pain with TOS often presents anywhere between the neck, face, occipital region or into the chest, shoulder, with paresthesia into the upper extremity. Just all other syndromes this diagnosis encompasses a host of signs and symptoms and doesn't tell us the specific pain generator. TOS can be broken down into neurogenic TOS (95-98% of cases according to Davidovic et al. 2003) vs. vascular TOS. Of Vascular there can be either Arterial TOS or Venous TOS. Despite this vague diagnosis, this article will demonstrate 7 Exercises to beat TOS.
What can Cause TOS?
-Lowering the anterior chest wall
-Drooping shoulders
-Hypertrophy of scalene muscles
-Forward flexed neck
-Repetitive stress injuries (sitting at the keyboard for long hours)
Congenital Abnormalities include:
-Prolonged Transverse process C7
-Cervical Ribs
-Enlarged scalene muscles (COPD, Bodybuilders)
-Cervicodorsal scoliosis
-Congenital elevated scapula
Potential sites of compression:
- Interscalene triangle: between the anterior and middle scalene.
- Costoclavicular space: between the clavicle and the first rib.
- Subcoracoid or Sub-pectoralis minor space: beneath the coracoid process and under the pectoralis minor tendon. Shown here is an image of all 3 sites of potential compression.
7 Of My Favorite Exercises for TOS
Banded pull apart
- HOW: Begin this exercise upright. Hold each end of a band of desired resistance, then spread the band. Focus on initiating this motion with your scapula/shoulder blades and following out with the shoulders.
- FEEL: You should feel the shoulders working.
- COMPENSATION: Avoid arching the back and shrugging the shoulder that is lifting up.
- Perform for 2×15 repetitions.

Neck Strengthening
- For This Exercise Begin by Finding a Chin Tuck, this can be achieved by making a double chin.
- When found, apply moderate resistance into your forehead with your hand and hold for five seconds. Follow this up with applying resistance to each side of your head for 5 seconds while maintaining a chin tuck.
- Perform this for a total of 5 rounds
Pec Stretch
- This may help open up space under the Subcoracoid or sub-pectoralis minor space which is often the culprit of creating TOS symptoms.
- Perform for 2×30 seconds.
Thoracic Spine Foam Rolling
- Place the foam roller perpendicular to your spine. While grabbing onto a stick/pipe, elevate your arms as far back as you can in an attempt to touch the floor. This movement is very similar to a wall angel.
- Spend a few repetitions on each segment-then move up toward the next. Don't allow your butt to come off the floor or your ribs from flaring out this is typically due to compensation from your low back!
- A more aggressive way to perform this exercise is by using an external load of a weight as shown here. This will make the stretch more passive and less active. A stiff thoracic spine may contribute to issues up the kinetic chain to the shoulders/neck.
- Self mobilize the thoracic spine for 2 minutes. You can keep your head supported with your hands if you feel like you are straining your neck.
Quadruped Scapula Push-Up
- This will help target muscles on the front of the scapula, primarily referring to the Serratus Anterior.
- Similar to the banded pull-apart, exercises that help strengthen the scapula are very helpful for individuals with TOS as long as your are under the symptom threshold. When scapula muscles are not working in synergy, muscles such as the Scalenes and Pec's often are overused which may lead to TOS.
- Make sure to keep the neck neutral by maintaining a slight chin tuck for this exercise, Avoid arching your neck.
- Perform for 2×15 repetitions
Neck Stretching
There are two mobilizations here. One is for your first rib, the second is for the scalene muscles. These may help open up space in between the Costoclavicular or Subcoracoid space.
The brachial plexus (a network of nerves running from your spine down your arms) is running directly over the 1st rib, thus when elevated you can see how pressure is put on the nerves and vessels passing through this area. This is called TOS and symptoms often consist of limited neck & shoulder range of motion. This syndrome may also be associated with pain in this region that can travel all the way down the arm. When performing the mobilization, be careful, there are a lot of tissues around this area.
- Sit on the back end of the towel and wrap the towel around the top of your shoulder girdle. Bring the other end of the towel down towards the opposite hip.
- For the second stretch here, stabilize your scapula by sitting on your hand or holding something like the bottom of the chair shown here. While maintaining a slight chin tuck side bend your head the other direction.
- Perform these for 2×30 seconds each.
Looking for a Neck program? Check this free playlist we have created?
Numbness and Tingling?
Often time the Ulnar nerve is the culprit of the numbness and tingling going down the arm into the ring and pinky finger.
- This Ulnar nerve mobilization may help with these symptoms. Be very gentle with this mobilization, as irritation here can lead to a delayed response in pain.
- Perform very slowly for 2×15 repetitions.
With all these exercises, proceed with caution. We recommend seeking advice from a professional when dealing with a diagnosis such as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. This is a difficult syndrome to diagnose and sometimes may seem a bit ambiguous. The evidence is not great around Thoracic outlet syndrome, most studies cited here are level 3,4, and 5 evidence. Despite this, the prognosis is often good with conservative care!

All I ever wanted to be in life was a mother. In choosing my career, I only considered those jobs that I felt were closest to mothering and that involved nurturing and caring for children—nursing and teaching. In addition, I wanted a job that would allow me to be home as much as possible so that I could be the kind of mom I wanted to be. While I had no idea that I would eventually become an autism mom, I was dedicated to the idea of being a devoted parent long before I ever had Alex. Thankfully, the job I chose permitted me to be home with Alex a great deal of the time as I was blessed with a part-time teaching schedule after he was born. Moreover, Ed's position as a college professor enables him to have a schedule that balances mine so that at least one of us can be home with Alex at all times. With his special needs, this rare schedule has been ideal, and I am thankful that not only I have been able to be an at-home mom most of the time, but also that Ed takes such wonderful care of Alex when I'm not home.
On this Mother's Day, we honor the women who took care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs throughout our lives. While mothers often take on many thankless tasks because their children don't always recognize the effort and worry behind them, they make sacrifices purely out of the unconditional love they have for their children. For the moms of children with special needs, the added responsibilities can be overwhelming, yet they strengthen the bond between mother and child because, as my own mother has said, taking care of a child makes you love that child more. When potty training takes long beyond the typical time, when we take our children to countless therapies hoping to improve their skills, and when we celebrate the smallest milestones because we know how big they really are, we moms of special needs children know that we do these things not out of obligation but with a deep love, which blesses us and keeps us going. When well-meaning people who have typical children tell us, "God never gives you more than you can handle," we smile and say nothing, knowing that this comment is intended as a compliment. However, as one of my closest friends who has an adult special needs child and I can attest, throughout the years we've sometimes questioned God, asking, "Lord, do you know what you're doing? You're overestimating me, I think!" Nonetheless, despite what we may lack in courage and wisdom, He somehow grants us the perseverance and strength to move forward when we have no clue what we're doing. Often when the fears and frustration have reached a peak, our children have breakthroughs that reassure us that while progress is not always steady, it is always possible.
In the more than nineteen years that I have been Alex's mother, I have learned the most important lessons in life: hope, faith, and love. Taking care of him has brought me the greatest joys and the greatest tests, but everything has shaped my life for the better. I know, however, that I would not have been equipped to be his mom, had it not been for the outstanding example I was blessed to have in my mom. Besides her devotion, love, compassion, understanding, and wisdom, she has been a woman of faith who has taught me to trust in God at all times, but especially when times were uncertain. Not only has she taken care of me through the years, supporting and encouraging me, but she also has always been my closest friend who knew what I was thinking and said what I needed to hear. As Alex's grandmother, she has found ways to interact with him on his terms in ways that he finds comfortable, and when he is asked to name a friend, he always names her: "Nanny." As much as I needed my mom when I was a child, I realize that her calming presence, sense of humor, and good advice have been even more valuable as I have gotten older. Therefore, I find great truth in the words written on a plaque I gave her several years ago: "Long life to her because there's no other who can take the place of my dear mother!" Today and every day, I thank God for my son and my mom for blessing my life so richly.
"So give your father and mother joy! May she who gave you birth be happy." Proverbs 23:25

Here's the view of our little hamlet from out in the vineyard on Tuesday morning. It was just over one degree celcius (just above freezing) when Callie and I ventured out. It hasn't rained since last month and things are rather dry right now.
The was a light frost covering most of the ground, but it melted on contact and Callie's feet got all muddy by the end of the walk. One of the vineyard guys is out there now pruning the last of his parcels and his dog Max is always happy to see Callie.
While the mornings are cold, the sun warms the day up after a few hours. Come on, Spring!

The name Cappadocia is thought to mean 'land of beautiful horses' and in Roman times the brood mares from Cappadocia were very highly prized indeed.Cappadocia's landscape was formed around 30 million years ago when volcanic activity left the region blanketed with ash. The ash solidified into what is known as 'volcanic tuff', this is an easily eroded material and as it wore away over many years, it left the distinctive rock formations seen in Cappadocia today.The volcanic deposits have actually made this a very fertile area and apricots, sugar beets, chickpeas and cherries are all grown locally. Cappadocia has always been one of the prime grape-growing areas in Anatolia and you will still find many vineyards and wineries here. The area has been important since Hittite times, long before the birth of Jesus, although Cappadocia is also mentioned in the New Testament.Carved into the rock there are many hidden chapels, some dating back to the 4th century AD. A stay in the Cappadocia region provides a unique insight into the lives of the early Christians, who sheltered here, hiding from persecution in their underground cities with their beautiful churches, decorated with frescoes. It also gives a feel for the lives of villagers in rural Turkey, carrying out traditional handicrafts or working on the land in the same way as they have for hundreds of years. Our atmospheric cave hotels are the perfect setting for a romantic break, and are highly recommended for couples.The holiday region of Cappadocia is visually stunning; its haunting landscape is best seen from the air. We highly recommend you take a hot air balloon ride during your holiday in Cappadocia; it is the most popular way to enjoy the amazing scenery. Eerily resembling a moonscape, soft volcanic rock has sculpted caves, clefts and the magical 'fairy chimneys'.The charming town of Ürgüp is the ideal base for a holiday in the region, with its fine old houses, carved from the soft volcanic rock, tumbling down the sides of the valley. There is plenty going on here, with a choice of restaurants and shops.We are Cappadocia holiday specialists with vast knowledge of the Cappadocia area. Whether you are looking for a Cappadocia package holiday, a tailor-made Cappadocia holiday, a Cappadocia and Istanbul twin centre holiday, or any other kind of trip, we will have an excellent deal for you.

Dear Mr. Koc
I've been meaning to write to you for some time, so say thank you for arranging such a wonderful holiday for us. We had 4 nights B & B at the Empire Palace Hotel in Istanbul, which was wonderfully central, with friendly, helpful staff, and then flew to Cappadocia, staying at the MDC Cave Hotel in Urgup, which was delightful. The location was outstanding and the hotel quite unique.We have travelled all over the world and I can safely say that this holiday was one of the best - full of new experiences including a trip in a hot air balloon, visiting underground cities, ancient cave dwellings with amazing frescoes and fabulous landscapes. It was fun and exciting. For the first 2 days of tours in Cappadocia we went with the local representative, who were excellent and our guide, Mustafa Sahin was outstanding.
Thank you again for a brilliant trip and we will recommend your company. We may be interested in Croatia next year.
Yours sincerely,

Here's what's going viral now on Facebook.
"Star Wars Blooper Reel from 'The Making of Star Wars.'"
This newly released outtake footage from Star Wars: A New Hope proves making a movie about a galaxy far, far away is tricky business. The first few seconds of the footage are silent, showing special effect sequences going horribly wrong. Then, original sound from the filming kicks in, and viewers are treated to a clumsy Stormtrooper fight scene; and gems from Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, who epically flub their lines.
Then, there's this:
"A Parakeet Stormtrooper?"
In keeping with the Star Wars theme, this parakeet named Disco recites a popular Princess Leia quote before busting a rhyme to Vanilla Ice's '90's classic rap song, "Ice, Ice Baby."
And, Facebook users are hitting the "like" button on:
"The Hunger Games - Catching Fire Exclusive Final Trailer."
This teaser is an action-packed snack to help satiate Hunger Games fans until the film's release later in November. The clip shows heroine Katniss Everdeen facing new obstacles while being taunted by the menacing President Snow.

A man who was jailed for supplying the petrol and cigarette lighter for a suicidal friend has had his sentence cut on appeal.
Kevin James Howe, 20, got 12 years for assisting attempted suicide at Durham Crown Court last October after giving his friend all he needed to turn himself into a human fireball.
Thirty-year-old Stephen Walker suffered devastating burns to almost his entire body in the blaze at his home in Walker Drive, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, last May.
But after an appeal last month, Howe yesterday saw his sentence cut to 10 years in a judgment delivered at the Court of Appeal.
Lord Justice Treacy, sitting with the Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas and Lady Justice Macur, said Howe's youth, immaturity and previous good character justified the cut.
Howe, of Cheesmond Avenue, Bishop Auckland, and Mr Walker had been drinking heavily on the night of the suicide attempt.
Mr Walker said he wanted to set himself on fire and Howe rode one-and-a-half miles on his bicycle to a petrol station to buy the fuel.
Despite being warned not to do so by a concerned neighbour, he then delivered the jerrycan and lighter to Mr Walker.
Witnesses reported seeing flames one foot above Mr Walker's head after his body caught fire. He was left with 90% burns, but miraculously survived.
Lord Justice Treacy said Mr Walker had been left in a "dreadful" condition, but Howe had shown no remorse.
Instead, he told police: "I will never speak to him again for what he's put me through."
On appeal in London last month, Howe's barrister, Mark Styles, argued that the sentence was too long.
His actions were not highly premeditated, but had happened on the spur of the moment, when in drink. He was of "very modest" intellect and could not have been expected to fully understand what was going on in his friend's head at the time.
Giving judgment, the appeal judge said Howe had lost mitigation by not pleading guilty and that the injuries resulting from his actions were "of the gravest nature".
He also knew that his friend's suicide threats were not empty and had handed him the "lethal combination" of fuel and lighter.
But he continued: "He can legitimately refer in mitigation to his age at the time of the offence, his immaturity and his absence of previous convictions.
"Death did not in fact result from his assistance, although these injuries would ordinarily have caused it, and the victim is left in a permanent and dreadful condition.
"There is no apparent ulterior motive. This is not a case of forcing the victim to act, albeit it is a case where the attempt at suicide could not have taken place but for the appellant's actions."
He concluded: "Notwithstanding the dreadful consequences for Mr Walker, this sentence was too long."
The sentence was cut to 10 years.

This partnership is not simply about putting up a banner in the arena. We can help the team if they have any moving requirements.
KELOWNA, British Columbia (PRWEB) January 05, 2018
Bekins Moving & Storage Kelowna has scored a winning goal by teaming up with the Kelowna Rockets to become the WHL hockey team's official movers.
The announcement comes on the heels of the Kelowna movers' hiring of new vice president of sales and marketing Joe Gagnon, who has years of experience in the moving industry and is no stranger to working with sports organizations.
"I love working on marketing with sports teams, as it is a good way to support community," says Gagnon.
With the support of Bekins Kelowna general manager Nathan Miller, Gagnon will be working with the Rockets on both on- and off-the-ice promotion, branding, and with any moving services the team may require.
"People here are crazy about their hockey team," says Gagnon, who has caught the Rockets in action a few times since moving to the Okanagan from Montreal. "Teaming up with the Rockets gives us credibility as well as publicity and recognition. The Rockets are a class act who are not going to associate with a company that is anything but credible."
The former owner of Westmount Moving & Warehousing, a successful moving company based in LaSalle, Que., with offices in Kitchener-Waterloo and Ottawa, Ont., Gagnon helped his company become the official movers of the NHL's Montreal Canadiens. The company also partnered with the OHL's Kitchener-Waterloo Rangers team, the CFL's Alouettes football team, and for a while, with the Ottawa Senators.
"Larry Smith, who was president with the Alouettes, was a shareholder at Westmount," says Gagnon. "When we were with Westmount, we were the official movers with the Canadiens for 12 years. We made great corporate connections and met great people."
Westmount was also responsible for providing moving services to a number of players, including defenseman Shae Weber when he came to Montreal after P.K. Subban was traded to the Nashville Predators.
"With the Canadiens, we did more than $250,000 worth of moving services when players were traded or with moving other players around," says Gagnon.
While the price tag with the Kelowna Rockets will not be as high, Bekins' movers in Kelowna will be available to assist the team with any of its moving needs.
"This partnership is not simply about putting up a banner in the arena. We can help the team if they have any moving requirements or if any renovations take place at Prospera Place, where moving and storage services may be required. Things can come up where they may need a truck and men," says Gagnon.
As the Rockets are now halfway through their season—as of press time, the 2004 Memorial Cup Champions were standing third in the Western Conference—most of Bekins' on-ice promotion, such as sponsoring screen shots, will likely take place next season.
"We're just getting started to plan and amp up our marketing inventory for next season. This also ties in well with radio and our website development. People will say, 'we heard them on the radio,' and then they will see our logo on the screen. It keeps us top-of-mind. There's no reason why someone shouldn't know about Bekins," says Gagnon.
And while advertising certainly has its benefits, for the partnership to be mutually beneficial, it has to be for the long run, he adds.
"If we're in and out, there's no real value. My intention at Bekins is for this to become a long-term relationship with the Rockets. That's our best chance of success."

This week's running schedule!
Last week was a strange week. Let's start with, the temperature was below zero for 3 out of the seven days. Instead of a nice easy 6 miler on Tuesday, we got out, ran for 3, then I decided I was just too uncomfortable to finish. Thursday was, again just too damn cold...so we decided to practice yoga INSIDE instead of doing our 800s. Training is supposed to be fun, not torture. I'm still going to be able to run a marathon in May regardless of whether I skipped a few training runs here or there.
Besides, every now and then you need an easy week.
Friday and Saturday were both pretty easy runs. We just did a 10k on Saturday and it was the first time we ran in the sun since we were on Maui. I overdressed because it was supposed to be cold and WINDY. Windy, it was, but the sun is stronger than the wind (I believe there is an Aesop's Fable about that) and I had to take off my sweats within 5 minutes of beginning.
This week, we're only going to do five 800s, instead of seven, since that is what we were supposed to do last week and we skipped it. Plus, I haven't updated my training schedule but it's really only supposed to be six this week anyway. I'm looking forward to a tougher week, mostly because the weather is going to warm up. So maybe, just maybe I won't have to spend 20 minutes getting ready to run!
Some things I want to keep an eye on this week:
- My left shin, it's been nagging a bit on the last few runs. At the very least, I need to do a few toe taps before heading out the door to warm up those muscles a bit.
- Brandon's right foot, which has been hurting him again. Two of his metatarsal bones (2nd and 3rd ray I think) sit very close together and rub against each other. Painful.
Today, I'll be venturing outside for my run at lunch. I'm excited to have the afternoon off because of running earlier in the day - that's what I love so much about running in the morning. When it is lighter and warmer earlier (like maybe in April or May) we might begin to do a few of our runs before work instead of afterwards.
I can tell I'm getting stronger. The most telling thing is the number of push ups I can do in a row. I think I'm up to about 23 right now, which is awesome!! That's 11 more than I could do two weeks ago! I'll try to get some in before or after my run today, but I always feel so ridiculous working out in my office. We really need a dedicated workout room!
This week, I also want to pay close attention to how I'm fueling my body. We have several tough runs coming up, so gorging on sugary snacks and pizza is probably not my best choice (guilty, there were a lot of those things last week!) Although, I'm not gonna lie, one of my colleagues brought in the most adorable "conversation heart" sugar cookies. I will be enjoying one of those shortly.
If you're training, how did your last week go? What's in store for this week?
Peace, Love & Bagels,

President of the National Farmers Union Scotland, Andrew McCornick, has called on the UK Government to rule out a no-deal Brexit claiming leaving the EU without a deal would be "catastrophic for Scotland's farmers and crofters".
In a speech to NFUS members, Andrew McCornick said:
No deal means a hard Brexit and this means the UK falling out of Europe on 30 March and the application of World Trade Organization tariffs.
Under a WTO regime the rules will deliver no continuity on what we are currently doing for many key sectors of our economy. This means massive disruption, amongst which will be the introduction of tariffs.
Agriculture and agri-food will be the most seriously affected where the highest tariff rates are found. Red meat for example would see tariffs of around 40 per cent.
The SNP have backed calls for the UK government to extend Article 50 and bring forward legislation for a second EU referendum.
The National Farmers Union Scotland (NFUS) supports the SNP's position that all decisions affecting agriculture in Scotland should be taken in Scotland.
Commenting, SNP MSP for Angus South Constituency Graeme Dey said:
The UK Government is taking Scotland's farmers and crofters to the brink of a Brexit disaster – a no-deal Brexit would be deeply damaging for jobs, businesses and livelihoods here in Angus South.
With Theresa May's Brexit deal dead in the water, the Tories must put their narrow-minded party infighting to one side and focus on limiting the negative impact that leaving the EU will have on rural Scotland.
It is clear that a no deal Brexit will be damaging to Scotland, and with us just seven weeks away from 29th March, it is time that the Prime Minster committed to taking this off the table and extending the Article 50 process.

When I was younger my siblings and I constantly made fun of and complained about the number of books my dad had at home, in his church office and in his car. Seriously, if you saw the amount of books in my Dad's library you'd understand. However, it's funny how much I am taking after my Dad because I am beginning to cultivate an ever growing library of my own. We kids still poke fun at my Dad, but I now immensely respect my Dad for his library because it displays that he was always learning (Even today you could find him in the middle of ten or so books at a time…it's amazing). He is the best example in my life of a lifelong learner. He could use sermons over and over, but there is no need…he is always learning and developing fresh thoughts. He is 65, but definitely more progressive in his thinking/writing and farther on the cutting edge than I probably will ever be. From his example I learned being well-read is important if I am preach a lifetime.
—My mom actually wrote me the other day with URL to his new website. It's still being constructed, but will begin posting thoughts soon—
In my father's footsteps I love to read (this wasn't always true). From his bookshelves and of others I respect I've discovered several authors worth keeping tabs on. Below are some a few of the authors that grace their shelves…and now grace mine.
Ministry and Leadership
Leonard Sweet
Tom Rainer
Theological and Scholarly
N.T. Wright
Eugene Peterson
Philip Yancey
Dallas Willard
Authors Having Passed
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Henri Nouwen
A.W. Tozer
Leeland Ryken

One of the primary emphases of my ministry is teaching. In fact, I would say it is the cental emphasis of what I do. I teach junior high students, high school kids, young adults and share a portion of the preaching responsibility with our sr. minister. So, I spend a good portion of my week in prep time getting ready for an upcoming lesson or future series that is in the que.
One of the questions I am constantly asked is what I use for prep. I must admit that I am a bit quirky on my study and prep time…meaning my habits are my own. However, let me point you to a few resources I use just about week in and week and that are always close by me when studying. And in the future I will point you to other resources that may be of value to you.
1. The Dictionary of Biblical Imagery. Absolutely fantastic. This gives wonderful overviews of about any Biblical topic or idea (i.e. Shepherd, Obedience, Sabbath, etc.). It is fairly brief, but pretty stinkin' thorough.
2. Bible Background Commentary. Offers good cultural background without having to search all over. I highly recommend this. There is an OT and NT available.
3. Playing With Fire. I love Russell's attitude toward Scripture. He looks at things on a macro level here, fitting each part of Scripture into the larger story. His approach gets me fired up and I found myself reading and rereading his material.
4. Finally…get yourself this little pocket dictionary. It's just good to keep something near you that breaks down all the big words (at least I need it in my world).

A root canal is the naturally occurring structural space within the origin of a tooth. It includes the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the primary canal(s), and extra complex physiological branches that may connect the origin canals to each other or to the surface area of the root.
At the facility of every tooth is a hollow area that houses soft tissues, such as the nerve, blood vessels, as well as connective tissue. This hollow location consists of a reasonably vast area in the coronal portion of the tooth called the pulp chamber. These canals go through the center of the roots, comparable to the method pencil lead goes through a pencil. The pulp gets nourishment through the capillary, as well as sensory nerves carry signals back to the mind. A tooth can be spared pain if there is permanent damage to the pulp, using root canal therapy.
Root canal makeup includes the pulp chamber and also origin canals. Both have the dental pulp. The smaller branches, referred to as accessory canals, are most frequently discovered near the origin end (pinnacle) however may be experienced anywhere along the root size. The total variety of root canals per tooth depends on the variety of tooth origins ranging from one to four, 5 or more in some situations. Sometimes there is greater than one root canal per origin. Some teeth have an even more variable interior makeup than others. An uncommon root canal shape, facility branching (particularly the presence of straight branches), and also several origin canals are thought about as the major reasons for root canal treatment failures. (e.g. If a secondary root canal goes undetected by the dentist and also is not cleansed and sealed, it will certainly remain contaminated, causing the root canal treatment to fall short).
The particular attributes as well as complexity of the inner composition of the teeth have been extensively examined. Using a replica technique on countless teeth, Hess made clear as very early as 1917 that the inner room of dental roots is typically a complicated system composed of a central location (origin canals with round, oval or uneven cross-sectional shape) as well as lateral components (fins, anastomoses, and also accessory canals). In fact, this lateral part might represent a reasonably large volume, which challenges the cleansing stage of the instrumentation treatment in that cells residues of the essential or lethal pulp in addition to contagious components are not quickly eliminated in these areas. Therefore, the image of root canals having a smooth, conical form is typically as well optimistic and also undervalues the reach of root canal instrumentation.
The room inside the origin canals is loaded with a highly vascularized, loosened connective tissue, called dental pulp. The dental pulp is the cells of which the dentin part of the tooth is made up. The dental pulp aids the complete formation of the additional teeth (adult teeth) one to two years after eruption into the mouth. The dental pulp additionally nourishes and moisturizes the tooth framework, making the tooth much more durable, less fragile as well as less susceptible to crack from chewing tough foods. Additionally, the dental pulp supplies a cold and hot sensory function.
Root canals providing an oval cross-section are discovered in 50– 70% of origin canals. On top of that, canals with a "tear-shaped" random sample are usual when a solitary root has 2 canals (as occurs, for example, with the extra mesial root seen with the lower molars), nuances that can be harder to value on classic radiographs. Current studies have shown that use cone-down CT can identify accessory canals that would have been missed in 23% of cases, which can, consequently, cause apical periodontitis. The upper molars, particularly, are inclined to have an occult device canal in nearly half of clients.
Root canal is additionally a colloquial term for a dental procedure, endodontic therapy, wherein the pulp is cleaned, the room decontaminated and afterwards filled up.
When rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) documents are used in canals with flat-oval or tear-shaped cross areas, a circular bore is produced due to the rotational activity of the steel. Also, tiny dental caries within the canal such as the buccal or linguistic recesses may not be instrumented within the tooth, potentially leaving recurring condition during disinfection.
Cells or biofilm residues along such un-instrumented recesses might cause failure due to both inadequate sanitation and also the inability to correctly obturate the root-canal area. As a result, the biofilm needs to be removed with a disinfectant throughout root canal treatment.
A dental implant (likewise called an endosseous implant or component) is a surgical part that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to sustain a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, face prosthesis or to work as an orthodontic support. The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic procedure called osseointegration, in which materials such as titanium create an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first put to ensure that it is likely to osseointegrate, after that a dental prosthetic is added. A variable amount of recovery time is needed for osseointegration prior to either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is connected to the implant or a joint is positioned which will certainly hold a dental prosthetic.

Until now the only known photographs of James Cholmeley Russell were those in the
possession of the late Evelyn
Pangman (1926-2016), his grand daughter and these largely dated from the last ten years or
so of his life. However, we now have one of when Russell was a young
undergraduate, thanks to one Alfred Earle and Dr. Robin Darwall-Smith the
archivist of
Magdalene College, .
|Russell at Magdalen College
Dr. Darwall-Smith has recently been making the College's archives catalogue available on the Internet with the express objective of helping researchers and generally making the College's archives more publicly accessible. This excellent policy resulted in the Group's chairman
Nick Booker,
visiting the archive one Friday morning in October 2014 to look though the
Photograph Album of Alfred Earle that is in the archives. Mr Earle matriculated
from Magdalen in 1859 and took his BA in 1865 and his MA in 1866. He was thus a
contemporary of Russell who left at Christmas 1859
going up to Magdalene and matriculating the following year, graduating in 1864. Harrow
The large bound album is a personal photographic collection of local scenes and buildings including pubs (!) but more particularly of many of Earle's fellow students including photographic studio portraits, group photographs taken around the College, the Oxford University Volunteer Force on parade with their uniforms and rifles and at camp in Wimbledon and views around
and locally. Interestingly there are several photographs devoted to the Prince
of Wales and his entourage, later King Edward VII, who was at Magdalen from
October 1859 to the summer of 1860; so Russell may have met the future King. Oxford
The photograph of Russell shown here is believed to have taken around this time. Dr Darvill - Smith commented that it was then the practice for undergraduates to have a number of photographs taken of themselves, which would then be passed round in exchange for one from the recipient, a sort of analogue Facebook!
What is remarkable about this album is that is that it was assembled some twenty years before George Eastman of Kodak fame developed roll film, in 1884, to replace the photographic plates and toxic chemicals that the photographer had to carry around.
Nick Booker extends his thanks to Dr Darwall- Smith and his Archives Assistant Mr Ben Taylor for their help and co-operation. The photographs of Russell and the College are reproduced courtesy of the President of Magdalen College.

Australia Day is rapidly approaching once again, and as Australians far and wide plan their celebrations we would like to make a few suggestions of our own. But first of all, a little information about this holiday for those not in the know!
Celebrated on the 26th of January every year, Australia Day marks the arrival of the very first fleet of British ships at Port Jackson in New South Wales, all the way back in 1788. While it could be argued that there are better dates for an official Australia Day, this is the one that has stuck, and as immigrants partake in citizenship ceremonies to affirm their commitment to their new homeland, native Australians all around the world will be celebrating their own proud heritage however they see fit.
The day itself is celebrated all around Australia and focuses on appreciating diversity, community, history and the landscape of the nation. The Australian of the Year awards and honour lists are also released at this time and there are events in every major capital for those wanting to get out and have fun.
However if you can't get out this Australia Day, or you're an expat living away from Australia, we have a few tips and suggestions of what you can do. Of course there are all kinds of things you can do – the important thing is to celebrate the beautiful history and culture of our magnificent county.
Some easy things to do –
Organise a game of cricket! While expats might be a bit cold trying to do this in the rest of the world's winter, it would still be a great experience and something even non-Aussies could get well into. If you aren't with a particularly active bunch you can always watch the Australia vs India match at 2:20pm NSW local time from Sydney Cricket Ground.
Gather around to watch some classic Australian films, from the flamboyant yet poignant The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert to the Crocodile Dundee movies and even the revenge-fuelled Mad Max – or hit the nail right on the head with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in Australia. Alternatives to the usual might include Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation, The Babadook or the Aboriginal Samson and Delilah. Anything by Baz Luhrmann is also acceptable although unfortunately if you have children you may not have a choice other than The Wiggles movie!
Us Aussies love to eat, and this doesn't change just because we live somewhere that's too cold to barbecue. Come rain or snow Aussies around the world will be lighting the BBQ on this Australia Day and serving up seafood, kangaroo burgers and spicy chicken. In the kitchen, chefs can prepare pavlova and lamingtons for dessert – although for a fantastic adaptation of an Australian treat read on for how to make a Tim Tam cake!
- 370g caster sugar
- 185g room temperature butter, chopped
- Three eggs
- 225g self-raising lour
- 80g cocoa powder
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 125ml milk
- 125ml water
- 100g of Tim Tams, finely chopped
For the ganache:
- 300ml pouring cream
- 400g milk chocolate, chopped
For the filling:
- 450g icing sugar, sifted
- 125g butter
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp malted milk powder
- 200g milk chocolate, melted
- Begin by preheating your own to 180°C and lining two 18x27cm tins.
- Beat together the butter and sugar until creamy and pale, and then beat in the eggs one at a time until just combined.
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda, and then sift half into the butter and sugar mixture. Add milk and then fold with a metal spoon before sifting in the remaining flour mixture. Add water and fold.
- Divide the mixture between the two tins and cook for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. Cool in the pan for five minutes before moving onto a wire rack.
- Melt the chocolate and separately bring the cream to boil in a saucepan before pouring the cream over the chocolate. Sit until smooth and leave in the fridge for forty minutes until thick and cool.
- For the filling, beat the butter until it becomes pale and fluffy. Add the icing sugar, milk powder and milk until smooth and then beat in the chocolate until thoroughly mixed.
- Mix the chopped Tim Tams into the filling and spread out across one layer of the cake. Put the other half of cake on top and leave for around thirty minutes before spreading on the ganache and leaving it to cool once more.
And there we have it – Australia Day 2015 all wrapped up! Remember that if you aren't in the homeland, the date will fall on a Monday, so why not make it an Australia Weekend instead?

We recently had the opportunity, courtesy of MomsMeet, to review Kashi's new Chocolate Soft-Baked Squares.
If there is anything that my family loves, it is chocolate baked into just about anything. Chocolate cookies, chocolate cakes, chocolate brownies… you get the picture.
With that in mind, I thought the Chocolate Soft-Baked Squares would be a good-for-you alternative, since it s made with seven whole grains, sweet potatoes, and black beans. I thought it would be a sure hit.
Turns out, I was the only one that would eat them. The kids took one bite and left the chocolate square on their plate. Hubs said that they tasted too "good for you" to be "good."
I daresay this is the first chocolate snack that none of them wanted seconds of. I had to enjoy the rest of the box by myself.
While I thought they were good, I don't think I will be buying them again. There are just too many other Kashi products that all of us like to bring these home and not be able to enjoy them with the rest of the family.

GIANT m-fing storms ripped through here yesterday afternoon (I'm in western/central NC) and we haven't had power for almost 19 hours now. GOOD TIMES!
I was, in fact, happily surfing the internets, and probably GT, when the sky immediately went to black and the strongest winds I've seen in a long time suddenly appeared. I really thought we were getting a tornado. Our house is surrounded by very tall trees, and I look out the window and the fuckers are being bent over almost to the ground and there are leaves and branches flying everywhere. The rain is literally horizontal. The dogs started freaking out a little (one of them is seriously thunder-phobic), the lights flickered on and off about 1o times and then stayed off. And then it was over, save for a boring thunderstorm.
You have no idea how much you're dependent on electricity until it's gone. No A/C, no TV, no internet. We can't use the stove, the fridge is dead, can't even make coffee. At least, thank the goddess, we can use toilets and shower. We have plenty of candles and a few flashlights. B was with the boys at their mom's house, and I drove around just to pass the time and almost every streetlight was out (as an aside, WHY don't people remember Drivers Ed 101 that says when a streetlight is out at an intersection, it essentially becomes a 4-way stop and those rules apply! People were seriously wanting to die last night like it was fucking anarchy or something. Grr) Read books by candlelight and hoped for power in the morning. Nope, still out.
So here I am camped out at Panera, charging all the things, and hoping we have it back by this afternoon, tonight at the least. YAY big fun.
Here's a pic that doesn't do justice to the damage, but it's our driveway, garage and the field beyond, in the back where you can see the top of a tree that got blown over. I'm lucky my car didn't get smashed, I had it parked under a big tree, too.

text: While choosing a CRM system, it is important to decide whether you want it to be hosted locally or in the cloud. Both the approaches have their advantages and disadvantages but both offer you with lot of choices. Local CRM can give you more control about everything and offer capital-based payment system. In local CRM, you are responsible for all the maintenance and takes time, effort and expenses. On the other hand, Cloud-based CRM can take most of the administrative load off your organization and tends toward an operating expense method of payment. It can offload most of the administrative effort and maintenance on to the service provider and the overall effort is much less.

The American multinational corporation, Apple has announced an updated/redesigned version of its iMac computers as well as new versions of its iLife and iWork software. As you see in the photo, the new iMacs that come with a slimmer design, polished look, faster chips and glossy screens are the headquarters of an Apple product, which aimed to increase its market share in the PC industry. In simply words, the new desktop computers now replacing its old white plastic with a lighter and more environmentally friendly material – aluminum and glass.
The new iMacs will come in only 20-inch and 24-inch versions, and the company will no longer offer a 17-inch iMac anymore. With the prices at $1,199 (20 inch) and $1,799 (24 inch) respectively, the new iMacs are also $200 to $300 cheaper than their predecessors. In addition, the new Macs also feature Intel Core 2 Extreme processors (up to 2.8GHz), up to 4GB of memory, ATI Radeon HD graphics card, up to 1TB of hard drive storage, 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.0 built-in.

I Fall in Love with the Darkness of Everyday Life.
I have an old soul, it looks a lot like a dress that Jane Eyre would have worn: plain and grey.
But I hold so much of a dreaming mind about me, being a hopeless sort of romantic woman. I swear I shoot spells out of my fingertips with all the grace of my old wisdom that holds up in my bones, my feelings oftentimes like that of the crone in my young body.
I see myself as an otherworldly creature, not quite fitting in anywhere, and yet when I am loved, I am loved particularly for the strangeness and curious nature I possess, a confusing and ultimately maddening nature no less. The mystery of my soul is like the twinkle of moon dust upon the blackness of the night sky, a star exploding and saying goodbye.
Everything must be done exceptionally fast, otherwise I am gone, my ageless adventurer heart cannot be tamed, and boredom is a chain that cuffs me like a slave.
I wasn't made to play small, and yet this world seems determined to pinch my head like a child doing a magic trick, the illusion is the problem I can't seem to grasp long enough to rise into the state of being we all inherently possess. But that is meaningless, since there is nowhere to rise to!
When that illusion is lifted, I tire of writing freely of my worldly confusion, something that has been a problem my whole life. I always looked for the magical in the mundane, and came up gasping for breath, always the same desperate attempt at finding that higher plane of existence that I firmly believed existed.
But love is the cure for all diseases listed in the codex of illness. Love has cured me from an illness of hell. Fear is the symptom of death, my dear, and there is no pill to take to mask that sort of chill and body ache but love. In loving myself, and allowing myself to be loved, I found myself: a priestess made from darkness and bone, divining my dreams, entangling myself in their ever present mystery.
I feel deeply through my shadows, they are my oldest friends. I fall in love with the darkness of everyday life, the thick blanket of emotions that follows living creatures wherever they go. I connect with that infinite Divine Feminine energy that bathes in my womb.
My birthright as a woman, the sacred temple of my womanhood, is where I lie down to rest. It calls to me in my night dreams, it swirls at the base of my spine, allowing Shakti to flow up to meet my heart in the wild cage that barely contains its wild fluttering. I am the Dark Goddess reaching for the black of my heart that holds the wisdom of the ages, of the enchantresses who lived and died before me.
I am bowing my head, removing my crown, and laying it at the roots of the ancient tree that basks in the glow of the stars and crescent moon's ethereal light. Shedding, shedding what must be shed, just as a snake releases what is no longer serving her. I leave behind the filth of my past undoing, the shackles that tried to hold me. I am a Wild Woman and will not be held down.
I lie beneath the night sky, my body free of misconceptions of beauty, free from the heavy trials of right and wrong. I dance to the drumming of my ever strong, ever wise heart.
I trust the Wise Woman who speaks through my intuition, guiding me with her deep and ancient wisdom. Just as a spider weaves her web, I weave my knowing into the scars and stars on my skin. I trust the Wild Woman who walks with my feet, carrying me with courage where I must go. I trust the Maiden who thirsts for life in my heart center, always believing that life is new and good.
I am she who infinitely opens herself up to the Universe and its limitless flowing rivers of love even with all the pain she has known. I am Divine Feminine, I am she who knows.
Hannah Heslop is a mother, a certified energy and Reiki healer, a student of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, an active seeker of magic and wisdom, and a writer of the Divine Feminine. She is a lover of crystals, deep dark poetry, and coffee.

LONDON: Riyadh-born designer Lina Hamed sits at her drafting desk in her home in west London holding a delicate looking pen. She raises her head to look at the view from the window and comments that certain daylight is ideal for drawing.
Hamed is the founder of Analeena, which translates to "I am Lina," the high-end label that was founded in 2009.
The label is stocked in London's ultra-glamorous department store, Harrods — a good indicator of its luxurious designs.
Analeena's focus on exotic leather — she is known for her use of crocodile, alligator and ostrich leather — and attention to detail is what sets the brand apart.
"My handbags are worn by the woman who understands luxury and appreciates quality," she told Arab News.
"I want the bags to have a long life and be passed down to the next generation. I have built in torches with chargers inside the bags and bag hangers inside each bag," she said, referring to her now famous secret pockets and hideaways for trinkets.
London is this designer's city of choice and she lauds its many cultures.
"London is a very rich city with many cultures," she said with fondness.
Hamed has a message for young designers who are starting out in the field.
"Focus on what you want to achieve. Don't waste time thinking about the competition, there will always be someone new."
Analeena's designs have been spotted on the likes of Blake Lively's "Gossip Girl" character on the much-loved TV show, as well as celebrities Dita Von Teese and Molly Sims.

Since this is a blog about vintage and art l was thinking it might be nice every now and then to feature a favourite artist, much like the post l did on Monet, not that l want to go on (and on) so as to bore you to distraction, but just introduce some art you might find interesting and inspiring, that you might not otherwise know about.
Kaffe began his creative life as a painter and at age 19 won a scholarship to the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, but after 3 months he went to England to paint. On a trip to Scotland he visited a Woollen Mill and loved that the yarns were available in the colours of the landscape that was so inspiring to him. He bought 20 balls of Shetland wool and a pair of knitting needles. On the way back to London on the train, some kindly passenger taught him to knit...his very first design ended up as a full page spread in Vogue knitting magazine. He has written over 30 books, many of them on arty designer knitwear, as well as patchwork quilts, tapestries and mosaics.
