By chance I had left my microphones in just the right place. In the early hours of the morning, a large male Orangutan starting calling from the rainforest canopy above.

Dr. Dan Rhon (T: @danrhon) is an active researcher for the US Department of Defence, a consultant and assistant professor at both Duke (North Carolina) and Baylor (Texas) Universities. He attended a manual therapy clinical fellowship at Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas, is a fellow in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT), and an orthopaedic clinical specialist (OCS). He completed a postdoc research fellowship through the University of Utah and has a strong research interest in the effectiveness of clinical care pathways for musculoskeletal disease, both at primary and specialty care levels, and the intersection of these two.
He was recently part of the investigating team who published a study on the effects of corticosteroid vs physiotherapy for managing knee osteoarthritis, published by the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine.
In this discussion with associate editor Paul Blazey (T: @blazey85), he focuses on the findings of the study and the implications for the effective management of one of the most prevalent conditions seen in MSK clinics across the world.

There has been a huge shift in golfers over the last 10 to 15 years with many more golfers at the top of the game such as Tiger Woods, Rory Mcllroy and Brooks Koepka focusing on Strength and Conditioning (S&C) to improve performance.
COVID-19 has stopped many sporting events and has provided some a unique opportunity to focus on S&C. Bryson DeChambeau took full advantage of this putting on large amounts of muscle and is the latest golfer to demonstrate the benefits of S&C in golf performance. In this podcast Dan Coughlan explains to Will Wynter Bee the shift in S&C in golf and how the different S&C programmes used by tour players can improve performance while minimising injury risk. He also discusses the S&C set up on the European tour.

Dr. Mark Matthews (@Mark_MatthewsNZ) is a Lecturer at Ulster University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Prof. Bill Vicenzino (@Bill_Vicenzino) is Chair in Sports Physiotherapy and Director of Sports Injuries Rehabilitation and Prevention for Health (SIRPH) research unit at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. In this episode, Dr. Erin Macri (@Erin_Macri) asks these clinician-researchers about their recent trial comparing foot orthoses to hip exercises, and how their results change what we think we know about managing patellofemoral pain.

On this week’s episode, we are joined by A/Prof Daniel Belavy (T: @BelavySpine) from the Institute of Physical Activity and Nutrition at Deakin University in Melbourne. A/Prof Belavy is a back pain and spine researcher, and Leader of the Spine Research Group at Deakin. In this 17-min podcast, A/Prof Belavy discusses: 
•         the most effective exercises to improve pain, physical function and mental in adults with non-specific chronic low back pain
•        how running and cycling affect spine health
•        how sitting and sedentary behaviour affect spine health

What are the best exercises to manage low back pain? with A/Prof Daniel Belavy. Episode #443

Dr. Harvi Hart is a postdoctoral researcher at Western University in London, Ontario, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Dr. Hart’s research focuses on identifying risk factors for knee osteoarthritis, both non-traumatic and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Through better understanding these risk factors, Dr. Hart aims to develop new treatment approaches for managing knee OA. In this episode, Dr. Erin Macri asks Dr. Hart about her most recent studies looking at cadence and its possible role in joint loading and knee osteoarthritis.

La réécriture des mythes européens dans Le Seigneur des anneaux, avec Eugène Frimas, Walter Aubrig et Armand Berger.
Tolkien trouvait que l’Angleterre manquait de légendes comparables à celles des Scandinaves, Grecs, Latins, ou encore Celtes. Il a plusieurs fois signalé son envie de donner à son pays une mythologie qui lui serait propre. Pour cela, il a repris des mythes européens et a créé son univers, avec ses dieux, ses peuples, ses langues, ses paysages différents… Et pourtant si proches des nôtres. Comme Homère, et comme Virgile ou Shakespeare, auxquels il s’était comparé, Tolkien a repris une matière ancienne pour la remodeler en une épopée intégrée à ce qu’il appelait « une longue ligne continue, indivisible », une tradition héroïque et littéraire.
