Physical Therapy Doctor and Head Injury Survivor Uses Experiences to Write New Book: Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: One Name for Two Diagnoses
Out of Alaska comes Dr. Catherine Mormile, a new leader in health care with her bold, new book, which explains that temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are really one word for two diagnoses. One diagnosis, joint TMD presents with measurable structural damage to the cartilage, bones, and ligaments of the joint itself. The other, muscular TMD, presents as a painful condition of the muscles involved in chewing, and often involving the muscles of the scalp, base of neck, and shoulders. With a background of stubbornly surviving near-death on the Iditarod Trail, academic excellence, and scientific inquiry, Dr. Mormile now offers her one-of-a-kind way of thinking and approach to the nagging problem of TMD to all.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) : One Name for Two Diagnoses
In article published in a recent issue of the Alaska Journal of Commerce, Catherine Mormile, DPT explains that the term temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), a disorder that affects nearly 10 million Americans and four times more women than men is really the same name for two distinct diagnoses that affect the temporomandibular "joint" and the temporomandibular "muscles". Failure to understand this distinction may lead to confusion and misunderstanding of this disorder by patient and clinician alike. In her article, Dr. Mormile attempts to alleviates confusion by describing both diagnoses.

Jan 12, 2006 ... Live from the CNN studios in New York, here's Anderson Cooper. ...... More than a decade ago it caught Catherine Mormile off guard in Alaska ...
Randy McCloy and his fellow miners were trained to defend themselves against carbon monoxide poisoning. It was after all a danger they lived with every time they went underground. For some 500 other Americans each year carbon monoxide is an unexpected killer; a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that does its damage quickly.
More than a decade ago it caught Catherine Mormile off guard in Alaska where she was competing in her third Iditarod race. She took a break to change her socks, and a propane heater in an unvented tent almost killed her --almost. I talked to her earlier today.
