Good content but could improve audio quality and delivery for increased engagement
This is informative and has up-to-date content for Australian medical practitioners and students. However, the audio quality could be improved and the podcast could be delivered in a more engaging way.

Normally great
I normally love this podcast and find it very informative. However, in the most recent episode (ep 179) one of the guests seemed to be answering questions posed by the host by reading from a pre-prepared answer sheet. This was very disengaging and did not make for a good listener experience. I hope future guests are more respectful to their hosts and listeners by answering questions through a more spontaneous, conversation-style means.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E213 - Metabolic dysfunction–associated fatty liver disease an update

Q: What are the surveillance recommendations for HCC in MAFLD patients?

Surveillance is advised for those with cirrhosis (6-monthly ultrasound ± AFP); for those without cirrhosis, the annual risk is very low, so routine surveillance is not recommended.

E213 - Metabolic dysfunction–associated fatty liver disease an update

Q: How should we approach screening and risk stratification in primary care for MAFLD?

Screen with ultrasound to detect steatosis, then use Fib4 to assess fibrosis risk; for intermediate fibrosis risk, second-line tests like elastography or HEPA score can help further stratify risk.

E213 - Metabolic dysfunction–associated fatty liver disease an update

Q: Do we think MAFLD is a sensitive early sign of metabolic dysfunction, or does it start alongside insulin resistance?

There is a bidirectional relationship; MAFLD can predict progression to type 2 diabetes even if diabetes is not present at baseline, and many adults with diabetes or obesity have MAFLD when assessed.

E212 - Cytomegalovirus in pregnancy: prevention, maternal screening, and the role of antivirals

Q: Can you summarize the key findings of the valacyclovir trial and its implications for practice?

The Israeli trial found high-dose valacyclovir reduced fetal transmission significantly in first-trimester infections, suggesting potential benefit, but due to risks and mixed results in other timing windows, widespread adoption requires careful patient selection and more data.

E212 - Cytomegalovirus in pregnancy: prevention, maternal screening, and the role of antivirals

Q: What is the role of screening in pregnancy and why is it controversial?

Screening can identify women at high risk for primary infection so targeted hygiene measures can be intensified, and it may guide consideration of antiviral therapy, but concerns include test timing, interpretation, feasibility, and potential harms from unnecessary treatment.
