Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 164 ratings
  • 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.

  • Sound Engineering could be improved

    Often interesting topics, but difficult to listen to due to poor mike placement, frequency compensation and reverb.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E221 - Antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures: an update
Q: How should practitioners think about antibiotic choice and timing in dental prophylaxis?
Consult the guidelines for each patient; amoxicillin is commonly used one hour before the procedure, with alternatives for penicillin allergies; in hospital settings, IV antibiotics and different timing may apply; the key is to ensure appropriate drug choice and adequate plasma concentrations.
E221 - Antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures: an update
Q: What is the best approach to assessing endocarditis risk before a procedure?
Clinicians should use a simple two-box method: determine if the patient has a high-risk cardiac condition and whether the planned procedure involves gingival manipulation or deep tissue work, then decide on prophylaxis accordingly after reviewing the medical history and possibly consulting the treating specialist.
E221 - Antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures: an update
Q: Could you walk us through which dental procedures typically require antibiotic prophylaxis and which do not?
Most routine dental procedures do not require prophylaxis; exceptions are limited to certain major oral and maxillofacial procedures, where clinicians assess risk and may prescribe prophylaxis in consultation with specialists or according to guidelines.
E217 - Emergency contraception: an overview
Q: How do the two oral options differ in their mechanism and timing
Levonorgestrel delays ovulation by acting as a synthetic progesterone, whereas ulipristal acetate is a progesterone receptor modulator with a similar goal of delaying ovulation and can be effective later in the cycle, even through the LH surge as long as ovulation has not yet occurred.
E217 - Emergency contraception: an overview
Q: To start, Jo, what types of emergency contraception are currently available in Australia?
There are two oral options, levonorgestrel and ulipristal acetate, with the copper IUD as a non-oral option. Levonorgestrel works best earlier after unprotected sex and is effective up to about 72 hours (and possibly to 96 hours), while ulipristal acetate can be effective up to 5 days. The copper IUD offers the most flexibility, usable up to 5 days after intercourse or the earliest ovulation date.
