  • Unbearable host

    Self referencing and patronising to the guests, I stopped listening to the podcast because he’s so tough to put up with.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Morris T.: Preventing Metabolic Bone Disease in Children on Home Parenteral Nutrition
Q: What are the main modifiable factors to prevent progression of MBD in home PN patients?
Key factors include adjusting the calcium to phosphate ratio in PN, ensuring vitamin D repletion is not solely relied upon, and monitoring PTH to intervene before osteopenia or osteomalacia develops.
Morris T.: Preventing Metabolic Bone Disease in Children on Home Parenteral Nutrition
Q: How often should bone density be monitored in this population?
Bone density is typically checked starting around age five and then periodically during childhood to monitor for reduced bone mineral density or fractures, with metabolic bone teams involved if problems arise.
Morris T.: Preventing Metabolic Bone Disease in Children on Home Parenteral Nutrition
Q: What is current clinical practice for PTH measurement in these patients?
There is little guidance in guidelines, practice varies, and the interviewee emphasizes measuring PTH routinely to detect early calcium deficiency and adjust PN accordingly.
Verduci E. & Koeglmeier J.: Vegan Diet
Q: Are these numbers for pediatric age patients or the general population?
These prevalence figures refer mainly to the general population, not specifically to pediatric age groups, and the hosts stress that pediatric prevalence data are not well established.
Verduci E. & Koeglmeier J.: Vegan Diet
Q: How prevalent are vegan diets in Italy and in the UK?
In Italy, around 1-2% overall follow vegan patterns, with lacto-vegetarian patterns more common; in the UK, plant-based diets are rising and the prevalence among children is uncertain, underscoring the need for careful monitoring and guidelines.
