  • 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.

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.
Walker A.: Obesity & Autism
Q: What has your clinical data revealed about the intersection of obesity and autism in your patient population?
There appears to be a notably higher incidence of autism among children with obesity, and their eating patterns are often shaped by sensory processing and interoception, leading to both over- and under-eating in different cases.
Van der Doef H.: Vascular complications after Liver Transplant
Q: What are the main challenges in evaluating therapies for these complications?
Retrospective data and selection bias complicate comparisons; efforts are focused on developing guidelines and standardized outcome measures to improve evidence quality.
Van der Doef H.: Vascular complications after Liver Transplant
Q: What treatment options are emerging for portal vein occlusion after transplant?
Options include surgical bypass and endovascular recanalization, with endovascular approaches becoming more common as data accumulates on outcomes.
