Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TopMedTalk - Addressing drug allergy labels: insights and implications
Q: What did the Sapphire and DALES studies reveal about the impact of drug allergy labels on patient outcomes?
They show substantial harm associated with labels, including higher rates of postoperative complications and broader antibiotic use; many labels are wrong, and delabeling can improve appropriate antibiotic use.
TopMedTalk - Addressing drug allergy labels: insights and implications
Q: What do we mean by a labelling of a drug allergy versus a true medical drug allergy?
Most labels are not true allergies; many reflect side effects or unrelated reactions. True allergies constitute a minority, and identifying them is crucial to avoid harm from unnecessary avoidance of first-line drugs.
A conversation with Prof Pierre Foex and Prof Helen Higham
Q: How did your work change perioperative management of hypertensive patients in the 1970s?
The team challenged the conventional rule of stopping beta blockers before surgery, showing that continuing beta blockade led to more stable patients and fewer hypertensive surges during laryngoscopy and intubation.
A conversation with Prof Pierre Foex and Prof Helen Higham
Q: What sparked your move to Oxford and how did mentoring influence your early career there?
Pierre Foix explains that a gardener's invitation and the support from cardiology colleagues propelled him to Oxford, where mentorship from senior figures and a welcoming lab environment helped him establish a lasting research program and leadership role.
Anaesthesia 2025 podcast - Paediatric regional anaesthesia
Q: What would you want the listener to this podcast to take away from this?
Dr. Mislovic believes there's significant benefit in regional techniques for children, especially given their sensitivity to opioids, advocating for a collaborative approach to educate and transition practices.
