Great content and very relevant
I had been listening to these podcast for past few months on my drive to work. Absolutely enjoyed with great content, highly informed presenters and very much to the point without wasting anytime. The audio quality is a let down. The music is very clear but sometimes it’s very difficult to hear the presenter especially if you are driving. I crank the volume all the way up and still not good enough. If I forgot to tone it down by the end, the music will be super loud. Please fix the audio issue.

Great program
Thanks for such great podcasts!
Just wondering if you could do a quick podcast on what to do when a naturopath wants very specific bloods to be ordered for a patient, but you don’t deem it to be clinically necessary? What’s our role/professional obligation to the natropath/patient?
Thanks!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bradycardia diagnosis and general management

Q: Other than an ECG, what do you think is the most practical initial workup? Do we look for electrolytes or anything in these cases?

Ng recommends checking thyroid function and electrolytes, particularly potassium, and reviewing the 12-lead ECG for conduction abnormalities. Exercise testing, including a brisk walk with a repeat heart-rate check, can help assess whether the rate rises appropriately. Symptoms and exercise tolerance guide further investigation and follow-up.

Bradycardia diagnosis and general management

Q: How do we distinguish between a physiological and a clinically concerning bradycardia? Is it more a specific number, the ECG finding, or the clinical context and scenario in which the heart rate is detected?

A heart rate below 60 beats per minute is a rough threshold, but interpretation depends on fitness, age, symptoms, and context. A low rate can be normal in a fit young person or during sleep, while a similar rate in an older, less active person may be pathological. Treatment is generally guided by symptoms and whether they coincide with the bradycardia.

Naltrexone in alcohol use disorder

Q: Are there situations where naltrexone may not be appropriate or where we might need to exercise caution when prescribing it?

The main contraindication is ongoing opioid use when the patient needs to keep taking opioids, because naltrexone blocks their effects. It can be paused before opioid pain relief is needed. Leitinger says it is generally safe in liver disease, recommends offering liver-function tests, and notes that mild early side effects usually resolve within a week.

Naltrexone in alcohol use disorder

Q: What is Naltrexone's role in alcohol use disorder? Because I think it's a treatment that we may be a little bit less familiar with compared to some of the other treatments. I guess, who should we consider prescribing this for?

Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist that may disrupt the endorphin-mediated reward from drinking, helping people gradually reduce their drinking and related harms. It offers another treatment option that can be tailored to a patient's goals and circumstances.

Alzheimer's Disease biomarker testing

Q: So can you tell me or I guess walk us through what are the actual practicalities for ordering this test? I'm talking about like, can we order it? How do we order it? What's the cost? Funding, that sort of thing.

The test is privately funded and can be requested through a pathology provider using a usual form. Daly estimates a cost of $200 to $400; samples are sent to a central laboratory, with rural clinicians needing to check local collection, processing and transport arrangements. Results may take a couple of weeks and include positive, negative and intermediate ranges.
