In episode 438, Mike and James discuss 4 studies that likely could change what you are doing, or saying to your patients in your practice. Hip replacements – they last longer than you may think, vitamin D – bigger isn’t better, actinic keratosis – 5-FU is best, and weight loss really does treat T2DM. Check it out.

In episode 437, Mike and James invite Joey Ton to help us work through all the evidence around Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for tendinopathies. The best evidence for Achilles tendinopathy, lateral epicondylitis, and rotator cuff tendinopathy shows no difference in pain, function or return to sport when PRP is compared to dry needling or saline.

Tools for Practice
In episode 436, Mike and James invite Samantha Moe to help us work through the recent evidence suggesting that hydrocholorothiazide is associated with squamous cell skin cancer. We go over all the numbers and talk about how we use cohort data to figure out if an association needs to influence our clinical practice. As always it is tricky.
