In episode 555, James and Mike invite Jamie Falk back to the podcast to talk about the best available evidence for acetylsalicylic acid and its potential impact on reducing the risk of complications in women at risk of preeclampsia. The evidence is pretty clear and we are able to give decent estimates of the benefits and harms. Have a listen – it may change your practice.

In episode 554, James and Mike go over a topic we have never covered in 553 previous podcasts. We invited Samantha Moe back to the podcast to talk about how effective are pelvic floor exercises or pessaries for stress urinary incontinence. We find that the magnitude of the benefits from pelvic floor exercises is fairly impressive. Tune in to find out what numbers we thought justified the phrase “fairly impressive” and see if you agree.
