Episode 555: An ASA a day when a baby’s on the way?

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.

Episode 554: Stress Urinary Incontinence: Pelvic floor exercises or pessary?

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.

Episode 553: How to Slow the Flow – Tranexamic acid for heavy menstrual bleeding

In episode 553, James and Mike get Jen Potter back to talk about the last option we have for heavy menstrual bleeding – tranexamic acid. We talk about how it compares to placebo, NSAIDs, progestins and levonorgestrel intrauterine devices and go over all the numbers for benefits and harms. And then as always, we put everything into clinical context.

Episode 551: Statins in older adults – there is an answer!

In episode 551, James and Mike invite Danielle Perry back to the podcast to talk about the best available evidence for the use of statins in people 65 and over. As you’ll hear, we have lots of evidence so all you need to know is what it says. Then, you can have an evidence-based discussion with all your people in this age category. After that discussion, your patient can make a decision one way or another and that means both of you win and you don’t have to care what guidelines say about this topic. Check it out.

Episode 549: Triglyce-Ride that High?

In episode 549, James and Mike invite Blair MacDonald to the podcast for the first time and we talk about a topic that we haven’t really covered to-date. We discuss the evidence around what happens to the risk of pancreatitis when we use triglyceride-lowering medications (fibrates, statins, niacin, omega-3s) in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Have a listen as the results may surprise you somewhat.
