After a decent hiatus we're back with a new episode! Meckel diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract, found in the small intestine. The majority of patients are never diagnosed, as it is both often completely asymptomatic, and difficult to spot on the usual imaging modalities. 
The symptoms of a Meckel's depend on the complication it presents with - and there are a range of these from bleeding to bowel obstruction. 
Listen in to learn about the way these elusive diverticula present if they ever reveal themselves, how to manage it and more!

Noonan syndrome is one of the most common genetic conditions we see in paeds. It is most typically characterised by certain facial features, short stature, congenital heart defects and developmental delay. Noonan syndrome is caused by a mutation in a single gene, however there are quite a few possible genes that can be responsible. Vision and hearing loss, developmental delay, development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the increased risk of leukaemia are important complications to monitor for patients with Noonans.
 

Juvenile dermatomyositis, or JDM is a rare autoimmune myopathy.
In their first episode back after sitting specialty exams, Freya and Anne use a case to help explain what JDM is, as well as presentation, treatment and diagnosis (plus a couple of tangents about their day to day work as doctors!).
