    Ep 174 – Acute cholecystitis

    Acute cholecystitis is often seen in primary care patients and is a major complication of cholelithiasis. Symptomatic gallstones occur in up to 10% of patients before developing cholecystitis. Patients typically present with pain and localised tenderness, with or without guarding, in the upper right quadrant. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson provides an overview of this common problem, looking at its risk factors, causes, symptoms, investigations and the treatment options available, as well as the prognosis and advice to give our patients to help prevent recurrence.

    Ep 173 – Abdominal aortic aneurysm

    Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are potentially life-threatening and have a poor prognosis if ruptured. Arterial aneurysms are defined as a permanent localised dilatation of the vessel, enlarging significantly compared to a relatively normal diameter of the adjacent artery. An AAA is characterised by abnormal focal dilation of the abdominal aorta that is often detected incidentally or only at the time of rupture. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at AAA risk factors, clinical presentations, diagnostic investigations, screening, treatments and prognosis.

    Ep 172 – Keloid scars

    Keloid scars are a form of abnormal scarring that occur in susceptible individuals and often appear to be more common in darker skin types. Often observed between the ages of 10 and 30 years, and associated with skin trauma or inflammation, their diagnosis is a clinical one. Unfortunately, no definitive treatment is currently available, but options include injectable preparations and cryotherapy, as well as surgery and radiotherapy. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the aetiology, epidemiology and presentation of keloid scars as well as the efficacy of current treatments.

    Ep 171 – Rethinking HIV: prevention and pre-exposure prophylaxis

    What if one of the most misunderstood diagnoses of the past is now one of the most manageable chronic conditions? How can GPs play a pivotal role in tackling stigma, increasing testing and improving outcomes for people living with HIV? Dr James Waldron is joined by Dr Grace Bottoni (HIV and Hepatitis C GP Champion, Lewisham) for a series of podcasts about HIV. Together, they explore a range of topics with experts in the field. In this third episode, they talk with Dr Emily Mabonga (Consultant in HIV Medicine, London) about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP): who it is for, how to start the conversation and practicalities around access and dosing.

    Ep 170 – Aortic stenosis

    Aortic stenosis (AS) is an obstruction of blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta due to narrowing at the level of the aortic valve. In Europe, it is the most common valvular disease requiring treatment and is the second most frequent cause for cardiac surgery. By the age of 80, it occurs in almost 10% of adults and has a mortality rate of about 50% at 2 years unless the outflow obstruction is relieved. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment options and prognosis associated with this common condition usually seen in our elderly patients.

In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at risk factors, how to diagnose it, typical treatment options and prognosis.

    Ep 168 – Ectopic pregnancy

    In the UK, ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed in approximately 11 out of every 1,000 pregnancies and typically presents 6–8 weeks after the last normal menstrual period but can be earlier or later. The risk of ectopic pregnancy increases with prior ectopic pregnancy, tubal surgery, history of sexually transmitted infections, smoking, in vitro fertilisation or if the woman is pregnant despite intrauterine device usage. Classical symptoms and signs of ectopic pregnancy are pain, vaginal bleeding and amenorrhoea. Haemodynamic instability and cervical motion tenderness may indicate rupture or imminent rupture of an ectopic pregnancy. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson gives an overview of how to accurately diagnose an ectopic pregnancy, the management pathway involved and the risks of recurrence.
