    Episode 91: Sleep Apnoea | Pickwickian Syndrome

    Charles Dicken’s first novel has an adolescent boy named Joe who was overweight and always sleepy. He could fall asleep at any time, even during meals. The novel is known as the Pickwick Papers. Decades later, doctors began to recognise patients with the same symptoms. They called it Pickwickian syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnoea is a common condition in the general community. Risk factors include being overweight, male, and over the age of 50. The difficulty for patients is they may not be aware they suffer from this condition unless a partner tells them they stop breathing during sleep. Fortunately, we have a number of treatment options available for patients who suffer from sleep apnoea. This is the story of sleep apnoea. Our special guests: Dr Saul Gilbert is the managing director of a sleep clinic called The Oasis in Adelaide with 25 years research and clinical experience in sleep psychophysiology. Dr Anuk Kruavit is a respiratory, sleep and general medicine physician with an interest in obstructive sleep apnoea and complex respiratory sleep disorders.

    Episode 90: Chronic Kidney Disease (Part 2) | Diabetes, Hypertension & Avoiding The Rotating Drum Kidney

    Willem J Kolff was an intern when he saw a 22 year old man die of kidney failure. He realised that the patient’s life could have been saved if his blood could have been detoxified. Willem set to work and developed the first ever dialysis machine (initially the ‘rotating drum kidney’). While dialysis is a lifesaving treatment, it is one that we hope to avoid for patients. In this episode, we discuss two topics that are the largest contributors to chronic kidney disease: Diabetes, and Hypertension. This is the story of Chronic Kidney Disease (Part 2). Our special guest: Dr Richard Phoon who is the Senior Medical Advisor at Westmead Hospital and has worked full-time as a Nephrologist at Westmead and Blacktown Hospitals since 2007.

    Episode 89: Chronic Kidney Disease (Part 1) | The Bright Side Of Urine

    One in 10 Australians over the age of 18 years are living with signs of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with the number of patients needing treatment for kidney failure has doubled in the last 20 years. Early detection and intervention can slow the progression of CKD by up to 15 years or longer. Our understanding of kidney disease can be traced back to Dr Richard Bright, one of the founding fathers of nephrology. He noted that heating a patient’s urine with kidney disease could form a precipitate – nowadays we’d call this albuminuria (albumin in the urine) and it is a marker of kidney damage. Today, there are a range of conditions that can reduce kidney function, cause kidney damage, and can cause significant morbidity and early mortality in patients. By screening patients, we can reduce the progression of CKD and significantly affect the health of patients in the long term. This is the story of Chronic Kidney Disease (Part 1). Our special guests: Maddie Williams who is a Registered Nurse with Kidney Health Australia who was diagnosed with kidney disease at the age of 17 requiring haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and received a renal transplant. Dr Richard Phoon who is the Senior Medical Advisor at Westmead Hospital and has worked full-time as a Nephrologist at Westmead and Blacktown Hospitals since 2007.

    Episode 88: Intimate Partner Violence | Permission To Ask And Listen

    The statistics of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Domestic Violence prevalence are staggering. 1 in 6 adult women and 1 in 16 adult men have experience physical or sexual abuse at the hands of their partner. Approximately 2.5 million Australians (13%) experienced abuse during their childhood. However, IPV is a topic that is rarely discussed. As healthcare professionals, we need to change this. A recent study by our guests on this episode, Timelines of psychological, physical and sexual intimate partner violence among a nationally representative sample of Australian women, studied the timeline of psychological, physical, and sexual intimate partner violence. They highlighted that early warning signs of an abusive partner include isolation, controlling behaviour, and intense jealously. We discuss these important findings and other take home messages of this study and how we can apply it to everyday practice. This is the story about intimate partner violence. Our special guests: Dr Elizabeth McLindon is a Research Fellow in the Department of General Practice and works in the Sexual Abuse and Family Violence (SAFE) program. Elizabeth is the Deputy Director of the Centre for Family Violence Prevention at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne. Professor Kelsey Hegarty is an academic general practitioner who holds the joint Chair in Family Violence Prevention at the University of Melbourne and the Royal Women’s Hospital. She also leads the Safer Families Centre. Listen: This Medical Life podcast is available on all podcasting services and Spotify. Help support us on our donation page.

    Episode 87: Oral Cancer | Smokes For Nothin’ And HPV For Free

    Oral cancer was a fatal disease even into the twentieth century. Patients required extensive surgery and often had a painful recovery or went into palliative care but the result was the same. Modern medicine has thankfully provided much to our understanding, the treatment and management of patients with oral cancer. In recent times, patients have been able to be stratified into two general but distinct categories: the first are older with a strong history of heavy smoking and/or alcohol use; the second are younger and have a history of multiple sexual partners. The distinction is important as the treatment and management are different between the two groups with the second group having a much better prognosis. This is the story of oral cancer. Our special guests: Dr Rebecca Morrow is an anatomical pathologist and deputy head of department at the Royal Adelaide Hospital with SA Pathology. Dr Rowan Valentine is a paediatric and adult Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon. Listen: This Medical Life podcast is available on all podcasting services and Spotify. Help support us on our donation page.

    Episode 86: Vitamin B12 | Solving The Pernicious Anaemia Mystery

    The first medical description of pernicious anaemia is from 1821. It is written by Dr James Combe and describes a previously well 47 year old corn-merchant who presented with pallor, weakness, and neurological symptoms. It would take over a hundred years before we would know how to treat this condition, and another decade after that to understand why the treatment worked. Vitamin B12 is an essential component of our diet and only found in animal products. Deficiency in vitamin B12 can present with fatigue, anaemia (macrocytic), and neurological symptoms. The most at risk from a dietary perspective are vegetarians, vegans, and the elderly. Patients may also have an autoimmune condition (pernicious anaemia) that interferes with gastric parietal cells and intrinsic factor; the way our body can absorb vitamin B12 from our diet. This is the story of vitamin B12. Our special guest: Our special guest is Professor Ken Sikaris who is a chemical pathologist and Director of Chemical Pathology at Dorevitch Pathology.
