    S2E17 - Early egg introduction prevents infant allergy

    Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive! Current ASCIA guidelines recommend introducing solids—including cooked egg—to all infants between 4–6 months to achieve a 40% relative risk reduction in allergy development. This episode explores the NHMRC Level II evidence that consumption, not avoidance, is key. We cover the OSCE-essential prerequisites: the infant must be ≥ 4 months and already tolerating other solids like cereals or fruits. Learn the step-by-step introduction—starting with a tiny taste and having oral antihistamines ready. Perfect for IMGs wanting to avoid critical errors with high-risk atopic infants. #AMCClinicalExam #EggAllergyPrevention #EarlyIntroductionofSolids #ASCIAGuidelines #OSCEPaediatrics #IMGAustralia #FoodAllergyRiskManagement If this AMC-related topic interests you, visit the full webpage for extended notes and additional exam-oriented resources: https://apwix.com/100474

    S2E16 - Apple Juice for Children's Dehydration

Learn the exact 50:50 dilution mix and 5mL dosing protocol to impress examiners. Crucially, we cover critical safety errors: excluding children with moderate-to-severe dehydration (capillary refill >2s), bloody diarrhea, or acute abdomen.... #AMCClinicalExam #PediatricGastroenteritis #DiluteAppleJuiceRehydration #MildDehydration #OSCE #IMGAustralia #ORS If this AMC-related topic interests you, visit the full webpage for extended notes and additional exam-oriented resources: https://apwix.com/100462

    Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive! Venous leg ulcer (VLU) is the most common skin ulcer, often presenting with varicose veins and brown haemosiderin staining. This episode explores the NHMRC Level 1 evidence supporting multicomponent compression systems, which significantly improve healing compared to single-component versions. We highlight the critical safety check: you must exclude peripheral artery disease before applying therapy to avoid serious complications. Discover why walking is essential for the "calf muscle pump" and how to address the 60-70% non-compliance rate through better patient education and therapeutic relationships. #AMCClinicalExam #VenousLegUlcers #ABPIIndex #CompressionTherapy #MulticomponentBandages #OSCEManagement #ChronicVenousInsufficiency #IMGAustralia #HaemosiderinStaining If this AMC-related topic interests you, visit the full webpage for extended notes and additional exam-oriented resources: https://apwix.com/100419
