In this episode, we challenge the reliability of traditional tests like Homan's sign and cervical motion tenderness. Learn how understanding and applying likelihood ratios can vastly improve diagnostic accuracy, and why combining multiple findings is more reliable than putting faith in isolated tests.
Then we discuss a new JAMA study linking advanced endometriosis with a heightened risk of ovarian cancer. The study brings to light the complexities and gaps in our knowledge, underscoring the importance of personalized patient discussions regarding risks and treatment options.
Next, we discuss a new study about how surgical residents are treated during residency. From inadequate parental leave to cultural pressures, we highlight the urgent need for systematic changes to foster a supportive and equitable environment.
Then expose the deceptive practices in the umbilical cord blood banking industry, revealing the ethical issues and questioning the touted benefits.
Finally, we answer listener questions about use of sterile gloves for cervical exams and trials of labor after two cesareans.
