Med lit review

Welcome to the new and improved Medlitreview!  We are coming back with exciting publications and guests who help us dig deeper into the world of medical literature.  Today we will be talking about the controversial article that began the #medbikini social media movement.  Hope you enjoy our revamped style of podcasts!

For this podcast we are reviewing a human clinical trial with a novel procedure for face lifting in the bald male population.  Focusing on the reduction of scaring due to a lack of hair and general scar minimization, this paper was an exciting and new content area for us to dive into.  We hope you enjoy our discussion of the content and encourage you to read some of the work (and watch the video of the procedure!) at https://journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/Fulltext/2020/01000/Face_Lifting_in_Bald_Male_Patients__New_Trends_and.14.aspx.  

We are excited to present this paper on CRISPR technologies following the holidays.  Amid the new advances in CRISPR and gene editing techniques, this paper is a great introduction to some of the literature that is inspiring the research in labs around the world.  You can find the full paper here https://www.nature.com/articles/nature23305?_ga=2.130646991.1501829565.1537833600-1889761642.1537833600. 

This podcast will include some foundational work relevant to co-host Brian Foresi's lab work.  A monstrous paper about brain injury and mouse modeling will be reduced to this 20 minute conversation for you to grasp the main findings. Find the full paper here https://academic.oup.com/brain/article/141/2/422/4815697.   

This first lit review will be reviewing a paper that is relevant to the lab of our co-host Deepa.  The paper is titled "Leptin expression affects metabolic rate in zebrafish embryos (D. rerio)."  The full paper can be viewed at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23847542.  

Welcome to Med Lit Review!  We are students attempting to add value to your life by reviewing scholarly literature in a short audio format to educate and excite.  We hope that you listen to find out more about what we the podcast can offer you.
