In episode 573, James and Mike invite Jamie Falk back to the podcast to help us simplify all the evidence around using antipsychotics for difficult to treat depression. They do seem to “work”, but you really need to know the numbers around what “work” means. At the end of the podcast, you will! Show notes […]

In episode 569, James and Mike continue to go over what statistics really show – we focus on what inferential statistics can and cannot do, what a p value means and more importantly what it doesn’t mean. And yes we try to keep all this stat stuff on a realistic and practical level – easier […]

Best Science Medicine Podcast - BS without the BS

Dr. Joe Chaffin from the "Blood Bank Guy" website takes his light-hearted approach to a transfusion medicine interview show, discussing essential topics with educational leaders. You'll smile, have fun, and never EVER stop learning!

Dr. Will Flanary is an ophthalmologist and stand-up comic who moonlights as the hilarious “Dr. Glaucomflecken” on social media. The Glaucomflecken videos have earned him an enormous worldwide following, as he has gently parodied physicians of many specialties (including pathology). He and his wife Kristin (aka "Lady Glaucomflecken") join me to share their inspirational story, with NO blood bank learning whatsoever! Even so, you've gotta listen!

103: Glaucomflecken! with Will and Kristin Flanary

Continuing Education episode! Understanding reference lab techniques like adsorption, elution, and enzymes feels like learning a new language! Jan Hamilton is here with an incredible teaching interview to help you learn to speak “reference lab.” This episode is eligible for FREE CME and Continuing Certification credit for physicians and P.A.C.E. contact hours for laboratorians until June 22, 2025 through Transfusion News Continuing Education on Wiley Health Learning.

102CE: Learn to Speak "Reference Lab" with Jan Hamilton

Continuing education episode! Advances in the practice of Transfusion Medicine happen regularly, and it can be difficult for both learners and those with more experience to keep up with the latest information. Further, many learners (and more “seasoned” types!) lack experience to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the evidence in the medical literature. Dr. Rich Haspel joins me to describe how to evaluate evidence in the medical literature, and to discuss his take on low-titer group O whole blood. This episode is eligible for FREE CME and Continuing Certification credit for physicians and P.A.C.E. contact hours for laboratorians until May 4, 2025 through Transfusion News Continuing Education on Wiley Health Learning.

101CE: Look Before You Leap with Rich Haspel

CE episode! To celebrate the 100th episode of Blood Bank Guy Essentials, Dr. Chaffin invites multiple previous guests (plus one brand new one!) to share brief "Pearls of Wisdom" with you. Learners of every level are sure to find Transfusion Medicine tips and tools to help care for patients in better ways. Thanks to all who have listened to this podcast in the past 7 years! This episode is eligible for FREE CME and Continuing Certification credit for physicians and P.A.C.E. contact hours for laboratorians until March 28, 2025 through Transfusion News Continuing Education on Wiley Health Learning.

100CE: Pearls of Wisdom

Rh Immune Globulin prevents at-risk moms from making anti-D, but calculating proper dose can be challenging. In fact, numerous reports have suggested that we mess this up a lot! This episode is a teaching session with me and one of the pathology residents at Loma Linda University, Jessica Hudson. In it, I try to simplify the calculations and discuss some of the mechanics and details around the use of this amazingly effective medication.

Cirrhosis is deeply concerning due to its potential to severely damage the liver. As scar tissue gradually replaces healthy liver tissue, the organ's ability to process nutrients, detoxify the blood, and produce essential proteins decreases. Cirrhosis often develops silently, with symptoms appearing only in later stages when significant damage has occurred. Full Episode HERE

Welcome to the RVC veterinary clinical podcast. In these shows, Dominic Barfield, with the technical help of Brian Cox talks to a variety of different faculty/specialists/clinicians from the RVC about clinical relevant material to everyone in practice, if you are just about to start your veterinary ...

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (three times a charm) we are delighted to speak to Nicola Ho, Lecturer in Anaesthesia and Analgesia here at the RVC. Nicola, with her anaesthesia colleagues, sent out a questionnaire to those anaesthesia vets, nurses and technicians to find out how sleep and fatigue affected them. It is an interesting and pertinent topic when most of us have roles in which we need to work shift work and/or be on call and how that might affect us, and the patients we look after. It might not have answers though a space to start or continue the conversation to think about what you can do to make it better where you are for you and your team. We hope that you enjoy.

141 Sleep, fatigue and mental health

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (again, that is two in a row) we delighted to speak to Chris Scudder, Senior Lecturer in Internal Medicine and Co-Head of the Internal Medicine Team here at the RVC. There has been a couple of new drugs on the market one in the USA (bexagliflozin) and one in the UK (velagliflozin) both SGLT-2 inhibitors, oral hypoglycaemic agents to be used in newly diagnosed diabetic cats. We thought we’d chat to Chris about the information that is out there about these agents, how they can be used and what questions we have about their use. He recently spoke to our ECC team about euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA) and I was intrigued. We hope that you enjoy.

140 Oral hypoglycaemic drugs for diabetic cat

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (yes that is right we are back) we are delighted to speak to Lynda Rutherford, Senior Lecturer in Soft Tissue Surgery and Head of Soft Tissue Surgery here at the RVC. I thought we’d continue the theme of the last podcast on feline urethral obstruction and speak to a surgeon about this subject, really what you can do if you can’t place a urethral catheter (is there a stone that you can’t hydro-pulse, unlikely) but maybe there is a urethral tear (traumatic or iatrogenic). Lynda kindly spoke to us about BOAS previously and it is always good to catch up.  Lynda gave a talk to the hospital about on this topic and thought it would be good to share with a wider audience, we hope that you enjoy.

139 Lower Urinary Tract Surgery

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to speak to Professor Edward Cooper, Section Head of Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care at The Ohio State University. I thought we’d continue the theme of the last podcast on feline urethral obstruction and speak to an international authority on the subject, who has been trying to answer some fundamental questions about this topic. He kindly returned my email and spoke to us, despite technical issues he was incredibly patient. Prof Cooper is clearly passionate about this topic and it was great to talk, we hope that you enjoy.

138 Feline Urethral Obstruction

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio (had to dust off the microphone, apologies for that) we are delighted to have Dr Dave Beeston, one of our final year residents in Emergency and Critical Care, here at the RVC. Dave has many interests and enthusiasm for a variety of ECC topics and is no stranger to this podcast regarding his own career journey, though we thought we'd talk to him about one of his research papers, regarding the occurrence and clinical management of urethral obstruction in male cats, a vetcompass study looking at cats in primary care in the UK.

#171 High-convexity tight sulci

The locked-in syndrome is a rare clinical consequence following many types of neurologic injury. In general, the locked-in patient is fully paralyzed, with perhaps minimal function of the fingers, the eyes, or the mouth. What's more, the gross motor dysfunction is enormously disproportional to the cognitive function of the individual. The locked-in patient is conscious and completely aware of their surroundings. They can often hear, see, smell, and feel just as any other person would. But because of their profound physical disability, they have a very limited means of communicating even the simplest thoughts. "I feel hot." "My head hurts." "My cheek itches." It may surprise you that the patient's perspective of their condition is wholly different from how the healthcare provider or caregiver imagines it to be. This week on the program, Dr. Lauren Elman (Pennsylvania Medical Center ALS Multi-disiplinary Clinic) reviews this discrepancy. Dr. Elman also shares her experience  managing this inevitable consequence of ALS when all life-sustaining measures are desired. REFERENCES  Patterson JR and Grabois M.

#168 (Mis)understanding the locked-in state

On rounds, I sometimes joke that the two most important organs in the body are the right and left hemisphere. Only one of many, terrible, dad jokes my poor residents and students have to endure. But what happens when one organ fails, or you have to remove it? This week on BrainWaves, we’ll review a unique neurologic condition where such incredible hemispheric dysfunction can only be treated by surgically removing half of the brain. And OMG, a show about pediatrics! ** IF YOU’RE TAKING YOUR NEUROLOGY BOARDS THIS SUMMER, CHECK OUT THE PENN NEUROLOGY BOARD REVIEW COURSE AT https://upenn.cloud-cme.com/default.aspx?P=5&EID;=65373.
