The two minute tutorials this week were themed around fungal infection. Amphotericin B (PS); New antifungals (GYD); Aspergillus (HG) *; Candida in catheters (KP); Cryptococcus (DK). The general quality of presentation was excellent this week and I was pleased to see the re-emergence of visual aids and citing of sources. Prize this week to Dr Gunn.
I found doctorfungus.org an interesting source for revision.
Next week we will stick with infectious disease but viruses this time. The assignments are related to Hepatitis B:
Treatment of chronic Hep B (DK)
Prevention/immunisation (KP)
Interpretation of serology (HG)
Clinical epidemiology (GYD)
Acute fulminant hepatitis (PS)
Be precise and concise, just two minutes. Cite your sources and let’s have visual aids.
This week’s reading had been Laments, and I would like to continue the discussion with Jerome Lowenstein’s essay “Can you teach compassion”. I presume he meant “Can one teach compassion” but, you never know, he may have meant it to be personal. It is not available on the internet but my copy will be available on the ward.
Rather a short post this week as my weekend has been spent away from internet access.

Good morning --
I'm a medical student in the U.S., and a regular listener of the podcast. Sometimes you ask for topic suggestions...I'd love to hear an episode about rheumatology for the primary care pediatrician (if that's not too far afield from adult rheumatology). The topics that would come to mind are common presentations of pediatric rheumatic disease, red flags not to miss, workup that should be done by the general pediatrician, and criteria for when to refer to a subspecialist.
Many thanks!
P.S. I've recently been listening to all the early podcasts from the archives, and observed a substantial improvement in the audio quality / production values over time -- great job on that, not to mention the content.
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy the podcast. Thanks so much for putting it together. I am a second year medical student with an interest in neurology, so I find your podcast to be quite useful and interesting. Keep up the good work!
