Our two minute talks last week were based on the investigation of abnormal LFTs but we got sidetracked into the interpretation of hepatitis B serology. This was I hope a useful time both for the specifics of understanding HepB serology and the general point of structuring your knowledge in a way which is useful for practical use. When learning a new topic, or revising an old one remember that the way it is structured in the textbook may need translating to make it easier to remember or apply.
Test yourself…which tests are useful for:
Assessing response to Hep B immunisation?
Checking for previous contact with Hep B?
Acute hepB?
Chronic Hep B?
Next is Opportunistic infection (in HIV)
Pneumocystis SYC
Cytomegalovierus AA
Atypical Mycobacteria AA
Kaposi’s MR
Two minutes please. Keep it precise and concise, quote your sources and educate your colleagues.
Last week’s discussion was about waste and how we might address the problem. This week we will discuss Measuring quality of life. Is there such a thing as a life not worth living? B. Farsides, RJ Dunlop BMJ 2001;322:1481-1483.
Next week the Tuesday discussion will be replaced with (by?) a quiz.
