Joining Brian and myself remotely we are delighted to have Rosie Allister, manager of the vetlife helpline. We had planned to catch up following her completing the London Marathon this year and speaking to our students, however she recorded a lecture for our students this year as we all come to terms with the new normal. We speak about how things have been going with vetlife and have there been any noticeable trends for callers with the current pandemic and lockdown. We also speak about her PhD, now that she can tell us more. Lots of great points and food for thought for our profession not only in these current times though beyond. We hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have Rosie Allistair, manager of the vetlife helpline. She has come to us following completing the London Marathon the previous day and is going to talk to our final year students about vetlife, so we thought that we’d ask her to talk about it on the pod. Rosie is also near completion of her PhD at the University of Edinburgh fooling a cohort of veterinary students enter the profession. We hope that you enjoy.

33 Angiostrongylosis redux

Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

10/10/16 • 26 min

To kick start the return of the RVC Clinical podcast we speak to Karen Humm, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care here at the RVC. Karen was last heard here when she spoke to Shailen about this disease in number 23 of the podcast, two years ago now.

As with most of the diseases we treat, prevention is far better than cure. There has been a paper published earlier in the year by groups at Bristol and Swansea University (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26830203) that shows the prevalence can change dramatically depending upon your location. What is it like in your area?

Today joining Brian and myself in the studio we have Joe Fenn one of our outstanding lecturers here in neurology and neurosurgery. We are discussing the topic of meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO). As Joe explains this has also been known as Meningitis of unknown aetiology, or etiology depending on what side of the pond you are and incorporates necrotising meningoencephalitis (NME) and granulomatous meningoencephalitis (GME). Joe speaks about clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment. Enjoy.

58 Acid base

Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

10/30/17 • 32 min

This week we talk to Dr Duana McBride, lecturer in emergency and critical care here at the RVC about Acid base. Duana has a straight forward logical approach to blood gas interpretation and the reasons of why it is important to have a look in the emergency patient.

There are many resources to help you navigate their interpretation. Here are a suggested few. The best FOAMed podcaster (in my humble opinion); Dr Scott Weingart, has 5 podcasts on acid base https://emcrit.org/?s=acid+base

The Merck manual http://www.msdmanuals.com/en-gb/professional/endocrine-and-metabolic-disorders/acid-base-regulation-and-disorders/acid-base-disorders

And how useful they can be even in GI disease. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/j.1939-1676.2005.tb02770.x/asset/j.1939-1676.2005.tb02770.x.pdf?v=1&t=j98vv871&s=43aadc6be2be16348a163d263ddbcabbb87dfbf8

90 Life after graduation

Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

11/09/18 • 42 min

In the studio and with better audio now that Brian is recording this time, we are joined a year later by a previous RVC graduate Dave Beeston. We follow up on Dave’s transition into being a professional and find out if he still cooks once a week to prepare all his meals. He continues to be involved in a variety of different things and no doubt he will have his own podcast shortly. Makes me think what have I done in the last year? Not sure that we will continue as long as Michael Apted following Dave, but we will try to get him back next year. Dave will be back writing his column in the Vet Times in the new year. We hope that you enjoy.

72 HCM in cats

Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

04/20/18 • 30 min

Today Brian and I finally manage to lure Associate Professor David Connolly into the studio (we had to bribe with cake). David is a RVC stalwart, and a member of the Cardiology team. We cover approach to diagnosis and treatment with a bit of jumping around here and there. Don't forget your stethoscope, and your ultrasound. And maybe your ECG. We hope that you enjoy.
