  • In this episode I cover HIV.

    If you want to follow along with written notes on HIV go to https://zerotofinals.com/medicine/infectiousdisease/hiv/ or the infectious diseases section in the Zero to Finals medicine book.

    This episode covers the definitions, transmission, associated illnesses, screening, testing, monitoring and treating HIV. We also discuss reproductive health and post exposure prophylaxis.

    The audio in the episode was expertly edited by Harry Watchman.

  • This episode covers whooping cough.

    Written notes can be found at https://zerotofinals.com/paediatrics/respiratory/whoopingcough/ or in the respiratory section in the Zero to Finals paediatrics.

    The audio in the episode was expertly edited by Harry Watchman.

  • Whooping cough, caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, is an extremely dangerous and potentially fatal disease for infants. We rarely see this disease anymore because everyone is routinely vaccinated against it with the DPT childhood vaccine. But there has lately been a resurgence in whooping cough cases, caused primarily by a reformulation of the vaccine to make it safer, which unfortunately also made it less protective against this disease. Dr. Rajendar Deora is an Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Wake Forest University. Dr. Deora’s research involves improving the whooping cough vaccine. Dr. Deora is studying how to improve this vaccine back to pre-reformulation levels of protection, without reducing its safety. Dr. Deora discusses vaccines, whooping cough, and his scientific career choice. Dr. Deora reminds everyone that “Vaccines Work!”

    Discussants (in alphabetical order):

    Dr. Neal Guentzel (Professor and Parliamentarian of STCEID, UTSA)

    Dr. Karl Klose (Professor and Director of STCEID, UTSA) Dr. Janakiram Seshu (Associate professor, STCEID, UTSA)

  • This episode covers mumps.

  • I recently had the privilege of sitting down with three cardiology fellows who also happen to have their own podcast ‘The cardio nerds’. The next three episodes will be a three part series on heart failure.

    This is the perfect topic to bring in the experts! They had so many pearls to share which is why this will be divided into three parts. Today, we’ll be focusing on defining heart failure, the different types and classifications, and etiologies of heart failure.
