The Pathophysiology of ADHD overlap with other psychiatric pathologies and ensuring holistic care
Sunday, March 1, 2026 • Duration 40:42
This episode, featuring Dr. Julie Wehbe based on material by Professor Richard Newton, explores the pathophysiology of ADHD and its significant overlap with other psychiatric pathologies, particularly eating disorders.
The etiology of ADHD is described through a "gene-environment interaction" model. While genetics play a massive role—with heritability estimated at 70-80%—environmental factors such as maternal stress, toxin exposure, and childhood instability are crucial contributors. The presentation emphasizes that ADHD rarely appears in isolation, frequently co-occurring with conditions like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), mood disorders, substance use, and obesity.
A core theme is the neurobiological connection between ADHD and "impulsivity-based" disorders. The speaker outlines a shared neural circuit within the limbic system involving dopamine and noradrenaline pathways, which regulates reward and impulse control. This shared circuitry explains why ADHD often presents alongside addictions and eating disorders, such as bulimia and binge eating disorder. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive functions like planning and decision-making, is central to these deficits.
Dr. Wehbe highlights "diagnostic fluidity," noting that patients often transition between different manifestations of impulsivity over time—for example, shifting from substance use to food addiction, or fluctuating between different eating disorder diagnoses. Consequently, the presentation advocates for an "integrated transdiagnostic model" of care. This holistic approach moves away from treating isolated diagnoses and instead addresses the underlying neurobiological and behavioral overlaps. Treatment requires a combination of medication, psychological support, and lifestyle interventions focusing on sleep and exercise. The prognosis is described as positive; with integrated treatment, remission rates for both ADHD and comorbid eating disorders are high.

Diabetes and Frailty - Individualizing Diabetes Care for Older Adults
Sunday, February 15, 2026 • Duration 01:15:23
Diabetes and Frailty Professor Richard Lindley, Anandhi Murugesan and Tim Bailey-Coles
This session explores the complexity of managing diabetes in older adults, a demographic where medical success has led to "life extension" with disability rather than a compression of morbidity. Professor Richard Lindley argues that because frailty dominates modern medicine, clinicians must measure it, recommending the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) as a quick, essential tool for the electronic medical record. He presents retrospective analyses of major trials, revealing that while intensive blood pressure and glucose lowering can be harmful or attenuated in the frail (as seen in the ADVANCE trial), SGLT2 inhibitors appear to be equally effective and safe, offering significant absolute benefits for this vulnerable group.
Anandhi Murugesan emphasizes the necessity of individualized glycemic targets. While healthy older adults may aim for an HbA1c of 7.0–7.5%, targets for the frail should be relaxed (up to 8.5% or <50% Time in Range) to prioritize the avoidance of hypoglycemia. She notes that hypoglycemia often presents atypically in the elderly as confusion or delirium rather than classic symptoms. The session also covers medication adjustments, such as the potential need to stop long-acting insulin in patients with declining renal function to prevent accumulation and overnight hypos.
Finally, Exercise Physiologist Tim Bailey-Coles addresses fall prevention, noting that one-third of community-dwelling people over 65 fall annually. He highlights grip strength as a powerful marker of frailty that correlates better with outcomes than chronological age. The discussion outlines a proactive approach to testing balance (visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive) and promotes the use of Medicare items for Type 2 Diabetes Group Allied Health Services (1 assessment and 8 group sessions) to support strength and balance training.

Interstitial lung disease and pneumonia - Navigating HRCT Patterns, Mixed Phenotypes, and "Unclassifiable" ILD
Monday, January 26, 2026 • Duration 29:21
This podcast by Associate Professor Yet Khor offers an update on interstitial pneumonia (IP) and interstitial lung disease (ILD), focusing on advancements in classification and diagnosis over the past two decades. Dr. Khor discusses the significance of recognizing both idiopathic and secondary causes, highlights key developments, such as the identification of idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and advocates for improved diagnostic protocols, particularly concerning antigen-negative fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
In a significant part of her discussion, Dr. Khor introduces the concept of disease behavior classification, which provides insights into patient prognosis and treatment goals. The lecture emphasizes the recognition of mixed presentations in patients, where they may exhibit features of multiple patterns rather than fitting neatly into a single classification. This highlights the complication of diagnosing ILD.
The podcast transitions into an exploration of recent findings related to the complications of diagnosing antigen-negative fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), where a subset of patients exhibit progressive lung function decline despite the absence of identifiable antigens. Dr. Khor raises important considerations regarding the implications of these cases and the clinical challenges they pose, thus advocating for a re-evaluation of current diagnostic protocols and potential reclassification to spur further investigation in this area.

The decision-making process regarding prosthesis options and second opinions in surgical orthopedics Panel Discussion Dr Antony Kodsi, Prof Sam Adie, Dr Razvan Stoita
Sunday, January 25, 2026 • Duration 28:59
Panel Discussion Dr Antony Kodsi, Prof Sam Adie, Dr Razvan Stoita
The podcast opens with a discussion around the decision-making process regarding prosthesis options in surgical orthopedics. One participant clarifies that while the fund doesn't dictate the type of implants used by surgeons, it does influence rehabilitation protocols, emphasizing a model where patients are encouraged to return home shortly after surgery. The conversation highlights that surgeons retain the autonomy to select implants based on individual patient needs, with one panelist explaining their personal disinterest in managed care because it challenges the equitable provision of patient care.
As the discussion transitions, a specific case is presented, who is described as a patient suffering from chronic pain post-repeated hip replacements. The experts address the complexities associated with distinguishing pain sources in patients who have undergone multiple revisions. They stress the importance of understanding multifactorial pain—where surgery is not necessarily a panacea for all patient issues. The panel agrees on the necessity for thorough diagnostic assessments and emphasizes the importance of patient involvement in their recovery. Treatment strategies discussed include targeted medication regimens, potential use of procedures like fascia iliaca blocks, and considering non-surgical contributions to pain, such as sensitization or issues related to surrounding joints.
The conversation evolves to include specific inquiries about lidocaine use in post-operative settings, where it is noted that its utility is often limited to intraoperative scenarios, particularly involving nerve structures. Michael, another participant, stresses the need for accurate diagnosis before considering further surgical interventions for painful joint replacements, reiterating that understanding the root cause of pain is critical.
Questions arise about the appropriateness of second opinions. The surgeons generally favor patients returning to their original surgeon unless there's a clear mechanical issue needing reevaluation. They advocate for continued patient support, focusing on reassurance and recovery guidance, indicating that unnecessary second opinions could lead to further anxiety rather than providing solutions.

Delivering a net-zero health system
Monday, January 12, 2026 • Duration 27:21
Delivering a net-zero health system with Professor Nick Watts, Director, Centre for Sustainable Medicine, University of Singapore.
In this podcast from the Alfred Emergency Academic Centre's Collaboration & Leadership for Sustainable Healthcare Symposium, Professor Nick Watts, the Director of the Center for Sustainable Medicine at the National University of Singapore, presents an insightful and impassioned discussion on the intersection of healthcare and climate change. With a rich background as the first Chief Sustainability Officer for the NHS and as co-founder of multiple health alliances focused on climate, Watts draws on his extensive experience to explore the evolution of the healthcare sector's engagement with environmental sustainability.
Watts begins by setting the stage for a critical moment regarding climate policy in the UK, highlighting a recent announcement by the Conservative Party that threatens to repeal the UK Climate Change Act if reelected. This raises fundamental questions about political engagement and the continuing commitment to climate action across party lines, a historical norm that seems to be eroding. He reflects on how political leaders from various parties have previously championed climate action and illustrates the potential ramifications of such a shift in the political landscape, emphasizing the urgency for healthcare professionals to respond to these developments.
Tracing the evolution of climate and health discourse back to the late 1980s and early 1990s, Watts notes the initial phase characterized by advocacy from passionate clinicians and organizations dedicated to raising awareness. He recalls significant milestones, such as the establishment of health chapters within global climate change frameworks and the emergence of new institutions focused on environmental health. Notably, he credits the shift towards data-driven dialogues that provided empirical evidence of the health impacts of climate change, facilitating broader acceptance and integration of these issues into mainstream medical practice.
As the narrative progresses, Watts outlines a critical transition in the healthcare sector, particularly from advocacy to practical delivery of sustainable practices, highlighting the role of healthcare systems in reducing carbon emissions. He paints a vivid picture of a transformation where hospitals and healthcare providers across the globe are adopting net-zero commitments, emphasizing the healthcare sector's economic weight and influence. The lecture transitions into celebrating the collaborative efforts that have emerged, as health systems now share a common goal and are recognized as capable agents of change toward climate action.
Chronic post surgical pain management
Monday, January 5, 2026 • Duration 27:58
In this podcast, Dr. Kodsi, an adult medicine physician with expertise in palliative and pain medicine, addresses the challenging topic of chronic post-surgical pain management. He begins with an illustrative case of a 62-year-old retired teacher named Margaret who, despite a successful mastectomy and a cancer-free diagnosis, continues to experience significant pain affecting her quality of life. Dr. Kodsi emphasizes that chronic post-surgical pain is a prevalent issue, impacting approximately half of patients undergoing high-risk procedures, such as mastectomies. He highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing these pain issues as they often manifest in a general practice setting rather than in surgical or hospital environments.
Dr. Kodsi sheds light on his journey as a pain specialist, underlining the crucial role that general practitioners play in managing chronic pain. He insists on early collaboration between general practitioners, anesthetists, and pain specialists to prevent pain from becoming a long-term burden. Recognizing that the road to recovery can be disrupted by chronic pain, he introduces various interventions and strategies aimed at reducing the incidence of chronic pain in surgical patients.
A key focus of the lecture is the discussion of the factors that contribute to chronic post-surgical pain. Dr. Kodsi explains biological and psychological factors, emphasizing the role of demographic variables such as age and pre-existing psychological issues, including catastrophic beliefs about pain. Preoperative opioid use also emerges as a significant negative factor, complicating recovery and raising the risk of chronic pain outcomes. He encourages healthcare professionals to implement multimodal pain management strategies, focusing on preemptive analgesia to potentially mitigate hypersensitivity and its consequences.
As the lecture progresses, Dr. Kodsi reviews historical studies, including seminal surveys identifying the high prevalence of phantom limb pain and chronic pain following surgical interventions. He discusses the evolution of understanding chronic post-surgical pain and the classification criteria established over the years, highlighting the need for further understanding of pain mechanisms such as central sensitization and neuroplastic changes.
Delving into practical interventions, Dr. Kodsi outlines the objectives and mechanisms of various pain management strategies, including the use of diagnostic nerve blocks and the role of regional anesthesia. He emphasizes the concept of preventive analgesia, advocating for the administration of analgesics before surgical procedures to minimize the likelihood of developing chronic pain. The discussion includes a review of different analgesic agents and techniques, such as the use of gabapentinoids and corticosteroids, while addressing their respective risks and benefits during the preoperative and postoperative periods.

• Negative Screening: Excluding harmful sectors like fossil fuels, weapons, or tobacco.
• Positive Screening: Actively seeking companies involved in renewables, waste reduction, and new technologies.
• The "ESG" Trap: Andrew warns investors to look "under the hood." Some funds claim "ESG integration" but still invest in fossil fuels by simply applying a price loading rather than excluding them entirely.
3. The Economic Inevitability of Renewables Rohan Hamden argues that we are nearing "peak carbon growth" and that the economics of coal no longer stack up. He notes that renewable energy and battery storage are becoming the cheapest options, and financial markets are naturally shifting toward sustainable finance not just for ethics, but for survival and profit.
4. The Power of Shareholder Activism James Alexander explains how Six helps retail investors combine their power. In Australia, it takes 100 shareholders to file a resolution at a company's AGM.
• Case Study: The panel discusses a campaign targeting QBE Insurance to disclose their exposure to climate risks and fossil fuel underwriting.
5. Divestment vs. Engagement The panel discusses the two main strategies:
• Divestment: Moving your money away from banks and funds that fund fossil fuels (e.g., switching banks).
• Engagement: Holding a small number of shares in "bad" companies to vote at AGMs and force them to change their behavior.

The discussion then touches on the challenges of managing postoperative opioid prescriptions. The panel acknowledges common practices whereby patients leave hospitals on opioids, leading to a concerted effort in primary care to manage tapering and long-term use. They suggest that an effective pathway would involve early screening and referrals to pain specialists when red flags are present.
Next, the complex issue of medicinal cannabis is broached. Participants outline the current lack of robust evidence supporting its use in pain management, particularly emphasizing the need for more definitive research in the orthopedic space. While acknowledging its potential, they express skepticism about its efficacy and the risks involved.
A case study of a patient with bilateral knee replacements facing postoperative pain issues brings forth a discussion on chronic pain after surgery, where the challenges of knee interventions contrast with other joint surgeries. Noting a significant percentage of unhappy knee replacement patients, the participants stress that chronic pain management requires a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating psychological support and the continuous reassessment of the surgical intervention's outcomes.
Towards the end of the interview, they discuss initiatives aimed at establishing a more structured model of care to address the needs of patients suffering from chronic postoperative pain. This highlights the necessity for collaborative efforts among surgeons, primary care physicians, and allied health professionals in creating comprehensive care plans.
The discussion concludes with a recognition of the complexities involved in pain management after orthopedic surgeries and the ongoing need for collaboration, education, and patient support to improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals experiencing chronic pain. The session effectively demonstrates the multidimensional nature of pain management in orthopedic settings and the critical role of effective communication between healthcare providers and patients.
