Episode 194 - Introduction to Diverticular Disease with Dr Asiri Arachchi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Diverticular disease is both very common and largely asymptomatic. It is increasingly prevalent with age. Less than 10% of 40-year-olds have diverticulosis; however, the figure increases to 30–40% by age 60 years and 50–70% by age 80 years. It is more common in industrialised countries and associated with low fibre diets, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and smoking. NSAID use and corticosteroids are quoted to increase complication risk, such as bleeding and perforation. The natural history includes
Episode 193 - Colon Surveillance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) with Dr Ali Eqbal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) involving the colon are at an elevated risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), secondary to long-term chronic mucosal inflammation. The level of risk depends primarily on disease duration, the extent of colonic involvement, and the presence and grade of precancerous cell changes (dysplasia) present. While most IBD patients never develop CRC, the risk, compared to the general population, is significantly higher. For ulcerative col
Episode 192 - Introduction to Colon Polyps with Dr Ali Eqbal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Colon polyps develop on the inner lining of the large intestine or rectum and are medically significant, as a small percentage may subsequently develop into colon cancer. They affect roughly 15% to 40% of all adults and become increasingly frequent with age. Whilst we are now observing an increasing prevalence of polyps and colon cancer in young adults, they are still relatively uncommon before the age of 40 years. Colorectal polyps are found in about 25% of adults aged 45 years. By age 50 years
Episode 191 - Endobariatrics with Dr Matthew Peverelle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the preceding episode with Dr Peverelle, we reviewed pharmacologic approaches to obesity management. In this episode, we review an alternative approach to bariatric surgery referred to as Endobariatrics. These are endoscopic interventions sitting between lifestyle-pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery and are suited for patients with BMI’s between 30-40 kg/m2 who don’t want surgery or are not surgical candidates. The main interventions include: Intragastric balloons, which are temporary devic
Episode 190 - Pharmacological Treatments for Obesity with Dr Matthew Peverelle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Australians who are either overweight or obese are increasingly turning to pharmacological approaches coupled with dietary measures to achieve their weight loss goals before considering bariatric surgery. These therapies are typically considered for adults whose BMI’s are equal or above 30 kg/m2 or above 27 kg/m2 with associated comorbidities and include the following: Incretin based therapies including dual incretin agonists (most effective) Appetite suppressants-central acting drugs Dopaminerg
