My view of some of the top articles and medical headlines from 2018.

Mechanical thrombectomy, FDA and concussion. HPV vaccine and more on this episodes covering top articles from 2018.

1 of many in which I break down what I think are articles or titles of 2018 you need to know about (hint: my have been discussed on QM before)

This is a heated debate but the numbers tell the whole story. So let's dig into the numbers a little more and find the real benefit of the screening mammogram. 

It is time to tackle screening mammograms. I warn you, this is evidence, try not to listen with emotion. 

Heading to FMX and the bags are packed!! Here is a little something to hold you down till I return! If you are going to be there then tweet me @andrewbuelt

Another hard hitting Questioning Medicine packed with all sorts of articles and gems. Times are changing for those that have to sit in a chair 3 days a week and it is coming from those with hep. C

Two big articles in this episode that have already changed my practice and I tell you how. Plus, a bunch of other articles I think people should be talking about! What is the real risk for statins? Which DOAC can you use with ESRD? So many questions and so many answers!

Another episode with lots of articles- What is the UVB protection on SPF. Atrial fib screening, should we do it? What IUD makes you not gain weight? One article on Fake news on babies sleeping and a new guideline rec. on prostate screening for which I break down all the numbers.

Joe Namath is famous for guaranteeing victory in Super Bowl III. Mark your calendars for 7/24/2018 where I guarantee that two of the articles in this episode will change guidelines. This episode is full of articles and pearls that will help or change your practice...Like what is the error of the HA1C test?

So much goodness in one podcast it would be a shame to list it all here. So stop reading and just hit play already.

In this episode we cover what I think it game time ready about our beloved ACEI and then Joe and I talk about 3 articles that you need to know including the new seizure medication just approved by the FDA.

In this 'royal' episode I cover new papers on diabetes type 2, osteoporosis and A.fib. As always you can reach me on twitter @andrewbuelt or email me andrewbuelt@gmail.com

So many article so little time AND in this episode Joe stops in to talk about a study that would make ever T-Rex eat a salad

It is NBA playoff season and this podcast starts with a fast break into coronary calcium testing, Slams into John Mandrola review https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/893756 with transition into CKD + ICD. Finally, finishes with a full court press on when should be start dialysis.

If you were wondering antibiotics, yes, still have harm and should still be used with caution. Medical students are in a panic since there is a new answer to the c. diff board question and FINALLY a guideline that really is UPTODATE was released earlier this year.

Yes! I am Andrew Christopher Buelt and in this all abbreviation and intial podcast I break down some recent studies that might are of interst. First, is HPV testing alone good enough? Should you do a stress test or a Computed tomography angiography for suspected coronary artery disease. In BPH can we stop any medications or must we continue alpha-blockers and 5a-reductase inhibitors for life?

Is Zika as scary as we really think, or is it scarier?! There is a new test for concussion, right? You might wait a day for a hip surgery but don't wait two! Finally, This podcast is sweet but the new guidelines are sweeter.

Andrew covers four articles that give a POOR PHYSICIAN PROGNOSIS for the rates of PE, the push for no-antibiotic-UTI, and smoking.

Guess who is back?! Joe joins me on QM and we talk about three recent trials give our thoughts and opinions while we both sip on a Diet Dr. Pepper. It is a quick 20 minutes of us talking out what we are reading about.

Turns out when people say, 'You couldn't pay me enough money to quit smoking!' What they meant was "Can you please give me $750?" Kay-x still isn't great. I give my two cents on the hypertension guidelines and holy smokes turns out tylenol and motrin might be about all you need for a majority of muscle pain, NOT opioids. If you like the new format- reach out on twitter @andrewbuelt or andrewbuelt@...

How good are you at the DNR conversation? It is a conversation we all need to have with our patients no matter the field or specialty of medicine. However, it's a conversation we all avoid like the plague. In this podcast Andrew talks how bad we really are and how to get better. The link below is how you can get the video I reference in the podcast... https://www.mmcgmeservices.org/codestat.html

Does insurance pay? Does the patient pay? What do you think? What do most Doctors think? Is it possible for me to write this entire description in only question form?

We need to thin out the blood. Afib then to PCI and boom triple therapy. However, I suspect times are changing. It is Halloween and I do my best to play future fortune teller and predict the future in medicine. Afib and triple therapy just might be a scary part of the past, or maybe it is more of a trick than a treat!
