Pathology testing in the tired patient: a rational approach
Dr Michael Harrison discusses pathology testing in the tired patient with Dr Kathryn O'Connor. International guidelines on pathology testing in the tired patient vary and all are consensus rather than evidence based. Dr Harrison discusses the incidence of tiredness, the pick up rate of serious disease for pathology testing in the tired patient and other important reasons for decisions about testing in the general practice setting. He explains that, despite the fact that best practice eludes definition, it is possible to be rational in our approach to this problem (Source: Australian Family Physician audio)

I've been bleeding from the bowels
GP Dr Andrew Knight talks to Dr Kathryn O'Connor about his approach to assessment and management of case study "Serge" who presents saying "I've been bleeding from the bowels". Patient history is important and open questions are especially helpful in complex presentations. Serge has multiple problems including tiredness, constipation and rectal bleeding. Causes of tiredness are many and varied and basic pathology can help exclude an organic cause. Screening for a psychogenic cause is important and the BATHE framework can is a useful method. It is important to address the patient's main concern; in this case "Serge" is conc...

" The Nose Knows " -- The Discovery Files
Bloodhounds, take notice! Thanks to researchers at Purdue University, law enforcement officers and forensic pathologists may soon have a new working tool to sniff out trouble--a device they can take to the scene for instant identification. Today's mass spectrometers are much too large to take into the field, and analysis takes several hours. The portable mass spectrometer being developed fits in a backpack and analyzes unknown substances immediately. A big sniffer in a little package! (Source: The Discovery Files)

JAMA: 2006-03-08, Vol. 295, No. 10, Author in the Room Audio Interview
Interview with William Taylor, MD, author of A 71-Year-Old Woman Contemplating a Screening Colonoscopy, published in the March 8 issue of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association. Summary Points: 1. Embedded in experts’ recommendations for colorectal cancer screening are nearly impossible demands on primary care clinicians to discuss the pros and cons of various modalities for screening with each patient and to assess risk even to the detail of learning the pathology of the biopsy of relatives’ colonoscopies (e.g., adenomatous vs. hyperplastic polyps). 2. The complex set of components involved in the decis...
