Project description:Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated neuropathy that typically presents with progressive or relapsing, symmetric, proximal, and distal weakness of upper and lower limbs, sensory involvement of at least two limbs, and decreased or absent deep tendon reflexes. The symptoms of CIDP can be similar to those of other neuropathies, making diagnosis difficult, which can often lead to delays in correct diagnosis and treatment. The updated European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) 2021 guideline outlines a set of diagnostic criteria that help to identify CIDP with high accuracy and provides recommendations for the treatment of CIDP. The aim of this podcast, featuring Dr. Urvi Desai (Professor of Neurology, Wake Forest School of Medicine and Atrium Health Neurosciences Institute Wake Forest Baptist, Charlotte), is to discuss how the new guideline impacts diagnosis and treatment decisions in her everyday clinical practice. Using a patient case study example, the updated guideline recommends assessing a patient for clinical, electrophysiological, and supportive criteria for CIDP, enabling a more straightforward diagnosis of either typical CIDP, a CIDP variant, or an autoimmune nodopathy. A second patient case study highlights how the new guideline no longer considers autoimmune nodopathies as CIDP, as patients with these disorders do not meet hallmark CIDP criteria. This leaves an unmet need in terms of guidance on how to treat this subset of patients. Although the new guideline has not necessarily changed treatment preference in clinical practice, the addition of subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) into the guideline now better reflects clinical practice. The guideline helps to define and categorize CIDP more simply and consistently, allowing quicker and more accurate diagnosis, leading to a positive impact on treatment response and prognosis. These real-world insights into the diagnosis and management of patients with CIDP could help guide best clinical practice and help facilitate optimization of patient outcomes.

Project description:IntroductionDemands on residents' time during training make it difficult for them to engage consistently with a primary care curriculum. In response to this, the emergency medicine and critical care fields have successfully utilized podcasting to the point where a recent study showed US emergency medicine residents ranked podcasts as the best use of their time for extracurricular education.MethodsWe produced a 30-minute podcast on urinary tract infections from a primary care perspective, based on descriptors from Entrustable Professional Activity 4, "Manage acute common illnesses in the ambulatory setting." A moderator, a primary care pediatrician, and a pediatric nephrologist used a loose script of salient points, allowing for a natural evolution of the dialogue. The podcast was distributed to residents via email, along with a 7-question survey.ResultsThe survey was completed by 50 out of 84 residents. Ninety-two percent listened to all or part of the podcast, 98% found it educational, 93% enjoyed listening, and 74% felt more confident identifying and managing patients with possible urinary tract infections after listening. Ninety-six percent felt podcasts were a good alternative method for delivering this curriculum. One comment read, "This was great! It makes the information more accessible so that I can listen while working out or driving or just laying on the couch."DiscussionBased on this success, we are producing additional podcasts and will strive to keep them under 20 minutes, provide key summary points at the end, and improve ease of access by utilizing an RSS (rich site summary) feed.

Project description:There is limited empirical evidence arguing against accepting and using podcasts for educational purposes. This may in part, explain the recent surge in the acceptance of podcasts for pedagogy, alongside the COVID-19 pandemic. Both students and lecturers have been greatly affected by this pandemic which may explain the uptake in the use of podcasts. However, few studies have explored podcast use for pedagogy and thus, there is limited empirical backing. This study investigated pedagogy and considered podcast performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating condition, cultural, social, and political beliefs factors in Nigerian universities. This research introduced cross-sectional quantitative methods, which utilised a questionnaire, gathering data from three Federal Universities in Nigeria. The formulated hypothesis was rejected using multiple regression and a total of eight hundred and twenty-nine questionnaires were gathered from Nigerian university lecturers. The data was analysed and the results showed a low-level outcome with regards to podcast acceptance for pedagogy in Nigeria Federal Universities.

Project description:IntroductionPrevious research has shown that podcasts are most frequently consumed using mobile listening devices across a wide variety of environmental, situational, and social contexts. To date, no studies have investigated how an individual's environmental context might influence their attentional engagement in podcast listening experiences. Improving understanding of the contexts in which episodes of listening take place, and how they might affect listener engagement, could be highly valuable to researchers and producers working in the fields of object-based and personalized media.MethodsAn online questionnaire on listening habits and behaviors was distributed to a sample of 264 podcast listeners. An exploratory factor analysis was run to identify factors of environmental context that influence attentional engagement in podcast listening experiences. Five aspects of podcast listening engagement were also defined and measured across the sample.ResultsThe exploratory factor analysis revealed five factors of environmental context labeled as: outdoors, indoors & at home, evenings, soundscape & at work, and exercise. The aspects of podcast listening engagement provided a comprehensive quantitative account of contemporary podcast listening experiences.DiscussionThe results presented support the hypothesis that elements of a listener's environmental context can influence their attentional engagement in podcast listening experiences. The soundscape & at work factor suggests that some listeners actively choose to consume podcasts to mask disturbing stimuli in their surrounding soundscape. Further analysis suggested that the proposed factors of environmental context were positively correlated with the measured aspects of podcast listening engagement. The results are highly pertinent to the fields of podcast studies, mobile listening experiences, and personalized media, and provide a basis for researchers seeking to explore how other forms of listening context might influence attentional engagement.

Project description:IntroductionTriage is the process of determining the priority of patients' treatments based on the severity of their conditions. The aim of the present study was to survey the effect of triage video podcasting on the knowledge and performance of pre-hospital students.MethodsSixty pre-hospital students were randomly divided into two groups of a 30-subject control group and a 30-subject intervention group. A pre-test was administered among all students. Afterwards, for the first group, triage education was offered through lectures using PowerPoint, while for the second group, audio and video podcasts tailored for this training program were employed. Right after the training as well as one month later, post-tests were run for both groups, and the results were analysed using an independent t-test and covariance.ResultsNo significant difference was observed between the effects of both types of education on knowledge and performance, either immediately, or one month after training.DiscussionWe suggest that video podcasts are ready to replace traditional teaching methods in triage.

Project description:During the last 15 years, tremendous efforts have been made in the medical treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Immune-oncological (IO) combinations are the current standard of care in the first-line setting of mRCC. Here, the current phase 3 trials CM214 (nivolumab/ipilimumab vs. sunitinib), KN426 (axitinib/pembrolizumab vs. sunitinib), Javelin-ren-101 (axitinib/avelumab vs. sunitinib), CM9ER (cabozantinib/nivolumab vs. sunitinib), and CLEAR (lenvatinib/pembrolizumab vs. sunitinib) were discussed. In the mentioned phase 3 trials, primary and secondary endpoints were discussed. Strengths and weaknesses of each trial were reflected in terms of overall survival, progression-free survival, objective remission, health quality of life, and safety. Reflecting on the data, as well as the current ESMO guidelines, we discuss choosing the appropriate medical treatment for patients' individualized treatment journey and relay the strength and weaknesses of each combination-starting with the appropriate first-line therapy.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough podcasts are increasingly being produced for medical education, their use and perceived impact in informal educational settings are understudied.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore how and why physicians and medical learners listen to The Rounds Table (TRT), a medical podcast, as well as to determine the podcast's perceived impact on learning and practice.MethodsWeb-based podcast analytics were used to collect TRT usage statistics. A total of 17 medical TRT listeners were then identified and interviewed through purposive and convenience sampling, using a semistructured guide and a thematic analysis, until theoretical sufficiency was achieved.ResultsThe following four themes related to podcast listenership were identified: (1) participants thought that TRT increased efficiency, allowing them to multitask, predominantly using mobile listening platforms; (2) participants listened to the podcast for both education and entertainment, or "edutainment"; (3) participants thought that the podcast helped them keep up to date with medical literature; and (4) participants considered TRT to have an indirect effect on learning and clinical practice by increasing overall knowledge.ConclusionsOur results highlight how a medical podcast, designed for continuing professional development, is often used informally to promote learning. These findings enhance our understanding of how and why listeners engage with a medical podcast, which may be used to inform the development and evaluation of other podcasts.
