Creating value in musculoskeletal care with Dr Imran Sajid. Episode #419 Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

Dr Imran Sajid is a frontline clinician, health policy maker, educator and researcher with a keen interest in behavioural economics. This podcast takes a 30,000-foot view of some of our daily clinical approaches—and dives down into specific cases to make important points. How do you get the right care to the right patient at the right time. Is there overdiagnosis and overtreatment in our field—the field of musculoskeletal care? Fee-for-service underpins a great deal of treatment in MSK medicine. Are our diagnoses (such as ‘locked knee’) really as solid as we may have been taught in the early 2000s? Do very common surgical procedures such as knee and shoulder arthroscopy add value for the patient? Dr Sajid gives 3 tips to improve the value of care for patients: 1) We need system change so the right care is provided at the right place. This generally requires a shift towards shared care in the community setting. 2) There needs to be a culture change away from the structural model—most health care burden does not derive from structures that can be fixed simply with a pill or a screw. 3) Clinicians need to be healthy skeptics about what works and what doesn’t. Humility helps! Don’t fall prey to those powerful cognitive biases. Just

because we know about them doesn’t make them go away. Think of your favourite optical illusion! It’s hard to ‘see’ the truth!

Cardiac abnormalities and participating in sport-is is safe? Dr. Rachel Lampert. Episode #418 Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Rachel Lampert, MD joins host Devin McFadden, MD on AMSSM’s Sports Medcast (T: @TheAMSSM) to discuss athletic participation in athletes with cardioverter-defibrilators for known cardiac abnormalities. In this 20 minute conversation Dr. Lampert addresses the following topics: - What are the common causes of sudden cardiac death in athletes? - What is the data to support disqualifying patients with known cardiac disease (cardiomyopathies and channelopathies) from sports, and could they potentially participate safely?

- How will future studies impact the way we practice further?

Should I clear this athlete … with a suspected cardiac abnormality? Prof Sanjay Sharma. Episode #417 Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

Has the principle of shared decision making in athletes with known cardiac abnormalities placed our athletes, teams, and medical system at risk? Are there situations where accepted medical standards and risk management trump patient autonomy? What further steps can we take to generate the data needed to ensure that the athletes we clear in the future are safe to participate? On this episode of the AMSSM Sports Medcast (T: @TheAMSSM) host Dr. Devin McFadden, MD is joined by internationally recognized expert Dr. Sanjay Sharma, MD to discuss the risks and benefits encountered while making clearance decisions in athletes with known cardiac abnormalities.

Prof Mutrie Pt 2. Football Fans Training. Sitting. Mental health. Outrunning bad food. Episode #416 Feb 07, 2020

Show notes

Nanette Mutrie (@NanetteMutrie) has been Chair of Physical Activity for Health at the University of Edinburgh since July 2012. She directs the Physical Activity for Health Research Centre (PAHRC) in the Institute for Sport, Physical Education and Health Sciences. Nanette is a Chartered Psychologist and a Fellow of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences. She took a break from writing the 4th edition of ‘Psychology of Physical Activity” to speak with BJSM’s outgoing Editor-in-Chief Karim Khan (@BJSM_BMJ) In podcast 2 of 2 she discusses: The revolutionary physical activity and weight control intervention for men—Football Fans in Training. http://ow.ly/zOIv50yfYd0. She revisits the topic of too much sitting—which is different to physical inactivity. Prof Mutrie argues that we promote the short-term benefits of walking to the public. “You will get a boost in your mood and you will sleep better by just having a 10-minute walk.” That’s how Coke promotes their product—it’s not about promising long-term health benefits. What do you think about that? And she discusses ‘outrunning a bad diet’, weekend warriors and The Daily Mile.

The chat swings from practical tips about which technology to consider to capture walking, to tips for physios in the clinic and to Prof Mutrie explaining that walking is one factor that can contribute to addressing the Climate Crisis.
