JellyBeans for GDM Screen? Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

It’s true, patients do NOT enjoy the 50 gram oral glucola test for gestational diabetes screening. And, the 100 gram test is even worse! Online sources claim that consuming a certain number of jellybeans is comparable to the standard screening/diagnostic test. Is that valid information? In this session we will review this jellybean theory and review what the data actually says.

Molnupiravir is now on the scene as a potential new therapy for mild to moderate COVID-19. As an oral administered medication, this could revolutionize care of the condition.

Testosterone Use in Women Oct 09, 2021

Show notes

There continues to be a lot of faulty assumptions regarding testosterone therapy in women. In 2014 the Endocrine Society joined an international panel and provided an evidence-based review of testosterone use in women. This was reaffirmed in 2017 and 2019. Most recently, in October 2021, the ACOG released a “clinical commentary” ahead of print, “Testosterone Therapy in Women”. In the session, we will review this soon to be released current commentary and provide key clinical pearls regarding the use of testosterone replacement in women.

Edging “Le Petite Mort”: An Orgasmic Experience Oct 07, 2021

Show notes

Sexual climax has been defined not only as a bodily/physiological reaction but as a mental process as well. First termed “the little death” historically, the phrase focused on the altered state of awareness following sexual release. But there’s many reasons/benefits why sexual release may be voluntarily delayed (by mutual agreement) during intimacy. In the session, we will approach the once taboo subject which has now gone mainstream. So let’s talk about “the edging experience” and what medical evidence there is to support it.
