Changing Practice- February Roundup

Thyroid function tests (TFTs) must always be evaluated in the context of the patient's clinical status: hypothyroid, euthyroid, or hyperthyroid. TH (thyroxine, T4; triiodothyronine, T3) levels are typically consistent in any given person and reflect the'set-point' of the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis in that person. Thyroid status changes are frequently accompanied by variations in TH and TSH levels (eg raised T4 and T3 with suppressed TSH in thyrotoxicosis; low T4 and T3 with elevated TSH in hypothyroidism). Let's look at how to interpret TFTs and their clinical relevance. Join us live with Dr. Rohit Jacob.

The basic cornerstone of controlling Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is good glycemic control, and hence it is critical to employ a patient-centered approach to guide the selection of pharmacological medications. Although oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) remain the mainstay in the treatment of T2DM, insulin therapy becomes inevitable in a substantial number of patients as the disease progresses. Join us LIVE on Medflix as we discuss the techniques and efficacy of combined insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) in regulating glycemic levels with Dr. Rohit Jacob, Consultant Physician & Intensivist at Craft Hospital & AR Medical Center, Cochin.

What happens when the sodium in the bloodstream reaches low levels? As a physician, how does one combat this condition? What are the warning signs? A wide-ranging variety of medical diseases, drugs, and disease states can lead to Hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is one of the most prevalent electrolyte abnormalities in critically ill patients, with about 30% of ICU admissions reporting it. With numerous treatment pathways at their disposal, residents and physicians can often get overwhelmed in treating the condition. Join the clinical expert Dr. Rohit Jacob live on Medflix as he deciphers this complicated topic with his real-world experiences!

Hyponatremia: A Practical Approach

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death throughout the world. 85% of these deaths were caused by a heart attack or a stroke. According to the findings of the Global Burden of Disease study, India has an age-standardized CVD death rate of 272 per 100,000 population, which is significantly higher than the global average of 235. CVDs strike Indians a decade earlier than the rest of the world. Let us hear more on the management of Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease from Dr. Vivek Jawali, a well-known cardiologist from Bangalore.

Diabetes and hypertension, when present together, are known to have a multiplicative influence on negative clinical outcomes in both microvascular and macrovascular illness. Appropriate hypertension management in diabetic individuals is crucial for preventing end-organ damage and reducing the substantial socioeconomic burden imposed by these diseases. Join us to get some insights into the management of hypertension in diabetics with Dr. Rohit Jacob.
