Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A practical hematology refresher that makes iron deficiency easier to explain.
This episode frames iron deficiency anemia in a way that should work well in clinic: clear, patient-facing, and grounded in the practical questions clinicians hear most often.
A clear look at buprenorphine precipitated withdrawal, receptor-level mechanics, and why fentanyl remains part of the debate.
This episode gives a clear, practical account of buprenorphine precipitated withdrawal. It explains how someone who starts again on their own can feel suddenly and intensely ill when buprenorphine knocks another opioid off the mu-opioid receptor.
A brisk, practical endocrine walkthrough on pituitary incidentalomas.
Pituitary incidentalomas are treated as a real clinical problem rather than a curiosity, and the discussion turns that uncertainty into a clear practical map.
A practical, lab-first look at testosterone deficiency that favors clarity over hype.
The discussion treats testosterone deficiency as a clinical problem to sort through, not a slogan to repeat. It moves from gym banter into careful lab interpretation, with attention to total testosterone, free testosterone, and SHBG.
A pragmatic hypertension refresher that keeps social history front and center.
The episode treats hypertension as more than a set of numbers and spends useful time on the history that can shape management. It ties elevated blood pressure to cardiovascular disease, stroke, and dementia, while keeping social factors like alcohol and cocaine in view.
A practical heart failure refresher that favors bedside judgment over slogans.
This episode treats heart failure less like a slogan and more like a bedside judgment call: decongest the patient, think through afterload, and decide where newer drugs fit when blood pressure is already part of the problem.
A practical COPD refresher that keeps CT findings in their proper lane.
Curbsiders' 500th episode starts a little loose, then settles into a useful COPD discussion. The best stretch keeps emphysema on CT in the right frame: low-dose CT is treated as lung cancer screening, not COPD screening, and the conversation comes back to history, physical exam,…
A clear framework for how IBD treatment choices get made.
This episode gives IBD treatment a clear, useful overview. It moves through biologics, small molecules, and JAK inhibitors without losing sight of the details that shape a real choice: disease activity, severity, course, location, phenotype, extraintestinal disease,…
Peter Attia evaluates longevity science, from CETP inhibitors to protein debates, through evidence.
Morning medical evidence, compressed for practice.
Medical research, translated through patient experience.
