• Exomphalos | Omphalocoele

  Summary: Exomphalos, or omphalocoele, is a congenital condition where a baby's abdominal organs develop outside the body through the umbilical cord, affecting about 1 in 5000 births, with higher rates in multiple pregnancies (e.g. twins, triplets). It forms between the 6th-10th week of gestation and can be classified as minor or major based on the size of the defect. The condition is sometimes associated with genetic syndromes and other anomalies, necessitating thorough prenatal screening and multidisciplinary care. Tune in to hear more about this condition and an overview of how it is managed.   Links and resources: Follow us on Instagram @yourekiddingrightdoctors Our email is [email protected] Make sure you hit SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW so you don’t miss any episodes and RATE to help other people find us!

• Genetic Imprinting | what usually happens, and how it can go wrong

  Genetic imprinting is a normal process that usually happens in a small number of genes where one copy of the gene is always “silenced” or not expressed. An imprinting “disorder” is where there’s an issue with this process - either with how the gene is silenced or the right copy is silenced but there’s a problem with the copy that gets “expressed”.   Today's episode is a doozy! This is one for all our friend's studying for their specialty exams (or keen medical students/students of other superhuman knowledge degrees!).

• Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia | an overview

  Summary:  Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a condition where abdominal contents herniate into the thoracic cavity via a defect in the diaphragm, causing underdevelopment of the lungs and altered pulmonary vascular development. Although uncommon, it can cause significant morbidity during the neonatal period, and may continue to do so in the long term. Mortality is significant across the globe – up to 40-50%. Definitive management is operative, once the baby is stabilised.   Links and resources: Follow us on Instagram @yourekiddingrightdoctors Our email is [email protected]  Make sure you hit SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW so you don’t miss any episodes and RATE to help other people find us!
