Mcgill University Medical Podcast Series

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Richard Menzies and Dr. Jonathan Campbell from the McGill Respiratory Epidemiology and Clinical Research Unit to discuss the results of their multi-center RCT comparing 4 months of rifampin to 9 months of isoniazid for the treatment of latent TB. Their findings are outlined in two papers, entitled "Four Months of Rifampin or Nine Months of Isoniazid for Latent TB in Adults" and "Safety and Side Effects of Rifampin Versus Isoniazid in Children" published in the August 2018 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

On this episode we're very grateful to have interviewed PhD candidate Devin Abrahami, the first author of the paper "Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and incidence of inflammatory bowel disease among patients with type 2 diabetes: population based cohort study" published in the March 2018 issue of the British Medical Journal. This paper from the group of Dr. Laurent Azoulay really made a lot of waves in the medical community, achieving an Altmetric score of 320 and still climbing and is a must-read.
