CCFP 105 Topics: Trauma - Part I

3/11/2024
Authors: Veronica Oczkowski (MS4) and Andrea Brabant (rFM PGY-2) Content Expert and Reviewer: Dr. Matt Strickland According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than nine people die every minute from injuries or violence. A total of 5.8 million people of all ages and economic groups die every year from unintentional injuries and violence. The burden of injury accounts for 18% of the world’s total diseases. Motor vehicle crashes alone cause more than 1 million deaths annually and an estimated 20 million to 50 million significant injuries; they are the leading cause of death due to injury worldwide. Traumatic presentations are unfortunately quite common, so it’s important we get comfortable with a strong approach. Our goal today is in no way to complete an exhaustive review. That being said, we did our best to prepare a brief overview that allows us to cover the CCFP objectives. Get ready. This is a pretty robust topic to cover, so buckle up!!

CCFP 105 Topics: Obesity

12/17/2023
Obesity Canada published a guideline in 2020 that we will be referring to a lot in this episode. It defines obesity as a chronic, progressive and relapsing disease characterized by the presence of adiposity that impairs health and social well-being. So today you’ll learn what you need to know for the exam, but also some practical considerations for real life visits that take into account the pressures of diet culture, and how we as physicians can provide evidence based advice that doesn’t isolate and judge our patients. And because we know language matters, you’ll hear us use terms like “large bodies”, instead of saying someone is fat. There are advocates who have reclaimed the term fat, but today we’ll stick with medical jargon and terms aimed to avoid stigma.

11/27/2023
Syncope = a brief loss of consciousness and postural tone that resolves spontaneously with a return to baseline neurological function within seconds or a few minutes. Presyncope = near LOC. Should be worked up the same as we know it portends a similar risk of downstream badness as syncope. presyncope is “I almost lost consciousness and then recovered” → more of acute thing. The final common pathway of syncope is the same regardless of the underlying cause. In general, 10 seconds of interrupted blood flow to the brain.

CCFP 105 Topics: Meningitis

4/23/2023
Written By: Andrea Brabant – FM PGY1 - NWT Expert Review By: Dr Katherine Breen, ER Physician NWT Meningitis is defined as inflammation of the meninges, the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. It is most commonly due to infection, either bacterial or viral. This can happen through hematogenous spread, when bacteria invade the bloodstream (often from the upper airway), and gradually make their way to the subarachnoid space. However, it can also happen through direct contiguous spread. This is when organisms gain entry into the cerebrospinal fluid from adjacent infections (think sinusitis, brain abscess, otitis media) or directly through penetrating traumatic injury, congenital defects, or during neurosurgical procedures.

CCFP 105 Topics: Personality Disorders

4/9/2023
Why should a family physician learn about personality disorders? Well, to start, we are the first point of contact with the patients who have them, and often the first to recognize they have a personality disorder. While psychiatrists may have a role in their treatment, most patients do not require a referral, making family doctors the primary provider of care. Even if you do not plan on managing the personality disorder, you WILL have patients with personality disorders and this podcast will help you effectively manage challenging situations. Personality disorders make up over 10% of the general population, and 24% of the population in primary care. They may or may not seek treatment for aspects pertaining to their personality disorder, but they sure as well will have other health concerns.
