S6 E13: "When the IT Went Down" Song; Anti-Emetics for Kids Gastro? Methotrexate for Knee OA?

August 01, 2025 • NB Medical Education • Season 6 • Episode 13

Welcome to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. I hope you are all enjoying the summer and that your IT treats you well. In this podcast, we have two new studies to think about.

First, should children with gastroenteritis be given anti-emetics? Would ondansetron help and improve outcomes?

Second, can methotrexate help knee osteoarthritis? It would be great if this would work, but hope only gets us so far. What does the research show?
