In this podcast recorded in early May, James Cave (Editor-in-Chief) and David Phizackerley (Deputy Editor) talk about the June 2024 issue of DTB. They discuss the editorial that highlights changes to the use of gonadal and fetal shielding for diagnostic imaging (see link). They review the results of a study that assessed the benefit of antibiotics for treating acute sinusitis in children aged 2-11 years. The main article considers the evidence for ritlecitinib, a Janus kinase enzyme inhibitor that is licensed for the treatment of severe alopecia areata in adults and adolescents aged ≥12 years. They begin the podcast by discussing newspaper headlines generated by an international conference on obesity.
