In this podcast, Dr. Matt and Dr. Mike provide an overview of the renal system, discussing its various components, functions, and importance. They cover topics such as the size and location of the kidneys, pH regulation, blood pressure regulation, calcium handling, kidney stone removal, filtration and reabsorption in nephrons, bladder anatomy and function, and the potential of butyrate as an anti-inflammatory agent. They also mention the renal system's historical understanding, the role of EPO in red blood cell production, and the challenges in handling toxins like urea and creatinine. Additionally, they briefly touch on topics like blood viscosity, exercise, vitamin D synthesis, anatomy and physiology courses, online courses, and snakebite effects in Australia.

Dr. Mike and Dr. Matt discuss ischemic heart disease, including symptoms, risk factors, and treatment. They talk about how heart disease can affect anyone, genetic risk factors, functional assessments, and reduced blood flow. They also explore the role of coronary arteries, symptoms of heart disease, and the use of ECG in diagnosis. The podcast touches on the prevention of heart attacks, complications of MI, and the mnemonic SHARTED for post-heart attack. They also discuss embolism, thrombus formation, and arrhythmia, as well as positive pressure ventilation.

One of the four tissue types of the body, epithelia lines and protects our organs from the external and internal environment. In this episode, Dr Matt & Dr Mike explain how the different shape and layers of epithelia tell you what function it performs (form = functions) and highlight examples in the body where you can find each type. They also explore cancer, metaplasia, dysplasia, and Dr Matt's mums skin cancer diagnosis and surgery.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrMattDrMike/Instagram: @drmiketodorovicTwitter: @drmiketodorovicTikTok: @dr_mike_todorovic Want to support us?
