S7 E8: Longevity of THR; GLP1a for Addiction; Analgesia for Kids
Episode 8
Friday, 13 March, 2026

Welcome to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. Three new research papers to help us along our way in general practice this month.First, how long do modern hip replacements last? How does this new data change our conversation with patients?Second, it's thought GLP1 agonists could have a role in addiction management, but so far, research has failed to show a definitive benefit. Could new data from the US on veterans with type 2 diabetes show a different picture? Finally, what analgesia would you recommend for a child in pain? This new paper compared ibuprofen with or without paracetamol or hydromorphone - yes, an extremely potent long-acting opioid for kids. Good idea? We find out.ReferencesLancet Hip replacement longevityLancet THR EditorialBMJ GLP1ra and addictionBJP editorialJAMA Analgesia and Child www.nbmedical.com/podcast
