×Draft guidelines have been published to account for the changing world of prostate cancer screening. But a full screening program hasn't been established, because of flaws in the PSA test, and the risk of causing more harm than good. References Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia - draft guidelines…
As the US deals with a worsening measles outbreak, we’re also grappling with a rise in cases here. While travellers have been put on alert, not all cases are from people returning from overseas. People are contracting measles here as well. There has been a decline in the number of children getting immunised against the virus since 2020. What’s behind the trend, and what will happen if it continues? Guest/s Dr Linny Phuong , paediatric infectious diseases physician at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Cabrini Health and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute…

New research is revealing that what is sometimes known as a 'mini' or 'minor' stroke is not minor at all. A study has found after one of these attacks, your risk of a regular stroke and further harm is much higher. It highlights the need for more support for patients after they've had an attack, which could warn of more to come. Guest/s Professor Stephen Davis , director of the Melbourne Brain Centre at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and University of Melbourne. References Long-Term Risk of Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Optimised medical therapy alone versus optimised medical therapy plus revascularisation for asymptomatic or low-to-intermediate risk symptomatic carotid stenosis (ECST-2): 2-year interim results of a multicentre randomised trial Cognitive Decline After First-Time Transient Ischemic Attack…

Contracting COVID-19 can cause metabolic abnormalities, which may contribute to things like insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. So a team of researchers wanted to find out whether vaccination against COVID-19 could have the same effect. They tracked a small group of people as they received up to four vaccinations, comparing them to people with a mild coronavirus infection. Guest/s Associate Professor Ruey Leng Loo , Molecular Nutrition at the Australian National Phenome Centre at Murdoch University References Longitudinal study on immunologic, lipoproteomic, and inflammatory responses indicates the safety of sequential COVID-19 vaccination…

Thousands of doctors in New South Wales have gone on strike demanding better working conditions. They're demanding an end to long shifts which put patient safety at risk, and pay parity with other states. Also, the TGA updates its safety warnings for acne medication isotretinoin. However questions remain about how the changes can be implemented. References New safety warnings for isotretinoin (Roaccutane)…
Through the gut microbiome, we're learning about how important what we eat can be for our mood and mental health. But there are many ways our diet can affect our brain, and there are still connections yet to be uncovered. A study has looked into how changing the food on your plate can even help treat depression, alongside psychotherapy and sometimes medications.

Joint replacements are life-changing for many people who’ve been dealing with chronic pain and disability. However the materials used for these replacements are subject to wear and tear. More attention is being paid to the potential toxic effects of metal joint replacements when they start to break down. Also, Professor Smith talks about his decision to resign from Canberra Hospital. Statement from Canberra Health Services: Canberra Health Services has introduced an escalation pathway which makes the Clinical Director for Surgery the final decision maker where there is a difference of opinion between a surgeon and the Operations Centre. This ensures that there is a senior, independent clinician as the decision maker when there is a disagreement between specialties, as can sometimes happen with access to theatres. CHS recognises the critical importance of surgeons’ clinical decision-making and encourages all CHS surgeons to discuss their concerns with the Clinical Director. CHS will continue to work with surgical teams and senior doctors to address concerns about the implementation of the Integrated Operations Centre to ensure it is achieving the best outcomes for patients.

It’s not always simple to find out your risk of cardiovascular disease. Not everyone needs to – or should – undergo tests like coronary artery calcium scoring. How do you determine what your risk is, what tests might benefit you, and importantly, when it’s best to do nothing?

Changes to the Therapeutic Guidelines mean the antibiotics you get prescribed might change, including for UTIs. Also, another study on the shingles vaccine driving down the risk of dementia. And a correction — and clarification — on our story about back pain and interventions to treat it.

A new clinical toolkit has been designed to improve the management of vocal cord dysfunction. Also known as inducible laryngeal obstruction, this condition affects about up to 70 per cent of people with chronic cough, 20 per cent of people with asthma and 10 per cent of high-level athletes. It can be tough to diagnose and people can be put onto unnecessary or harmful treatments if it’s not identified.

Australian researchers are a step closer to proving the safety of some medications that can help pregnant women quit smoking. They've looked back at women who used nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), varenicline and bupropion during the first trimester of pregnancy. The drugs are not associated with an increased risk of major congenital malformations. Guest/s Dr Duong Tran , Research Fellow at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, UNSW References Risk of Major Congenital Malformations Following Prenatal Exposure to Smoking Cessation Medicines…
We could be underestimating the number of people living with diabetes by up to 35 per cent. For a long time we've been using data from the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) to estimate prevalence – and to make decisions about diabetes healthcare. But not everybody with diabetes signs up to this scheme. This disparity in numbers casts doubt on the assertion that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is trending down. Guest/s Dr Alice Gibson , Research Fellow at the Leeder Centre for Health Policy, Economics and Data at the University of Sydney References Is the burden of diabetes in Australia underestimated?
