"I don't know how I knew, but I've known my whole life"In this episode of Think: Health, we explore the complexity of intergenerational trauma and the impact it has on mental health. A new study conducted by Kim Slender, PhD Student at the University of Technology Sydney is looking at the epigenetic transmission of trauma across generations within the Jewish community and how this trauma can become embedded into ones genetic makeup.Featuring:Kim Slender - PhD Student in the Graduate School of Health at the University of Technology Sydney.Sylvia Griffin - Artist, SydneyNorm Sheehan - Director, GNIBI College of Indigenous Australian Peoples, Southern Cross University.Producer/Presenter: Evie Maguire.

Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of death around the globe responsible for more than 70% of global deaths. NCD's refer to an umbrella of chronic non-transmissible diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. While the extent of the burden is internationally recognised, efforts to tackle this growing health crisis are failing to address the root cause - social and economic inequality. This episode we look at how non-communicable diseases are impacting our poorest and most vulnerable communities and why Indigenous populations are completely removed from the global conversation.Featuring:Summer May Finlay - Co-Chair of Indigenous NCD's.Rosemary Wyber - Head of Strategy for End RHD at the Telethon Kids Institute.Producer/Presenter: Jake Morcom.

In 2014, women from South Asian communities - from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan and Bhutan - had the lowest rates of breast cancer screening in New South Wales. Breast cancer screenings, or mammograms, are vital for the early detection and treatment of breast cancer in women aged 50 to 74. But for some reason, only 1 in 5 women from South Asian communities were getting them. This is the story of the public health initiative that not only turned this statistic around, but in doing so brought a community of women together in celebration of the strengths of our multicultural nation.

Amyl Nitrites (known as “amyl” or “poppers”) are a part of life for many queer Australians, particularly gay men. A prescription level relaxant, it has been used as a party drug and sex aid for decades.Now, the Therapeutic Goods Administration has proposed criminalising amyl, moving it to the same classification as heroin. Since amyl is a non-addictive substance with significantly lower health risks, many in the queer community are seeing this move as an act of discrimination.Producer/Presenter:Daniel ButlerFeaturing:Dr Daniel Demant, Lecturer in Public Health, University of Technology Sydney*Due to the number of submissions, the TGA has delayed its final decision and extended the deadline for community feedback. There will be public forums held in Sydney and Melbourne early next year.

Where we've typically ascribed trauma to the individual, climate change now sees large groups of people sharing the same damaging experience in what's being called 'collective trauma'. But as post-disaster care continues to prioritise physical safety, the mental health of survivors often falls to the wayside. This episode we explore the global implications of climate change on mental health and why our mental health services aren't ready for what's to come. Featuring:Lucy Chen - Student at the University of Technology Sydney and Climate Activist.Helen Berry - Professor of Climate Change and Mental Health at the University of Sydney.

When tobacco company Philip Morris sued Australia over our plain packaging laws, it's fair to say we were taken by surprise. How can a foreign company take a nation's government to tribunal for protecting its citizens health?The answer is Investor State Dispute Settlement, an obscure clause in free trade agreements allowing corporations to sue foreign governments for what it perceives to be unfair discrimination. In practice, this tends to end up happening over regulations in two areas: health, and the environment.This episode unpacks how ISDS could put a stranglehold on regulations and policies that put people ahead of profit.Producer/Presenter:Cheyne AndersonSpeakers:Dr Patricia Ranald, Convener of Australian Fair Trade and Investment NetworkDr Carl Rhodes, Professor of Organizational Studies at the University of Technology SydneyMatthew Rimmer, Professor of Intellectual Property and Innovation Law at the Queensland University of TechnologyMax Bonnell, Partner White & Case

Our smart devices may know us better than our doctor. There's a range of apps currently available that can help us monitor and manage our health.

For those who find themselves in the justice system, it can be hard to find a way out. Between 2015 and 2016, almost 45% of all Australian prisoners returned to jail within two years of being released. But one provincial prison in Argentina has found a creative way of addressing the problem. They are reducing recidivism, but also boosting prisoner mental and physical health. So what can being behind bars in South America, teach Australians about what it means to be free?Featuring:Danielle Logue - Associate Professor of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Strategy at the University of Technology Sydney Business School.

When you think about contaminated sites, there are many health concerns that might come to mind. Breathing in toxic fumes or dust, or consuming food and water tainted with chemicals. But what does living near a contaminated site do to your mind? Research from the University of Technology Sydney is drawing connections between contamination and worry, proving that it can be as much about your psychological health as it is physical wellbeing.

Prior to the advent of modern medicine, bloodletting from the neck was once considered an acceptable treatment for Parkinson's disease. Oral medications and deep brain stimulation are now common practice in treating the disease, but there's another method which doesn't involve sending electrical pulses through the brain. And it's as simple as strapping on some gloves and throwing some good punches. This episode we look at how boxing and punching can be used for healing instead of hurting.Featuring:Bryce Vissel - Director of the Centre for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Technology Sydney.

Sophie Smith is never sure what to say when people ask her how many children she has. The answer is five, but when she was pregnant with triplets Sophie gave birth prematurely and none of her three boys – Henry, Jasper, Evan - survived.

The 2018 Federal Budget set aside $33.8 million to boost crisis support group Lifeline's 24-hour telephone service to address what some have described as a ‘mental health crisis’. However, what has been left out is any sort of targeted plan towards dealing with a different health crisis; the rates of depression, self-harm and suicide among transgender Australians, particularly young trans people. The numbers are shocking, but the solutions to the subsequent problems are not as complex as you might think.Featuring:Sarah Bowman - PhD Candidate in the Graduate School of Health at the University of Technology Sydney.Jet Hunt - Youth Worker and Client Services Officer at Twenty10.Allison Gallagher - Writer and Poet.

Our Emergency Departments are failing mental health patients. A new report has found mental health presentations account for only 4.5% of people in Emergency, yet they represent 30% of people waiting for a bed. This episode examines why some of us wait so long in hospital, and how this problem can’t be fixed by more time targets.Featuring:• Julia• Margaret Fry, Professor of Nursing at UTS and Northern Sydney Health District• Dr Simon Judkins, President, Australasian College for Emergency Medicine• Reece Hinchcliff, Senior Lecturer Centre for Health Services Management at the University of Technology Sydney.

As is the case for many autoimmune disorders, making sense of the symptoms can sometimes see you wandering around in circles. Coeliac disease is one of these disorders, where the very general yet in some cases severe symptoms of an aversion to gluten are often mistaken for something else, or in three out of four cases never properly diagnosed. This episode you’ll learn what it is about coeliac disease that makes it hard to fully recognise, and some of the innovative measures trying to identify gluten intolerance in early stages of life.Featuring: Dr Olga Shimoni, Michael Wallach and Anantdeep Kaur from School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Technology Sydney.

With the global probiotics market projected to grow to $64 billion USD by 2022, there are more gut health related products on our shelves that ever before.

During the mid 20th century, male circumcision reached its peak in Australia with more than 90% of males undergoing the procedure shortly after birth. However, today this percentage has not only dropped by half, but seen many medical professionals, parents and men speak out against the practice entirely. What caused this cultural shift? And why did the Western world adopt the practice in the first place?Featuring:Melissa Kang - Associate Professor in Public Health in the Faculty of Health at the University of Technology Sydney.Allison Cummins - Senior Lecturer in Midwifery in the Faculty of Health at the University of Technology Sydney.Melanie, Heidi, Lesley.

In early 2017 Rachael and Jonny welcomed their first child into the world, a daughter named Mackenzie. But something was wrong, and at 10 weeks Mackenzie was diagnosed with the terminal genetic disease Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1. With 1 in 50 of us carriers of SMA, there’s a chance you or someone you know could be carriers.

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the country with more than 70,000 notifications of the infection in 2016 alone. These statistics come from the Kirby Institute’s latest paper looking at the state of Australia’s sexual health. But unlike other sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea and hepatitis, the symptoms of chlamydia aren’t always recognisable and when it comes to treating the long term effects of the infection, our current treatments are falling short.Speakers:Willa Huston - Senior Lecturer in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney.Garry Myers - Associate Professor in the iThree Institute at the University of Technology Sydney.Presenter/Producer: Jake Morcom.

You've probably heard the expression 'the eye is the window to the soul', but what about 'the eye is a window to what's happening in your brain'? A growing body of research is looking to the eye as an indicator of neurological disease expressed through something called bio-markers. These markers could represent the presence of a disease in the body, and for Motjaba Golzan from the University of Technology Sydney and his research, they could potentially indicate the onset of Alzheimers. Presenter/Producer: Jake Morcom.

Not very often is it that a new field emerges in the world of medical science, let alone one to this scale. Mechanobiology understands the body as a dynamic system, measured by the mechanical forces which form it - your heartbeat, your blood pressure and the signals being sent to the brain. When adopted in practice, mechanobiology could teach us even more about our cells and tissue and provide insight into treatments for diseases like cancer and diabetes. Presenter/Producer: Jake Morcom.

On any given night, more than 100,000 Australians are homeless with more than one third of those being between the ages of 12 and 25. Although we have an equipped understanding of why youth become homeless, the data around their physical and mental wellbeing continues to fall through the cracks. Presenter: Jake Morcom. Producer: Miles Herbert.

When you think of a pharmacist, your mind probably turns to the street corner chemist where as a kid you got a bag of jellybeans after getting your flu shot. Now while that is still true for some, the evolving role of the pharmacist could see them do more than hand over your prescription, but prescribe medications for you on the spot. Typically that role has been left to general practitioners, but as consumer demand increases, the healthcare industry is looking to ways the pharmacist could operate as a middle figure between diagnosis and drug administration.

The mental health of LGBTIQ people is among the poorest in Australia, who are twice as likely to have experienced a high level of psychological distress as their heterosexual peers. Two researchers from the University of Technology Sydney have conducted a survey of how the marriage equality postal vote is either boosting community morale or making these distresses worse. Producer/Presenter: Jake Morcom.

Today the Community and Primary Health Care Nursing Week, held by the Australian College of Nursing begins, showcasing some of the most important and courageous work performed by healthcare professionals working outside the four walls of the hospital.

In Australia, 1 person every 9 minutes will experience a stroke. Last Monday the new clinical guidelines for stroke management were launched, the first update to the guidelines in more than 7 years. However, without a government written national strategy to fight stroke quality care continues to fall between the cracks. Producer/Presenter: Jake Morcom.

In Australia, close to 380,000 people work as nurses. The role nurses play in the delivery of healthcare is crucial - often spending more time with the patient than any other health professional. Yet while nurses pay such close attention to the health of others, they often forget to think of themselves. Producer/Presenter: Jake Morcom.

Vasa Previa is a cause of stillbirth that is preventable. It's a rare condition women can experience during pregnancy where the blood vessels that connect the baby's umbilical cord to the mother's placenta are exposed, or positioned in a way that makes them vulnerable to rupture. If diagnosed antenatally the baby can safely be delivered by cesarean section. We look at a world first national study based in Australia. And we bust the myth that Aboriginal athletes are good at sport, naturally. Plus, why you should you stick to the same doctor.

It's national hearing awareness week so let's look into something important to the one in six Australians who are hard of hearing -- captions. There's a push for captions to become universal -- that would mean all audio visual content created would have words on screen showing what is being said. It's not just the deaf, hard of hearing and hearing impaired that stand to benefit from captions. And anaesthesia temporarily takes away your consciousness, so what can it tell us about what consciousness actually is? Plus I learn how to reduce stress through practicing Tai Chi.

Have you ever forgotten to take your pills? You're not alone. Fifty percent of Australians with chronic conditions are guilty of what's known as 'medication non-adherence'. The issue puts a huge burden on our health care system to the tune of $7billion. But two UTS PHD candidates have a solution. Are nano-diamonds the future of bio-imaging -- tracking drugs and other molecules within our bodies? They're bright, non-toxic and surprisingly cheap, And I let an artist sample my heart.

Four thousand people are diagnosed with head and neck cancer each year in Australia. Head and neck cancer refers to malignant tumours growing in the tissue or lymph nodes of the head and neck region of the body. This can mean the oral cavity, tongue, palate, jaw, salivary glands, throat or nose. Survival rates are improving but treatment can impact a patient's quality of life. Survivors tell their stories about life after the disease. And how breaking up prolonged sitting can keep your brain healthy. And how can blood help cure cancer. Presenter/Producer: Laura Corrigan

Mental health and how it has influenced the world of art has been showcased through some of history's most acclaimed artists and performers. Through artistic expression, you can catch a glimpse or peruse into someone's life experience. It's this intersection between art and mental health that some are saying should receive more attention by health professionals than it currently is. Presenter/Producer: Jake Morcom.

64% of Australians regularly partake in sport, but only 23% of those with a disability are participating. For those with a disability, there are a number of barriers that prevent sport participation - including transport, availability of facilities but too a competitive environment, that can also leave those without a disability feeling intimidated and deterring them from participating altogether. Presenter: Jake Morcom. Producers: Jake Morcom, Lia Tsamoglou and Ellen Leabeater.

Gordon's career as a musician spans more than 30 years, but for more than half of that he's been plagued by a neurological movement disorder. It's called musician's dystonia, and not only does it disrupt his ability to play, but it's completely changed his approach and attitude towards music. Producer/Presenter: Jake Morcom.
