This month we focus on bone health with the help of our guest Dr Alistair Mackett, a Consultant Geriatrician specialising in Parkinson's at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge and Regional Clinical Lead for the East of England Parkinson's Excellence Network.  People with Parkinson's are far more likely to to have poor bone health and a far higher risk of fracture than the rest of the population. We find out why, how this can be prevented and what treatments are available.   Parkinson's Excellence Network https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/professionals/parkinsons-uk-excellence-network , Parkinson's UK Bone Health https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/information-and-support/your-magazine/experts/bone-health-and-parkinsons

Listener Robin asks: "I heard on the podcast, that the reason why we get a sunburn, is that the body is trying to fix cells that are damaged by UV radiation. So if one person is sunburned longer than another, does that mean their immune system is worse?" To find an answer to this burning question, Adam Murphy spoke to dermatologist Jane Sterling...

"Do not drink sugary fizzy drinks. They are very harmful and the more you drink the more likely you are of getting cancer" "There is a clear correlation between the number of sugary fizzy drinks and cancer, particularly stomach cancer." These are the words of Professor Robert Thomas of Bedford and Addenbrooke's Hospital who is Jon Gaunt's guest in this latest free Simple as Fat podcast. Robert, who is a Cancer specialist, also states,"50 percent of cancers are caused by lifestyle and 40 percent of these cancers are connected to obesity." In this fascinating and enlightening podcast the Professor explains that sugar is the core of problem along with starchy carbs. He says, "We do not need any processed sugar, you do not need any sugar as it has NO nutritional value at all" The Professor also states that the worst thing you can do is have cereals, fruit juice, toast and sugar in your tea on an empty stomach first thing in the morning The main points he makes are: Fighting chronic diseases like cancer is about losing the weight and exercising. If you exercise you will build muscle so even if your weight is not dropping you are getting immediate benefit. The amount of sugar imported into UK is going up we know if you have processed sugar it is harmful. Sugar creates inflammation and changes your gut bacteria health. Sugar make you absorb more fat. Fat is a nice slow energy resource  Fatty foods are much better for you than sugary foods. Cut down or cut out completely starchy Carbs like bread, rice, pasta and potatoes.  Vitamin and mineral supplements are not necessary if you are healthy. Gut is at centre of most chronic illness and sugar is at core of that. He also busts the cholesterol myth saying it is inflammation that triggers disease like heart It is never too late to eat your way back to good health and you can reverse type 2 diabetes by avoiding sugar and processed carbs and moving on to fats. He concludes by saying that he saw 4 patients with prostate cancer today. They were all expecting to undergo chemo or surgery but instead he told them to change their lifestyle and their diet and come back in 6 months. He says he can guarantee that if they follow his plan they will be much less likely to need any intervention. They will avoid surgery, chemo or radiotherapy. In essence he states that you can improve your chances of living longer and avoiding these chronic diseases by eating well and losing weight.

In podcast #2 from dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk we have a great panel line up, talking about 'Working with people with dementia and their carers'. The people behind the disease are at the centre of what we do as dementia researchers. Biomedical research often involves directly working with patients and carers. This offers a fantastic opportunity and some unique challenges. In this recording Amy Monaghan talks to Timothy Rittman from University of Cambridge and Addenbrookes Hospital, Kellie Morrissey from the Open Lab at Newcastle University and Yvette Vermee from the Department of Psychiatry at University College London. We hear how these three individuals work with people with dementia, how this benefits their work, how to prepare, and how to approach working with individuals challenged by their symptoms.

The first podcast brought to you by dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk a new website for early career researchers - everything you need, all in one place. This week’s title is 'Managing a clinical and research career - The life of a clinical academic is a constant balancing act between the demands of delivering patient care and the requirement of driving research relevant to that. Although they are complimentary, there is often a gap between basic science and clinical application to be traversed. In this recording Amy Monaghan talks to Timothy Rittman from University of Cambridge and Addenbrookes Hospital and Ione Woollacott and Akin Nihat from University College London and University College London Hospitals. We hear how these three individuals meet this challenge, and what advice they might have for others.

As a nation, the UK are above the intake guidelines for salt, which, for an adult, is 6g per day. To put that into perspective, there's about half a gram in a small packet of crisps, or one ham and cheese sandwich. But what does salt do to our insides? Viknesh Selvarajah from Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, researches the impacts of salt and has a very unique perspective on the effects of high blood pressure, as he explained to Chris Smith.

How would you feel if your child's immunisations were linked to benefits or child care? In Australia, a full set of vaccinations is now a requirement for accessing most types of child care and claiming family tax credit worth around £500 a year. The only exception is if parents ask to be registered as conscientious objectors. Dr Steve Hambleton is President of the Australian Medical Association and explains how well these measures have been received. University of Sydney researchers have just published a new study adding to a body of evidence that pregnant women who see the same midwife require less intervention, have safer outcomes and are more likely to breastfeed their babies. They also save the healthcare system over £300. Professor Cathy Warwick, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives, tells Inside Health that adoption of this "caseload" model in the UK has been slow. Around half a million people in the UK have some form of leg ulcer, and up until recently many would have them dressed in the community for years, without the underlying cause ever being diagnosed and treated. But this now looks set to change, as new guidance published by NICE recommends that if ulcers last more than two weeks, patients should be referred to a specialist vascular clinic. Like the one at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, run by consultant vascular surgeon Mr Paul Hayes. Last year the NHS spent around £800 million on asthma medicines, but research suggests that at least half of people given the most common type of inhaler do not use them properly. This means their asthma remains poorly controlled and the NHS is wasting hundreds of millions of pounds. Mike Thomas is Chief Medical Advisor to Asthma UK.
