This podcast features Dr Sarah Smith, a GP and member of the @leukaemiacare advisory panel, discussing the importance of early diagnosis of acute leukaemia. Learn how: Leukaemia is often diagnosed late, with 37% of cases first identified in A&E, leading to poorer outcomes. Common leukaemia symptoms include fatigue, repeated infections, bruising, and bleeding. Symptoms like shortness of breath, fever, night sweats, and bone/joint pain can also be indicators of leukaemia.GPs are advised to have a low threshold for ordering full blood counts if leukaemia is suspected, and to act quickly to get results.The emotional impact of a leukaemia diagnosis is significant, so GPs must communicate sensitively when raising concerns.#Leukaemia #EarlyDiagnosis #GPEducation #BloodCancer #MedicalEducation

In this episode:00:46 Unravelling why children with Down's syndrome are at a higher risk of leukaemiaChildren with Down's syndrome have a 150-fold increased risk of developing leukaemia than those without the condition. Now, an in-depth investigation has revealed that changes to genome structures in fetal liver stem-cells appear to be playing a key role in this increase.Down's syndrome is characterised by cells having an extra copy of chromosome 21. The team behind this work saw that in liver stem-cells — one of the main places blood is produced in a growing fetus — this extra copy results in changes in how DNA is packaged in a nucleus, opening up areas that are prone to mutation, including those known to be important in leukaemia development.The researchers hope their work will be an important step in understanding and reducing this risk in children with Down's syndrome.Research Article: Marderstein et al.

In today's episode, I sit down with Ruby, a resilient young woman who was first diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia at just 14 years old in 2017. Ruby opens up about her journey through two bone marrow transplants, the first from her brother, who was a 100% match, and the second from an anonymous donor's stem cells. She recounts the experience of intensive chemotherapy, 23 days of isolation after her first transplant, and the daunting challenge of relapsing at 16, leading to even more grueling treatments, including full-body radiation and trips to the ICU. Ruby shares the physical and emotional toll of spending 120 days in isolation during her second transplant, battling complications like mucositis, brain lesions, and the eventual need for a double hip replacement due to AVN. Despite these immense challenges, Ruby's story is one of strength and perseverance. Now thriving at university, she reflects on her journey with gratitude and determination to live her best life. This episode also features an intimate audio clip from Ruby's mother, offering a heartfelt perspective on Ruby's battle with leukemia and the impact it had on their family. Ruby's story is a testament to the power of hope, resilience, and the incredible strength it takes to overcome life's most difficult challenges. Find Ruby : Instagram

In 2010 James Wells was diagnosed with Myeloid Leukaemia at the age of twenty one. Just six months later following five months of intense chemotherapy James represented team England World Karate championships in Las Vegas. However his Leukaemia relapsed which led to him requiring an urgent stem cell transplant and against all odds his little sister proved to be a perfect match. After another four months of intensive chemotherapy and full body irradiation James remarkably made a full recovery. In total he spent 286 days in hospital and incredibly went on to win two World Karate championships medals in the years that followed. And this is his story.
You've heard it from us before on this podcast, but we'll say it again. AI is transforming our world.Depending on which market research you look at, AI in healthcare is already somewhere from a 14-21 billion dollar industry in 2023, which is almost double what it was worth just two years ago. By 2028, it's set to be a 100 billion dollar global industry, growing some 40% year-on-year. That's astonishing, even in the already skyrocketing AI sphere. In this episode, we'll be looking at a wide spectrum of expertise to get a sense of where the field is right now, what the future looks like, and some of the cool technologies which might fill it. We'll be looking at the ways in which AI is making healthcare more efficient, and overcoming roadblocks, as well as examining the ethics of letting algorithms influence human outcomes.We're joined in this episode by Mike Woodacre, Chief Technologist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. He starts by spelling out the origins of this explosive growth during the COVID Pandemic, which ushered in a new world of collaboration and inter-disciplinary use of AI and High Performance Computing to look at new vaccine options, as well as examine scientific research looking for patterns. He urges caution, though, in relying on AI solutions which haven't been adequately trained in the locales they are being used in and so may not account for regional factors such as more or less common versions of a disease.That's something Andy Cachaldora, General Manager for Northern Europe at GE Healthcare, agrees with. They've seen an incredible expansion of AI tools not just in diagnostic machines, but also in making sure that every second of a healthcare professional's time is being used wisely. For him, AI is about taking out the grunt work and uncertainty from running clinics, giving better outcomes all round. Again, however, he urges caution in the way AIs are trained and implemented, with poor data collection and poor planning a route to disaster. The idea of good, global data sources to train AI is something that has inspired Joachim Schultze, professor of systems medicine from the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Medicine. In collaboration with HPE, he's been working on a blockchain-based system of machine learning tools to analyse Leukaemia scans, which keeps the data in-hospital to ensure data protection, but sends the insights of the scans to dozens of other institutes worldwide to train their own machine learning algorithms. That's ensuring that everyone's AI is collaboratively being trained on the widest, global dataset possible, with no risk to patient privacy. But where's the human in all this? Well, right at the centre of it all. After all, any AI requires training, and the training in most cases is still provided by human medical experts, for use by their peers down the line.And a fascinating new piece of research suggests that the reason AI imaging works so well is that the expertise of a dozen doctors looking at cases together – in clinic or when training Ais, are better than one. A kind of swarm intelligence or swarm learning experience. Rutwik Shah worked on the research at the Center for Intelligent Imaging, which found that by training with swarms of doctors, not only could inexperienced groups of junior doctors analyse scans more reliably than the best AI, they were as effective as groups of doctors with decades of experience. It's fascinating work, which could revolutionise the way AIs are trained and behave, as well as changing the way scans are analysed.It's a fascinating world. Come with us on the journey.Citations:00:57: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2022/01/special-burnout-stress01:55: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/artificial-intelligence-healthcare-market-54679303.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw5_GmBhBIEiwA5QSMxOR1CRaYz_g_dcLRAd1aJwxb3tbPBUYcQ0l9mrrtZsRv93yUzWkJTRoCruUQAvD_BwEhttps://www.statista.com/statistics/1334826/ai-in-healthcare-market-size-worldwide/06:19: https://www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-support/nhs-delivery-and-workforce/pressures/nhs-diagnostics-data-analysis#:~:text=There%20is%20not%20enough%20diagnostic%20staff%20in%20the%20NHS&text=According%20to%20the%20Royal%20College,11%2C370%20additional%20staff%20by%202025.30:28: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-90292-6
This week on Wellbeing we are talking with Dr Heather Murray from the University of Newcastle about Leukaemia. Leukaemia is a blood cancer that most often occurs in those over 55, with estimates suggesting that 5,200 new cases in Australia were diagnosed in 2022. Dr Murray has established herself as a competent researcher, having discovered components of acute myeloid leukaemia that could lead to more effective treatments. In this episode, Dr Murray talks about what leukaemia is, its symptoms, how and why it occurs, the impact chemotherapy has on the body, the emerging treatments for leukaemia, the age groups affected, the cancer research sector, the economic benefits of cancer research, and the biological underpinnings of leukaemia. "We can cure some leukaemias, there are some subtypes of leukaemia that are mostly curable." - Dr Heather Murray on this episode of Wellbeing Tune in next month when we talk with Two Students about Student Wellbeing We would love to hear from you!

This week on Wellbeing we are talking with Dr Michelle Brown from the University of Newcastle about ovarian cancer. It is the 8th most common cancer to occur in women, with 1,800 new cases diagnosed in Australia in 2022. Dr Brown is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Newcastle and her research explores DNA repair post chemotherapy, and alternative treatments for those with ovarian cancer. In this episode, Dr Brown talks about what ovarian cancer is, how and why it occurs, the emotional toll ovarian cancer can have on women, the early symptoms of ovarian cancer, the age group of women commonly being impacted by ovarian cancer, the genetic underpinnings of ovarian cancer, the different types of ovarian cancer, and the ovarian cancer research field. "(Ovarian cancer) is not often diagnosed at early stages. So in the early stages, when it is confined to the ovaries, you can get some symptoms, but they are quite nondescript and they're often symptoms that affect women at the time of the month." - Dr Michelle Brown on this episode of Wellbeing Tune in next week when we talk about Leukaemia with Dr Heather Murray We would love to hear from you!

This episode is a first for me. I speak to Angie, a patient who I first looked after in 2021 whilst she was receiving chemotherapy for AML. She went on to have a successful stem cell transplant and is ready to share her story. There are so many unexpected lessons here and it's a must listen for anyone involved in caring from haemato-oncology patients. You also need to listen to this to find out why I compared her to a kiwi after she had had to shave her head. WARNING: I do not recommend listening to this if you are a patient or a relative of someone who has recently been diagnosed with acute leukaemia.

If the Critérium du Dauphiné's ability to highlight the Tour de France favourites once again proves reliable, Jonas Vingegaard is going to be hard to stop as he aims to defend his title in July. We examine the Dane's dismantling of his rivals in the French Alps, look at which of them have emerged from the Dauphiné with reason for optimism and, on the flip side, those who have left with their reputations tarnished.Liker the Dauphiné, the Tour International Féminin des Pyrénées was scheduled to have a Sunday afternoon finish, but instead the three-day stage event ended in chaos and acrimony on the final morning with riders and teams refusing to race due to safety fears after repeated incursions by cars on the route. We hear from the CPA riders' union president Adam Hansen, who negotiated on the racers' behalf, about what went wrong and how it can be put right. Were the riders really "spoilt children" as the race director asserted?Our colleague Shane Stokes caught up with three-time Tour de France champion Greg LeMond earlier this week. In extracts from their conversation, we hear about the former world champion's battle with leukaemia and how it's finally going his way after his initial fears that it might beat him, and about his plans for carbon fibre innovation in the bike industry and a relaunch for his bike brand. We close with another exclusive that came out of Chris Marshall-Bell's interview with Vuelta a España director Javier Guillén, who reveals that the Spanish Grand Tour is actively looking for more starts. He also lifts the lid on big plans for the Vuelta Femenina, launched with huge success as a seven-day race last month. Guillén admits that he wants the race to be longer, perhaps more than twice as long in the medium team...Support the show
