Have you ever wondered what assistance dogs' lives are like before they start work?  This month we visit the charity, Medical Detection Dogs and meet the many young dogs in training for medical alert assistance work, who are working towards being placed with a  human partner. The working dogs all live with families and volunteer fosterers at night and for the weekend. In the morning, the various detection dogs are dropped off at work, and the trainee medical alert assistance dogs arrive for training.  Gemma Butlin of Medical Detection Dogs explains to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather how the charity keeps its many dogs relaxed and happy during their training, and what a typical day looks like for the charity's trainee medical alert assistance dogs.   We hear from "puppy picker" Chris, who explains the qualities he looks for in very small puppies, and how they will be gently introduced to a range of stimuli - from hairdryers to tractors.   A varied and exciting puppyhood is a key factor in developing the steadfastiness that will be required of the dogs once they start work with their human partners. Connected episodes: Hear Plum the e-coli detection dog at work at the charity's training centre Meet Dr. Claire Guest and her three bio detection dogs as she describes how labrador Daisy detected her breast cancer, and inspired  the charity, Medical Detection Dogs Hear Simone Brainch of the charity Medical Detection Dogs on medical alert dogs Browse more dogs with interesting jobs.

In the first of a two part series, this month, Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather visits the charity, Medical Detection Dogs and hears from its CEO, Dr. Claire Guest. Claire led the team responsible for the world's first study of canine detection of bladder cancer, which was published in the BMJ in September 2004. She founded the charity on little more than anecdotes and what was at the time - despite being published in the BMJ -  considered to be an eccentric conviction that dogs' olfactory superpowers could bring something new to the table in cancer research. In a wide ranging conversation, Claire talks candidly about how her first dog, Daisy, detected her own breast cancer. She explains the charity's work in the key area of bio detection (the other is medical alert assistance dogs, which is the subject of a separate  episode).  We are introduced to Claire's three pet dogs, who work as detection dogs at the charity's headquarters. Florin is a red Labrador, whose detection work data is being shared with a research team at M.I.T. in Boston to help them understand and ‘map' how a dog perceives “bio markers” - which means the subtle changes in scent that indicate the changes in a human body caused by cancer or other disease. The data is feeding into the creation of an effective artificial intelligence algorithm for prostate cancer detection. Iggy and Asher are rescue dogs, for whom life as a pet didn't work out and who have settled since being given a job. Superstar Asher started on malaria and moved onto Covid-19. (It is unusual it is rare to be redeployed in this line of work and bio detection dogs tend to specialise for their whole career.  Update: in the King's Birthday Honours in June 2023, Claire was recognised for her work with an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to Medical Knowledge, Public Health and Wellbeing. As we note in this episode, she started the charity 15 years ago based on little more than a hunch that dogs had plenty to teach us about scent. What a long way it's come since then.

Da es nicht nur spannende Gesprächspartner im deutschsprachigen Raum gibt, haben wir beschlossen euch auch immer wieder mal mit einer Bonusfolge in englischer Sprache zu Beglücken. In der heutigen Episode spricht Host Eva mit Ilkka Hormilla über das Thema Spürhunde im medizinischen Bereich oder auch "Medical Detection Dogs". Was macht denn heutzutage noch Sinn und wo ist die Hundenase der Technik noch immer eine Spur voraus? Diese und weitere Fragen zum Thema Hunde in der Gesundheitsvorsorge besprechen wir mit Ilkka und lauschen erstaunt den Stoffmengenangaben, die für die Ausbildung von Spürhundeteams in diesem Bereich notwendig sind. Zusätzlich lässt uns Ilkka an seinen Erfahrunge der letzten Jahrzehnte teilhaben und nimmt uns mit auf die Ausbildungsreise mit seinem Junghund.

Can animals sniff out cancer? Absolutely they can! It turns out that a dog's incredible sense of smell can sniff out prostate cancer from a urine sample. Indeed, one recent study suggested that a dog can detect lung cancer from someone's breath. So how do they do it? And how is this incredible talent being deployed in the real world? We talk to the co-founder of the Medical Detection Dogs charity Dr Claire Guest to find out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Anna is joined by Bill Lambert from The Kennel Club talking about London's biggest dog event - Discover Dogs 15-16 October at the Excel Centre. It's a doggy dream day out for all dog lovers, especially those aspiring to bring a dog into your life. As a fun weekend highlighting a host of dog activities like Agility,  we chat about how over 150 dog breeds will be showcased by their officiados, experts in every breed. It gives people the chance to get up close to the dogs they may have thought would be a perfect match. But may realise that a bark-less Basenji may be more suitable for their experience and lifestyle than a Bassett Hound. There's the return of the hugely popular ‘Cuddle Corner', which allows visitors to relax, and de-stress by stroking a host of different puppies and dogs. Apart from an opportunity to enjoy retail therapy galore, there's a chance to listen to experts, and watch Medical Detection Dogs in action. Plus there's the penultimate Scruffts competition, with the finale at Crufts in March 2023. And for those football fans there's the Woofball world Cup where Barkelona and Woof Hound United compete in the main arena. There's also plenty on the British Vulnerable Breeds, those that for some odd reason have fallen out of popularity. That includes A DOG'S LIFE co-host, Mr Binks, an English Toy Terrier, who is technically more rare than a giant panda!Find out more at discoverdogs.org.ukInstagram @thekennelclubukJoin the Dog's Life Club on Patreon.

Are you a dog person? Maybe you have one at home and enjoy taking it for walks and curling up with it on the sofa. Personally, I'm not that kind of person – for me they're aggressive, smelly animals that need constant care and lack the independent nature and intelligence that cats have. But given the life-saving skills that some dogs possess, maybe I should give them a second chance. 你是爱狗人士吗？也许你家里有一个，喜欢带着它散步和蜷缩在沙发上。就我个人而言，我不是那种人——对我来说，它们是好斗的、有臭味的动物，需要不断的照顾，缺乏猫所拥有的独立天性和智慧。但考虑到一些狗拥有的救生技能，也许我应该给它们第二次机会。To some a perfect pooch might be one that looks cute, is loyal and sits when it's told but that's about it – it's just a pet. But to really be man's best friend, they need to do something useful. Some breeds that have amazing sense of smell are put to good use as sniffer dogs or detection dogs, and are trained to use their senses to detect substances such as explosives and illegal drugs. You'll often see them at airports or working with police out on the streets.对于一些完美的狗来说，它可能看起来很可爱，忠诚并且在被告知时会坐着，但仅此而已 - 它只是一只宠物。但要真正成为人类最好的朋友，他们需要做一些有用的事情。一些具有惊人嗅觉的品种被很好地用作嗅探犬或侦查犬，并被训练使用它们的感官来检测爆炸物和非法药物等物质。你会经常在机场看到他们，或者在街上与警察一起工作。Other types of working dogs include guide dogs, hearing dogs and mobility dogs all providing a life-saving service to their owners. Some dogs can alert emergency services when their owner has a seizure. And there are clever canines that have been trained to provide affection and comfort to people in hospitals, retirement homes or schools and to people with autism.其他类型的工作犬包括导盲犬、助听犬和行动犬，它们都为其主人提供救生服务。有些狗可以在主人癫痫发作时向紧急服务部门发出警报。还有一些聪明的犬类经过训练，可以为医院、养老院或学校的人们以及自闭症患者提供关爱和安慰。New uses for dogs are being discovered all the time. Dr Claire Guest is CEO of Medical Detection Dogs, she says "although the dog has a fluffy coat and a waggy tail, he is in fact a highly sophisticated bio-sensor. You know, evolution has given him this highly sensitive nose, going down to parts per trillion."狗的新用途一直在被发现。 Claire Guest 博士是 Medical Detection Dogs 的首席执行官，她说：“虽然这只狗有蓬松的外套和摇摆的尾巴，但它实际上是一个高度复杂的生物传感器。你知道，进化给了它这个高度敏感的鼻子，向下移动万亿分之几。”It's this incredible ability that has led to the UK's National Health Service assessing whether dogs can be used to detect early stage prostate cancer - vital for improving survival rates.正是这种令人难以置信的能力导致英国国家卫生服务局评估狗是否可用于检测早期前列腺癌——这对于提高生存率至关重要。The dogs - usually from the gundog breed, such as labradors and springer spaniels - are taught to detect a sample of urine from a patient with prostate cancer.这些狗——通常来自猎犬品种，如拉布拉多犬和史宾格犬——被教导检测前列腺癌患者的尿液样本。It's also managed to train dogs to detect changes in blood glucose levels in people suffering from type 1 diabetes. One patient, who has one of these medical alert assistance dogs, told the BBC that "in the three and a half years we've been together, he has alerted and potentially saved my life 3,500 times. And he does it all for a dog biscuit."它还设法训练狗检测患有 1 型糖尿病的人的血糖水平变化。一位拥有其中一只医疗警报辅助犬的患者告诉 BBC，“在我们在一起的三年半里，他已经提醒并可能挽救了我的生命 3500 次。他为一只狗做了这一切。饼干。”To save a life for a dog biscuit seems a small price to pay so maybe I should have more admiration and respect for our four-legged friends – maybe cats aren't so smart!为一只狗饼干挽救一条生命似乎是一个很小的代价，所以也许我应该对我们的四足朋友多一些钦佩和尊重——也许猫没有那么聪明！词汇表a dog person 喜欢狗的人aggressive 好斗的、霸道的life-saving 能挽救生命的give them a second chance 给它们第二次机会，比喻重新考虑pooch （非正式）狗loyal 忠诚的man's best friend “人类最好的朋友”，是对狗的昵称sense of smell 嗅觉sniffer dogs 嗅探犬substances 物质，材料 guide dogs 导盲犬seizure（疾病的）发作canines 犬科动物affection 爱、友好之情autism 自闭症、孤独症waggy 爱摆动的，不停摇摆的bio-sensor 生物感应器prostate cancer 前列腺癌type 1 diabetes 第一型糖尿病medical alert assistance dogs 医疗警报援助犬a small price to pay 微不足道的代价four-legged friends “四条腿的朋友”，对狗的昵称

Welcome to this episode of The Underdog Vet Podcast! In this episode's Animal Advocate Interview, I chatted with Chris Allen the Dog Training Manager at Medical Detection Dogs. Medical Detection Dogs is a charity that trains Bio Detection Dogs and Medical Alert Assistance Dogs – don't worry if you don't know what I'm talking about because Chris explains everything in our chat! As well as the incredible work being done by these amazing dogs, we also talked about how these dogs are trained, what their regular working day is like and how the information they're giving us is being used by medical researchers to combat illnesses to improve human health. Medical Detection Dogs was founded in 2008 by Dr John Church and Dr Claire Guest who together recognised the huge potential for advancements in human health that were possible by understanding and harnessing the power of the dogs nose. Today Claire leads that work as Chief Executive and Chief Scientific Officer, supported by a dedicated team of professional staff and volunteers. Chris and I mentioned some terms some listeners may not be familiar with. The first one was shaping. Shaping is breaking down your dog's learning into smaller sections and rewarding them for each section, here's a link explaining more: https://positively.com/dog-training/methods-equipment/training-methods/shaping/. The next was clicker training. Clicker training is used to let your dog know they've done the right thing, here's a link explaining more: https://positively.com/dog-training/methods-equipment/training-methods/clicker-training/ Links: Medical Detection Dogs Website: https://www.medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/ Medical Detection Dogs Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/medicaldetectiondogs/?hl=en Dr Claire Guest's book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-Claire-Guest/s?rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_27%3AClaire+Guest How you can help: https://www.medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/giving/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-underdog-podcast/message

This month, we meet Simone Brainch from the UK charity Medical Detection Dogs. Simone explains how the charity has developed since 2014, including its network of Medical Alert Assistance Dogs. The charity's specially trained assistance dogs alert their owners to impending medical emergencies, such as hypo-glycemic episodes or even allergic reactions. These dogs work incredibly closely with their human partners to warn them of an impending health episode, giving them the time to make themselves safe. It's all down to the dogs' amazing sense of smell - they are trained to identify tiny odour changes emitted by their owner before an emergency and alert the person to take preventative action.  Find out more at Medical Alert Assistance Dogs.

For more delicious news, go to www.GoodNewsGoodPlanet.com, and scroll to bottom for more ways to find the feel good stuff!* CANCER K9S Cancer is going to the dogs. While canines are often used to sniff out drugs and bombs, researchers are now using them to nose out certain types of cancer. A British organization called Medical Detection Dogs is conducting one of the largest clinical trials of canine cancer detection. In the studies, trained dogs circle a carousel of blood serum samples containing both normal and malignant ones. The canines were able to sniff out the cancerous ones with 97% accuracy, better than some traditional lab tests. A dog's nose has about 300 million sensors compared with a human's 5 million. Dogs also have a second smelling device known as a Jacobson's organ, essentially giving them two noses. This double smelling system makes them 10,000 times more sensitive than humans, and allows them to detect cancer's unique odor signatures called volatile organic compounds. These signatures are contained in a person's sweat, breath, urine, and other bodily fluids. With such powerful sniffers, certain dogs can identify colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and melanomas. Until now, most reports of canines detecting cancer were anecdotal. The study's findings confirm these stories and will hopefully reduce or eliminate expensive, invasive screening. "I absolutely believe that dogs can detect cancer,” says Cynthia Otto, director of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine Working Dog Center. “The bigger question is how we will use them in the battle to fight cancer?” Scientists are still working on how to implement dogs in clinical practice and on a broader scale. Possibilities include using them in conjunction with traditional diagnostic tests or creating something entirely new, such as an "electronic nose" that could imitate a dog's powerful smelling abilities. One thing remains clear: man's best friend is proving to be man's greatest ally as well, in the fight against cancer. #### *Hungry for more of the Good Stuff?

After 8 weeks of sheltering in place, I think a lot of us are hitting a wall. So let’s dive into the positive, uplifting, happier news stories of the week and see if maybe we can feel better in 10 minutes or less. Here we go. 1- In Colorado, a man has won the lottery twice in one day after playing the same numbers for 30 years. Colorado Lottery officials identified 'Joe B' as the winner of two $1 million Powerball prizes in Pueblo on March 25 2- Scientists in Senegal Have Developed A $1 COVID-19 Testing Kit And Plan To Export Millions To African Countries 3- In a very poor part of Tijuana, Mexico a ten-year-old boy put a sign outside his home along with his stuffed animals saying he was selling them in order to buy food to help his mom. The community answered his call but instead of taking his stuffed animals, they filled their front yard with food and more toys for his collection. 4- Over in the UK, a charity that trains medical detection dogs that in the past have successfully detected malaria and cancer, are now being trained to sniff out the coronavirus. Medical Detection Dogs - the charity behind this - is accepting donations and you can learn all about their dogs on social media too! 5 -Also in the UK, the race for a vaccine continues and they are saying they will know by July whether their Covid-19 vaccine is effective! 6- The spread of Covid-19 in Denmark has not accelerated since the country began a gradual loosening of restrictions in mid-April 7- Here in the U.S. - Gilead's experimental drug remdesivir may be the first effective coronavirus treatment, shorting the duration of illness in the sickest of patients. More data is needed but the nation's top infectious disease experts seem hopeful. 8- If you are near Vista, CA, come pick up a growler of kombucha or cold brew for FREE Saturday, May 9th between 11am-1pm. We're doing it because we, unfortunately, have some kegs that are getting close to their best buy dates and we refuse to pour it down the drain. We’d rather people enjoy it!

This week on The Pet Buzz, Petrendologist Charlotte Reed and Michael Fleck, DVM, talk with Claire Guest, Ph.D., of Medical Detection Dogs about using specially trained K9s to sniff out Coronavirus; Dr. Michael Yabsley from the University of Georgia about increased rates of Lyme disease infections in dogs and how that can be used to predict Lyme Disease in humans; and with Bruce Akey, DVM, director of the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, about animal disease transmission and Coronavirus testing for pets.

On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast with Dermot Murnaghan, we examine the Government's response to the coronavirus pandemic.We are joined by Sky's Katie Spencer and Isla Glaister along with science writer Tom Chivers - plus we speak to the Medical Detection Dogs charity and oncologist Prof Karol Sikora about dogs being trained to detect the virus in people.Check out @medicaldetectiondogs on Instagram to meet the special recruits.

Claire Guest always loved dogs, but she didn’t realise that a dog might save her life one day. She’s a psychologist and animal behaviourist who began researching whether dogs could smell illness in people. Claire set up a charity to train dogs to detect diseases such as cancer in humans. She had a special bond with her Labrador Daisy, who started acting strangely around her one day. The dog alerted Claire to a lump in her breast, which Claire says saved her life. Daisy detected over 500 cases and won a Blue Cross medal for dogs. Now Claire is working with doctors and scientists to try and sniff out Covid-19 as well as working as the CEO for her charity Medical Detection Dogs.

The CEO of Medical Detection Dogs, the ground breaking charity that trains dogs to sniff out disease by harnessing their extraordinary sense of smell joins Anna to talk about the early days pioneering cancer research through to how these dogs help save lives and the role they can play in battling Covid-19.

In this first episode, Dr Zara Boland is joined by fellow clinical veterinarian, Dr Pete Wedderburn to discuss the current coronavirus pandemic and how it's affecting our interaction with our pets. Zara and Pete set the record straight on a few myths about the ability of dogs and cats to spread Covid-19 and they also offer expert advice on what to do if your pet needs veterinary treatment during this time. Plus they look at the benefits of pet ownership and share tips on how to keep our furry friends happy whilst staying home.Links to reputable organisations offering advice for pet owners:OIE: The World Organisation for Animal Health https://www.oie.int/en/scientific-expertise/specific-information-and-recommendations/questions-and-answers-on-2019novel-coronavirus/ DEFRA (Department for Environmental, Food & Rural Affairs), UKhttp://apha.defra.gov.uk/documents/ov/Briefing-Note-1020.pdfAVMA: The American Veterinary Medical Associationhttps://www.avma.org/resources-tools/animal-health-and-welfare/covid-19/covid-19-social-tools RCVS: The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, UKhttps://animalowners.rcvs.org.uk/help-and-advice/ UK Government:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-advice-for-people-with-animals BVA: British Veterinary Associationhttps://www.bva.co.uk/news-and-blog/news-article/bva-statement-on-pet-vaccinations-during-the-covid-19-lockdown/ DVM360: American Veterinary Journalhttps://www.dvm360.com/view/cat-tests-positive-for-covid-19,-but-there-is-no-cause-for-panic Medical Detection Dogs, UKhttps://www.medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk/dogs-could-join-the-fight-against-covid-19/ Dogs Trust, UKhttps://www.dogstrust.org.uk/news-events/blog/2019/how-to-make-your-own-snuffle-mat See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this edition: We explore the possible harms of vaping, meet dogs trained to detect disease, and travel through the physics of CERN. News: Sepsis alert and dreaming while awake – We find out about a new system to automatically alert doctors to patients displaying signs of sepsis, and discover how the psychedelic drug in  ayahuasca affects the brain. Is vaping dangerous? – We examine the evidence around recent deaths from e-cigarettes, exploring how non-sanctioned uses and flavourings may be harmful, while also recognising how vaping helps cigarette smokers avoid potentially worse effects. The dogs that sniff out disease – We meet medical detection dogs that are being trained (by their human researchers) to recognise early lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients before they become chronic and cause damage. A voyage through CERN – We visit the home of the Large Hardon Collider, investigating the forefront of particle physics and meeting Imperial researchers trying to answer big questions about the universe.

It is truly fascinating to hear how these animals work and what they are capable of. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I Tanzania används gambianska jättepåsråttor för att sniffa på tbc-sjukas hostprov och ställa diagnos. Samtidigt tränas hundar att nosa upp cancer. Men drömmen är en elektronisk näsa hos doktorn. Charles Joseph från Dar es Salaam fick veta på vårdcentralen Mbagala-Rangi Tatu att hans hostprov var negativt. Men några dagar senare hade organisationen Apopos råttor fått kontroll-lukta på slemmet och funnit tbc-doft. Nu går han på antibiotika som ska göra honom frisk. Dr. Lena Fiebig är chef för Apopos tbc-program i Tanzania, Etiopien och Mozambique säger att en råtta kan gå igenom 100 prov på 20 minuter vilket skulle tagit en labbassistent flera dagar att titta på i mikroskop som dessutom missar fler prov. Daniel Thobias på hjälporganisationen Mukikute ser sedan till att patienterna som fått en tbc-diagnos verkligen återvänder till vårdcentralen för medicin. Men statssekreteraren på hälsodepartementet narkosläkaren dr. Mpoki Ulisubisya tror mer på de dna-avläsningsapparater WHO rekommenderar som GeneXpert. Forskning pågår i många länder kring sjukdomslukt. CNN rapporterar om den israeliska e-näsan Na-nose från Technion som kan diagnosticera 17 sjukdomar och hur Medical Detection Dogs tillsammans med brittiska forskare undersöker hur bra hundar är på att upptäcka bröst- och prostatacancer. Amy Loutfi, professor i informationsteknologi vid Örebro Universitet har forskat om elektroniska näsor i vården och hon tror inte de slår igenom förrän om 30 år. Programmet är en repris från den 22 maj 2018. Johan Bergendorff global hälsokorrespondent Sveriges Radio johan.bergendorff@sr.se

Can dogs smell cancer? Ever since Hippocrates the odour of disease has been used to aid diagnosis but has this simple technique been forgotten? Dr Mark Porter investigates the evidence for whether canine super noses can be used to accurately detect cancer. There have been plenty of anecdotes reported but what about hard science? Studies since 2004 from the Medical Detection Dogs Centre in Milton Keynes have shown convincing results and they've now teamed up with MIT in the US, specialists in 'e-noses'. Could devices the size of a mobile phone be used to sniff for disease?

Medical detection dogs and their implications on nano-technology: The science behind how a dog uses it's sense of smell is being put to use in the medical world. New techniques mimicking this incredible skill could be the clue to detect some diseases earlier. Our students find out how this is being done, meeting a few furry friends along the way!

Whilst Magic - a young golden retriever - may love chasing a stick, curling up on a rug and enjoying a biscuit as much as the next dog, he is certainly no ordinary dog. Trained by Milton Keynes based organisation Medical Detection Dogs, he can sniff out when his owner Claire Pesterfield, a sufferer of Type 1 diabetes, is about to suffer an attack brought on by low blood sugar levels, that could lead to her losing consciousness. By alerting and getting assistance, this extraordinary dog helps Claire lead a more ordinary life.Amelia Perry spoke to Claire, at Addenbrooks Hosptial, where she is... Like this podcast?

Mother Nature Is Trying To Kill You Animal Planet's "Monsters Inside Me" host Dr. Dan Riskin is stirring up the airwaves with the truths about nature's ugly side. No wonder he so entertaining. Maggot eggs got into his brain and he lives to tell you why parasites really rule the world. Animals In Vineyards Sara Bennett's family business, Navarro Vineyards is using little tiny sheep to keep the weeds under control. But that's not the only thing they do. Hal asks the hard-hitting questions, like - "what sound does a sheep make … and isn't that the same sound as a goat?" Pet Food Company Bashes Competitors The makers of BLUE Brand Pet Food Products is being asked to change it's advertising to stop making negative comments about other pet food makers. The company says it will appeal the recommendation by the National Advertising Division. The claim was made by Hill's Pet Nutrition, the maker of Science Diet foods, over ads that were shown on TV, the Internet, in print and on mobile advertising. No More Sniffles The second phase of clinical trials for a new vaccine is done and the results are very promising. If it's successful, you'll take just four doses over a 12-week period to keep your cat allergies at bay for as long as 2-years. Dogs Detect Cancer Before Medical Testing A dog's sense of smell is said to be 200,000 times better than humans. That's why dogs work detecting bombs, drugs and now they're being trained to use those fantastic noses to detect certain health issues, like the moment a person with diabetes starts to have a hyperglycemic incident. Now, researchers at a UK charity, Medical Detection Dogs, are working on training dogs to detect the odor of cancer. More this week
