In the previous episode we heard how some rationally-designed therapies work on almost any cancer with the right molecular signature. Tumour-agnostic medications could be godsend for patients with rare cancers which have classically been overlooked by drug developers, and those with advanced cancers of unknown origin. 15,000 such patients have undergone comprehensive genome profiling of their tumours through the organisation, Omico. In this podcast, Omico's founder explains that while the majority have received recommendations about matched therapies, clinical trials are typically the only way to enable access. Professor David Thomas discusses why Australia's Health Technology Assessment process appears to be so conservative and how the market price of next-generation oncotherapies might be brought down by changes across the local ecosystem. Guest Prof David Thomas FRACP PhD (Director, Centre for Molecular Oncology UNSW; Founder and Chief of Science, Omico) Professor Thomas or Omico have received grants, consultancies or research support from Roche, Astra Zeneca, Pfizer, Eisai, Illumina, Beigene , Elevation Oncology, RedX Pharmaceuticals, SunPharma , Bayer, George Clinical, Novotech , Merck Sharpe and Dohme, Boehringer Ingelheim, Hummingbird, Microba , BioTessellate , PMV Pharma, Australian Unity and Foundation Medicine.

The genomic understanding of cancer has transformed a tissue-based classification model that had been dominant for 150 years or more. The last three decades have seen highly targeted therapies developed at blistering pace, and unprecedented improvements in patient outcomes. To date, these advances have been focused on more common cancers. The financing model for drug development means that rare cancers get overlooked, given the small pool of potential buyers relative to the costs and risks of investment. However, the molecular targets characterised in more common cancers are often found in cancers of a different histotype. As such, precision therapies will sometimes have tissue-agnostic efficacy and offer a lifeline for patients with neglected diseases or cancers of unknown origin. Professor David Thomas has founded an NGO called Omico to enable such patients to undergo profiling for hundreds of potential molecular targets. In this interview he explains the rationale for the most promising pan cancer therapies, and in the next episode we discuss changes to the regulatory and funding model required to sustain this screening program.

Our understanding of infectious disease and pathology stems from the 19th century with Robert Koch pioneering research. Dr Koch help to shaped modern microbiology and medicine when he identified the causative agents for anthrax and tuberculosis. Since that time, the number of infectious microorganisms that we know of that cause illness and diseases has increased exponentially. Thanks to modern day techniques, laboratories can test for these agents directly or indirectly and get an answer often within hours. As such, microbiology is on the verge of a new era. Instead of the principle of one test: one micro-organism, we are moving into the realm where one test can detect hundreds of potential pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in a single stool sample. The new test is called Metapanel. This includes 175 gene targets using metagenomics (shotgun gene sequencing) and is able to detect bacteria, viruses, helminths, protozoa, fungi, microsporidia. This information is collated and reported by a pathologist and advice given as to what is the implications of the result. The test is ideally suited for patients with chronic diarrhoea, inflammatory bowel disease and/or inflammatory bowel syndrome. This is the story of advanced faeces testing and Metapanel ** Please note: General Practitioners in Australia, will be able to claim CPD points after listening to this episode. Full details and registration, coming shortly. Our special guest: Dr Michael Wehrhahn is the Director of Molecular Biology and Infectious serology at Douglass Hanly Moir Pathology.

Vivimos en un mundo de bacterias. Fueron los primeros seres vivos que surgieron en el planeta hace 3600 millones de años, en las fumarolas volcánicas del fondo de los océanos o en los charcos calientes. Están en todos los ambientes, desde el borde de los volcanes hasta las plataformas heladas de los polos. Y también en nuestro cuerpo: tenemos 100 billones de células microbianas, 10 veces más que células humanas. El humano promedio traga un billón de bacterias cada día. Y solo en nuestra boca habitan más de 600 especies. Ellas nos defienden, educan el sistema inmune, nos ayudan a procesar los alimentos e incluso modifican emociones y comportamientos. Solo algunas causan enfermedades y, aunque tenemos antibióticos, las bacterias más dañinas se hacen cada vez más resistentes. ¿La infección común se volverá mortal? Neumonía, tuberculosis, septicemia, gonorrea, infecciones urinarias o enfermedades de transmisión alimentaria, entre otras, son cada vez más difíciles —y a veces imposibles— de tratar. En los últimos años se han atribuido directamente a las bacterias resistentes alrededor de 23.000 muertes anuales en estados unidos y más de 25.000 en la unión europea. El abuso de los antibióticos médicos y veterinarios ha hecho que esté en riesgo su eficacia. ¿Cómo contener esta resistencia? ¿Cómo puede la vacunación protegernos de enfermedades? Oye en este podcast —disponible en Spotify, iVoox o tu plataforma favorita— una conversación en la que abordamos estas y otras preguntas con Natalia Jiménez Quiceno, M.Sc. y Ph.D. en ciencias básicas biomédicas, coordinadora de la línea de epidemiología molecular bacteriana, grupo Microba, escuela de microbiología UdeA.

February is Gut Health Month. This month I am focusing on your gut health after weight loss surgery. There is some literature around gut health and bariatric surgery, however more research is needed. In this episode, I speak about a subgroup of nutrients called flavonoids. Flavio-what? You ask? Bear with me. These groups of nutrients are so potent in their ability to be anti inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-aging. Sounds good right?Weight loss surgery significantly changes your gut health and bacteria population. I dive deep into the use of flavonoids as a way to change this gut bacteria to support your metabolism. Here is the Literature Referenced for this month's content: Dietary flavan-3-ols intake and metabolic syndrome risk in Korean adults Anthocyanidins and anthocyanins: colored pigments as food, pharmaceutical ingredients, and the potential health benefits The Thinking on FlavonoidsA review of FlavonoidsFlavonoids: an overviewThe effects of bariatric surgery on gut microbiota in patients with obesity: a review of the literature; PMID: 30705797 Longitudinal changes of microbiome composition and microbial metabolomics after surgical weight loss in individuals with obesityRoux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Induce Long-Term Changes on the Human Gut Microbiome Contributing to Fat Mass Regulation What are Flavonoids?Microbiome dynamics in obesityDr Kaylyn Tousignant 2020; Microba; Microbial diversity: The key to improving gut healthLet's chat: Work with me 1:1 by learning about my coaching: https://simpleandeasynutrition.com/apply.html Website: https://www.thebariatriccollective.com.au/ Instagram: @thebariatriccollective Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebariatriccollective Email: suraya@thebariatriccollective.com.au Free Downloads: Causes of Weight Regain Graphic Download a Free Three Day Meal Plan with Recipes DISCLAIMER The advice provided in the podcast is general in nature and is not intended to constitute or substitute for dietetics, nutrition, professional or medical advice.

US stocks slid at the closing bell of the midweek session as investors shifted focus back to corporate earnings reports and away from dovish comments by Fed Chair Jerome Powell about the future of US cash rate hikes amid slowing economic growth.Lumen Technologies tanked more than 20% after reporting a fourth-quarter loss of US$3.1bn and provided guidance for the year that fell well short of Wall St expectations. Disney on the other hand reported results after the closing bell that topped analysts' expectations including a loss of US$1.05bn which was less than Wall Street had predicted, earnings per share of 99 cps, well above the expected 78 cents per share, revenue of US$23.61bn and total Disney+ subscriptions of 161.1m which declined by around 2.4million on the back of a recent price increase. The Dow Jones fell 0.61%, the S&P500 tumbled 1.11%, and the Nasdaq lost 1.68% on Wednesday.Over in Europe markets rallied on Wednesday following dovish comments from Fed chair Jerome Powell as well as investors digesting mixed corporate earnings reports. Jewellery company Pandora rose 12% on upbeat earnings results including quarterly sales hitting 9.9 billion Danish Crowns or $1.43 billion dollars, and annual sales around 26bn in 2022. The UK's FTSE100 hit an intraday record high before paring back gains to close the day up 0.3%. In Germany, the DAX added 0.6% while the French CAC fell 0.18% on Wednesday. What to watch today:Taking a look at commodities today, crude oil is trading 1.57% higher at US$78.35/barrel, gold is flat at US$1874/ounce and iron ore is trading down 0.8% at US$124.50/tonne.The Aussie dollar is buying US$0.69, 90.97 Japanese yen, 57.56 British pence, and NZ$1.10.Ahead of the local trading session the market is expected to open 0.42% lower following the sell-off on Wall St overnight.On the economic data front today, there is no local economic data out today however investors will be awaiting the release of the RBA statement on Monetary Policy out tomorrow. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has increased the price target on Microba Life Sciences (ASX:MAP) from $0.40 to $0.60 following the execution of an exclusive distribution agreement with Luminary Health Centres to distribute a microbiome test powered by Microba's testing technology, to consumers in the US. Bell Potter sees the deal has locked in revenue for the next 12-months and is the driver of the price target increase for Microba.Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on Race Oncology (ASX:RAC) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 36-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from the close of $2.05 to the range of $2.15-$2.19 according to standard principles of technical analysis.
February is Gut Health Month. This month I am focusing on your gut health after weight loss surgery. There is some literature around gut health and bariatric surgery, however more research is needed. In this episode, I explain the basics of your gut. There is over 95 trillion species of bacteria in the gut from the mouth all the way through to the anus. Gut diversity has a strong influence on health and risk of disease. Struggling with obesity may mean that you have had a historically low diversity of your gut bacteria.Weight loss surgery is a strong catalyst for change in the gut bacteria. The effects may not be sustained, which further research is needed. However, I question whether this has a role in weight regain after bariatric surgery. I also provide you with three practical strategies that you can implement today to support your gut health. Here is the Literature Referenced for this month's content: The effects of bariatric surgery on gut microbiota in patients with obesity: a review of the literature; PMID: 30705797; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30705797/ Longitudinal changes of microbiome composition and microbial metabolomics after surgical weight loss in individuals with obesity: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soard.2019.05.038 Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Induce Long-Term Changes on the Human Gut Microbiome Contributing to Fat Mass Regulation; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26244932/ What are Flavonoids? https://www.livescience.com/52524-flavonoids.html#:~:text=Flavonoids%20are%20a%20diverse%20group,with%20more%20than%206%2C000%20types.

In episode 248 of The Real Food Reel we are joined by Senior Scientist and Research Officer with biotech company Microba, Dr Alena Pribyl. In today's episode, we explore microbiome testing technology, how it has evolved over the years and what makes shotgun metagenomic sequencing so remarkable. You will learn how one smear sample can tell you so much about your health, the significance of microbial metabolites, how poor digestive capacity may be explored, markers of inflammation, what it means to have high levels of human DNA identified and so much more. Dr Pribyl is an absolute wealth of knowledge and I hope this episode inspires you to have your microbiome tested and remove the guess work when it come to your health.

The influence of our guts on our broader, holistic health is more significant than one might think, as Microba senior scientist and research officer Alena Pribyl explains on this week's episode of The Wellness Daily Show. In conversation with host Jerome Doraisamy, Ms Pribyl explains what we mean by gut health and gut microbiome, what to look for in a health microbiome, the dangers of not taking proper care of our guts and what we can do to ensure a healthier approach for our physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing.
In episode 237 of The Real Food Reel we are joined by Kirsty Wirth from Kultured Wellness to discuss mapping your gut microbiome. We explore the technology we have had access to, to date, and its limitations including culturing, PCR and 16s RNA. We then discuss the newest technology, shot-gun metagenomic sequencing and how this provides much greater functional insight and therefore, clinical relevance. We then dive deeper into Microba's insight report and the importance of microbiome metabolites for optimal digestive, metabolic and nervous system health.
