Two weeks into the election campaign, both major political parties have already fallen foul of section 44 of the Constitution - barring dual citizens from being elected into parliament.  But in a country often lauded as the most successful multicultural nation on earth, Professor Saunders says there's no doubt the section poses a problem.

This week on Wellbeing, we begin a series looking at Alcohol Use Disorder (formally known as alcoholism). Our first guest of this five-part series is Professor John B. Saunders, a consultant physician in internal medicine and addiction medicine. In 1989, through The World Health Organisation, Professor Saunders developed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the most widely used alcohol screening test in the world. In this episode, he defines what alcohol is, how it effects and changes the brain, how long alcohol use disorder takes to develop, and how it affects people differently. Tune in next week for Prof. Saunders's second episode looking into this topic. We would love to hear from you!

Breast cancer treatments often involve a combination of radiation, surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy or targeted therapy. Radiation therapy for breast cancer can entail a number of visits, over a number of weeks. But what if I was to say, for suitable cases one targeted dose of radiotherapy can now be delivered directly into the breast, at the time a person is undergoing breast cancer surgery. Today on Meditalk we speak with Professor Saunders a Breast Cancer Surgeon from St John of God Hospital in Subiaco about Intraoperative Radiotherapy.

October in Australia is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Australian women, with 1 in 8 women being diagnosed by the age of 85. Over the years, thanks to Australia's national breast cancer screening program, public health campaigns and more effective treatments being offered there has been significant improvements in early diagnosis and breast cancer survival rates. However, despite these positive factors every day we still have 42 Australian women being diagnosed and 7 women will lose their life to breast cancer. So why do women get breast cancer? What are the risk factors and warning signs women should be aware of to seek out medical advice? Are there ways we can reduce our risk of breast cancer? Should we still be proactively checking our breasts for lumps? Why are seeing young and older women being diagnosed with breast cancer? How young should women be breast aware? What are the most effective ways of treating breast cancer? What is the latest in breast cancer research? Today on Meditalk we speak with Professor Christobel Saunders who is recognised as one of Australia's most prominent research orientated cancer surgeons consulting at St John of God Hospital in Subiaco. In 2017, Professor Saunders won the Premier's Science Award for Scientist of the Year which recognised her outstanding achievements in breast cancer research which continue to greatly help the lives of people affected by cancer. In this interview Professor Saunders answers many questions about breast cancer to assist us to become better informed and breast cancer aware. If you found this interview of value it would be greatly appreciated if you could take a minute of your time to provide a review on Apple Podcasts / iTunes and more importantly share this podcast episode with your mum, your sister, your best friend or work collegue. So around the world women become more breast cancer aware! As gaining knowledge is a powerful start to preventing and surviving disease!

In a world of iPhones, social media, video games, and the latest technology, teenagers and children are captivated by the allure of media and technology. After the recent school shooting in Florida, the topic of video game violence and its impact on children and teenagers was addressed at a listening session at the White House. In searching for answers behind the shooting, President Trump suggested that violent video games be regulated. In the 2011 Supreme Court ruling of Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, it was decided that California law restricting sales of violent video games to minors violated the right to free speech. On Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host Craig Williams and Bob Ambrogi join Cheryl Olson, internationally-known researcher on video game violence, and Professor Kevin W. Saunders, author of the book Violence as Obscenity: Limiting the Media's First Amendment Protection, to discuss regulation of video game violence, the Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association 2011 ruling, the Supreme Court, and the impact of video games on children and teenagers. Cheryl K. Olson is an internationally known expert on using media to change behavior (promoting mental and physical health) and effects of electronic media on children. Cheryl co-founded the Center for Mental Health and Media at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Professor Kevin W. Saunders is the Charles Clarke Chair in Constitutional Law at Michigan State University College of Law. Professor Saunders is the author of two books, “Violence as Obscenity: Limiting the Media's First Amendment Protection and “Saving Our Children from the First Amendment.”

Thank you for listening to this podcast, where Frontline Gastroenterology Trainee Editor Dr Philip Smith talks to Professor Brian Saunders, Consultant Gastroenterologist, St. Mark’s Hospital and Adjunct Professor of Endoscopy at Imperial College. The podcast is an accompaniment to the Frontline Gastroenterology Special #EndoLive Twitter Debate (#FGDebate) held on Tuesday 3rd March 2015, 8-9pm GMT, entitled 'Frontline Endoscopy: Polypectomy – tips, tricks and which polyps to remove endoscopically'. Prior to the debate Professor Saunders said: “Colonoscopic polypectomy has become the most commonly performed therapeutic procedure in gastroenterology practice. Used correctly it is a powerful tool in cancer prevention and can significantly reduce the morbidity from traditional surgery. Training in polypectomy is highly variable and poor technique may lead to incomplete polyp resections and the risk of interval cancers. Complete and safe polyp resection requires an understanding of basic principles of anatomy, polyp pathology, the application of diathermy and the recognition and management of complications. Although most polyps are small and easily managed with tried and tested snare techniques, larger lesions can be more challenging and potentially hazardous to remove with the endoscope. In recent years patient-centred, multidisciplinary meetings (Polyp MDT’s) have been helpful in tailoring therapeutic strategy. Options for resection include piecemeal EMR, ESD or hybrid techniques such as laparoscopically assisted polypectomy or trans-anal submucosal endoscopic resection (TASER). This Twitter debate aims to share key guidance on the approach to lesion recognition, appropriate selection and delivery of polypectomy techniques and prevention and management of polypectomy complications. A unique feature will be the opportunity to upload polyp images for discussion and debate.” The purpose of the podcast is to 'fill any gaps' the #FGDebate may have left. Professor Saunders has also provided the slides he used in #FGDebate to help those interested understand the issues associated with polypectomy and polyp management. We hope you enjoy this and that it is informative.
