This week, SurfingNASH is offering conversation segments to showcase our new series, The NASH Tsunami in Diabetes: Getting Ahead of the Rising Tide. Rising Tide, as we call it, is a subscription-only series targeted at the primary care physicians, endocrinologists and allied health professionals who provide front-line treatments for patients living with Type 2 Diabetes and/or obesity.This sample session comes from the debut episode which focuses on research that has led AACE to issue guidelines, AGA to propose clinical care pathways and AHA to produce a white paper on the links between Fatty Liver Disease and CVD Risk. Endocrinology researcher and key opinion leader Ken Cusi discusses his work looking at NAFLD and NASH in diabetic patient populations. He covers studies confirming that patients with diabetes are at least twice as likely to have NAFLD or NASH as non-diabetics. He notes that this effect is confirmed in overweight as well as obese patients and is proven independent of obesity (an important note: the two together are worse than either alone). In practical terms, he asserts that primary care and endocrinology clinics are the places we can identify NAFLD and early NASH before these become later-stage fibrosis or cirrhosis requiring attention from hepatologists. In that context, he notes that twice as many patients in an endocrinology clinic will test positive for NAFLD or NASH compared to a primary care clinic, thus making endocrinologists a vital target group for earlier identification and treatment of Fatty Liver Disease. In his practice, Ken advocates for every patient to receive a FIB-4 test, which can be found in most EMR systems and is an inexpensive, reasonably reliable negative predictor for F3 or F4 status.Next, hepatology researcher and key opinion leader Kathleen Corey discusses some of her research on the link between CVD and NAFLD. Two key conclusions: over a relatively short period after initial induction into the study (median of 25.5 months), the presence of NAFLD causes a 70% increase in relative risk (4.1% vs. 2.6%) of a Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE). She agrees with Ken's suggestion about FIB-4. She also notes the trend of primary care physicians to discontinue statins if the patient's ALT level starts to rise and cautions that this step is likely to increase patient risk.Finally, Kay Pepin, Director of Research Translation for Resoundant Inc. under joint appointment with the Mayo Clinic, discusses research demonstrating that a relatively simple MRE session can provide the information necessary to determine the likelihood that fibrosis will advance to cirrhosis or compensated cirrhosis will advance to decompensated states. She also notes that with insurance coverage, this is not an expensive test for many people. By adding a simple MRI module to the MRE session, physicians can derive a significant amount of additional information.If you enjoy this preview, please visit our website and sign up to listen to the full episode and more exclusive content.

Dr. Noel Chambers is the CEO of the National Foundation for Medical Research and Innovation in Australia. Dr. Chambers has worked in the medical research field for more than 30 years. He started as a researcher at the University of Sydney, where he commercialized his diabetes research before moving into industry, where he's held senior positions in research and business development. He has also taken the role of CEO at listed and unlisted biotechnology companies. For ten years, he's been applying philanthropy to assist research translation. In this episode… Every foundation has the ultimate purpose of delivering benefits to communities, but they all do it differently. In the case of the National Foundation for Medical Research and Innovation (NFMRI), they support hospitals and research institutions' studies that may lead to new products, drugs, devices, diagnostics, vaccines, and others. They're also helping hospitals and institutions to connect their discoveries with their potential next step partners. But what does research translation entail and who are the next step partners? And more importantly, what questions do you need to have answers to in order to attract the support of NFMRI in order to translate your medical research to get next-level partners? In this episode of the Philanthropy212 as Penny Cowden talks to Dr. Noel Chambers of the National Foundation for Medical Research and Innovation (NFMRI) about the NFMRI mission of connecting institutions with the right next step partner for them, what next step partners are meant to do, and more. Stay tuned.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of infrastructure in Australia’s economic recovery and what the future holds for major projects in the wake of COVID-19.It was key to Australia’s economic recovery from the Global Financial Crisis, but what is the role of infrastructure as the country manages the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic? With delays, cancellations, and mothballing costing billions, how can policymakers ensure they consult appropriately to get projects right? And with suburbia acting as the new CBD due to health restrictions and business closures, what will future infrastructure projects look like as we all continue to live with the impacts of COVID-19? On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, we speak to Associate Professor Sara Bice and Kirsty O’Connell about how to get infrastructure policy right, and its importance in post-coronavirus economic recovery.Dr Sara Bice is Co-Director of Research Translation at the Melbourne School of Government and Senior Research Fellow at Crawford School of Public Policy.Kirsty O'Connell is Industry Director for the Next Generation Engagement Program and Director of The Engagement People.Martyn Pearce is a presenter for Policy Forum Pod and the Editor of Policy Forum.Policy Forum Pod is available on Acast, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Subscribe on Android or wherever you get your podcasts.

According to the Australian Government and the World Health Organisation, children under two should have zero screen time. But Dr Kate Highfield, General Manager of Professional Learning and Research Translation at Early Childhood Australia, thinks that’s overly simplistic and unrealistic. Kate explains how complex screen use in young children has become, and the difference between healthy and unhealthy screen time. Kate has more information on screens and the under twos on the Early Childhood Australia blog. Dr Kristy Goodwin's website can be found here.

In part 2 of our interview, myself and Nicole chat about one of the biggest areas of improvement in our field, improving the communication of our research. We chat about establishing relationships with physicians and oncologists along with educating health professionals on working the cancer patients and survivors. See what Nicole’s up to at www.thrivehealthservices.com or follow her on twitter @NCulosReed. Find out more about us at www.reachbeyondcancer.com or find me on twitter @ciaranfairman.
Nicole is a Professor at the University of Calgary who focuses on physical activity for cancer survivors. In this episode, we chat about head and neck cancer, and some of the challenging side effects of the cancer and its treatment. Due to its location, cancer-related cachexia is common concern, along with some of the real difficulties and pain with just eating a meal, and how these affect exercise decisions. Interestingly, HPV is such a common risk factor for Head and Neck cancer, that there are two separate types of HN cancer – HPV related on non-HPV related. We chat about the implications of this and how to reduce your overall risk. Finally, we chat about our shared frustration in the translation of research into practice and how our research lines differ from the advice we give in a clinic. If you’re in the Calgary area and are interested in getting involved in a research study, check out Nicole’s Lab at: https://www.ucalgary.ca/healthandwellnesslab/people/dr-culos-reed Learn more about Nicole’s Thrive Health Services here: http://thrivehealthservices.com/about-us/ and check out Nicole on twitter @NCulosReed.
