A local medical practitioner believes misinformation is playing a part in low vaccine uptake for children. It comes as the HSE has launched a campaign to promote the importance of immunisation in protecting babies and children against the lives of measles, whooping cough and mumps. The uptake of primary childhood immunisation has declined across all vaccines since 2020, while HPSC figures show 48 cases of whooping cough and 16 laboratory-confirmed cases of measles have been reported in Ireland so far this year. Clare doctor and Specialist Registrar in Public Health Medicine Dr Emma Kearney says while clinic closures resulting from the pandemic are largely to blame for low uptake, misleading information on social media has resulted in some vaccine hesitancy.

Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah is no stranger to conflict zones, having  spent decades volunteering for medical charities in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq. But the plastic and reconstructive surgeon says his latest experience in Gaza has no parallel. The scale of the current suffering in Gaza, “the intensity, the ferocity, the viciousness, and the deliberate targeting of the hospitals”, he says, was like "a tsunami”.Dr Abu-Sittah travelled to Gaza days after Israel began its bombardment in response to the October 7 attack by Hamas. He remained in the besieged enclave for 43 days, working mainly in northern Gaza as a volunteer for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).He was at Al-Ahli Hospital during the massacre on October 17, 2023, and was among the physicians who spoke to news media, surrounded by blood-stained bodies, in the attack's immediate aftermath. He later gave evidence to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague about what he saw.In this moving interview with Maysa Jalbout, Dr Abu-Sittah shares his experiences of working in Gaza and what it was like knowing his wife and children were watching him caught up in the attacks in real time on social media.Since returning home to the UK, he has announced plans to set up The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund to pay for injured Palestinians to receive medical and rehabilitation treatment in Lebanon.Children have borne the brunt of this latest chapter of conflict in Palestine. Before October 7, there were nearly 200 war-related amputations among young people in Gaza as well as some 2,000 adults living with amputations from earlier conflicts. Dr Abu Sittah says there could now be as many as 5,000 child amputees, with many losing limbs due to an inability to treat what would ordinarily be very salvageable injuries.Children with amputations need new prosthetics every six to eight months as they grow and could require as many as 12 surgeries before they reach adulthood, he explained. In addition to the physical impact of their injuries, their mental health needs are also “life altering”. Dr Abu-Sittah was born in Kuwait after his parents were forced from their homes in Palestine in 1948 and became refugees in Gaza. He studied medicine at the University of Glasgow and after completing his Specialist Registrar training in London, he went on to do fellowships  in Paediatric Craniofacial Surgery and  Cleft Surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Kids and then a fellowship in Trauma Reconstruction at the Royal London Hospital. In 2010 he was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Plastic Surgery).  Dr Abu-Sittah has served as an associate professor and head of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Aesthetic Surgery at the American University of Beirut (AUB) Medical Center,  in 2015, became a founding director of the Conflict Medicine Program at AUB's Global Health Institute, and in March was named Rector of the University of Glasgow.The Impact Room is brought to you by Philanthropy Age and Maysa Jalbout.

Regular listeners will know there is much more to the menopause than hot flushes – but how do hormone changes affect your memory, mood and cognition? This week Dr Louise is joined by Dr Dan Reisel, Specialist Registrar in gynaecology at University College London and Newson Health Clinical Research Lead, to take a closer look at the relationship between hormones and brain health. Dr Dan says awareness is improving, but researchers must up their game when it comes to studying the female brain. While mood and memory symptoms are common in menopause, too often, studies focus on male brains as they don't want to deal with the complexity of female sex hormones, he adds. Dr Dan's three take home tips:  1. If you're going through the perimenopause or menopause and struggling with symptoms, don't just accept how you feel. Seek out options for treatment such as HRT that can improve your symptoms. 2. Become an advocate for better care for women going through the menopause – speak to your friends, healthcare professionals and colleagues about your experiences. 3. If you are offered the chance to take part in research seize that opportunity to make your voice heard and improve the experience for women in the future.

Helen Donohoe speaks to people suffering the effects of 'long Covid'; Dr. Liam Townsend, Specialist Registrar of Infectious Diseases St James's Hospital, says one year on from the start of the pandemic there are a number of patients who still have persistent symptoms.

Visual hallucinations, the sensation of seeing objects that are not really there, are common in Parkinson’s disease, occurring in 40-70% of affected individuals. They are often distressing and are associated with worse quality of life and higher carer burden and are the single best predictor of nursing home placement. But despite their impact, the mechanisms leading to visual hallucinations are not understood and there are currently no effective treatments. This lecture will explain how looking at the brain as a network, rather than separate regions, can help us better understand how changes in brain structure and wiring that are seen in the brains of people with Parkinson’s disease affect brain function and lead to the development of hallucinations.

Other factors linked to the disorder are environmental triggers.How does ADHD present?There is usually a high level of activity along with a lack of attention and challenges around impulsiveness.It can be seen in a variety of way, lack of focus for a task, poor planning, jumping from task to task and not listening to instructions.In each of the subgroups, there will be a more dominant behaviour exhibitedWhen the individual is observed closely the other behaviours become more visible.How is ADHD diagnosed?There are a lot of aspects that need to be identified. Usually, a diagnosis requires reports from 2 separate settings often the home and school or work. Observations from different professionals form the basis of a multi-disciplinary meeting where the individual expectations and the support that can be offered is reviewed.This process can be lengthy but when a diagnosis is made the next step is to offer interventions that will support the individual with daily challenges.It’s very important for everyone around the individual to understand the disorder and the difficulties they are experiencing.BEST MOMENTS‘It is more common in boys’‘It is very common for these individuals to have a lack of any sense of danger’‘Most teenagers are disorganised and it’s important to differentiate this’‘When they don’t understand what they have been asked to do they cannot focus’‘Someone who is anxious can be quite fidgety’‘Certain environments and triggers can make children feel uncomfortable’‘You want them to achieve the best they can’‘In different age groups, there are different presentations’‘Just break the activity into small chunks’VALUABLE RESOURCEShttps://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/our-mental-health-matters-podcast/id1440736608?mt=2ABOUT THE HOSTDr Omalade Amaka Abuah is a Specialist Registrar in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the National Health Service (NHS).

“Is your kid acting ‘not normal’ or entirely different from his peers? Will these kinds of behaviour still persist when he reaches adulthood?”In this episode of Our Mental Health Matters Podcast, Dr Lade removes all the worry you’ve been cramming up inside your head regarding your child’s display of quirkiness. Discover the two common types of neurodevelopmental disorders: ADHD and autism. Learn what their symptoms, their causes, and their treatments are.It’s better to use the term ‘different’ rather than ‘not normal’ for the observed traits of your kid. Dr Lade also advises seeking help from a when you’re noticing not-so-typical behaviour and activities from your kid. There will be challenges along the way, so it’s better to be knowledgeable and understand what he’s going through. In this way, we know how to adjust and adapt to his environment.KEY TAKEAWAYSParents hastily decide that their children are not normal and link their kid’s indifference to New Developmental Disorders. A child can be different from his peers and the people in his environment, but that does not necessarily mean he has a new developmental disorder.The two common types of neurodevelopmental Disorders are Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and autism.Autism has a wide spectrum. “It’s a broad term as used for disorders for kids who have an impairment to their social interaction. They have an impairment in communication. They also have stereotypical behaviour, interests, or activities.”ADHD is characterised by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The traits are usually seen before the age of 6. Kids younger than 5 usually have this.Rather than prematurely categorise the observed traits before going to a specialist, it helps to focus on helping the child and his loved ones be knowledgeable on what they’re going through. It’s easier to cope with what they’re struggling with.Diagnosis with a specialist is very important. The specialist goes through the child’s history going back from since he was born.Autism will persist all through a child’s life, so it’s better to be ready early on of the challenges the kid and his family will go through. With ADHD, it’s not persistent until adulthood for all children.Is there any cause for both of the disorders? No.BEST MOMENTS“I generally tend to advocate when people are not typical like others to say that they’re different rather than say they’re not normal.”“With autism, it’s more diagnosed on boys because girls are naturally more sociable and compensate with it.”“They can find ways. They can find help from professionals on how to adjust themselves, adapt their lifestyles, and get a life around their struggles and difficulties.”ABOUT THE HOSTDr Omalade Amaka Abuah is a Specialist Registrar in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the National Health Service (NHS).

Have you noticed that when the weather changes, your mood also changes? Some call it just the ‘winter blues’. It could be it, but it could also be something more than that.In this episode of Our Mental Health Matters Podcast, Dr Lade discusses everything you need to know about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Some might see the relationship between the weather and how it affects our mental health preposterous. It’s time to know about it so you could seek help for you or the individuals around you who suffer from SAD.Discover its symptoms, causes and the treatments for it. You may notice lack of motivation, increased appetite and so on with individuals suffering from SAD. One of the recommended procedures is light therapy, where individuals are exposed to artificial light. Make sure to tune in to hear about the other more treatments you could try, which you need to consult with your clinician.KEY TAKEAWAYSSeasonal affective disorder (SAD) statistics:It’s more common in women than in men, with up to a ratio of 3 to 1.It’s less common in men and children.Out of 100 people in the UK, 3 are affected with SAD.Lack of motivation and reduced interest in the usual hobbies that you normally do are a few symptoms of SAD.Medications for SAD is based on the individual and will be decided between the individual and their clinician.One of the treatments for SAD is light therapy where individuals are exposed to artificial light that doesn’t have the UV rays of the sun. This can help you lower your dose of antidepressants.Dr Lade advises that you don’t look at the light directly. And she doesn’t recommend it for people who have bipolar disorder.Plan outdoor activities, like walking or cycling, that will help the individuals suffering from SAD increase their daily energy levels and produce hormones that will make them feel better.With increased appetite, monitor your caloric intake. Ask dieticians what could be the best diet and meal plans for you.BEST MOMENTS“It’s good to have a good talk with a clinician in deciding which medications will be best for you.”“SAD is related to exposure to light during winter months which affect the mood, sleep, and appetite.”“It’s good to have a daily activity planned with your loved ones.”ABOUT THE HOSTDr Omalade Amaka Abuah is a Specialist Registrar in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the National Health Service (NHS).
