Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog, Kam explores whether dementia could be understood as a form of accelerated brain ageing. Drawing on neuropathological evidence and the concept of biological age, she discusses the continuum between normal ageing and neurodegenerative disease, the role of risk and protective factors, and the potential of brain age measurement for early prediction of dementia. The blog also urges caution in relying solely on biomarkers for diagnosis, and argues for a more nuanced understanding of brain health across the lifespan.

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog Kamar discusses the inequalities in access to new Alzheimer's disease treatments following the UK approval of lecanemab and donanemab in 2024. Although these drugs were hailed as a breakthrough, they were not recommended for NHS use due to their high cost, limited efficacy, and safety concerns, meaning only those who can afford private treatment will benefit. This decision disproportionately affects lower socioeconomic groups, who are already at greater risk of developing dementia - not to mention others in low and middle income countries. With nearly a million people living with dementia in the UK, Kam stresses the need for a healthcare system capable of delivering future treatments equitably.

Today we're diving into how nutrition intersects with the complicated world of pain. Today I have former guest and colleague Prof. Dr Deepak Ravindran to talk to us about how our immune system can impact our perception of pain, the different types of pain patients and how we can do better as medical professionals in the management of chronic pain.This topic covers IBS, pelvic pain, chronic cystitis, fibromyalgia, migraine, functional gut disorders, long covid and more. Pain cannot be explained by a singular pathway, and I think there is so much we could all learn from Deepak's insights on this topic.We discuss the different types of pain patients, how the immune system trains our responses to pain, how trauma in childhood can impact our responses to pain and why food plays a pivotal role.Deepak is Honorary Professor at Teesside University and has worked as an NHS Consultant in Pain management, he's author of the “Pain Free Mindset” a fantastic book that I recommend to both patients and medical colleagues. His new role is Director of Lifestyle Medicine for a primary care network (PCN) of GP practices in Reading, UK, working upstream to bring these insights early in the chain of pain management.We talk about the use of fasting, anti-inflammatory diets, the importance of gut supportive diets and key ingredients that could be useful for chronic pain sufferers.

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. The blog discusses Functional Cognitive Disorder (FCD), a condition that mimics dementia due to overlapping clinical symptoms such as cognitive impairment. While FCD shares similarities with dementia, including changes in memory and thinking, a key difference is that FCD is not degenerative. Unlike dementia, where brain cells are progressively lost, FCD involves dysfunction in how brain cells function and communicate. Diagnosis of FCD is complex, as it can sometimes be mistaken for dementia, but it should be based on identifying unique clinical features, such as internal inconsistency in cognitive performance. Improving diagnostic specificity is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment for those with non-disease-related cognitive impairments like FCD​ Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-mimicking-dementia-what-is-functional-cognitive-disorder/ -- Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali is a Lecturer in Biomedical Science at Teesside University & Affiliate Researcher at Glasgow University.

Dr Deepak Ravindran is a Consultant in Pain Medicine and an Honorary Professor at Teesside University, with 20 years' experience playing leading roles in the NHS. He is pioneering fresh non-drug approaches to pain management that, alongside traditional methods such as drugs, surgery or ablation, espouse a range of complementary and lifestyle modalities that have been shown to be effective. Dr Ravindran highlights flawed thinking in regard to the nature of pain and the overpowering fear factors around pain as obstacles to a different style of management in which the provision of a safe space allows pain to subside naturally.

These days, top athletes are breaking fewer and fewer world records. But why is this occurring, and does it mean that we are close to reaching the limits of human sporting performance? In this episode, we catch up with Dr Jonathan Taylor, a senior lecturer in sport and exercise at Teesside University. He tells us the role our genes play in our athletic performance, the limits our musculature and cardiovascular systems play, and why it's unlikely to mean that we'll lose interest in playing and watching sports anytime soon.

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Kamar's blog explores the critical issue of the lack of diversity in academia, particularly within STEM fields, and the role of role models in addressing these disparities. Highlighting the specific challenges faced by women and racial/ethnic minorities, she discusses the importance of role models who reflect diverse demographic characteristics to inspire and guide underrepresented groups. Kamar argues that having role models in senior academic positions can help challenge the status quo and break the cycle of underrepresentation, thus fostering a more inclusive and diverse academic environment. Her insights underscore the significant impact that relatable role models can have on the career trajectories of individuals in academia, especially in fields like dementia research where women are disproportionately affected yet underrepresented in senior roles.

Tom Blenkinsop was born  in Middlesbrough, brought-up in Marton and graduated from Teesside University with a BSc in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and the University of Warwick with an MA in Continental philosophy.Tom joined  the Army Reserve in 2017 in the Royal Military Police in which he still serves today, and was an MP whilst training to be an RMP, something we explore in this episode.Tom worked as a constituency researcher for Ashok Kumar, Labour MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, from 2002 to 2008. He became a campaign manager for the Community Trade Union in 2008 and continued in the role until his election to Parliament in 2010.Tom was selected as the Labour candidate for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland in April 2010, following Ashok Kumar's unexpected death the previous month. He was elected at the May 2010 general election. In his first Parliamentary term, he was a member of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee from 2010 to 2012, the Standards and Privileges Committee from 2010 to 2011 and the Treasury Select Committee in 2011. He joined the opposition front bench under the leadership of Ed Miliband, serving as a whip from 2011 to 2015.He was re-elected at the 2015 general election. During his second Parliamentary term, he was a member of the Energy and Climate Change Committee from 2015 to 2016, the Privileges Committee from 2015 to 2017, the Standards Committee from 2015 to 2017, and the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee from 2016 to 2017.After the calling of the 2017 general election, Blenkinsop announced that we would not seek re-election as an MP as he could not campaign for Labour whilst Corbyn served as party leader.  Again, this is something we discuss at length in the podcast.Blenkinsop returned to the Community union as a London-based project manager after leaving Parliament, and became a public affairs advisor for the Federation of Small Business in 2020. We thank Tom for sharing his story with us!Support the show✅Support The Show Help Us Grow!

It's not every day you get to chat to an ACTUAL Lioness, but in this week's episode, my guest is the epic Beth Mead. England and Arsenal footballer Beth was the top goalscorer in the UEFA Euros 2022, which saw England crowned champions - their first international trophy since the 1966 Men's FIFA World Cup. She was also named Player of the Tournament and has since won BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2022. In February 2022 she launched the Beth Mead Scholarship with Teesside University to support students who have the potential to reach professional level in women's football. Her book - Roar - is an inspirational handbook for readers aged 7+ who want to find and play the sport they love and achieve their dreams. Beth chats to me about her childhood, how her parents encouraged and supported her love of football, what she's learned along the way and how she's used her recent injury to motivate her, despite it meaning she can't play in the upcoming World Cup.Roar is out now in bookshops and you can follow Beth on Instagram.If you enjoyed this episode then please leave a rating or review - and you can follow the podcast to ensure you don't miss future episodes.

On this week's episode, Rob Parsons takes a closer look at hydrogen. Don't worry, it's not a chemistry lesson - but a beginner's guide to how the most abundant chemical element in the universe could hold the key to creating thousands of jobs all across the North. The Northern Agenda editor speaks to two experts from Teesside University so that hopefully when you hear politicians talking about hydrogen and net zero on the news in the coming weeks, you'll know what they're talking about. Dr Venkatesan Venkata Krishnan, a senior lecturer in chemical engineering, and Professor Nashwan Dawood from the Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre, explain just why hydrogen could be so important for the region.   *** And a new report by the Onward think tank and Northern Research Group of Tory MPs says Northern football clubs are under threat with areas set to lose the “lifeblood” of their communities without Government intervention. It's a particularly timely report as this week the first details have emerged of what's being described as the biggest shake-up in football ownership in years. The Football White Paper, expected to be published as early as next week, follows a fan-led review into the beautiful game in November 2021. But will it be enough to save more clubs from following the grim fate of clubs like Bury, who were expelled from the league in 2019 and have still yet to return, or Bolton and Wigan, whose very future was thrown into doubt after being placed into administration? Alex Luke, Senior Researcher at Onward, joins Rob on the podcast to discuss the new report. *** The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach.

Herculaneum MysteryGuest: Tim Thompson, forensic anthropologist and Professor of Applied Biological Anthropology at Teesside University, UKThe eruption of Mt. Vesuvius left many mysteries in its wake, not the least of which were found on the beaches of Herculaneum. Forensic anthropologists are making new discoveries about the way the victims in the seaside town died. Mt. Vesuvius and the Destruction of PompeiiGuest: Roger Macfarlane, Professor of Classical Studies at Brigham Young University The last days of Pompeii before the eruption of Vesuvius were just like any others, despite the dramatic portrayals in cultural history that suggest differently. Furthermore, there is no evidence that the people of Pompeii were more decadent than people in any neighboring cities, so be skeptical when people suggest they got what they deserved.

Getting to Know Ally - committee member for VIDMAlly Anderson is a newly qualified midwife at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, UK. She was a secondary science teacher for thirteen years before embarking on a change of career and going back to study again at Teesside University. Ally's first degree was in Anatomy and Physiology and she has a PGCE and Masters in Education. Ally has four children and a husband who keep her busy in between placements and study!As part of her studies, Ally took the whole family to Tanzania in 2018 for her elective placement. This experience was invaluable in demonstrating that there are so many things we can all learn from each other whether you are a student, midwife or doctor and whether you work in a well-resourced city hospital in a high-income country or a small village hospital in a low-income country. Ally's elective placement has enthused her interest in ‘normal' childbirth, breastfeeding and respectful maternity care.Due to Ally's previous role, she is passionate about midwifery education – for students, preceptor midwives and qualified midwives for their continued professional development. In the future, Ally is keen that everyone all over the world should be able to have access to a contemporary and innovative midwifery education. The VIDM is one way that this could be achieved. She loves working with the wonderful, diverse members of the VIDM committee!You can find out more about the VIDM on https://vidm.org/
