Damiano Giuseppe Barone is a neurosurgery clinical lecturer at the University of Cambridge and fellow at The Walton Centre in Liverpool, UK. He is interested in tackling basic and translational challenges for the development of the next generation of neural bioelectronics. ***This podcast is sponsored by Ripple Neuro, check out their Neuroscience Research Tools here*** Top 3 Takeaways: "My favorite procedure is the procedure that works and you see the patient after that is is a changed patient." "You come out from medical school like age 23 or 24. Then you get to a general medical program which in the United Kingdom lasts 2 years in and then you get to the residency, which is 8 years. And then 10 years after you are age 34 practicing the neurosurgeon. I personally took what is called an 'out of programme for research/. So basically I halted my neurosurgery residency. I stepped out and I stepped in a PhD program while still covering what is called the on-call rota, which is basically doing emergency work in neurosurgery just to keep my clinical skills going." This added a few more years of training to the list. "Quality of life procedures, to be offered to the patients, will have to have a 70 to 80% improvement to justify the risks the patient will have to go through." 0:45 Do you want to introduce yourself better than I just did? 2:45 You spent 20 years in training for this, did you know this at the outset? 4:00 "What's it like to get only a few hours of sleep for years?" 5:00 Why did you choose to go the PhD route as well? 7:45 What's it like to be digging around in the body? 9:45 Sponsorship by Ripple Neuro 10:00 "What's your favorite procedures and what's your least favorite procedures?" 12:15 "What percentage of patients see improvements?" 14:30 "What are some, risks other than it not working, what are maybe some damage or maybe even death is that a possibility?" 16:45 "It's much more dangerous to have, a large device versus a small device. Is that kinda what you've seen?" 18:45 "Have you been involved in electrode design or device design?" 19:45 "What are you working on now?" 25:00 "What are the next steps?" 28:00 "What would you recommend or what kind of advice do you have for people considering this?"

Gerrard is returning to Premier League as the new manager of Aston Villa. David Fairclough and James Pearce discuss why Villa is the perfect way into Premier League as a manager for Stevie G. And there are some interesting personal fixtures when Steven returns to Anfield in December, plays against Benitez at Goodison and when he meets Brendan Rodgers' Leicester... We talk about the unusual high rotation of managers in Premier League this season and about why Liverpool is lucky. Also a post match talk on West Ham away and looking ahead to Arsenal home. Pearce reveals what he is working on for The Athletic and Fairclough is getting ready for the 10th charity ball in honor of his wife Jan Fairclough to fundraise for the Walton Centre, one of the leading neurology hospitals in the UK.

We were recently joined on the show by Anne Hodgson, who is the Community Fundraiser for the Walton Centre Charity. Anne was on the Island especially to support a number of people who were raising funds for the centre by taking part in the Parish Walk. She was invited by the family of one young woman, Katie Holmes, who has spent almost a year as an inpatient at Walton following a serious car accident. Christy was able to spend a short time in the company of 21 year old Katie and her mum, Yvonne, to find out a little more about their story and how the Centre has helped them. After the Parish Walk weekend, we received this wonderful message from Yvonne: “The walkers did very well in difficult conditions! Jeff finished at Peel, Rob stopped at Jurby and the joint total raised by the two of them for the Walton Centre is around £1500 - with thanks as well to the customers of Motor Mall, whose customers also contributed and who provided the support car for Yvonne to drive.

Movement as medicine and putting pain management centre stage. Make sure you stand up and do a few stretches after listening to this episode of Airing Pain! ‘Movement is medicine’ for people in pain, says consultant physiotherapist Eve Jenner. But it’s about more than just exercise – physiotherapists can help people understand pain, know the difference between ‘hurt and harm’ and get a better night’s sleep. Understanding pain matters for doctors and public health officials too, argues pioneer of pain management services Professor Michael Bond. It’s not just political correctness to look at pain as a problem in itself; it’s a question of biology. Changes in the spinal cord make pain persist. Getting the message across could be a matter of life and death. Research suggests that delays in the diagnosis and treatment of persistent pain can reduce life expectancy, Dr Manohar Sharma says. He explains why working as a team of different specialists, including the person in pain, is crucial for making the complex spinal interventions he specialises in succeed.

The place of faith in pain relief, plus physiotherapy meets mental health, and educating doctors. This edition is funded by a donation from the residents at Falcon House, Edinburgh. It’s well established that pain needs to be understood and treated as a biopsychosocial problem, but what about the spiritual side of life? Professor of nursing and Anglican chaplain Michelle Briggs speak to Paul Evans about how some people in pain can find relief and meaning in the prayer and community engagement offered by their faith. We’ve looked at the issue of pain education before – Emma Briggs gives an update on the struggle to increase pain training for doctors and improve its quality. Her interdisciplinary pain management course brings healthcare professionals together with a focus on empathy, working as a team and understanding the importance of drug and non-drug treatments. Physiotherapy and mental health care might seem at opposite ends of the pain management spectrum, but physiotherapist Nathan Goss sets out why we have to see pain as a mind-body problem and argues that mental health difficulties are ‘something we all experience’.
