×Robert F. Kennedy Jr has been confirmed as President Trump's secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. This is despite his contentious views on things like vaccination and anti-depressants. President Trump has already overseen major cuts to America's research sector, with concerns labs could close without appropriate funding. References 'Devastating' cuts to NIH grants by Trump's team put on hold by US judge - Nature Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates…
A leading youth mental health expert has pushed back at the suggestion that three quarters of adolescents in Australia have been anxious or depressed. While it's agreed rates of both conditions are rising among young people, there are ways to improve services so more people can access support. Guest/s Professor Pat McGorry , executive director of Orygen and Youth Mental Health at the University of Melbourne References National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing 2020-2022 The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on youth mental health…
Victoria’s breast screening service is starting to advise patients when they have dense breasts, urging them to discuss their cancer risk with their GP. Western Australia and South Australia have been doing this for some years. However there are still no national guidelines, and it’s not always clear what GPs should do with this information. Guest/s Associate Professor Wendy Ingman , University of Adelaide References Breast density - frequently asked questions - BreastScreen Victoria Dense breasts - BreastScreen WA Breast density - BreastScreen SA BreastScreen Australia National Policy and Funding Review…
Community control of health care has been hard fought in Indigenous communities, and it's delivering results. In their book First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture, Shawana Andrews, Sandra Eades and Fiona Stanley map the history and importance of this movement. They also outline how returning to traditional ways of life can improve outcomes through nutrition, activity and community engagement. Guest/s Professor Sandra Eades , epidemiologist and Deputy Dean, Indigenous Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences Professor Fiona Stanley , Distinguished Research Professor in the School of Paediatrics and Child Health at the University of Western Australia…

A new report has exposed how some manufacturers of toddler foods use marketing to sell unhealthy foods to busy parents. Also, a convincing study on replacing salt with potassium for cardiovascular health. And a concerning study about cannabis use disorder and schizophrenia in a country where weed has been legalised. References Confectionery is being marketed to parents as nutritious toddler food, report finds Salt Substitution and Recurrent Stroke and Death: A Randomized Clinical Trial | Cerebrovascular Disease Sodium Reduction Legislation and Urinary Sodium and Blood Pressure in South Africa Cannabis and schizophrenia incidence…
A private hospital will soon be accepting patients, charging no out-of-pocket costs for those insured with specific private health funds. Adeney is the the first private hospital in Australia to offer no-gap cover from the surgeon to the pharmacy. So how does a model like this make money for its doctors, and are there potential conflicts of interest? Guest/s Louise O'Connor, CEO of Adeney Private Hospital in Kew, Melbourne…
Last year the screening age for bowel cancer was lowered to 45, in response to the rising number of young adults being diagnosed. Australia is among a handful of western countries highlighted in a recent study looking into this concerning trend. So will our lowered screening age make a difference? Or do we need to focus our attention somewhere else?

There's been a concerning rise in depression and anxiety in adolescents, and an Australian study has reinforced the need for change. In a survey of more than 1,200 students, aged between 10 and 18, a majority reported symptoms of a common mental disorder. And girls seem particularly vulnerable. The researchers say that at this rate, there’s not enough support for everyone, and we need to invest more in prevention.

While Australia has so far dodged the H5N1 strain of bird flu that's been infecting humans, we're still recuperating from an outbreak of a different strain. If you've noticed a shortage of eggs at the supermarket, farmers are warning it's likely to persist as they rush to get their chickens back up to speed. Also, an update on vaccination against COVID-19 — who needs what and when. References H7 high pathogenicity avian influenza COVID-19 vaccine advice and recommendations…
For some considering Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT), the risks are low and the benefits are high. A new review has underlined the need to take an individualised approach, tailoring the dose and duration of MHT to the person. However it also highlighted a lack of evidence for nonwhite people, those experiencing socioeconomic adversity and complex comorbidities. Guest/s Professor Susan Davis , director of the Monash University Women’s Health Research Program and head of the Women’s Endocrine Clinic, Alfred Hospital Melbourne References Update on Menopause Hormone Therapy; Current Indications and Unanswered Questions…
Myopia, also known as short-sightedness, is a common problem that often develops in early life. It’s becoming more common as children spend more time inside staring at screens, but there is also a strong genetic component. For those unable to prevent myopia through lifestyle changes, atropine eye drops are proving tolerable and effective at slowing progression. Guest/s Dr Gareth Lingham , postdoctoral researcher at Lions Eye Institute References Efficacy and Safety of Different Atropine Regimens for the Treatment of Myopia in Children Axial Growth and Myopia Progression After Discontinuing Soft Multifocal Contact Lens Wear Seeing benefits: Eye drops delay short-sightedness - the Health Report…

It wasn't her first life-altering medical emergency, having gone through cancer treatment years earlier. In episode two of A Stroke of Luck, we hear from Gillian and her husband Steve about how their lives changed all over again.…
