Preventing Overdiagnosis 2017 - from theory to practice
In our last podcast from Preventing Overdiagnosis 2017, we convened an impromptu roundtable of clinicians who are attending the conference to see how some of the big themes that were discussed at the conference are going to impact their everyday practice.
Joining us were;
Jessica Otte - Family physician from Canada
David Warriner - Cardiologist from the UK.
Jack O’Sullivan - Junior doctor from Australia
Imran Sajid - GP from the UK

Non-invasive ventilation for people with respiratory failure due to exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
The respiratory illness, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is a major health burden for patients and healthcare systems, and there are several Cochrane Reviews examining the evidence for various ways to manage it. These were added to in July 2017 by the updating of a review last done in 2004 which looks at the evidence for the use of positive pressure breathing support during exacerbations. This was led by Dr. Christian Osadnik, from Monash University in Melbourne in Australia, who tells us what they found in this podcast. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

Lisa Barrett on How Emotions are Made (BS 135)
Lisa Felman Barrett (click to play interview)
In How Emotions are Made, neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett challenges a key long-standing assumption about emotions. She argues persuasively that the evidence does not support the idea that emotions are universal and hardwired. She calls this the classical theory because versions of this idea have been around at least since the ancient Greeks, but the idea was also one that Darwin embraced. It is also embedded in several past episodes of this podcast, including the popular interviews with Jaak Panksepp.In the Brain Science 135 I spoke with D...

Interventions to improve people's drug-taking behaviour with lipid-lowering drugs
Statins are very widely prescribed to lower cholesterol and it ’s important to know the best ways to help patients to take them. In an updated Cochrane Review from December 2016, Mieke van Driel from the University of Queensland in Australia examines the evidence, and she tells us more in this podcast.

Is stretch effective for treating and preventing joint deformities?
A range of injuries and disabilities can lead to stiffening in the soft tissues or muscles of the patient ’s limbs, causing problems with movement, called contractures. One of the widely used treatments is stretch, but does it work? Lisa Harvey from the University of Sydney in Australia and colleagues tried to find out in an updated Cochrane Review in January 2017, and she tells us more in this podcas t.

Do injectable pneumococcal vaccines prevent pneumonia in people with COPD?
Pneumonia is an especially serious problem for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and it ’s important to know if vaccination can prevent it. In an updated Cochrane Review from January 2017, Julia Walters from the Cochrane Airways Group in Australia and her colleagues have reviewed the latest evidence and she tells us what they found in this podcast.

Interventions for renal vasculitis in adults
Renal vasculitis causes damage to the small blood vessels inside the kidneys and – when untreated – leads to a rapid loss of kidney function. Therapies that block the immune system to switch off the vasculitis process are available but can lead to serious infections and other long term complications. As vasculitis is uncommon, it has been difficult to establish the most effe ctive and safest treatment, because studies have often been too small to detect these effects reliably. One way to try to overcome this, is to combine the results of similar studies and, in September 2015, Giles Walters and his colleagues in Austra...
