Why COVID-19 poses a special risk during pregnancy, and how hair can split steel
Staff Writer Meredith Wadman joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the risk of the novel coronavirus infection to pregnant women. Early data suggest expectant women are more likely to get severe forms of the infection and require hospitalization. Meredith describes how the biology of pregnancy —such as changes to the maternal immune system and added stress on the heart and lungs—might explain the harsher effects of the virus.
Also this week, Sarah talks with Gianluca Roscioli about his experiments with commercial razor blades and real human hair. By using a scanning electron microsco pe, he was able to show how something...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus surgical aortic valve replacement in people with severe aortic stenosis and low surgical risk
The Cochrane Heart Group have produced more than 200 reviews, covering a very wide range of conditions and interventions. In December 2019, they published a new review comparing different procedures for patients with severe aortic stenosis and we asked the lead author, Ahmed Kolkailah, from the Department of Medicine at Cook County Health in Chicago, USA to tell us about the condition and the review ’s findings.

Talk evidence covid-19 update - natural history of covid, include patients in guidelines
For the next few months Talk Evidence is going to focus on the new corona virus pandemic. There is an enormous amount of uncertainty about the disease, what the symptoms are, fatality rate, treatment options, things we shouldn't be doing.
We're going to try to get away from the headlines and talk about what we need to know - to hopefully give you some insight into these issues.
This week:
(1.20) Carl gives us an update on the England and Wales admission data.
(3.00) Helen talks about ways in which spread and severity of infectio n amongst household contacts.
(8.20) We talk natural history of covid-19, and Harlan Krum...
