Pharmacology can get a bad rap in the press. Professors George Davey Smith and David Nutt fight the case for statins and SSRIs.In a public lecture hosted by the British Association for Psychopharmacology and Bristol’s MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit (where I work), Professors George Davey Smith and David Nutt stripped away the sensationalisation and misinformation around statins and SSRIs.

Nose balloon could be used to treat glue ear
ConclusionThis RCT aimed to assess the use of autoinflation as a treatment for glue ear. More than 300 children were included in the study and were randomly assigned to receive autoinflation, in addition to usual care for up to three months, or usual care alone. The use of autoinflation does appear to show some promise at one and three months, and the side effects were generally mild. However, this will only provide a solution for children who are able to perform the technique and do this regularly. This means it may not be a suitable treatment for everyone.This study's main strength is that it included a representative sa...

The advice in today’s letter is for men – but if you’re a woman, just imagine you’re listening in so you can share it with the man in your life.
First of all, from a wellness point of view, I tell my patients:
“You should have sex as often as you can, for as long as you live.”
Three to four times a week would be ideal.
