This was first published in January 2003 and the fifth update has been published 21 years later. Here ' s the current lead author, Dawn Stacey from the University of Ottawa and Ottawa Hospital Research Institute in Canada, who ' s been working on the review for all that time to tell us about the need for the review and its latest findings.

Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids
In this JAMA author interview, we speak with Robert M. Califf, MD, Commissioner of the FDA, about a remarkable advance in the technology of hearing aids. Dr Califf has done important work to secure the entry of over-the-counter hearing aids into the market, providing a less expensive alternative to traditional hearing aids. In this interview, Dr Califf tells the story of how this technology has finally been made available to the public.

Five years in the coldest fridge in the known Universe
00:46 The very cool experiment looking for a proposed particlePhysics tells us that when matter is created, antimatter should be as well. But while the Universe is full of matter, there’s surprisingly little antimatter to be found. To try and understand this imbalance, a team have built a detector kept just above absolute zero which they are using to look for a hypothesised, ultra-rare type of particle decay that could create matter without antimatter.Research article: The CUORE CollaborationNews and Views: Cryogenic mastery aids bid to spot matter creation09:43 Research HighlightsSubsidence of coastal cities makes them ...

The brain cells that help animals navigate in 3D
Researchers uncover how grid cells fire in a 3D space to help bats navigate, and a fabric that switches between being stiff and flexible.In this episode:00:47 Mapping a bat’s navigation neurons in 3DGrid cells are neurons that regularly fire as an animal moves through space, creating a pattern of activity that aids navigation. But much of our understanding of how grid cells work has involved rats moving in a 2D plane. To figure out how the system works in a 3D space, researchers have mapped the brain activity of bats flying freely around a room.Research Article: Ginosar et al.07:44 Research HighlightsHow a ‘toxin spong...

Anthony Fauci - on changing science, long-covid, and political intrusion into health agencies
Dr Anthony Fauci needs no introduction, as head of the NIAID for almost four decades, and the U.S. government's leading advisor on infectious diseases, and leader in the country's response to Covid-19.
In this interview with The BMJ, Dr Fauci covers parallels in his experience in the HIV/AIDS crisis with this latest public health emergency. He talks about how his understanding of Covid-19 has changed.
We also tackle the reports of political intrusion into the CDC and, address worries about the rush toward a vaccine in time for the November elections.
