Talk Evidence - eating less, drinking less, drug approval data
Talk Evidence is back, with your monthly take on the world of EBM with Duncan Jarvies and GPs Carl Heneghan (also director for the Centre of Evidence Based Medicine at the University of Oxford) and Helen Macdonald (also The BMJ's UK research Editor).
This month Carl talks about evidence that restricting your diet might improve health at a population level (1.50)
Helen talks about the data on a drop in alcohol consumption amongst Scots (7.04)
A listener questions the team about their take on Tramadol (13.45)
Helen talks about the problems with the trials we use to regulate drugs (18.00)
And Carl explains why drug short...

What caused the drop in stroke mortality in the UK
Stroke mortality rates have been declining in almost every country, and that reduction could result from a decline in disease occurrence or a decline in case fatality, or both. Broadly - is that decline down to better treatment or better prevention.
Olena Seminog, a researcher, and and Mike Rayner, professor of population health, both from the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford, join us to discuss their study which has used a large database to try and determine what has most affected stroke mortality.

Prophylactic antibiotics for operative vaginal delivery
Marian Knight (University of Oxford, UK) discusses the ANODE trial, which highlights how prophylactic antibiotics given at 3 hours after birth can substantially reduce infection after operative vaginal delivery. The results should result in an updating of current clinical guidelines. (Source: Listen to The Lancet)

Diabetes Insipidus - the danger of misunderstanding diabetes
Diabetes is synonymous with sugar, but diabetes insipidus, "water diabetes", can't be forgotten. Between 2009 and 2016, 4 people died in hospital in England, when lifesaving treatment for the condition was not given.
In this podcast, we hear some practical tips for non-specialists to aid diagnosis, and how patients should be managed during hospital admission.
On the podcast are
Miles Levy, consultant endocrinologist from Leicester Royal Infirmary
Pat McBride, head of family services at the Pituitary Foundatio n
John Wass, professor of endocrinology at Oxford University
Malcolm Prentice, consultant endocrinologist at Cro...

Mendelian Randomisation - for the moderately intelligent
Mendelian randomisation - it ’s a technique that uses the chance distribution of genes in a population, combined with big data sets, to investigate causative relationships.
But there are a lot of questions we have in The BMJ about how the technique works - the association between genes and apparently non-biologically mediate d behaviours, how much the strict rule of not claiming causation based on observational data has actually been overturned, and general confusion about how the non-methodologists amongst us can read these studies.

The first midsize black holes, and the environmental impact of global food production
Astronomers have been able to detect supermassive black holes and teeny-weeny black holes but the midsize ones have been elusive. Now, researchers have scanned through archives looking for middle-size galaxies and found traces of these missing middlers. Host Sarah Crespi and Staff Writer Daniel Clery discuss why they were so hard to find in the first place, and what it means for our understanding of black hole formation.
Farming animals and plants for human consumption is a massive operation with a big effect on the planet. A new research project that calculated the environmental impact of global food production shows hi...
