Mysterious objects beyond Neptune, and how wildfire pollution behaves indoors
The Kuiper belt might be bigger than we thought, and managing the effects of wildfires on indoor pollution First up on this week’s show, the Kuiper belt—the circular field of icy bodies, including Pluto, that surrounds our Solar System—might be bigger than we thought. Staff Writer Paul Voosen joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the distant Kuiper belt objects out past Neptune, and how they were identified by telescopes looking for new targets for a visit by the New Horizons spacecraft. Next up on the show, the impact of wildfire smoke indoors. Producer Kevin McLean talks with Delphine Farmer, a chemist at Colorado S...

Gene edits move pig organs closer to human transplantation
In this episode:00:46 Engineered pig kidneys show transplantation promiseKidneys from genetically-engineered miniature pigs have been transplanted into non-human primates, in some cases keeping the animals alive for more than a year. Using CRISPR, a team made dozens of edits to the pig genome to prevent the monkeys’ immune system from attacking the organs. They also removed pig retrovirus genes that could represent an infection risk. These steps are necessary if pig organs are to be used in human transplants, something many clinicians and researchers think will be needed to overcome a critical shortage of organs for tran...

Which treatments are effective for the management of complex regional pain syndrome in adults?
For some health conditions, there are multiple Cochrane reviews, each looking at the effects of a different intervention. Overviews of reviews are intended to help users to consider all interventions together and one of these overviews, for treating pain and disability in adults with complex regional pain syndrome was updated in June 2023. Here ' s lead author, Michael Ferraro from Neuroscience Research Australia, to describe the findings. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

Are interventions for fatigue effective among people with kidney failure requiring dialysis?
Alongside their reviews on treatments for chronic kidney disease, the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant Group produce reviews for interventions that might help with its consequences. These were added to in August 2023 with a new review of ways to help manage the fatigue experienced by people requiring dialysis. Here ' s lead author, Patrizia Natale from the University of Sydney in Australia, to tell us about the review. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

What are the effects of intensive control of blood sugar before, during and after surgery in people with diabetes?
People with diabetes face additional challenges when they need treatments, such as surgery, for other conditions. In the August 2023 update to the Cochrane review, reviewers examined whether perioperative glycaemic control might help with this, and we asked joint lead author, D ídac Mauricio from the CIBER of Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Disease in Barcelona Spain to tell us more in this podcast.

Why doing less can be hard
One element of sustainable healthcare is simply reducing the amount of healthcare you’re doing by not doing the things that are of no value to patients. However, how do we do this in practice? And why is it often so hard? What is the role of fear in this discussion? These are all questions we will discuss in this episode.
To help us with this we’ll be joined by Prof Ben Newell (cognitive psychologist from University of New South Wales, whose research interest includes judgement and decision making). and Dr Lucas Chartier, emergency medicine physician at the University Health Network in Toronto.
