High temperatures are linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, so what does that mean for a country set to experience more extreme maximums under climate change?

A new study has looked at what could happen into the 2050s, and how the impact of hot weather on cardiovascular disease can be combated.

It requires policy change, and a shift to helping the most vulnerable people in our communities cope with the heat.

12:42

There are currently more than 200 shortages of medications, including some forms of menopause hormone therapy, ADHD medication and birth control. It's not always clear why some medications are in short supply, but sometimes the shortage can be traced all the way to a farm in China. Also, why US President Donald Trump wants to target Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).

Health anxiety: when worrying about being sick makes you sick 12:49

12:49

All of us deal with a level of health anxiety at times, but for some people it devolves into full-blown hypochondria. This can be so stressful that people do get sick – experiencing symptoms that can’t be explained by tests or scans. The internet only exacerbates the issue, enabling them to Google their symptoms all hours of the day. It's a cycle that can go on for years. But there is hope for people wanting to pull themselves out of this state of constant hypervigilance.

Our cells are smart – they’re able to get rid of damaged parts and recycle useful parts to keep us healthy. This process seems to break down in conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, and waste accumulates. Researchers have uncovered a critical step in the recycling process, which could be used to kickstart the process when it stalls.

With a new generation of weight loss drugs flooding the market, what is being done to safeguard people with eating disorders? There are concerns people of a higher weight with restrictive eating disorders could access GLP-1s if doctors aren’t screening patients appropriately. And this is partly due to the belief that people with restrictive eating disorders like anorexia are always underweight.

You might associate type 1 diabetes with children, teenagers or young adults.
