S1 E9 - Coronavirus pt.3, Salt and BP, Eggs and CVD, Why All Blood Tests are Wrong
Manage episode 255419687 series 2558226
In Episode 9 of the NB Hot Topics podcast, Neal Tucker looks at the latest on coronavirus, guidance for primary care and how other countries have managed the infection. In other news he discusses the 2020 Marmot report and our patients' "Lost Decade".
In new research we examine two papers in the BMJ on the role of salt reduction in hypertension and egg consumption in cardiovascular disease, plus a BJGP paper on Rapid Diagnostic Clinics for patients with vague symptoms but possible cancer.
Our in-depth topic this week is variation in blood test results and why we can't always believe what we see. The concept of the 'reference change value' may be the most important information we will discuss all year.
Finally Future Medicine reports on communicating with patients in persistent vegetative state via the medium of functional MRI.
