  • 2019 - E3: Bone mineral density in cystic fibrosis patients
    2019 - E3: Bone mineral density in cystic fibrosis patients
    Cystic fibrosis (CF)is a common life-limiting autosomal recessive genetic disorder, where gene must be inherited from both parents and it can skip generations. CF is caused by mutation of a gene that encodes a chloride-conducting transmembrane channel called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which regulates mucous clearance in the airways.
    With this increased longevity, a number of new problems have emerged, including low bone mineral density, osteoporotic fractures, and kyphosis. Recent studies from Putman et al provide evidence as to how bone is compromised in CF patients.

  • 2019-E2: The effects of physical activity on your bones during adulthood and ageing
    2019-E2: The effects of physical activity on your bones during adulthood and ageing
    We discuss the findings from very large longitudinal study from the UK called the National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD).
    The main findings were:
    - Greater participation in physical activity over 28 years was positively associated with bone density at all sites.
    - There were sex differences: greater effects in men than women; these were mainly driven by muscle mass.
    - Any physical activity that is performed is beneficial for your bones, whether it be at age 36 or 60-64, it's better than not performing ANY at all.
    The complete study can be found below:

  • 2019-E1: The cost of fracture & osteoporosis in Australia
    The cost of fracture & osteoporosis in Australia.
    This episode reports findings from a recent study published in the Journal of Bone & Mineral Research which shows how much fractures, osteoporosis and osteopenia cost the healthcare system. The main finding was the total direct cost of osteoporosis in Australia in 2017 was estimated to be $3.44 billion - ALOT OF MONEY!!

    Episode 8.2018 Musculoskeletal health in cerebral palsy with special guest Dr. Anne Trinh
    What is cerebral palsy?
    What effect does this have on our bones? Muscles?
    What treatments or other therapies are available to improve musculoskeletal health? [You will be surprised what they use!]
    What are the gaps that still need to be addressed clinically and in research?
    For more information on cerebral palsy visit the Cerebral Palsy Alliance on: https://www.cerebralpalsy.org.au/

  • Episode 6.2018 Fatty Bones
    Episode 6.2018 Fatty Bones
    What we learned today:
    - Fat can accumulate in bone - and that this is called marrow fat
    - Animal studies have shown that exercise can get rid of this fat
    - We’re not too sure of how this all works as more research is required
    - Steroid use (linked to increased fat) increases fracture risk

  • Episode 5.2018 What is a clinical trial? An interview with Mx Cat Shore-Lorenti
    Episode 5.2018 - What is a clinical trial?
    Today we speak about what a clinical trial actually is, what is involved in each different kind of trial and what information we can get out of different trial types.
    Of course, any trial needs ethical approval and we discuss what an ethics committee is and what function they serve.
    To help us discuss all of this is Clinical Trials Co-ordinator at Monash University Mx Cat Shore-Lorenti. Cat also discusses the professional requirements of a clinical trials co-ordinator.
