episode The Confounding Case of Skin Cancer and Sunscreen cover

Beskrivelse

On this week's episode, we look into one of the key benefits of clinical trials: that they tend to isolate against confounding variables. We look at what confounding variables are and look at the long-term example of reported links between sunscreen use and increased skin cancer rates. We look at why excessive sun exposure is dangerous, how sunscreen works, why rates of skin cancer appeared to increase as sunscreen was introduced. Share with a friend.

episode What Avocados and FibroScan Teach Us About Liver Health cover

What Avocados and FibroScan Teach Us About Liver Health

In this episode, we look at the need for cheap, accurate screening tools for common diseases. To that end, we take the example of fatty liver disease. We review the "gold standard" diagnostic tool, liver biopsy, and why that shouldn't be the first line of detection for a fatty liver. We review some standard methods of screening before diving into transient elastography, also known as FibroScan. We look at what this method is, why it may be preferable to an MRI or CT scan, and how clinical researchers use transient elastography in trials. Share with a friend.
