Listen "Talk Evidence - masks, chronic pain, and baby milk formulae claims"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Talk Evidence, Helen Macdonald is joined by Juan Franco and Joe Ross, to bring you the newest evidence in The BMJ.
First, chronic pain. As prescribers move away from opioids, Juan finds an overview of systematic reviews asking whether anti-depressants might help.
Joe finds new research on the link between six healthy lifestyle markers and cognitive decline.
Helen looks at a trial to reduce prescribing among older people with suspected urinary tract infection or UTI.
Juan has a nuanced take on the updated evidence on masks to reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.
Finally, an international group of researchers traced the health claims made about infant formula milk back to the evidence or lack of it
