        Mobile phones and head injuries
        Are you reading this on your mobile phone, whilst walking down the street? One American doctor who treats some of the head and neck injuries sustained by people distracted by their phones wants us to stop using them on the go. He’s seen cuts, broken noses, smashed jaws and even brain damage in patients – injuries which have become much more common since the arrival of smartphones. The world’s largest medical gallery has opened at the Science Museum in London. Exhibits include some of the shock tactics used in public health campaigns – to encourage people to have safe sex, stop smoking and get vaccinated against dangerous diseases. As long ago as the 1950s the power of celebrity was evident when the take-up of the polio vaccine increased following the death of Birmingham and England footballer Jeff Hall. There are fears that there might soon be a global shortage of the blood-thinning drug heparin. It’s given to prevent clots during surgery – as well as to some pregnant women and people with cancer. The situation is so bad that the World Health Organisation wants governments to stockpile the medication. We hear how the supply issue originates from a surprising source: pigs.

        When should you have a cholesterol test?
        Many people want to have a cholesterol test when they reach middle age – thinking that if it’s too high they can change their diet or take medication to reduce their risk of having a heart attack or stroke. But new research suggests that knowing how much of the 'bad' kind of the fatty substance is in our bodies much earlier – in our 30s – is key to cutting the risk of cardiovascular disease. Mental health experts along with some top poets and rappers gathered in Birmingham, UK recently – to try and break the record for the world’s largest mental health lesson. We hear if they managed it – and how they aim to reduce the stigma of mental illness. In Ethiopia nurses who normally tend to women whose bodies are harmed by a serious complication of childbirth called fistula are now running counselling sessions to support their mental health. We hear how the women who have already lost their babies are then shunned by their community which leads to anxiety and depression. (Photo credit: Light Field Studios/Getty Images.)

        The global scale of corruption in healthcare
        A former health minister from Peru has called corruption in healthcare 'a cancer' which leads to the deaths of 140,000 children every year. Dr Patty Garcia is in London for the Academy of Medical Sciences International Health Lecture. She has seen x-ray machines and scanners in public hospitals deliberately broken so that people would pay for tests in nearby private clinics. She is calling for more research into the best ways to stop corruption – as the money saved could fund universal healthcare. Medical advances mean that people living with HIV won’t pass the virus onto a sexual partner if their viral load is kept to an 'undetectable' level. But a series in the journal The Lancet is highlighting how attitudes have not always kept up. The stigma felt by HIV+ people can wreck lives. Swedish clinical professor in global infectious disease epidemiology Anna Mia Ekström explains how one of her HIV+ patients wished they had cancer instead – so they could tell their mother and get support. In Maseru, the capital of Lesotho, HIV youth activists from 25 countries gathered recently to improve their leadership skills in order to fight stigma and isolation. Angela Robson went along to the Spark meeting – to talk to young people living with HIV from places like India, Turkey and Zimbabwe. (Photo: Male doctor with money in uniform pocket.

        Risk of depression higher in LGBT teens
        A new British study indicates that half of lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans (LGBT) teenagers are experiencing depression. Despite the improvement of equality for LGBT people in some countries stigma and bullying is still common and affects mental health. Another study carried out in the US city of Texas also showed that 1 in 4 adolescents at an inpatient unit were LGBT – a higher level than you’d expect by chance. Researchers in the US are trying to find out if a practice called vaginal seeding might help to reduce food allergies in babies born by caesarean section. When a baby is delivered via the vagina it will come into contact with potentially-useful bacteria. So vaginal seeding aims to replicate that process. We hear from one family who have volunteered to take part in the study in New York. Past studies on fish oils and their impact on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been contradictory. New research carried out in Taiwan has shown that children with low levels of fish oils who took high-dose supplement saw an improvement in their ability to concentrate. The researchers say fish oils should only be taken under medical supervision. (Photo: Two people holding hands. Credit: fizkes/Getty Images.)

        Autism: the problems of fitting in
        Many people with autistic spectrum disorder learn techniques to overcome their difficulties interacting with others. The first study that has looked at the consequences of these compensatory strategies reveals some benefits but also significant downsides. The consequences can be stress, low self-esteem, mental illness and misdiagnosis. Claudia talks to lead researcher Professor Francesca Happé from King’s College London and Eloise Stark, a woman with autism. A new research programme at Imperial College London is investigating the link between obesity and infertility in men. Madeleine Finlay explores why weight gain and other factors of modern life might be influencing men’s sperm health. Tick-borne Lyme disease is on the rise in the northern hemisphere. Lyme disease can develop into a serious illness. It is hard to diagnosis early and delayed diagnosis means lengthy treatment and recovery. Dr Mollie Jewett at the University of Central Florida is working on a much faster means of diagnosis, and a more effective treatment. Deborah Cohen meets Dr Jewett and her ticks. Graham Easton is in the Health Check studio to talk about links between hearing loss and dementia, and the worrying spread of bacteria resistant to carbapenems, one of the most important kinds of antibiotic drugs. (Photo caption: A young woman standing in the middle of a crowded street – credit: Getty Images) Health Check was presented by Claudia Hammond with comments from Dr Graham Easton.
