105 – Malaria / Ecstasy for PTSD / Statin Overprescription
Manage episode 426748256 series 2309520
What does the body of evidence say on malaria? Your favourite travel destination may be a malaria hot zone: we discuss how to prepare. Plus: a strange FDA application to use MDMA to treat PTSD, and have statins been overprescribed?
A Block: Malaria
(0:58) History; the parasite’s life cycle; how many people are affected by malaria; symptoms; how to diagnose it; how to treat it; prevention.
B Block: Ecstasy for PTSD
(35:46) An advisory committee for the FDA has raised many concerns about a company’s application to use MDMA (ecstasy, molly) as part of psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder.
C Block: Statin Overprescription
(46:08) A new risk calculator is classifying fewer people as needing statins.
