The Health Report podcast by ABC Radio National (www.abc.net.au) is an interesting weekly podcast exploring new views of health related issues. It talks about issues like cancer screening, its benefit and harms, and stress and breast cancer, and gives a broad definition of these health topics, along with the social, scientific, and political context of these illnesses (i.e. the legal issues, the social implications, and the scientific viewpoints) related to each illness. This podcast is the first podcast of its kind that I've seen.
The audio can be improved by matching the volumes of the speakers in an interview. The narration is good, but you might miss out a few words if you are not an australian, due to a bit of a heavy australian accent in the pronunciation of some words. This is an important health show. Not to be missed!

A mysterious and often life threatening disease affects the lives of mostly young women. These patients often end up in psychiatric hospitals misdiagnosed or in intensive care units with bizarre behaviour and metabolic meltdown. It's been discovered that these patients had a benign tumour in the ovary called teratoma. A teratoma can contain teeth, hair and most significantly for the women suffering from this condition, brain tissue. The body sees this tumour like a foreign type of tissue and mounts an attack, an immune response against these brain cells that are in the tumour. However, the immunological system is tricked and not only goes against the tumour, but is also misdirected against the brain of the patients.

An enormous range of pharmaceuticals, from painkillers to chemotherapy drugs, is entering our rivers and waterways via wastewater. The concentrations are tiny, but drug pollution has had unexpected and at times devastating impacts on plants and animals. Ecotoxicologists and health experts alike are calling for a concerted effort to better understand how pharmaceuticals behave in the natural environment.
