Medical Detectives (audio) https://ed.ac.uk EN University of Edinburgh - Prod Medical Detectives (audio) The University of Edinburgh A series of lectures, inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, will highlight the University of Edinburgh’s internationally acclaimed medical research and show that keen detective work is still essential for 21st century doctors. Conan Doyle drew inspiration for Sherlock Holmes when he was a medical student at Edinburgh and based his character on the Professor of Medicine Joseph Bell, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail. The lectures will show that, just like Sherlock Holmes, today’s medical sleuths must use powers of observation and deduction not only to make the right diagnosis but also to find new treatments.

In the early days, some children were cured with this minimal therapy. As more drugs were discovered, so treatment intensified and more children were cured. The current challenge is to identify which children will do well with less treatment and who need more.

The patient disabled by spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis illustrates the consequences of the failure of repair in the brain after injury. But why does this fail? Other tissues such as skin repair very well, so what factors make the brain different? This talk examines the clues that experiments have given us as to the identity of the culprits. How is current research trying to deal with them, and why might it be that they turned to crime in the first place?

Ideas about the causes of stroke have evolved over the centuries from the mystical to the realisation that most strokes are due to a plumbing problem - a blocked or burst artery in the brain. In this lecture Professor Peter Sandercock will begin by describing early attempts to map stroke in the population and then explain how the numerical science of epidemics of infectious diseases in populations was successfully applied to stroke to identify its main causes.
