National Pathology WeekThe Naked Scientists: Science Radio & Science Podcasts |
In this 2009 Royal College of Pathologists National Pathology Week podcast we explore the process of getting a new heart. We find out why you may need a transplant, who is involved and why this relatively simple operation needs a team of pathologists, coordinators and surgeons.

In this 2009 Royal College of Pathologists National Pathology Week podcast, we get a behind-the-scenes view of a heart attack. Through a virtual autopsy, and dissection of a pig’s heart, we learn more about this incredible organ and how it can go wrong. With the help of pathologists and cardiologists we get to the heart of the genetics, biochemistry and anatomy of cardiac disease.

In this 2009 Royal College of Pathologists National Pathology Week podcast we find out why thinking "heart" could save a baby's life. We'll examine three heart conditions - duct-dependent lesions, viral myocarditis and arrhythmias - and find out why these go unidentified in many babies, often with tragic consequences. Parents, nurses and pediatricans join the Royal College of Pathologists to raise awareness and encourage us all to "Think Heart".

In this 2009 Royal College of Pathologists National Pathology Week podcast, we look at the art and ethics of modern healthcare. We hear how the structure of the heart has inspired works of art and we take a dip in the murky waters of medical ethics: who has the right to decide if a teenage boy should be given a new heart?

In the final National Pathology Week podcast, we address the ultimate surgical operation - the Autopsy, or Post Mortem. Dr Suzy Lishman and Dr Alison Cluroe shed light on the often misunderstood operation that not only tells us how a person died, but provides vital information to help the living. We get the chance to guess what different autopsy tools are used for (and spot the kitchen-based red herring!), and go through the process of a genuine post mortem. This is a fascinating and unique view behind closed doors, and not for the faint of heart.

Self medical testing is a controvercial topic - some believe we should be free to monitor our own health, while others are concerned about the risks of inaccurate results and the strain that this can put on the NHS. The Royal College of Pathologists assembled a panel of experts from medicine and industry to ask the question - is self-testing safe? In this podcast, we examine the issues so you can make an informed decision.
