About this episode
Welcome to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. In this episode, we have three new and interesting research papers to look at. First, new data on the effects of social media use and cognitive development in younger adolescents. Is it really a problem? Second, can a simple urine sample be as accurate as a smear test for identifying cervical HPV, and what do women feel about this? Finally, if you're struggling to sleep could Tai chi be better than CBT for insomnia? ReferencesJAMA SM & cognitive developmentJAMA EditorialBJGP Urine vs smear for cervical HPVBMJ Tai chi vs CBTi for insomniawww.nbmedical.com/podcast
