Thousands of Army soldiers may be suffering brain damage from blast of own weapons
Thousands of soldiers and veterans may be suffering from brain damage from firing heavy weapons, official studies have revealed. Defence chiefs have confirmed for the first time that machineguns and anti-tank weapons emit harmful blast waves which can cause traumatic injuries. Explosions create a wave of 'overpressure', a spike in the surrounding air pressure above normal atmospheric levels. The impulse can be so strong it penetrates the skull. Once inside the brain, the energy causes microscopic damage to blood vessels and neurons. Repeated exposure can overwhelm the brain's ability to heal itself, causing serious long-term neurological damage, according to researchers at the University of Birmingham. Symptoms of blast-related TBI overlap with those of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), making it difficult to diagnose. These may include: severe headaches, visual disturbances, sensitivity to noise and light, memory loss and a sense of personality change. Speaking to ITV, Lieutenant Colonel James Mitchell said: 'If we go back twenty years to the early Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns the perception was that we were seeing concussion and mild Traumatic Brain Injury predominantly from impact and exposure to substantial blast. 'Over especially the last five to ten years we are starting to appreciate the role of what we call 'low level blast', this is predominantly exposure of our service personnel to blast overpressure from our own weapon systems.' Lt Col Mitchell, a Royal Army Medical Service neurologist, added that while exact figures were not known, 'thousands' of serving personnel have been exposed to harmful blasts, with figures potentially even higher for veterans affected. Most at risk are those who have been repeatedly exposed to heavy weapons, including mortars, some shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons, 50-calibre rifles and machine guns, or explosive charges. The University of Birmingham is playing a key role in the mTBI Predict study in partnership with the Ministry of Defence. Neuroscientist Professor Lisa Hill said when the brain is damaged, it releases biomarkers, biological clues that can help scientists understand what and where the damage is happening. She said: 'If somebody gets injured, it changes the structure and function of the brain, but it also releases chemicals that you wouldn't normally see. 'So if we can measure things in blood or in their saliva, that can tell us how potentially bad their injury has been and what symptoms they might go on to get.' Professor Karen Mullinger, an expert in neuro-imaging at Nottingham University, is working to identify patterns of damage with sophisticated brain scanning technology called OPM MEG. Professor Mullinger also plans to study soldiers in real time, to see which activities are highest risk. She said: 'We can scan these soldiers before they go and do a training exercise and then immediately after, then we get a baseline which is specific to them. 'If the 'wire paths' have been damaged by blasts or whatever else it might be, then the function is going to change.' The information collected from these trials could shape policy, such as modifying the most damaging weapons or reducing blast exposure in training exercises. Last night, the MOD said: 'The health and wellbeing of our Armed Forces is critical and we provide specialist medical treatment for Traumatic Brain Injuries at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre. 'We know blast exposure causes physical change or injury in the brain that is only now becoming detectable and recognised with recent advances in the field, and we know there are alleged long-term effects of this exposure, but causation has not yet been shown and is the subject of much ongoing research. 'Using the latest research and advanced technology, the UK and our international partners are actively working on advancing the diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of patients with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. This includes over £4m in funding for the latest advanced research, which will help both military and civilian patients.'

NHS consultant spoke to trans row witness despite warnings
An NHS consultant has admitted that she spoke to a potential witness despite being warned not to do so during an investigation into an altercation between a transgender doctor and a nurse.A healthcare assistant was alleged to have witnessed a separate incident involving nurse Sandie Peggie and Dr Beth Upton, days before they were involved in an encounter in a changing room at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy on Christmas Eve questioning from Ms Peggie's lawyer at a tribunal, Dr Kate Searle admitted that talking to the witness had been a "flagrant breach" of previous warnings not to discuss the she denied claims that she "left confidentiality in ruins" with her actions. Ms Peggie was suspended from work with NHS Fife after she told Dr Upton - a trans woman - not to be in the women's changing rooms. Dr Searle, who was Dr Upton's line manager, became involved with the case on 29 December and helped file a report on the NHS's datex complaints this period Dr Upton also accused Ms Peggie of walking out on treating a patient earlier in December due to the junior doctor's Searle later spoke to a healthcare assistant who was alleged to have witnessed this incident. However, the woman could not remember details of a conversation between Ms Peggie and Dr Upton. Dr Searle said she could not recall whether she had this conversation before or after Angela Glancy - a senior charge nurse involved in the investigation - had spoken to the Peggie's lawyer Naomi Cunningham said if Dr Searle had spoken to the witness before investigators it would be "grossly improper" added: "What possible business did you have making contact with the witness, who was a witness to a live investigation or pending employment tribunal proceedings?"Dr Searle replied "no business".The consultant said she "probably" spoke to the healthcare assistant after Dr Glancy had done so, but could not be sure as "times have blurred into one" during the later admitted that speaking to the witness was a "flagrant breach" of previous warnings not to discuss the case. Dr Searle became emotional after Ms Cunningham named the healthcare worker, saying that the person involved was desperate to avoid any media had to leave the stand at that point, which Ms Cunningham later dubbed "an outburst". The lawyer suggested the emotion was not to do with any concern for the healthcare assistant but out of "a desire to protect yourself."Dr Searle denied this, and NHS Fife's lawyer Jane Russell said Ms Cunningham's questions on the matter "left a little to be desired". Timeline of the Sandie Peggie tribunal Giving evidence for a second day, Dr Searle was again quizzed regarding emails exchanged between senior staff in the aftermath of the Christmas Eve Cunningham focused on one message said to mention avoiding "foot in mouth syndrome" and that not all messages had been provided to the added Dr Searle's search for emails related to the case had either been "surprisingly incompetent or deliberately withholding" the Searle said she rejected the latter Cunningham accused Dr Searle of "turning up the emotional heat" with how she reported the incident in the replied that she had reported the incident as she saw it, with a junior doctor upset about something that had happened at Searle had told the tribunal on Tuesday she considered reporting the matter to Police Scotland as it could be considered a hate Cunningham asked Dr Searle if she would have recognised Dr Upton as trans if she had not been told, and claimed the junior doctor was "obviously male".The lawyer added that the Christmas Eve incident could have been resolved by Dr Upton leaving the changing room, rather than telling Ms Peggie to speak to management about Searle said she disagreed this would have been a suitable way to end the tribunal continues.

Sitting down for dinner? Make room for three screens! Brit families are relying on iPads and phones to get through meal times, study reveals
The modern family dinner is, it seems, a hive of communication – just not with each other. There are now an average of three devices being used at mealtimes, according to a study. Nearly two thirds of children are watching TV at the dinner table, while 42 per cent are scrolling on TikTok and 27 per cent are using Snapchat. Some 83 per cent of the 2,000 parents surveyed by Bupa said they'd like to ban screens at mealtimes but just 13 per cent have done so. However, 64 per cent of mums and dads admitted to using WhatsApp or texting at the dinner table while 30 per cent were looking at online shopping. Seventy per cent admit to using screens as a crutch to get them through mealtimes, with 63 percent of kids watching children's TV, 39 percent regularly looking at YouTube or cartoons - and 16 percent playing games or looking at TikTok on a phone or tablet. But 52 per cent of parents feel more conversations over dinner would be good for everyone's mental health - and 21 percent wish their children would talk to them about their feelings over mealtimes. And the report shows as many as one in ten (12 percent) parents feel the summer holidays make it even harder to have real conversations, especially at the dinner table, while 80 percent would love to talk more with their family about everyone's days. Bupa has launched new colouring-in tablemats designed to encourage mindfulness and spark conversations around mental health. Dr Elizabeth Rogers, associate clinical director at BupaHealth Clinics, said, 'It's clear from the research that parents really want to help their children open up and chat to them about their mental health and wellbeing, and sometimes it's hard to get away from screens to have those conversations. 'Whether you're eating at the dinner table or on laps in the living room, being together at mealtimes is a great opportunity to make space for conversations about your family's mental health.' Over a third (36 percent) wish they could sit down to eat together with the family more often, as they believe that nothing beats a family dinner (29 percent) and eating together is a good time to talk (28 percent). Harry Judd is an ambassador for Bupa's family mental health campaign, The Bupa Table, which encourages real families to put it all on the table and have a chance to open up and support each other through honest conversations. Harry said, 'As a parent I know the challenges of initiating those conversations about mental health and recognise that there isn't a one size fits all solution to getting someone talk about their struggles. 'No one should ever feel like they have to suffer in silence, which is why it's vital for me and my family to create that supportive space, helping my kids to understand that there is always time for us to talk, listen and check in with how everyone is feeling. It's about being present and making sure they know they can come to me whenever they're ready. 'Mindfulness is something my family practice regularly, it's important to remember that it's just as essential for children as for adults. 'Bupa's new tablemats are a great way to weave mindfulness and open conversations into our day-to-day, like at mealtimes, showing kids that their thoughts and feelings matter and that speaking about our emotional well-being is a natural part of everyday life.'
