Hi HippocraTV fans! On the 8th of September 2016 Star Trek celebrated 50 years of being on our screens. Organised by my amazing sci-comm friend Jamie Gallagher (http://www.jamiebgall.co.uk/) I was invited to the Royal Institution to talk about medicine in Star Trek. I decided to do the talk on the medical devices they used and present day parallels. I rushed a bit (sorry for that!) as I only had 8 minutes and there's so much more to say about each of the devices and sadly there wasn't time to do all of the cool medicine portrayed in Star Trek. I'm thinking of doing a follow-up talk about space medicine. If you guys would like to see anything else, leave comments below or get in touch with us through Twitter or Facebook! :) The dull but important stuff: Although I received my degree and am a doctor, I am not practicing medicine at the moment and am currently working as a Science Communicator. My qualifications for talking at The Royal Institution were my years of studying and years of being a nerd! At one point I reference never having seen an "injection in the neck". To clarify, I meant that I have never seen a long needle being jabbed into someone to deliver a single dose of drugs as they so often so in TV/Cinema. The neck can be a really useful access point, especially for central lines! As with everything on HippocraTV, nothing should be taken as medical advice and please consult your own doctor with any questions or queries relating to your own health and ask your teachers at Med School if you have any queries about the science which we've not answered (even if we did, ask them too, it's always best to get different inputs when it comes to learning!)

The Zika Virus. It's an outbreak that's become a pandemic, responsible for a dramatic rise in birth defects - most notably microcephaly - in South America. But what is Zika? And should you be worried about it? In this week's video we'll talk through what causes Zika, how it's transmitted and how it's treated. For more detailed and up-to-date information from the experts, check out the YouTube channels for the Centre for Disease Control (CDCStreamingHealth) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).

We discuss a few paediatric respiratory conditions and how they're managed! Asthma, bronchiolitis, croup and diphtheria are covered. We also remind you of worrying signs include nasal flaring, intercostal recession, grunting and cyanosis. Reference Baldwin, A., 2016, Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialities
