Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia in People Assigned Female at Birth

The experience of treating and/or losing a patient to anal cancer is deeply upsetting. Therefore, the early detection and treatment of precursors are of utmost importance to patients and clinicians. People with HIV have a higher prevalence and incidence of Human Papilloma Virus infection, an oncogenic virus, which may cause intraepithelial neoplasia, the precursor of squamous cell carcinomas in the anal canal. Though encouraging progress has been made to support gay and bisexual men and transgender women with HIV from developing anal cancer, research and health policies do not offer specific prevention strategies against anal cancer in people assigned female at birth. In this podcast Dr Tamzin Cuming outlines progress made so far and areas of research and health care that need further attention. Links: https://iansoc.org/Board-of-Directors Host: Ass. Prof./Dr. Fabiola Martin, BMJ STI Podcast Editor, Sexual Health and HIV Specialist, Clinical Associate Professor, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Guest: Dr Tamzin Cuming, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon, President of International Anal Neoplasia Society, Homerton Hospital, in London, UK

Recurring migraine, and unintentional weight loss - Case Reports February 2026

What unsuspecting dangers lie within a garden compost bin? The Case Reports team are back to uncover a new pair of neurological mysteries. The first case this episode (1:24) comes from Edinburgh, centred on an 88-yo woman who presents with headache and eye-pain on her right side. She receives an early diagnosis of migraine, but returns a few weeks later with intermittent vomiting and subsequent progressive visual loss. https://pn.bmj.com/content/26/1/83 The second case (19:51) from Wessex features a common presentation of tingling feet, with a 62-yo man who develops gait instability. More curious are a significant drop in his weight, as well as a scaly patch on his chest. https://pn.bmj.com/content/26/1/63 The case reports discussion is hosted by Prof. Martin Turner¹, who is joined by Dr. Ruth Wood² and Dr. Babak Soleimani³ for a group examination of the features of each presentation, followed by a step-by-step walkthrough of how the diagnosis was made. These case reports and many others can be found in the February 2026 issue of the journal.

Radiologically isolated syndrome: managing the preclinical phase of MS

What should a neurologist do when a routine MRI for migraine reveals incidental white matter lesions that look remarkably like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), despite the patient having no neurological symptoms? The Editors' Choice paper for the April 2026 issue of Practical Neurology is a practical guide to the clinical diagnosis and management of radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS). Author Dr. Audrey Reynolds¹ joins PN podcast editor Dr. Amy Ross Russell to discuss her work on how updated diagnostic criteria and advanced imaging markers now enable a more proactive, biological approach to the disease. Their discussion highlights the importance of risk stratification - using tools like CSF analysis and spinal imaging - to identify those most likely to benefit from early intervention with disease-modifying therapies. They also examine the delicate balance between preventing future disability and avoiding misdiagnosis in this rapidly evolving area of neurology.
