Papilloedema, Parkinson's follow-up, and subhairline EEG - Editors' Highlights August 2026

The latest highlights from the journal will deliver confidence when managing complex everyday presentations. In this podcast for the August 2026 issue of Practical Neurology, co-editors Phil Smith and Geraint Fuller present the key highlights from a cracking 100-page edition spanning the full spectrum of neurological care. They examine how to accurately diagnose papilloedema and distinguish swollen optic discs from pseudo-swelling or other mimics. Next, they discuss a comprehensive guide to the Parkinson's disease follow-up consultation, focusing on non-motor symptoms, lifestyle advice, and long-term management. The editors also explore a structured approach to assessing neurogenic bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction, before covering the key clinical clues and investigations for evaluating pulsatile tinnitus. They also review the intricate link between chronic kidney disease and cognitive impairment, and finish with a critical look at the practical uses and limitations of subhairline EEG monitoring in neurocritical care.

Paediatric imaging and haematoma blocks: Primary Survey July 2026

This month, we start with a systematic review on smart ways to cut down unnecessary X-rays in kids with limb injuries. We also look at why subarachnoid haemorrhages get missed or diagnosed late, from both patient and doctor perspectives. A Best Evidence Topic (BET) review asks if simple haematoma blocks are as good as procedural sedation for resetting broken wrists. And finally, we dive into a UK study exploring what life is really like for early-career academic doctors in emergency care. Read the highlights: Primary survey (https://emj.bmj.com/content/43/7) Interventions to reduce imaging in children with upper or lower extremity injuries: a systematic review and meta-analysis (https://emj.bmj.com/content/43/7/435) Prospective patient-reported reasons for delayed diagnosis of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (https://emj.bmj.com/content/43/7/390) Haematoma block versus sedation for manipulating distal radius fractures in the emergency department (https://emj.bmj.com/content/43/7/448) Balancing act of academic clinical fellows in UK emergency medicine: a qualitative study (https://emj.bmj.com/content/43/7/419) The EMJ podcast is hosted by: Prof. Richard Body, EMJ Editor-in-Chief, University of Manchester, UK (@richardbody) Dr. Sarah Edwards, EMJ Senior Associate Editor and Social Media Editor, Royal Derby Hospital, UK (@drsarahedwards) You can subscribe to the EMJ podcast on all podcast platforms to get the latest podcast every month.

Children are bypassing the Australian social media ban

Australia has been in the vanguard of legislation to try and reduce the influence of social media on children and young people - their ban for under 16s was introduced on the 10th of December 2025, to great fanfare, and a lot of interest around the world. But how effective are these bans at keeping children away from social media? New research just published on BMJ.com has looked at that question of efficacy - finding that children are using the most simple tactics to evade the ban. To dicuss what that means, we're joined by two of the authors of that research Courtney Barnes and Luke Wolfenden from the University of Newcastle, Australia. We’re also joined by Amrit Purba, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Louise Holly, from the Digital Transformations for Health Lab, in Geneva, who have written commentaries to go with that research. Reading list Assessing early effects of Australia’s Social Media Minimum Age Act on adolescents’ social media use Learning from Australia’s social media age restriction policy Early data from Australia indicate that social media companies can’t be relied on to protect children

Solving corridor care, and return of spontaneous circulation: Primary Survey February 2026

"Should we be giving blood transfusions to patients with traumatic cardiac arrest?" EMJ editor Prof. Richard Body and associate editor Dr. Sarah Edwards talk through some original research on the value of blood transfusions in this difficult situation. Next is the new UNCORKED study from the Trainee Emergency Research Network (TERN), with some sobering statistics on the prevalence of emergency care carried out in non-standard treatment places across the UK. Then we move to a world of high-pressure injuries, often caused by industrial spraying equipment, where things on the surface aren't quite as they seem. The last paper returns to the theme of cardiac arrests, examining the predictive value of end-tidal CO2 usage. Read the highlights: Primary survey: The association of blood transfusion and sustained return of spontaneous circulation in blunt traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest Understanding corridor and escalation area care in 165 UK emergency departments: a multicentre cross-sectional snapshot study Recognising high-pressure injection injuries to the hand: a practice review with guidance for emergency physicians Prognostic accuracy of end-tidal carbon dioxide in cardiac arrest: a systematic review and meta-analysis The EMJ podcast is hosted by: Prof. Richard Body, EMJ Editor-in-Chief, University of Manchester, UK (@richardbody) Dr. Sarah Edwards, EMJ Senior Associate Editor and Social Media Editor, Royal Derby Hospital, UK (@drsarahedwards) You can subscribe to the EMJ podcast on all podcast platforms to get the latest podcast every month.
