| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Greg Jenna and good news, Your Dead to Me is back for a new series. Here we go. Yes, we'll explore Emperor Nero's notorious reign with Professor Marybeard and Patton Oswald. I would not want my daughter having the remote control, not alone an empire. We'll dissect the decadent life of Philippe Duke-Dor-Leon with Tom Allen. I've often tried to pretend I'm an aristocrat |
| 0:20.9 | and being very quickly knocked down. |
| 0:23.1 | And there'll be so much more |

| 0:40.5 | Hello and welcome to Inside Health. Coming up today, we were all transfixed by the images of the doctors |
| 0:46.2 | and paramedics working on footballer Fabrice Mouambra after he collapsed on Saturday. But what were |
| 0:51.1 | they doing and why? We have an insider's guide to the science behind resuscitation. |
| 0:56.1 | I'll also be revealing new research suggesting that one and a half million or so women in the UK with polycystic ovary syndrome could be at increased risk of an early heart attack. |
| 1:05.3 | Having PCOS as a young woman, it's like a yellow card. It's like a warning signal that unless you can change the track of your life in terms of diet and lifestyle, you may get rather more severe problems later in life. |
| 1:18.6 | A controversial test that has divided doctors for years. Does PSA screening for prostate cancer actually make any difference. I'll be talking to a leading specialist |
| 1:27.6 | about new findings from a landmark European study that suggests it does. And garlic. Can it really |
| 1:33.8 | lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, ward off the common cold, and protect against cancer. Dr Max |
| 1:39.3 | Pemberton investigates. Oh, you can smell the garlic. Can't you? Can you smell it? Yeah. It's quite overwhelming. |
| 1:47.8 | But first, CPR and defibrillators. We're all used to seeing both in action, normally in dramas like ER and casualty, rather than for real, as happened when footballer Fabrice Muamba had a cardiac arrest during a match at the weekend. But what's the science behind chest compressions and defibrillators? |
| 2:04.0 | Dr Kevin Fong is a consultantistist at University College Hospital London. |
| 2:07.6 | Kevin, what actually happens to the heart in a typical cardiac arrest? |
| 2:12.2 | Well, the cardiac arrest means that the heart has either come to a standstill or is fibrillating, which means it's just wriggling like a bag of worms. But the important feature is that no blood is moving, that you don't have a circulation remaining. So you can't deliver blood laden with fresh oxygen to the rest of the body. And this is where the defibrillator comes in. We talk about the heart fibrillating. |
