    Episode 4: A Rare Disease Breakthrough and Tirzepatide Meets Psoriasis

    This week I cover a phase 3 trial out of the New England Journal of Medicine on a first in class oral treatment for dermatomyositis, a rare and difficult to treat autoimmune disease, and a JAMA Dermatology study on combining a psoriasis biologic with tirzepatide, the drug class behind Mounjaro, to simultaneously treat psoriasis and obesity.

    Episode 3: Strokes, the Unconscious Mind, and the Science Behind Mim8

    This week on Medicine Weekly, I share what I learned about a new study researching how to activate the clotting cascade. I also break down a major stroke trial that came back negative and why that matters, and I cover a new Nature study showing that the unconscious brain continues to process language and learn while under general anesthesia.

    Episode 2: AFib, Video Games, and the Future of Bleeding Control

    This week I cover a NEJM study asking whether PFA should be the new standard treatment for AFib instead of a life of taking pills, a JAMA trial on whether video games can make emergency physicians better at triage, and some new research from Nature on synthetic blood clots that can stop bleeding in seconds using Nobel prize winning chemistry.
