Episode Description

This week, we explore a phase 3 trial of finerenone in type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease and guidance on timing of nonculprit-lesion PCI after STEMI. We cover an investigational therapy for Dravet syndrome and neoadjuvant treatment for high-risk intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. We review the effects of radiotherapy on normal tissue, a puzzling case of progressive neurologic decline after suspected foodborne illness, and Perspectives on private equity, the AHEAD model, and medical credit cards.
