Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: https://t.co/xwLWBZYRzq

Rasneet Kaur, 22, daughter of @PSPCLPb lineman Jaswinder Singh of Rajpura, has cracked UPSC in her first attempt, securing AIR 51.

She relied on self study, took help from online platforms and spent one year at home to prepare for the exam.

Ozempic may reduce the mortality risk from colon cancer.

Colon cancer patients taking GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) were less than half as likely to die within 5 years.

This new study suggests GLP-1 drugs might specifically target obesity-driven inflammatory and metabolic pathways known to accelerate colon cancer progression.

There are several mechanisms by which GLP-1 agonists may suppress tumor growth, including weight loss, improving glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity, and lowering inflammation.

There is also some interesting in-vitro cell culture data indicating that these drugs may directly slow cancer cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and remodel the tumor microenvironment itself.

Exciting data. More research is needed.

Impact of Semaglutide 2.4 mg on body composition and function: The SEMALEAN study shows 13% weight loss at 12 months with preserved lean mass, improved grip strength, and reduced sarcopenic obesity. Functional and metabolic health improved alongside fat loss.

When I was a 3rd year resident already matched into cardiology we had an EKG conference. I was asked to interpret an EKG that was classic for pericarditis but I didn’t recognize any of the findings. I just hadn’t seen much pericarditis in training. I was embarrassed to miss this when I was headed for a career in cards.

Fast forward a couple of years to when I was a fellow and an ED attending showed me an EKG and asked me what I thought it showed. It took me about 2 seconds to recognize it was pericarditis because I had seen it so many times before. A huge change in my skills had occurred from experience.

One of the cool things about medicine is mastering that which once seemed confusing or difficult. As you move along in training things that were challenging or even overwhelming will become so easy they are almost second nature. It’s a cool journey. If you’re in the middle of it, enjoy the ride.
