2025/03/07

Tirzepatide & Weight Maintenance 💊📉 A phase 3 clinical trial (SURMOUNT-4) showed that continued use of tirzepatide helps maintain weight loss in adults with obesity. Participants on tirzepatide lost an extra 5.5%, while those on placebo regained 14%. ✅ 89.5% maintained at least 80% of their weight loss, compared to 16.6% on placebo. Common side effects were mild gastrointestinal issues 🤢. Stopping treatment led to significant weight regain, reinforcing the need for long-term therapy. 🔬

🧠💉 Nerinetide in Stroke: Hope or Hype? 🚑🔬

Dr RR Baliga"s "Got Knowledge Doc" Podkast ·

2025/02/23

Nerinetide is a neuroprotective eicosapeptide designed to reduce ischemic brain injury by disrupting the interaction between N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and downstream excitotoxic signaling. It was tested in two major clinical trials for acute ischemic stroke: • ESCAPE-NEXT Trial: Assessed Nerinetide in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) without prior thrombolysis, finding no significant improvement in functional independence at 90 days. • FRONTIER Trial: Evaluated

Assessing Hearing in Suspected Stroke: A Diagnostic...

Dr RR Baliga"s "Got Knowledge Doc" Podkast ·

2025/02/22

Acute hearing loss can be an early sign of posterior circulation stroke, particularly in anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) infarctions. However, hearing assessments are often overlooked due to the NIH Stroke Scale’s focus on anterior strokes. Real-world data showed missed diagnoses of vascular events when hearing loss was not evaluated. Integrating portable audiometry into stroke protocols could improve diagnostic accuracy and lead to timely interventions.

Three recent trials investigated the effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) in ischemic stroke. The OPENS-2 trial (Lancet 2025) found that normobaric hyperoxia combined with EVT improved 90-day functional outcomes for large-vessel occlusion stroke without increasing adverse events. The DISTAL trial (NEJM 2025) reported no significant benefit of EVT over medical therapy for medium/distal vessel occlusions and noted a higher risk of hemorrhage. Similarly, the ESCAPE-MeVO trial (NEJM 2025) found
