Incretin-based therapies, such as GLP1RAs, offer key benefits for T2DM, obesity, and CV health, yet high costs and access barriers limit their widespread use. See our article ⬇️ and learn strategies to overcome disparities in incretin-based treatment. 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

There is no panacea. See my commentary on the negative results of OCEANIC-AF in high-risk atrial fibrillation patients & factor XIa inhibition. The essence of medicine is continuing evolution through basic research & randomized clinical trial evidence. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It is Superbowl time in NOLA. Out for my long walk- 75 degrees, in shorts and tee shirt. My buddy is getting some sun also (look closely over my shoulder)!

For inquiring minds from this past weekend: this very real alligator is wild in a nature area bayou in NOLA EAST. This is NOT AI  and not a zoo or fenced off area. I don't know how the turtle got on the gator's back! #NewOrleans #SuperBowl2025
