Episode Details

The FDA has granted accelerated approval to semaglutide (Wegovy) as the first drug for metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH), showing significant improvements in liver health and weight loss in the phase 3 ESSENCE trial. A systematic review of acetaminophen use in pregnancy found potential risks with long-term or frequent use but confirmed short-term, low-dose use remains appropriate when needed. Finally, an AI model integrating MRI, biomarkers, and clinical data improved prediction of knee osteoarthritis progression, enhancing physician accuracy and suggesting future support for earlier, personalized interventions.
