Description:
Join us as we review recent practice-changing articles on the effect of combination statin and ezetimibe in reducing myalgias, male partner treatment for BV, semaglutide for MASH/liver fibrosis, exercise and cancer risk, and cytisinicline for smoking cessation. Fill your brain hole with some delicious apps and entrees from our spring Digests! Featuring Paul Williams (@PaulNWilliamz), Nora Taranto (@norataranto), special guest epidemiologist Alexander Chaitoff (@alexchaitoff) and Matt Watto (@doctorwatto).

Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:

  1. State the study design of the latest clinical trial comparing cytisinicline to placebo for smoking cessation.
  2. Identify limitations of the study comparing exercise to health-education materials alone in reducing colon cancer recurrence risk.
  3. Discuss the evidence supporting the use of moderate-intensity statin and ezetimibe compared to high-intensity statin in older adults with ASCVD.
