Episode 291: Electronic cigarettes – blowing smoke at the evidence

In episode 291, James and Mike welcome back the smoking hot Mike Kolber to talk about the role of electronic cigarettes in helping smokers decrease smoking. We find out that e-cigarettes do seem to help some smokers quit smoking but the long-term adverse effects are unknown. At the end of the podcast all three of us, in the name of science, decide to take up smoking to do an n-of-3 trial of e-cigarettes but our attempt goes out the windows when the fire alarms go off.

Episode 290: PREMIUM – Empagliflozin and the EMPA-REG OUTCOME study

In episode 290, James and Mike address listener demands for a discussion on the latest diabetes outcomes trial that looked at empagliflozin, a new class of medications for type-2 diabetes. This study actually showed the group who received this new drug had a reduction in CVD events and other clinically important outcomes. While this is a good finding, upcoming trials of other medications in this class will help put this drug into a context.
