Episode notes
Myo‑Inositol Not Protective in PCOS Pregnancy
- The MYPP randomized trial found myo-inositol did not reduce a composite of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or preterm birth in people with PCOS.
- High-quality, inclusive pregnancy research fills evidence gaps for populations historically excluded from trials.
Value Of Rigorous Pregnancy Research
- The MYPP trial demonstrates the value of rigorous randomized trials during pregnancy to generate realistic evidence.
- Including pregnant and postpartum people in research improves care for historically excluded populations.
Abbreviated MRI Can Detect Clinically Significant Cancer
- PRIME trial found biparametric MRI (no gadolinium) non-inferior to multiparametric MRI for detecting Gleason grade group 2+ prostate cancer.
- Abbreviated MRI may lower cost and increase access, though image quality varies across centers.
