Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Pennsylvania's Measles Outbreak Signals to the Nation
Q: So, what's Pennsylvania doing to contain the outbreak, and how is it expected to progress?
The state is holding pop-up vaccination clinics and seeing increased demand for MMR doses. Earlier or accelerated doses may be recommended for some children in affected areas, and spread is likely to continue until vaccination increases or the virus runs out of susceptible people.
What Pennsylvania's Measles Outbreak Signals to the Nation
Q: Is the Pennsylvania measles outbreak the new normal? Give us a sense of what's happening in the state right now.
Pennsylvania has reported more than 1,300 cases, hundreds of hospitalizations, and six deaths. Most cases are among people without both MMR doses, and adults account for an unusually high proportion.
More Women Than Ever Are Using Testosterone
Q: So where is the evidence strongest?
The strongest evidence is for modest improvements in aspects of sexual function among postmenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder when doses keep testosterone within the normal premenopausal range. No validated testosterone blood level diagnoses the condition or identifies who needs treatment.
More Women Than Ever Are Using Testosterone
Q: A recent FDA workshop brought new attention to the push for a testosterone product designed specifically for women. What prompted it?
Public comments at an FDA panel on testosterone for men largely came from women asking why they lacked an FDA-approved option. This prompted a workshop on evidence and approval pathways for menopausal women, amid rising testosterone prescribing and widespread off-label use.
What's Next for Lp(a)?
Q: What might we learn from the full trial results?
The full results may clarify whether any subgroups benefited, which cardiovascular events differed between treatment groups, and whether adverse effects and withdrawals affected the primary analysis.
