AI and DTB, drug safety, tirzepatide, and lecanemab for Alzheimer's disease

In this podcast accompanying the August issue of DTB (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/8), David Phizackerley (DTB Editor) is joined by James Cave (former DTB Editor-in-Chief). David and James discuss an editorial generated by artificial intelligence (AI) (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/8/114) which looks at the role of AI in publishing. They talk about a DTB Forum article (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/8/115) that explores some of the practical problems of implementing drug safety alerts.  A DTB Select article (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/8/117) provides an overview of a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial of tirzepatide for weight reduction in people without diabetes. They finish by reviewing the main article (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/8/118) that provides an overview of the evidence for lecanemab for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.   Link BMJ policy on AI use: https://www.bmj.com/content/ai-use    Please subscribe to the DTB podcast to get episodes automatically downloaded to your mobile device and computer.
