  1. Renal Denervation: Not Dead Yet? A new analysis of the study that derailed the promise of catheter-based renal denervation may breathe new life into the procedure.
  2. 3 Ways to Select ICU Kids for Seizure Monitoring. Not all children with severe brain injuries need to be monitored for subclinical seizures, researchers said here, which means that resources can be focused on those at the highest risk.
  3. New Diabetes Meds: The Year in Review. This year brought two new sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to the market, giving physicians more options in a class that has been touted for not only its glucose-lowering effects but also for weight loss and blood pressure reductions.
  4. Fish Oil for RA: Treat to Target? Patients with early rheumatoid arthritis receiving “triple therapy” with conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) were less likely to respond inadequately when given supplementary fish oil.
