This episode discusses new research and perspectives on various health topics including acute myeloid leukemia and reproductive health care.

This week, we feature new research on acute myeloid leukemia, achondroplasia, pediatric septic shock, and RAS-mutant lung cancer. We also review the evaluation and management of pulmonary nodules and follow a diagnostic case of recurrent fractures. Perspectives explore reproductive health care, the human–animal bond in health care access, and on creating space for patients’ voices in clinical decision making.
