Iganädalases poliitilises vestlussaates "Räägime asjast" räägivad asjadest nii, nagu need on, EKRE poliitikud Mart ja Martin Helme."Me ju hoiatasime - süvariik on olemas. Nüüd teab isegi Postimees, et süvariik on olemas, nüüd teavad isegi advokaadid, et süvariik on olemas. Ainult peaprokurör veel ei näe," tõdetakse esimese teemana. "Poliitikas pole suuremat pattu, kui sul on õigus liiga vara, mille eest meid nuheldakse kogu aeg," on Martin Helme sarkastiline, lisades, et madu, mida rinnal soojendanud, on hammustanud peremeest ehk Isamaa on saanud prokuratuurilt kahtlustuse.Teisena räägitakse üleüldisest vastutamatusest Metsküla kooli sulgemise näitel.Välisteemana võetakse luubi alla Ukraina sõja rahastamine, kus Belgia on pannud kanna maha, kus ollakse olukorras, kus Ameerika enam ei rahasta ja Euroopal raha ei ole. Sellega seoses märgitakse ka Kaja Kallase häbijadade jätkumist.  Vestlussaade “Räägime asjast” on TRE Raadios ja Ring FM-is eetris pühapäeval kell 11 – 12 ja kordus samal õhtul kell 21 – 22. Samuti saab saadet kuulata Uute Uudiste portaalis ja taskuhäälingu-keskkondades (Spotify, Apple podcasts, Mixcloud).

Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve deep into a series of transformative events that underscore the dynamic nature of our industry, where scientific innovation meets regulatory evolution and market adaptation.We begin with significant regulatory news from Medicare, which recently announced price reductions for 15 prescription drugs, including Novo Nordisk's semaglutide products, Ozempic and Wegovy. This initiative is part of the Inflation Reduction Act aimed at making essential medications more affordable. By potentially increasing accessibility to these treatments, this move highlights a growing trend towards cost containment in drug pricing within the U.S. healthcare system. It reflects a broader effort to ensure that life-saving treatments remain within reach for more patients, emphasizing the need for balance between innovation and affordability.Turning to approvals, Otsuka has secured FDA clearance for Voyxact, a first-in-class treatment targeting IgA nephropathy (IgAN). This positions Otsuka in an increasingly competitive market space populated by major players like Novartis and Vertex. The entry of Voyxact could pave the way for innovative therapeutics in kidney diseases, offering new hope to patients who have had limited treatment options until now.On the other side of the Atlantic, French authorities have conducted a raid on Sanofi's headquarters as part of a tax fraud investigation. This development sheds light on ongoing scrutiny in the pharmaceutical sector regarding financial practices and regulatory compliance. Such investigations can have far-reaching implications on corporate governance and transparency, reminding us of the importance of ethical practices in maintaining industry trust.Novo Nordisk has strategically used its FDA national priority voucher to expedite the review process for a high-dose formulation of Wegovy. This move underscores the importance of regulatory incentives in accelerating drug development timelines, allowing for quicker patient access to potentially life-changing therapies. It's a testament to how strategic navigation through regulatory pathways can significantly impact drug availability.In clinical trials, Sarepta Therapeutics received FDA clearance to conduct a study combining its gene therapy Elevidys with sirolimus in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The study aims to address liver safety issues associated with Elevidys, which had led to previous label restrictions. This reflects the industry's commitment to enhancing therapeutic safety profiles while expanding treatment indications.In oncology advancements, AstraZeneca's Imfinzi received FDA approval for use in early-stage stomach cancer, marking its third perioperative indication. This approval underscores the expanding role of immunotherapy across various cancer types and stages, offering new treatment paradigms that could improve surgical outcomes and long-term patient survival.Despite these advances, there is skepticism regarding artificial intelligence's role in regulatory compliance submissions among pharmaceutical professionals. A survey reveals that 65% express distrust towards AI-generated outputs, highlighting challenges that AI technologies face in gaining acceptance within highly regulated environments such as pharmaceuticals. However, federal recommendations to revamp U.S. biotechnology research emphasize incorporating AI into scientific processes to maintain global competitiveness. This call reflects concerns over potential declines in innovation leadership and underscores the need for strategic investment in research infrastructure.In antitrust news, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) outlined its case agaiSupport the show

In this powerful Kidney Warrior Story, host Dee sits down with Tony to unpack a decade-spanning journey through chronic kidney disease (CKD)—from a shock Stage 4 diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) to Stage 5 kidney failure, peritoneal dialysis (PD) with brutal drain pain, a transition to haemodialysis (HD), line infection and coma, the courage to self-needle with a fistula, and ultimately the life-changing gift of a kidney transplant.   Tony shares the practical and emotional realities few hear about: choosing PD vs HD, APD (overnight machine) vs manual gravity bags, buttonhole vs rope-ladder needling, home haemodialysis training, fluid management, and rebuilding confidence after hospital trauma. He explains how movement and sport (from 5K Parkruns to half marathons) helped his mental health on dialysis—and how he kept going after FIVE “dry-run” transplant calls before finally receiving his match.   Post-transplant, Tony competed at the Transplant Games (bronze in cycling!), then faced a sudden cycling accident with a broken talus—and still came back stronger with kidney function over 90%. Tony's message? You're not alone. With support, information, and small, consistent steps, more is possible than you think.   WHAT YOU'LL HEAR • Early signs missed: high blood pressure and “white coat” assumptions  • Stage 4 to Stage 5 CKD: understanding IgA Nephropathy and next steps  • Peritoneal Dialysis (PD): APD vs gravity bags, real talk on drain pain  • Haemodialysis (HD): line infection → coma, then fistula and self-needling  • Buttonhole vs rope-ladder: how Tony overcame needle phobia  • Home HD routine + exercising safely on dialysis (5K to half marathons)  • Five transplant calls that didn't happen—coping tools that helped  • The call that changed everything: consent, surgery, waking the kidney  • Transplant Games success—and recovery after a serious cycling crash  • Mental health: therapy, peer groups, and why talking saves lives  • Practical tips: fluid limits, pacing activity, and building back slowly  • Community resources: Kidney Care UK, young adult kidney groups   KEY TAKEAWAYS • Movement is medicine—start with what you can manage (even 100 metres).  • Your effort matters—even when decline happens, you may be delaying harm.  • Build your circle: family, peers, clinicians, therapists, Kidney Care UK.  • Advocacy counts: read clinic posters, join groups, ask questions.  • Mindset + support = progress. Small daily actions add up.   If you're newly diagnosed or supporting someone with CKD, browse our back catalogue for in-depth episodes on PD, HD, transplant prep, and mental health.   Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior:

In this episode, we explore the evolving role of surrogate endpoints in the management of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), with a particular focus on the significance of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Of the completed Phase 3 trials in IgAN, one used time-weighted average eGFR, an area under the curve-based measure that reflects the average change in eGFR from baseline over a specified period, in this case, over the full 2-year study period. The other trial used total eGFR slope to describe the overall rate of change over 2 years. But what do these endpoints mean outside the setting of a clinical trial? Expert insights shed light on how proteinuria and eGFR trends can inform prognosis and guide treatment decisions in clinical practice over the long term. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how to interpret eGFR changes over time and apply this knowledge to optimize patient care. Designed for nephrology professionals, this episode offers practical, evidence-based perspectives on integrating these surrogate endpoints into the care of patients with IgAN.

Max Igan returns to the program to discuss Gaza and the Israeli onslaught that is ongoing. We discuss the strange, some say impossible, incompetency of the Israeli government on October 7th to stop the brutal assault of innocent Israelis followed by the total destruction of Gaza (not Hamas) and mass murder/genocide of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians. This topic is personal to Igan who has many friends who lived in the Gaza strip who are now dead, missing or without a home.

After attending ASN Kidney Week, Bluestar Principal Jeff Fineberg sits down with Dr. Pietro Canetta to talk all things IgA nephropathy (IgAN). After Dr. Canetta provides a brief summary of his IgAN lecture at Kidney Week, Emerging Therapeutic Options in IgA Nephropathy, the two discuss the Filspari (sparsentan) data presented from both the PROTECT study, in IgAN, the DUPLEX study, in FSGS. From there, Dr. Canetta opines on the value of surrogate endpoints in predicting the three D's of CKD: death, dialysis, and doubling of serum creatinine (SCr). Dr. Canetta briefly discusses Novartis' press release announcing the positive Phase II data with atrasentan, another ETA RA, before the conversation shifts to other drug classes and therapeutic targets, including SGLT2 inhibitors, and B-cell activation (i.e., APRIL/BAFF). Finally, Jeff asks Dr. Canetta about whether the recent advancements in IgAN are generalizable to other glomerular diseases, and what might be the determinants of this.
