The Lancet Pulse – Details, episodes & analysis

The field of pathology is starting to look very different, as we increasingly understand the potential for AI to support clinical diagnosis and decision-making, alleviate high clinician workloads, and perform complex tasks that humans can't. 

But the adoption of AI isn't without challenges. Sebastian Försch and Inti Zlobec join Ben Abbott and Chloe Wilson, from The Lancet, to discuss.

Professor Rachel Yehuda from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai describes psychedelics as “heart openers” and Dr. Liliana Galindo from the University of Cambridge likens their action to a surgeon’s scalpel, but each agree that psychedelic-assisted therapy may offer lasting relief to people struggling with a wide range of mental health problems. 

Both join Lancet editors Jonathan and Matt to discuss the burgeoning field of psychedelic-assisted therapy. LSD, MDMA, 5-MeO-DMT, psilocybin, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance-use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder; potentially-pivotal phase 3 trial data are maturing amid growing interest from regulators and investors, but many practical questions remain before the patients most in need may benefit from this psychedelic renaissance.
