Ay-Young Her presenting JCR-DCB registry analysis of STEMI outcomes in DCB vs DES in STEMI showed better outcomes with DEB st 2 yrs. im sure that there are unmeasured confounders at play given even size- but i think it still is a viable strategy in selected pts. We need a dedicated RCT

My heartfelt condolences to the people of Sri Lanka who have lost their loved ones due to Cyclone Ditwah. I pray for the safety, comfort and swift recovery of all affected families. In solidarity with our closest maritime neighbour, India has urgently dispatched relief materials and vital HADR support under Operation Sagar Bandhu. We stand ready to provide more aid and assistance as the situation evolves. Guided by India’s Neighbourhood First policy and Vision MAHASAGAR, India continues to stand firmly with Sri Lanka in its hour of need. @anuradisanayake

I strongly believe that CBSL Governor Nandalal Weerasinghe and former Treasury Secretary Mahinda Siriwardena deserve the Sri Lankabhimanya award (the highest civilian award in Sri Lanka). It is because of the two of them as government employees that Sri Lanka is back to normal today. Dr Nandalal Weerasinghe shaped the monetary policy and Mahinda Siriwardena shaped the fiscal policy. Sri Lanka could have easily gone down the path of Lebanon or Venezuela with instability but as government servants, both of them did an outstanding job. Sri Lanka's economic recovery will be a case study for decades. The other reason I would like both Dr Nandalal Weerasinghe and Mahinda Siriwardena to get the Sri Lankabhimanya is the time they took over the positions of Central Bank Governor and Treasury Secretary respectively. It was a time of cause where things could have gone worse which could have risked their entire career reputation. But they took the risk, not for a small government salary they were to receive but for the country when it needed them the most. If President Anura Kumara Dissanayake can award these two outstanding Sri Lankans, Sri Lanka's highest civilian award, it would set a great example for all public sector workers and also encourage Sri Lankans in future to step up when the country needs them the most. They truly deserve it.
