Last Week in Medicine
Wouldn't it be nice if someone reviewed all the latest internal medicine literature and distilled it into a brief podcast you could listen to on your way to work? Get updates from the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA Network, Annals of Internal Medicine, Journal of Hospital Medicine, Journal of General Internal Medicine, Lancet and more.
Last Week in Medicine
Weekly Semaglutide for Weight Loss (STEP 1, 2 and 3 Trials), 4PEPS Rule for Pulmonary Embolism, Nafcillin vs Cefazolin for Epidural Abscess, Ferritin/Procalcitonin Ratio for COVID19, Intermediate Thromboprophylaxis for COVID19
Today we are doing double duty: podcasting and parenting. Fortunately our babies were well-behaved. We talk about three trials for semaglutide and weight loss and a new 4 level pre-test probability rule for diagnosing PE. We also talk about a retrospective study of cefazolin vs nafcillin for epidural abscess, a ferritin/procalcitonin ratio for differentiating bacterial from COVID pneumonia, and a new randomized controlled trial of intermediate thromboprophylaxis for ICU patients with COVID19. Check it out!
