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!
