Thiazides for Kidney Stones, Hydrocortisone for Severe Pneumonia (CAPE COD), 2023 GOLD COPD Guidelines, Real World Use of Oral Antibiotics for Infective Endocarditis
About this episode
Today we have special guest, Dr. Sarah Gilligan, a nephrologist, to talk about the new study of thiazides for kidney stones. We all learn in medical school that thiazides reduce urinary excretion of calcium, but does that really translate to fewer kidney stones?
We also have Dr. Brian Locke on to talk about the CAPE COD trial, a big new critical care paper on using hydrocortisone in severe pneumonia, as well as the latest COPD guidelines and a retrospective study of oral antibiotics for infective endocarditis. Check it out!
