Welcome to the 2 Minute Medicine® Podcast, summarizing the latest medical studies, curated and written by practicing physicians. On this podcast, twice a month, we cover the latest in healthcare news and research evidence.

We begin this episode by discussing our two articles of the week. Our first article of the week comes from the BMJ and is entitled ““Effect of a multifaceted antibiotic stewardship intervention to improve antibiotic prescribing for suspected urinary tract infections in frail older adults (ImpresU): pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial in four European countries.” Our second article of the week comes from JAMA Network Open and is entitled “Antipsychotic Medication Use Among Older Adults Following Infection-Related Hospitalization.”

In the second half of our episode, we bring a medical eye to popular events. We cover the role of continuous glucose monitors in managing diabetes, trends in maternal mortality, the connection between global warming and health, what to know about artificial sweeteners including erythritol and more!
