The 2 Minute Medicine® Podcast- Episode 11

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 British Journal of Sports Medicine and is entitled “Dose–response effects of exercise and caloric restriction on visceral adiposity in overweight and obese adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials”. Our second article of the week comes from JAMA Network Open and is entitled “Performance of General Surgical Procedures in Outpatient Settings Before and After Onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic”.

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!
