In this latest Hot Topics Podcast, Neal Tucker reviews the latest knowledge about coronavirus and non-SARs-CoV2 research relevant to primary care.
We review new reports of Kawasaki-like disease in children with Covid-19 and the implications for children returning to school. We examine data on hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin suggesting it may kill more than it cures. And we have a think about testing and the new antibody tools.
In non-coronavirus research, we look at SGLT2i and renal disease, P2Y12 inhibitors and CVD secondary prevent, whether GPs are successful in helping patients with weight loss and gestational diabetes.
