Inappropriate Testing and Treating of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria, Baricitinib Plus Remdesivir for COVID-19 (ACTT-2), COVID-19 Vaccine, Noninvasive Respiratory Protocol for COVID-19, Iron Supplementation in Acute Heart Failure

Today we have special guest Dr. Valerie Vaughn to talk about her new paper in Open Forum Infectious Diseases about inappropriate treatment and testing for asymptomatic bacteriuria.  Then we talk about the new ACTT-2 trial results of baricitinib plus remdesivir for COVID-19.  We also review the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine safety and efficacy results, a noninvasive respiratory protocol to reduce intubations in COVID-19, and iron deficiency in acute heart failure.
