In the news today, I discuss two articles:
The first, from Medpagetoday.com, talks about using urine to diagnose appendicitis in children. Researchers have found biomarkers that appear to be 97% specific to appendicitis. A potentially massive breakthrough in helping to diagnose appendicitis (not to mention saving time in the ED)!
The second article is also from Medpagetoday.com and discusses cardiovascular disease, inflammation and the link to death from acute episodes. Researchers have found a link between IL6 and CRP and death from acute episodes of CVD. Another potentially major breakthrough in diagnoses and management of chronic problems.
And finally, I finish discussing burns and their treatment.

Hereâ??s the podcastâ?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦.enjoy!!
