Monday Spoon Feed:

In patients hospitalized with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), beta-lactam (BL) only antibiotic regimens have been shown to have increased mortality as compared to other first-line regimens.

Friday Spoon Feed:

Tidal volume (TV) delivered is hard to control during cardiac arrest, and evidence has shown that over-ventilation can be detrimental in physiological parameters integral to cardiac arrest survival. Small bags were thus integrated into a single EMS system to help combat over-ventilation. Paradoxically, large bags had a greater likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA).
