Swabs vs. Urine Spoon Feed

Vaginal swabs are more accurate than urine samples in diagnosing Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis. These results support CDC recommendations that vaginal swabs are the preferred sample modality when testing for STIs in women.


Infants and COVID Spoon Feed

Infants who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 were less likely to have UTI, bacteremia, and bacterial meningitis.

Hi! I've been practicing emergency medicine for over 20 years and started JournalFeed. I'm the Chief Spoon-Feeder, which means I either write or edit everything that's posted on the JournalFeed blog. But Nick totally runs the show with the podcast!
