This month’s topics include: asthma, maintenance versus as needed inhaler use, procalcitonin, Pneumocystis pneumonia prophylaxis, colon cancer screening, smoking cessation, cannabis and cognitive impairment, LDL cholesterol and mortality, plus some medical podcast recommendations.

Over the last month, we have developed a list of more than 40 interesting articles and news stories that we have been feeding our own brain holes. From this list we have plucked a select few that we really wanted to highlight and share with you.
