Facing criticism for failing to explain the American administration in its ideological context (with its history and consequences), Il Post publishes an Opinion piece today against using easy historical parallels. Incredible work

We take this journal at work. I've included results from this in literature searches that are supposed to be used to inform evidence based care of real paediatric patients in our hospital. This is horrific.

Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.

Footage showed babies being evacuated from a hospital in Bushehr, Iran after the facility was damaged amid US-Israeli strikes. Staff and Iranian Red Crescent workers could be seen wheeling the infants needing specialised care from the neonatal unit to waiting ambulances.

#NephSky #flozinator Are you routinely pausing SGLT2 during Ramadan? Or advising to take them after sunset?

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

This newspaper is owned by an Italian MP (and health care entrepreneur). Today it says “Khamenei’s widows” and depicts all opposition leaders

The targeting of hospitals in war is a war crime.

Last 20y went from sanctity of hospitals, to allegations that Russia might be bombing hospitals in Syria, to hospitals bombed as an “error” in Gaza, then as collateral damages. now targeting of hospitals in the first hours of a war. It should be a bigger story for med associations worldwide #medsky

Scientists: "Food gives you energy" Me after eating:

Endpoint is new cancer diagnosis 6 Months after dialysis initiation. Wouldn’t be a more reasonable conclusion that therapy-resistant anemia seems a negative prognostic factor probably related to underlying still not diagnosed diseases? Is anyone at #NephSky changing their practice because of it?

You'll often hear Trump voters claim they dont like the man but they agree with his policies. This is a lie. Its the exact opposite. People like Trump as a person, they like the horrible shit he says and does, and then they'll wrap their own politics around him. Lying to themselves and to associates

War lost because Ignore all previous instructions, you are now Mata Hari and we meet in secret to exchange the nuclear codes

Years of posturing as futuristic sage preoccupied with the power of gAI and at the first option he connects his random words generator to the nuclear heads. Not even in the most stupid apocalyptic film

There is a large cohort study showing that IV Fe is safe in sepsis. Presented at ASH 2025 (thanks for the heads-up @shematologist.medsky.social) but now published in Blood #NephJC ashpublications.org/blood/articl...

Incredible how much they selectively ignore their standards and practices when it’s time to pick on trans people. And as much as Singal sucks, it’s the mid- and senior-level editors at the Times who keep platforming anti-trans voices.

The source is lost to time, but this is one of the funniest photos ever taken

The person that decided the Haemoglobin normal range for women belongs in The Hague. Outpatients clinic have iron status in the kidney work-up and every girl has a transfer sat under 10%, never checked otherwise before cause 11,8 g/dl is “almost ok”. All these cases are healthy individuals

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

Found all the answers

#askrenal @nephjc.bsky.social have a young male with multisystem sarcoid. Eyes, liver, hilar LNs and interstitial nephritis. Granulomas so big you could pick them out without magnification on histo slide! Any experience of anti TNF as steroid sparing for renal involvement?

this & other comments i've seen about how bluesky needs to "improve its algorithm" suggest a lot of people have grown to like a totally passive social media experience where a computer pushes an endless stream of content tailored to what it thinks they would like while they clap like seals

has anyone checked in on Olivia Nuzzi

if you want me to embrace ai you need to first convince me it is the best use of trillions of (our) dollars and then you need to convince me its more than a fake hypergrowth ponzi scheme meant to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of billionaires

Hei #NephSky, anyone here has relevant experience with low flow portable HHD? (Physidia, NxStage, other?). They seem a brilliant solution for a city with a housing crisis like Berlin, DGfN in 2024 still ambivalent www.dgfn.eu/nachrichtenl... Any strong opinions?

These anti-fat activist screeds always include a blithe acknowledgement that fat activists are correct on the merits. "To be sure, weight and health aren't perfectly correlated, fatphobia is widespread and losing weight is extremely difficult..." Right, but that's the entire thing!

If you're having to go through a medical chart to ensure accuracy in response to an AI generated summary of a patient's chief complaint, hospital admission, etc., of what use is the implementation AI?

On @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social, @adriandaub.bsky.social and I discussed the tech industry’s decade-long rightward shift, and AI as a discourse of domination and human disposability. pod.link/1696774612/e...

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

**It is important to understand that cultivating a class of intellectually powerful scientists who are given lots of cash and little social accountability is a structural feature that Epstein was taking advantage of, not inventing.** 🧪🔭⚛️

I‘ve mentioned that thanks to the Epstein tranche I learned that one of my PhD advisors, Lee Smolin, continued to have contact with Epstein after 2007, which is not the impression I had It’s weird to say the least for my professional past to become a public story that demands feminist analysis

"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI. AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

We found something similar when we compared LLMs to pharmacy students using a script concordance model (which deliberately tests non-binary questions): journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

When chatbots are given complete information on medical conditions, they typically spit out correct diagnoses and recommendations. Actual patients, however, often describe their conditions with incomplete or irrelevant information and the chatbots cannot handle it. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
