Fibrillary Light Chain Proximal Tubulopathy: A Distinct Subtype within the Spectrum of Light Chain Proximal Tubulopathy #nephsky #nephrology www.modernpathology.org/article/S089...

New game with the hubby is calling everything we see on #ThePitt. Tonight I called “posterior wall MI” but he beat me to “they don’t have insurance!”

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Please share. 💔

A person who said they witnessed federal agents shoot and kill Alex Jeffrey Pretti submitted a sworn statement in court disputing the federal government’s account of the shooting. “I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong,” the person said in the statement.

That was murder.

Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, was a U.S. citizen with no criminal record, an official said. He was a registered nurse who worked in the intensive-care unit at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. nyti.ms/4t3ekJW

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

#ThePitt S2E3 is a little bit preachy but I still love this show. 😍

"that's craaaazzzy loooww" i love my nonchalant princess joy kwon #thepitt

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today is one of the most insightful, albeit sobering, political speeches in a long time. Carney tells it as it is: "If you're not at the table you'll be on the menu." Well worth finding the time to watch: www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

Another example of how IgAN is not a benign disease. Middle age pt with CKD, hematuria, proteinuria. Strong mesangial IgA staining and deposits by EM. Unfortunately extensive IFTA at diagnosis. Can we catch these pts earlier? #renalpath #athsky #nephsky

Did not expect to see that. #ThePitt 🍆

Venezuela. Minneapolis. Iran. It's only 14 days into 2026....

I’m back. #artsky #anatomyart

So we’re not supposed to believe our eyes when we’ve seen multiple videos that confirm what we know we saw?

The Pitt is back!

Tim Walz: "What we're seeing is the consequences of governance designed to generate fear, headlines, and conflict. It's governing by reality today and today that recklessness cost someone their life. I've reached out to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and I'm waiting to hear back ... I'm angry."

Very 1984.

@drnicolecampbell.bsky.social once again wowing us with a showstopper at the @ciiid-hudson.bsky.social Xmas party. Individual macarons shaped like different the cells we work on, including #macrophage #neuron #NKcell #astrocyte #bacteria #virus Amazing! 🧪👩‍🍳

T2d Primary end-point #NephJC Percentage of patients with at least 1 CV event: 🐟20.8% [127 pts] vs 🌽33.7% [208 pts] Recurrent events: 🐟4.3% vs 🌽10.5% 🎣Holy Mackerel!

T2h Composite outcomes of the study favored fish oil. #NephJC ● Cardiac death: HR around 0.55. ● Myocardial infarction: about a 44% reduction. ● Peripheral vascular events leading to amputation: lower in the fish oil arm. ● Stroke: lowest hazard ratio of all outcomes, of around 0.37

Yesterday, @who.int published a guideline in JAMA on the use and indications of #GLP-1 therapies for the management of #obesity in adults. The guideline offers two conditional recommendations to inform clinical practice and health policy. Read the guideline: ja.ma/48hMMa2

6/10 Give me something clever to say 🤓 IgAN is no longer one-size-fits-all. Timing matters. Excitingly, tailored treatment is slowly becoming a reality. @doctorgates.bsky.social

1/10 Last #NephJC we discussed the ORIGIN 3 trial which investigated the use of Atacicept in IgAN #TenPostNephJC Read the article 👇 www.nejm.org/doi/10....#NephJC

Forgot to post the two at plenary on Thursday FINEONE: finerenone in T1DM ORIGIN: Atacicept (pronounced attack-e-sept) in IgAN (pronounced eye-gee-A-N) Possible NEJM or Lancet simulpubs? #KidneyWk

watch out - ORIGIN-3 and FINEONE likely simultaneous publications tomorrow morning! #KidneyWk

Renal tubular epithelial cell cast (Sternheimer-Malbin stain) under 1000x bright field. Pt with nephrotic range proteinuria, suspected GN. Note small lipid droplets on most inferior cell in the cast.

Tried to clean and organize my library today…

In a CKD pt, the fear of giving iv contrast during a CT (to diagnose cancer) is more than the fear of cancer. I need radiologists/techs to understand that A. If I’ve signed the form, I know what I’m doing! B. The risk of “contrast nephrotoxicity” is negligible, perhaps non-existent. Read the lit!

I kinda feel like I’d missing out on a lot by not attending Kidney Week 2025, but I really, really don’t want to go to the US anytime soon.

🌿 Herbal medicine: tradition… but also risk. Some plants are nephrotoxic and can injure the kidneys. 📖 In Tropical Nephrology 2025, we review mechanisms of kidney injury linked to medicinal plants. 🔗 link.springer.com/chapter/10.1... #Nephrology #TropicalMedicine #KidneyHealth

“When you die, it is either the end of everything – you are gone, snuffed out, finished, or there is something. I happen to believe there is something – so I can’t think of a more exciting adventure than finding out what the something is.” - Jane Goodall www.ft.com/content/9600...

Stayed home today and decided to do some art.

There are protests against corruption going on all over our country today. I cannot go (long story), but I stand in solidarity with them.

So excited for this, @glombandit.bsky.social !
