To be honest, I think it is much more effective and safer to just learn analyzing venous blood gases directly.

The biopsy shows linear IgG staining along the GBM, and extensive fibrinogen staining within the Bowman space, consistent with crescent formation. These findings are diagnostic of anti-GBM disease. #renalpath #kidneypath #pathology #renal

I am BEGGING major journals to stop platforming the current administration's politicization of the FDA, CDC, vaccines, etc This sort of evidence-lite, glitzy puff piece seems appropriate for a newspaper OpEd, not a medical journal. Platforming it in a major journal gives it the veneer of validity.

It's been a long journey but today we can share the methods and rationale for the #ACHIEVEtrial (Spiro vs placebo for patients with kidney failure receiving maintenance dialysis) and tomorrow we share the results at #era25 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

This is me : this is how I scan electronic health records when I try to find the cause of a kidney issue or sort out a complicated medical history. I have refrained from using the phrase "binary search" with my trainees as many will tune out because "computers," but perhaps I should start?

1/17 [Why] is furosemide susceptible to malabsorption from "gut edema"? When a patient with heart failure is hospitalized with congestion I often hear "let's use IV furosemide; they're probably not absorbing the PO." It's a comment unique to furosemide. But is it accurate?
