Who got this email this morning and said "Oh shit!"?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

The more the textbook needs this; the less likely it is to include it.

Last night of Chanukah

Today we celebrate Interventional Nephrology Day, held on December 17 in honor of the birthday of Dr. Gerald Beathard, founder of Interventional Nephrology. Join us as we recognize his legacy and the specialty he built. 💜 #InterventionalNephrologyDay #DrGeraldBeathard

Going miss #NephJC tonight. At the Chris Isaac concert.

"Crypto-Standard Science" explains a lot of what is happening right now. FDA requiring 1 clinical trial instead of 2 for drug approval? Crypto-Standard Science FDA proposing "impossible" standards for vaccine testing? CSS FDA holding closed-door meetings with Russell Brand? CSS

This episode of Freely Filtered has chapters, detailed show notes with links, and relevant chapter art

Happy Chanukah

Any Renal dietitianss want to take a crack at this and defend your honor?

i think you should pause and reconsider a lot of things if your patient is on both fludrocortisone and spironolactone.

Freely Filtered #87: Can Fish Oil Knock the Crap out of Dialysis Associated CV Disease? We tried to find a problem with PISCES and came up with an empty net. Time to get your supplements on for your dialysis patients! www.nephjc.com/freelyfilter...

8/10#NephJC Quote of the fortnight From our fearless leader @kidneyboy.bsky.social Salmon call a doctor, because fish oil is amazing!!

Stop complaining about pill burden in ESRD! There is no pill you are giving your dialysis patient that has data half as impressive as this study. If they are taking too many pills have them stop any of the dozen pills they are taking with ZEERO data in ESRD. #NephJC

I am sure there will be a replication study but I hope they don't use a HR of 0.55 for their power analysis. I believe these results but the effect size...🧐 #NephJC

I love how #NephJC is representing the two arms of the trial with the fish for fish oil and corn for placebo (corn oil) Clever use of emoji! #NephJC

EPA and DHA has an effect on arrhythmias and SCD, especially formation of reentry arrhythmias. e.g. EPA and DHA modulates sodium, calcium and potassium ion channels affecting the cardiac action potential. #NephJC

The authors are working with manufacturers to produce the study formulation just for hemodialysis patients #NephJC

Time to grill Charmaine Lok about fish oil for the next Freely Filtered with @nephcrit.bsky.social and @hswapnil.medsky.social

Me too. Unfortunately, nephrology was stagnant for too long, community docs stopped paying attention. Now if you’re not paying attention you get left behind. #NephJC tries to focus on new, relevant & patient centered/practice changing studies. Plus so many ways to learn: blog, podcast, chat.

I've learned more nephrology from this JC than I ever thought I would. It's been practice altering for me and I'm forever grateful for it. Glad to see it's going to continue forward in capable hands!

This ecosystem is really the way forward for much of CME and residency education. It has the right structure of not being too reliant on anyone individual, while offering reasonable diverse perspectives.

Saturday night was the NKF of Michigan Kidney Ball. We had...some fun! How it started. How it ended

Things you see in dialysis rounds Knock off iPod Nano, "I've got 3,500 songs on that thing"

a fancy nephrology guideline trying to describe how to titrate a norepi gtt is sending me 🤣 adjust q4hr?? the whole point of a NE gtt in HRS-AKI is immediate BP control tell the ICU RN the target MAP and they will achieve it immediately... that's why NE gtts are great (and peripheral IV is fine)

Well I guess we don't need IgA after all! #NephJC

Sorry I'm late. Here now to talk atacicept, which I can even pronounce (now) #NephJC
