We need more neph content on #mastodon, everyone at @SevenOaksCDIC (@NavTangri @BohmClara @paulkomenda and sorry @CRigsMb I know you just got forced onto twitter) let's go
@DrWeintraub as an example see this from PI during the #NephJC discussion from https://twitter.com/willkidney/status/1592914627343499265?s=46&t=4FKUp3ADkY24lMM5oCp7VQ
Another reminder that you can help colleagues find you by adding your information to the #MedMastodon Yellow Pages. Totally optional but a nice way to help build community if you feel comfortable sharing.

Statpearls entry about #flozins Sodium Glucose contransporter 2 inhibitors.
Is it in need of updating after #EMPAKIDNEY ?
@hswapnil @mike_johansen This is cool! We are working on medication specific guidelines to harmonize prescriptions of #Flozins, #GLP1ra, #nsMRA etc across #primarycare, #cardiology, #endocrinology and #nephrology, which has been a fun project. I think at our institution, nephrology prescribed most aggressively, but that is probably the effect of having Amy Mottl in our division.
@EvanZeitler @mike_johansen we made this in Ontario https://www.ontariorenalnetwork.ca/en/kidney-care-resources/clinical-tools/primary-care-tools/kidneywise/toolkit
(We = Scott Brimble, #Nephrologist Allan Grill #familymedicine & team)
- need to add #Flozins etc
Is #TaraMoriarity of the #UniversityOfToronto #MoriarityLab on here?
She does the #CanadianCovidIndex, which is very useful.
In 1938, kindergarten teacher Helen Hulick wore slacks to court to testify as a witness in Los Angeles, CA. Judge Arthur Guerin was appalled & rescheduled the case, instructing her to “return in a dress.”
The next day, Hulick showed up in slacks again, declaring, “I will stand on my rights…I like slacks. They’re comfortable.”
She was sent to jail. https://web.archive.org/web/20210315143406/https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-11-15/from-the-archives-wear-slacks-to-court-and-go-to-jail

I’ve worked in and for hundreds of cities all over the world. The cities that are doing amazing and innovative things aren’t cities with ideal weather, or topography, or size, or demographics, or wealth, or regulatory systems/powers, or even politics.
They’re the cities that have stopped making excuses.
microscopic #hematuria, which is persistent, may be at increased risk of #CKD - hard to see all in secondary care though long term so clarify plan in letters to primary care physicians ….
🚨 A common misconception is that we do not need to focus on #LongCovid because most people get well over time. Turns out that this is not true. A new meta-analysis shows that symptoms on average decrease by 50% during the first month but then stabilize. https://www.valueinhealthjournal.com/article/S1098-3015(22)04743-X/fulltext

It's basic physics... saying masks don't work (they literally filter aerosols containing the virus!), is like saying gravity is a myth.

"Here are the key points:
You can catch Covid multiple times.
Reinfections are common, not rare.
Breakthrough infections are common.
Covid can kill you months after you recover.
It can cause brain damage.
It can cause blood clots and heart attacks.
It doesn’t spare children.
Vaccines help, but only some.
Masks work."
