Very happy to share our interesting results regarding peripheral neuropathy prediction during a talk (with unvoluntary Italian gesture) at the 30th #ecss2025, Rimini, Italy.
If you’re interested to validate the equation: 📩
Hopefully promising collaborations are coming 🌍

[Antoine Chatrenet @AChatrenet]

Potential impact:
🥇 Our data show that ♂️and ♀️ are equally treated in nephrology setting & dialysis is offered without discriminations.
🥈 Further studies are warranted to confirm our results and promote education of practitioners and specialists on nephrology referral

[Antoine Chatrenet @AChatrenet]

🧐 Are women discriminated after refferal to a nephrology clinic?
If we look at the average prevalence: 40% of women, 60% of men.

Our new publication on @CKJsocial sheds light on this question:

See insights below ⤵️

What this study adds:
1⃣ The ♂️/♀️ ratio of CKD patients from the 1st consultation to the start of kidney replacement therapy remains stable.
2⃣ The same is true for the inclusion in a trial.
3⃣ If a sex-selection bias exists, it should be sought before the referral.

🚨 Publication alert (free)
📘 @CKJsocial of @ERAkidney
Imagine suffering from a condition that causes you to lose 💪 strength without affecting your 💪mass.
Your scale still shows the same weight, your muscles seem to be here, however you can clearly feel that you are weaker!

[Antoine Chatrenet @AChatrenet]

Keep in mind that this study has limitations and need further validation.
🌐It remain important to spread this message to nephrology / APA teams to:
🥇 Promote the monitoring of muscle strength
🥈 Encourage early inclusion of APA in CKD management.

Everything I’ve always thought about Ph.D.!
Hard to quantify, but: Applicant curiosity > Applicant knowledge

[Andrew Akbashev @Andrew_Akbashev]

A common misconception:
‘To get a PhD, I need to be really smart.’

Nope. You just have to be genuinely curious.

I often hear students say they're afraid of a PhD because they feel 'not good enough' for it.

My experience is:

- You don’t need extraordinary skills to earn a PhD
- You don’t need to be a ‘walking encyclopedia’
- You don’t need to be a genius

❗ All you need is curiosity.

The curiosity that brings joy in exploring intricate technical details.

- Hard work is a by-product of curiosity.
- Exploration of literature is a by-product of curiosity.
- Your own vision for the field is also a by-product of curiosity!

The problem is that:

- There are advisors who likes ‘active doers', not ‘curious thinkers'
- There are bad & boring projects that misalign with natural curiosity
- There is a lack of mentorship that fails to nurture curiosity

Of course, all students are different:
Some PhD students are fast thinkers, others are fast learners or deep thinkers. Some require re-learning. Others need proper mentorship in their first year.

❗But there is NO fundamental flaws that should prevent 99% of students from getting a PhD.

PhD is just a degree.

You are ready for it if you feel curious.

De nombreuses interventions intéressantes, mais encore très peu sur l'#activitephysique et l'#exercice.
En 10 ou 20 ans, est-ce que les comportements des équipes de soin ont changé ? (Koufaki P. et al., 2015, JSS). Je vous laisse faire votre propre avis.

[Antoine Chatrenet @AChatrenet]

Très content d'illustrer et de résumer nos travaux sur la fonction neuromusculaire chez les patients #MRC dans un poster à la #SFNDT2024
