There are no penguins in Greenland. All Penguins live in the southern hemisphere except one species from the Galapagos Islands.

Perhaps you shouldn’t have dismantled the Department of Education so quickly.

Insurance companies are so f^%&*ing evil, man. Healthcare is no place for capitalism.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Investors in UnitedHealth are suing the company — for providing too much care.

They're upset that UnitedHealth got less aggressive in denying care after their CEO was murdered.

And that as a result they're making less money from the health insurance giant. https://t.co/uqXs24ELl2

The Dumb and Dumber of the new Oligarchy. Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne 2.0. Destroying the government while manipulating the POTUS to shoot a free commercial for you. Pathetic!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Trump just spoke to the media about buying a Tesla and said he hopes it boosts Tesla sales.

In response Musk claimed Tesla will double US production. This is unlikely given declining demand for his cars.

This is just two corrupt oligarchs scratching each other's backs.

Former Boston College lacrosse player Welles Crowther sacrificed himself to save as many as 18 people on 9/11. His story needs to be told every single year. He was a real-life superhero.

Currently in #JACCHF: Study found that increasing #LVAD speed led to larger RV EDV & SV, reduced RV ESP & EDP due to lower afterload & enhanced RV diastolic compliance. No significant changes in RV systolic function. https://t.co/JEKQEbqXI0

[Novi Yanti Sari @slumberbell]

How do interventricular interactions impact ventricular function in #LVAD patients❓

Using #PVloops analysis, ⬆️ #LVAD speed cause:

- ⬆️ #RVEDV & #SV, ⬇️ #RVESP & #RVEDP
- ⬆️ RV diastolic compliance
- ⬇️ afterload
- No changes in RV systolic function

#TipsForNewDocs

Don't shy away from giving patients bad news- false hope is worse. Offer honest assessment of prognosis + options -> together make a plan. End with a promise: you will still be their doc even if you can't fix their disease.

Effects of #GDMT across Kidney Function Spectrum

✅ #BB: consistent benefit to eGFR 30
✅ #ARNI: consistent benefit to eGFR 30
✅ #SGLT2i: consistent benefit to eGFR 20
❌ #SteroidalMRA: ↓ benefit & worse safety at lower eGFR

New strategies to block MR axis in HF & CKD needed!
