@dianestorie @brownam130 Thanks for this excellent article! Whether a spinal cord tumor, trauma, or disk herniation, it is important to know that the loss of muscle movement will be on the same side of the injury to spinal cord. But opposite side with pain loss and temperature sensation! So fascinating

Renal complications can occur after liver transplant! Related to surgical complications, immunosuppressive therapy, and infection!

@brownam130 This article is a great resource in helping identify HRS from AKI. The kidneys are most effected by the vasodilation/hypotension that happens. It’s important to note AKI is responsive to fluid but HRS is not. Liver transplant is the ideal treatment #ACPNPChat #EmoryACPNP2022

@NurseBussie The antitoxin botulism immune globulin intravenous (BIGIV) further prevents the toxin from binding, resulting in faster clinical improvement. So awesome!

[NurseBussie @NurseBussie]

Botulism is a rare, potentially lethal, disease that can affect all ages. The infant form is the most common in the United States! This article highlights the importance of early recognition of infant botulism by presenting three interesting case studies. https://t.co/knrQzEuOoj
