Grateful to our co-authors and mentors. @KoraAbhi @AmirKazory @MartaCoboMarcos @croncoIRRIV @CardioRenalSEC
We move forward toward a more precise, ultrasound-driven, patient-centered nephrology. @JonathanNefro @SENefrologia @DraMarili @ERAkidney @escardio @VDelgadoGarcia @nfrgermanstrias @hgermanstrias

Veno-arterial PCO2 gap
Looks simple. But complicated. You need to consider a lot of factors in the interpretation. More importantly, it can be normal or high in sepsis.
Tip: Make sure you study the CO2 dissociation curve before attempting to understand this concept.

A 3-year study of tirzepatide in participants with obesity and prediabetes showed substantial and sustained weight reduction and decreased risk of progression to diabetes with tirzepatide, as compared with placebo. Full SURMOUNT-1 trial results: https://t.co/5TTgJfbKyo

Friendly reminder..

[NephroPOCUS @NephroP]

#POCUS reminder
Stop saying a “collapsible IVC” means the patient (or a subject at a POCUS workshop) is dehydrated. First of all, dehydration ≠ volume depletion, and a <2 cm, collapsible IVC reflects neither of these when interpreted in isolation.

Fantastic mentor presenting a fantastic topic ! POCUS wins again!! @PShaniuk

[ACP Ohio @OhioAcp]

Dr. @PShaniuk presenting the evolution of #POCUS - how it demonstrates higher sensitivity and specificity than physical exam alone and even CXR!

Today we were very lucky to have Dr.Khalid Dousa From CWRU and the VA presenting his original work in M. abscessus
@DousaKhalid Thank you for such a great talk

@morelli_md A consult for one recorded temp 😶

[NephroPOCUS @NephroP]

The 🔑 goal of a #POCUS workshop is to build a strong theoretical base and ensure proper technique, enabling participants to return to their institutions and practice with confidence. Our @nkf course accomplished it! Special thanks to @nilamjsoni and team, @JCannonNKF

#POCUS in #Nephrology is much more than just looking at the IVC or 🫁B-lines.
👇our clarion call for deeper understanding! - in collaboration with Prof @AmirKazory and @OBayoOlaoye

One of the most interesting slides I've seen from RELIEVE-HF #ACC24

Strikingly different results in subgroups by EF! Incredibly divergent responses for differing physiology

[Davide Capodanno @DFCapodanno]

In EMPACT-MI, a randomized trial involving 6522 patients post-acute myocardial infarction, empagliflozin did not significantly reduce the combined outcome of heart failure hospitalization or death compared to placebo over a period of 17.9 months.

Once again, a drug that effectively treats chronic heart failure proves ineffective when administered in the acute phase of myocardial infarction. This echoes the experience observed with sacubitril–valsartan in the PARADISE-MI trial. #ACC24

Ideal read for the non-#POCUS enthusiast who just wants to know the basics. Open access + videos online @JHospMedicine. @Ariadna22 @trevorjensen14 https://t.co/V1d2KHXeRS

@JHospMedicine Also I think folks often think that short-staffing is cheaper... (i.e. running higher patient to clinician ratios) but insufficient staffing affects throughput and costs directly in addition to demoralizing the workforce. #JHMChat
