I wrote this in a moment I never would have chosen. A sudden pause that made me see my life clearly.

The meaning of our work is profound. This experience simply helped me see more clearly what matters most.

Especial médicos🩺⚕️🏥👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️.
Os dejo esta carta en JAMA. Se la pondré a mis alumnos en la próxima clase:
He elegido estas frases :
👇🏻⏰
«La medicina puede tener un significado extraordinario. Pero no puede sustituir el estar presente en tu propia vida. El mundo puede necesitarnos como médicos. Pero las personas que nos aman nos necesitan como nosotros mismos. Y ese es el rol que nadie más puede llenar.»

«La residencia refuerza la lección de que las instituciones están diseñadas para perdurar más allá de los individuos. En cambio, las familias no.»

«Creo en formar a la próxima generación. Creo en el significado de este trabajo. Lo que ha cambiado es mi disposición a absorber el desgaste sin cuestionarlo.»

«Ya no estoy dispuesta a seguir posponiendo la vida. La medicina exige mucho. Y nosotros damos profundamente. Pero no puede tomarlo todo.»

«El significado de mi trabajo es profundo. El significado de mi presencia en casa es irremplazable.»

@drbennisahmed First "renalism" and now "urinary tract-ism?" Am I right, @kidney_boy?

Last month I explained why aluminum adjuvants are safe: tiny doses, nearly a century of use, cleared by the kidneys like dietary aluminum.

Now we have a landmark study of 1.22 million Danish children (births 1997-2018) followed to age 5, with a check to age 8. Result: no increased risk for autism, asthma, autoimmune disease, or any of the 50 childhood conditions examined.

Largest and most rigorous human study on this question.🧵

Exciting news! Fram2 is thrilled to announce Fram2Ham, a pioneering ham radio competition 🚀📻
While orbiting Earth, we'll transmit images of various locations—but with a twist: they’ll be cut and mixed-up in puzzle pieces. The challenge? Assemble the pieces, identify the location, and uncover its polar history significance. Learn more and join the adventure at https://t.co/ZmfYcPwwZk.

In kind collaboration with Amateur Radio on the ISS @ARISS_Intl

Looking forward to having you onboard!

Every physician caring for patients with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) should read this recent excellent review.

https://t.co/DsAghNYAeI

There are two important points that I believe are not emphasized enough in this paper:

1. We have shifted away from classifying patients as AIDP, AMSAN, or AMAM. This classification depended solely on nerve conduction studies, which are not widely available in hospital settings. Additionally, the biology of GBS is much more complex than previously understood, so the dichotomy axonal or demyelinating does not work well here. Moving forward, we should refer to all these conditions as GBS and classify the variants as shown in the figure and table below.

In this editorial, the authors argue that a study by Winkelman et al. puts into question the traditional dietary recommendation to avoid whole grains in CKD and underscores the importance of diet quality in CKD, by pointing out the potential negative effects of plant-source UPFs on cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. https://t.co/QEFoXrP0K1
