It is exactly #25years since I entered Government Medical College, #Kottayam, Kerala, as a medical student, on 12th September 1995!
From a timid (& lean) lad all of 17 years, who couldn't speak English well, I believe I have come a long way.
Literally & figuratively! #thread
Sunday Morning 10K Run ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Weather conditions are not great for running ๐ฅต, so went out earlier than usual & stuck to a lower pace. Ended up woth my best 'zone 2' run so far! ๐
In Hyderabad, at a conference (#SRNMCON2026). Decided to checkout a near by park in the morning - Durgam Cheruvu. Ran about 9 km and then walked back.
The park is still a work in progress.
@divyaa24 I am increasingly convinced that 'CKDu' is not 'one' entity. While the phenotype may be somewhat similar (but not identical), we are likely dealing with different aetio-pathogeneses across geographies. #CKDu@Shuchi_Anand@bencaplin2
@divyaa24 We do see hypokalemia, but it is not frequent enough to be considered 'characteristic'. Hyponatremia is described by Dr Vinay Rathore from Chhattisgarh, but we rarely, if ever, encounter it in CKDu.
The newest journal Kidney International Case Reports KICR launched by the international Society of Nephrology has just put out its inaugural group of articles (in press) & an editorial.
Do read them at this link ๐ https://t.co/peMN3opwKK

Delighted to see a timely Editorial from @the_hindu on the HPV vaccine initiative in India. Well done - Indian government & The Hindu editorial team! https://t.co/maqASt4Wgr
I am sure this is the โlived experienceโ of many - aerobic exercise doesnโt help weight loss. Combining it with diet restrictions seems even worse.

BMI has long been used to determine someone's health, but it is deeply flawed. Better measures of body fat exist โ and they are finally catching on, finds Starre Vartan

@DrCherin Yeah, it is almost entirely unpaved path inside the 'wilderness' of Auroville. At some sections we need to be careful because the path is un-even. The half-marathon started at 6:00am & we had to use torch, because it was still dark!
