@hswapnil @jmteakell how about #KidneyVerse?

An outstanding essay by @jessicawildfire entitled, “You May Be Early, but You're Not Wrong: A #Covid Reading List.” It seems unbelievable to see the words in print like this, but they’re true:

“There’s no permanent immunity from this virus. Each time we catch it, this #virus attacks our hearts and minds. It weakens us. It tries to kill us. It imprints on us, so a future variant has a better shot next time.”

“That next time could be a few months later.”

@hswapnil @mike_johansen look the BP targets are mostly BS. I go as low as symptoms allow.
The ARB is based on a couple of papers discussing anti ATR Abs. Acei and ARBs mostly deliver the same CV & renal fx. If there is a chance the ARB reduce formation of such antibodies, use ARBs.

@mike_johansen @ChristosArgyrop the transplant section of those guidelines were the oddest of the bunch
Since they otherwise said 120 for everyone these slipped through without much brouhaha
I did pick these as a second round http://www.nephjc.com/freelyfiltered/2021/kdigo-htn-draft on the podcast

@mike_johansen @ChristosArgyrop and do you agree with the ARB before ACEi choice?
And the banal CCB decision?

@mike_johansen @ChristosArgyrop
What target do you use?
Do you agree with the KDIGO 130/80 one Christos?

If you want, you can move your Mastodon account from one instance (server) to another.

Moving lets you take your followers, follows and some settings with you.

1. Create a new account on the instance you want to move to, but DO NOT delete the old account.

2. Log into your NEW account, go to Edit Profile > Moving From A Different Account, click on "create an account alias" and follow the instructions.

3. Log into your OLD account, go to Edit Profile > Move To A Different Account, click on "configure it here" and follow the instructions.

4. On your OLD account, go to Preferences > Import And Export > Data Export and download the settings and follows lists.

5. On your NEW account, go to Preferences > Import And Export > Import and upload the lists you just downloaded in the previous step.

After doing all these, your old account will redirect to the new one, and your followers will transfer automatically (with a short delay).

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!

The notice of motion to #BringBackMasks was sent to @OCDSB@twitter.com trustees today. Meeting to discuss early next week and date to implement TBD. Heartbreaking that while we debate children are at risk. Also sad that it is left up to us to act. This is about health and safety. #WeNotMe

Good grief. To those who say masks “caused” the current crisis, peddling silly ideas about “immunity debt,” epidemiology colleagues remind us that Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Sweden have RSV surges, too, after no masking. Children are waiting for us to act. #BringBackMasks #WeNotMe

It’s becoming clear to me how much I depended on Twitter to make me aware of changes in the medical literature, and how hopelessly disrupted that is

I really don’t want to go back to eToC

For example, I missed Semler / Vanderbilt’s oxygen target trial

I'm writing a short article on getting started with Mastodon for Computers in Libraries and have found @nikodemus guide invaluable. You might too. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D9gfeKg_-hlsU66R-dLEvUeyMsqEfyIx2pnfUeX0t_E/edit?usp=sharing

The #NephJC chat tonight on #EMPAKIDNEY will still occur on the bird site as most of #Nephrology peeps are still over there

We are hosting a Spaces conversation at 10 pm Eastern if someone’s interested in talking #TwitterMigration

Do your urban streets have enough street trees? Only if your design choices prioritize them! Touring #Vancouver projects with a client who’s the chief planner for another city, he marvelled at the amount of trees & landscaping everywhere in our downtown — this Yaletown street has 4 rows of #trees on just one side of the street! Yard trees, double row of sidewalk street trees, then bike-lane buffer trees. Lot of #density there, so don’t tell me you have to choose between density OR green! #cities

Saying "we can't mask anymore, because at some point we have to get back to normal" is racist. Asian countries have been masking for years. What is normal is taking collective action in order to protect others, especially those most vulnerable. #BringBackMasks
