The sodium burden in ICU patients is off the charts! In an effort to bring about change, we’ve designed the Sweet-Water Trial — so excited that it’s up and running! #Nephrology #IntensiveCare #MedSky

Could we have more #ccr25 content on Bluesky please?

While I still have access to the other place, it’s not much fun seeing random X crap in between thoughtful takes about the utility of NFL

…this is such a cool paper by my favourite immunologists from DRFZ and Charité Berlin!

I am sure the NIH is/was the most important funder worldwide; nevertheless, these numbers seem odd - the European Union spent more than 388 million in 2022 on biomedical research!

Looking for the latest preprints in the #LifeSciences ?

Europe PMC indexes content from 24 #preprint servers, including bioRxiv, Research Square, medRxiv and more!!

🔎 Start exploring over 907,000 preprints in one database: europepmc.org/search?query=SRC%3A%2a%20AND%20%28SRC%3APPR%29&page=1

Stacked area chart showing the cumulative number of preprints indexed by Europe PMC from 2020 to 2025. The x-axis represents the years, while the y-axis represents the cumulative number of preprints, reaching over 900,000 by 2025. Different colours represent various preprint servers, including Research Square (largest share), bioRxiv, Preprints.org, medRxiv, PsyArXiv, Authorea Preprints, SSRN, and Others. The chart highlights the steady growth of preprint publications over time.

In addition to reporting a biomarker, our protocol provides a foundation for deeper analysis of urinary TECs. Together with Leonie Wagner, @ninagoerlich.bsky.social, @janklocke.bsky.social, and many others!

Happy to announce that this is out! A flow cytometry-based quantification of urinary kidney tubular epithelial cells (TECs) as a biomarker for kidney damage in AKI and ANCA vasculitis.

www.kireports.org/article/S246...

Flow-cytometric quantification of urine kidney epithelial cells specifically reflects tubular damage in acute kidney diseases

Despite tubular injury being one of the main mechanisms driving acute kidney injury (AKI), clinicians still have a limited diagnostic repertoire to precisely monitor damage to tubular epithelial cells...

Same thoughts here, but I am torn. I assume (hope) that most nephrology colleagues are not fans of the current U.S. administration. However, by boycotting KW, would we be weakening those whom we ought to support? And which congresses could we attend instead? Certainly not ERA-EDTA in Austria...

CDC Data Are Disappearing

The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

I increasingly doubt the whole concept of acute tubular necrosis, I am not sure cell death is the main pathomechanism in AKI and I am not aware of a gold standard for ATN. That said, given the tools we have, I agree to your answer
