yes!, he seems like a lovely person!, 😃🙏💛
Is Semaglutide cost effective?
jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... in JAMA Cardiology
Good: I like this push to make them cheaper
Bad: all the assumptions in this model. SELECT is not the only RCT & VC outcomes are all that matter!
ooh, I know!, agreed, saw this clip the other day…. the ignorance & stupidity of that ‘kid’ is horrifying… & even more so that he has been supported by an adult (Elmo) who validates his ignorance, 😳🙄
yes!, 😃🐧🐧
The documentary movie March of the Penguins narrated by Morgan Freeman is one of the most enlightening, beautiful films ever, 😃🙏💛
Obviously, we need more penguin content to keep us all sane 🐧
soo lovely!, 🙏💛
Increased global awareness of Heard Island & its sweet penguin population is the only great thing to result from the disastrous tr*mp et al idiocy, 😃🐧
lol, totally!, soo thankful we cancelled our subscription last year… saw the writing (no pun intended) on the wall, 😃🙏
wow!, soo glad I’m not on TikTok, 😃🙏

They should do a combined covid/flu/rsv/paternity/pregnancy strip.
Closest vote: 🐶 versus 🐈🤷🏽♂️
Cleanest/unanimous vote: POCUS
Our choices where #BlueRibbonFail is most likely: C3G (Dx over Rx) or Trolls (BKV over CMV)
#NephMadness
B cell therapies in IgAN advance: povetacicept from Vertex
www.medscape.com/s/viewarticl...
#NephMadness timing was perfect for this
Atacicept has competition now (and there’s the Chinese Telitacicept)
The first #NephMadness commentary lands - and it suggests POCUS in AKI from Dr POCUS himself
ajkdblog.org/2026/03/10/n...
Which makes me think the Ottawa choice of POCUS in ESRD is right 🤔 though Anna Burgner plays 4D chess 😳
ooh, ok, neat!, thanks!, glad to know!, 🤓🙏
Omega-3 may increase bleeding risk
Probably safe when no procedure is planned, but less reassuring in high⚠️ biopsy patients, issue still under study.
If injecting therapies directly into the renal cortex, I would likely avoid omega-3 to reduce any issue #nephjc

lol, new meme for you & for #NephMadness 2026, 🤓😃😂
I was guessing that maybe it was because it’s not the same patient population as the PISCES study, 🤔 thanks!, am interested to know more though too, 🤓😃
Thank you #NephJC 2025-26 interns.

As much as I love kidney biopsies, still believe we can maximize nephroprotective 💊. So many Q for the phase 3 RCT #nephjc
T3q
Great discussion! #NephJC
Do you think we are entering the era of remission, and dare I say it, cures for chronic kidney disease.
Slowing progression is great, but regenerative treatments are the future! #NephJC
plus, voting rights come with signing up for it too, 🤓😃🙏💛
