I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

In this analysis, ambulatory hemodynamic monitoring using seated mPAP, loop diuretic up-titration lowered mPAP within days, while down-titration raised it. ARNI and MRA changes showed variable effects. Real-time hemodynamics may help guide HF med titration!

Thanks for your interviews on Youtube. Very enlightening.

Everytime some asshole starts taking about how "EU regulation stifles innovation", this is the kind of stuff they are hoping to enable.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

CKD and AKI, driven by diabetes, hypertension, and more, are shaped by societal and environmental changes. PMID:41578009, Nat Rev Nephrol 2026, @NatRevNeph https://doi.org/10.1038/s41581-026-01052-6 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪
Effects of social determinants of health on the landscape of kidney disease | Nature Reviews Nephrology
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are highly prevalent and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although diabetes and hypertension are important drivers of CKD, it can result from diverse aetiologies, including autoimmune conditions, infections, genetic factors and environmental exposures. Similarly, AKI can result from diverse aetiologies. Dynamic changes within human societies and the natural environment are shaping the landscape of AKI and CKD. Urbanization, climate change, pollution and lifestyle changes are increasingly recognized for their effects on kidney health. These macro-level social determinants of health (SDH) do not affect all regions uniformly or simultaneously; rather, variations in their intensity and timing drive changes in the etiologies and epidemiology of kidney disease. Rapidly urbanizing regions in low- and middle-income countries face more challenging and complex issues from these SDHs, which are further exacerbated by inad

Australia Day, it was of course a BBQ, I focused on the salad. The salad I decided on was a nice watermelon & feta, with sliced red onion in lime, black olives, spring onion, parsley & mint with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. In a 38 degree Melbourne day.
