My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

Specific post-transplant complications seen in the early cohort (1998–2005, n = 22) have been reported previously,6 but they included primary graft nonfunction, fungal sepsis, cerebrospinal abscess, wound infection, malignancy, and urine leaks. There was decreased overall allograft and patient survival to 3 years. Similar to these earlier commercial transplant recipients, the 2005 to 2013 recipients (n = 49) who received 50 renal allografts were ignorant of the donor selection process. Of these 50 transplant procedures, 27 were performed in South Asia, 13 in East Asia, 5 in Africa, 4 in West Asia, and 1 in South America. Medical documentation remained often incomplete, and translation was sometimes needed. Notable infectious complications (2005–2013) included hepatitis B seroconversion (n = 2), hepatitis C seroconversion (n = 5) with active hepatitis (n = 3) and fulminant hepatic failure (n = 1), pulmonary tuberculosis (n = 2), and extended spectrum beta-lactamase Escherichia coli urosepsis (n = 1). Surgical complications included 2 abdominal wall hernias and a type A dissecting aortic aneurysm occurring 2 months post-transplant. Only 1 patient in the 2005 to 2013 cohort required hospitalization on arrival, compared with 7 in the earlier cohort.6

Organ Trafficking: How Germans Buy New Kidneys in Kenya
Germans in need of new kidneys are heading to Kenya to buy one. The donors are frequently suffering from bitter poverty. Behind the scheme is an Israeli whom the authorities have been after for years.

Donor-derived membranous nephropathy
We discuss two cases who received kidneys from the same donor with membranous nephropathy identified in the implantation biopsy, and how possibly these organs can be used for transplantation

Just a little more
And we shall see the almond trees in blossom
The marbles shining in the sun
The sea, the curling waves.
Just a little more
Let us rise just a little higher.

I’ve always admired Ding Liren, and that admiration grew even more after his interview as World Champion. I’m so glad he proved his detractors wrong. What an exciting start to World Chess Championship 2024. 🏆
