Good paper! Please also see our editorial in @kidneyint.bsky.social alerting to a possible new syndrome with features distinct but also overlapping with renal tubular acidosis. Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.ki...

I wish the USA had respected Jimmy Carter more than they had. He was an amazing man. He was probably the most honest president we have ever had.

Important topic. Back in 2008 there were several cases of acute renal failure from milk adulteration with melamine in China. Actually there were deaths and countless hospitalizations. We discussed this in a paper

"Isn't BP detected upon the _re-expansion_ of the artery, which could have different dynamics in a stiff artery compared with compression of the artery?"

History of Medicine . I remember the first patient at the U of I in Chicago early 80s
On this day in 1981, a landmark paper in NEJM described four patients with evidence of immunodeficiency associated with PJP pneumonia, disseminated CMV, and Kaposi sarcoma. The disease would come to be known as HIV/AIDS. Revisit the paper: nej.md/41iekKD
