Der Faschist und #israel|ische Polizeiminister Ben-Gvir prahlt damit, Dutzende Zivilisten der @gbsumudflotilla zu entführen und zu misshandeln, und die Bundesregierung blockiert EU-Sanktionen gegen ihren rechtsradikalen Wertepartner™.

@BBassem7 I always find it amusing when an oldtime Assad-dictatorship supporter shows up to claim that Syria isn’t free nor democratic under the new regime (no love for it either BTW). Your credibility on this matter is nothing short of laughable. Actually, it’s outright ridiculous.

Living longer/better doesn’t require a complicated routine. -don’t smoke - don’t drink more than 5/week - move - move more - keep moving - push and pull heavy things - sleep - have friends - find something that motivates you to get out of bed in the morning. - eat food that you prepare. Ignore most of the nutritional noise online. - maintain a normal blood pressure - maintain a normal ApoB - maintain a normal A1c - don’t like cold plunges.. good, avoid them. Don’t buy the nonsense. - if you don’t start w the above, then the supplements you take are irrelevant. - are you optimizing the above? No? Then rapa isn’t going to do much either. - tracking your sleep? Maybe that’s making your sleep worse. - feel better when you see a high “recovery” score? Feel worse if you don’t? Yep… ignore these black box algorithm scores. They’re nonsense. Simple strategies work. Longevity Simplified ;-) howardluksmd.com/book/

Very smart! Although it could not make up its mind about plasmapheresis in AAV with renal involvement 😂 #NephTwitter

manipulating volume status affects outcomes less than we might have expected as long as you’re in the right ballpark, a little less volume & more pressor, or more volume & less pressor - may not matter fluid never was, nor ever will be, the treatment for sepsis😛 #zentensivist

@ArgaizR I have a current case that has similar characteristics where the cardiologist is, saying the pericard effusion is chronic because the patient is hemodyn. Stable... But she doesn't tolerate UF to her dry weight. Thank you. Lovely introduction as always.

@NotfallManni Statt Ultraschallgel benutze ich einfach Octenisept direkt von der Station wo ich dann gerade bin. Spart mir echt viel Platz und funktioniert prima.

@katiewiskar Thanks for sharing! I want to comment on the pulsatility of the portal vein. It's -as far as I know-never pulsatile in cirrhosis if there is no RVstrain. Cirrhosis causes a constant reduction in flow through the cardiac output and eventually reversal of flow but no pulsatility.
