👂So, did you hear the one about avacopan and data manipulation? 🧮🧮🧮 @hswapnil.medsky.social has added onto our ADVOCATE summary with a "postscript" review of the controversies. #NephSky #MedSky www.nephjc.com/news/advocate?rq=avacopan

Advocating for Patients with Vasculitis: A Steroid-Sparing Regimen with Avacopan — NephJC
This week, we will discuss the ADVOCATE trial. Avacopan is not just a flash in the pan? We hope so, having won the RheumMadness and offering a steroid free hope.

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.

Yeah the Toronto experience with this is detailed here pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27083285/ in @kidneyint.bsky.social #OpenAccess

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 academic.oup.com/ckj/advance-... @ckj-era.bsky.social

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. 🏆 #DingVsGukesh
