@BarackObama Wish more world leaders could have the decency, intelligence and morality of both of these men..

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Coming up at PSANZ in Perth in March at a breakfast session - how you can help baby kidneys last a lifetime! If you are going to PSANZ please come along

THE POWER OF THE SQUINT

@drjosflynn Get well soon

So, hospitalized for a nasty cellulitis. On Vancomycin. Creatinine higher today. RN brings in next dose. I ask: Vanco level first, please Result: 2x desired trough Plan: hold Vanco. Yep. The patient knows best.

@marquelawyers Scomo obviously didn’t ask “what would Jenny think”?

Bring on the rapture now please

Thank you and the other speakers for a wonderful symposium - another great NKC event

@urmed02 @Dr_KS_Gautham Perhaps encourage a few parents of babies that die from NEC who didn’t get probiotics to start legal action stating they didn’t get provided with the option of probiotics to prevent it

@Dr_KS_Gautham I don’t know…we’ve weathered other “overreach” before as a field (i.e. Support trial and risk of death). We need to be advocating and educating. Probiotics are used extensively around the world (100% of NZ NICUs) and we are the experts.

The use of probiotics in neonates in the US is now IMO a lost cause. The first nail in the coffin was the 2021 AAP COFN statement. The recent FDA alert sealed the fate of probiotics. IMO we should focus now on reducing intestinal dysbiosis in neonates in other ways: #neotwitter

@CMGlastonbury Come back home to Australia and you can see an optometrist in a week or two 😃

I am a radiologist. I cannot get an appointment at my own institution to see an ophthalmologist or optometrist until mid January 2024. Just loving this US healthcare system.

Amp/gent or pen/gent covers nearly all severe bacterial infections. Widespread use of cephalosporins may increase resistance & does not cover Listeria. Developing countries have significant issue with A/b resistance

@gargparvesh2011 @DDD_Askenazi @AAPneonatal @neo_twiter @nicupodcast @ASPNeph @asouth_neph Yes, an important issue for sure. I have always wondered why there can't be an alternative to gentamicin. What say you @TripleBadger10 @Aussiekidney @atomic_kidney @mcstarr1 @AbitbolCarolyn @NeonatalKidney

Gentamicin being used >50 years as a first line antibiotics in newborns. its clearly toxic to developing kidney. we do monitors levels ,is that enough ! @DDD_Askenazi @drjosflynn @AAPneonatal @AAPneonatal @neo_twiter @nicupodcast @ASPNeph @asouth_neph pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36626229/

There is a paucity of literature on the normative levels of plasma renin concentration (PRC) & serum aldosterone (SA) in premature neonates. Read this Original Article on PRC & SA levels in preterm neonates in the first 2 weeks after birth. #OpenAccess link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@AdrienneOz @CarolineHomer @mypsanz @PSANZ_ECR @IMPACT_PSANZ Congratulations Maria!

@CarolineHomer @mypsanz @PSANZ_ECR @IMPACT_PSANZ Amazing! Well deserved Maria 👏🏻👏🏻

Huge congratulations to Maria Makrides. So many years of excellent science and advocacy for women and children - global impact. Congratulations from the PSANZ community @mypsanz @PSANZ_ECR @IMPACT_PSANZ

@Mon4Kooyong Not mandatory for 16&17 year olds, but if they are knowledgeable and want to vote, it’s their future as well as ours

I've been meeting with colleagues across the parliament to discuss allowing 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote, to have their say in the decisions made about their future. What do you think about lowering the voting age? theguardian.com/world/2022/nov…

Message to the new prime minister (whoever this might be) | Archives of Disease in Childhood. As always so eloquent ⁦@NeenaModi1⁩ Would be totally appropriate for Australia’s PM as well, as our numbers probably sadly not much different adc.bmj.com/content/early/…

The amazing David Askenazi talking now on neonatal dialysis. Join on YouTube - neonatal kidney collaborative

@DDD_Askenazi Can’t wait!

Will be epic

@MalekaniMD @DGlaucomflecken No white coats in Australia for any doctor/medical student for 25 years - it’s wonderful! No infection risk to patients and reduced white coat syndrome. Occasional confusion but patients mostly know who you are.. saves hospitals $$$. Come down under for a visit @DGlaucomflecken

Vale Dame ONJ 😢 thank you for all the music memories and all you have done for cancer research😢😢

@MCWPediatrics @atomic_kidney @MedicalCollege Congratulations - they are so lucky to have you

We are excited to share that Jennifer Jetton, MD (@atomic_kidney), is joining the @MedicalCollege Department of Pediatrics on Sept. 1, 2022, as Professor and Section Chief for Nephrology. Welcome to #milwaukee and to our excellent Nephrology team, Dr. Jetton!
