Frailty in Kidney Disease: A Comprehensive Review to Advance Its Clinical and Research Applications buff.ly/4cDuQXT (FREE) @devimol @DocForGrandma @Rasheeda_HallMD @VUMCKidney @DukeKidney

@Rasheeda_HallMD Congrats!!! Well deserved!

I am here to show that God is faithful as I work to transform the standard of care for vulnerable older adults with kidney disease, raising awareness of the humanity of older adults, especially those who are marginalized. This R01 is proof of this mission.

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

@JessicaEngMD @OnLokInc Yes it is! Thanks for sending!

@OnLokInc @DocForGrandma maybe helpful for some of your patients?

People age 60+ are more likely to develop kidney disease. In honor of National Kidney Month, 不老80 (Forever Young) recently discussed this very important topic w/ tips on how to handle chronic kidney disease. #health #seniors youtu.be/q2alJuLFl40

@MariyaSweetwyne We also have a copy of WordPerfect in our office for your vintage apple computer if u need it😂

@UnhealthyAlcDrg @The_BMC @BMCAddictionMed Today I doubled checked something in uptodate about alcohol withdrawal. It was authored by the late Dr. Rich Saitz. Rich, thank you for teaching me about what it means to be a doctor. We miss you. ow.ly/gILI50HEJC8

@QOL4olderadults Yes! One of the perks of being a research in older adults! I wish it was an outcome that nih would accept!

So this just happened…while out doing community service this morning, one of my research participants recognized me and greeted me with a big hug. 😊❤️

Tears in my eye on home visits today listening to caregivers say they got the vaccine. Because in addition to being primary caretakers for a family member they also work in nursing homes and hospitals. These families are my family @The_BMC @AAHCMedicine @BUgeriatrics

This is for all the nursing home residents we have lost. I promise to keep advocating for change. #ThisIsOurShot #covid19vax #paltc #Stanford #AGS

Seventy-five years together makes for the perfect pair! Charles and Dorothy celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary together at Brookdale Greeneville. #HappyAnniversary

@gretchemaben Thank you for being so honest and eloquent. As a nursing home doc, I went through so many similar feelings. Hugs.

I was asked to present at the Schwartz Grand Rounds today and I’d like to share a few thoughts here that I shared during my talk. Most of you probably know that this Spring I spent 5 weeks volunteering in a NYC ICU treating COVID patients. 1/

We @BMCSurgery ❤️ our @BUgeriatrics colleagues! Thanks for helping us with some of more wonderful and vulnerable patients! @SESanchezMD @BostonTrauma @BUMedicine

Using VA data we found a 25% reduction in all-cause mortality and 20% reduction in CV-mortality in new statin users >75 years. Same in those >90 and with dementia. Age should not be a reason to withhold statins! jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… @JAMA_current @VAResearch @BrighamAging

Creativity in time of Covid. Love it!

Sydmar Lodge Care Home residents and carers have been recreating classic album covers. The home has now been in lockdown for 4 months.

With my fantastic colleagues of the New England Geriatrics Network, we wrote about the horrors of COVID In Massachusetts nursing homes #geri #geriatrics #nursinghome #LongTermCare

Good article. Here's the question: If enough of us say this message enough of the time, will we get through? healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hbl…

In honor of #LabWeek 🔬we'd like to give a special shoutout to our #Microbiology Lab 🧪— this team is leading the charge in ordering, assembling, and distributing kits for #COVID19 testing for the whole hospital! Thank you to all our medical laboratory staff for your hard work!
