Shiv Kabra, MD, MS

So stoked to share that I matched @WashU_Uro for residency! Incredibly grateful to all my mentors, family, and friends who supported me and helped me reach my goals. Back to my home turf!! #UroMatch2023 #UroSoMe #auamatch

@AmericanCancer @dr_coops @jeshoag @VickersBiostats @AmerUrological @ASCO @ASTRO_org @PCF_Science 5/x The 2012 USPSTF recs led to the 1st time in decades an increase in the mortality rate in men with PCa. seer.cancer.gov For men 75yo+ you can see pre-2012 steady decrease in mortality, post-2012 and pre-2018 an increase: @wandering_gu @EdwardSchaeffer

@sweatystartup Hypothetical(assuming you’re healthy): One of these “cancer markers” comes back +. You get additional diagnostic procedures, imaging etc. You/your family are losing sleep, scared you have cancer. Weeks pass. Workup returns normal. Would you want surgery/chemo? My guess is no.

Honest question: What part of medical school teaches doctors to fight against doing full bloodwork panels? I got a full work up. Hormones, cancer markers, etc. 5+ of my friends went and asked PCPs for it. ALL of them fought back. You don’t need it. Unnecessary stress. Why the hell is this a thing?

POCUS’ing your own kidneys is 10/10 hard

Urologists: prepare for the vasectomy boom.

@eddyjoemd Diagnosed this once early on in intern year. One of my proud medicine moments as a surgical resident

Euglycemic DKA is becoming more commonplace in our ICUs. I recall the first time I was called to admit a patient with this. I asked “what is that?!?” This paper addresses the mechanisms, manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. 🎩 tip to the authors. eddyjoemd.com/foamed/

Playing video games could enhance endoscopy skills, but a minimum of 20 hours are required 😁🎮🕹️

Robotic DUAL kidney transplantation. Left kidney had 2 arteries. Operative time 4h30m. @amjtransplant @ASTSChimera @CleClinicUro #Robotics #Transplant #kidneytransplant #kidney #MedTwitter

🧵regarding some of the more novel *non-urologic* uses of Foley catheters. It's been almost 2 years since I originally posted this, so many may not have seen this one (and I'll be doing reruns for a while...I need to spend April getting ready for #ASGBI2024 🧐. (1/ )

@tim_cook I’m not sure ‘wanton destruction of all the good and beautiful things is this world’ was really the vibe you were trying for.

@fgomsan I thought this was just because gram is a mass and cc is a volume? I could be wrong but I think the only substance they would be = for would be water which has a density of 1 g/mL

‘I operated a 250 cc prostate in 30 minutes and the weight of the adenoma was 120 g’… isn’t that a bit silly? The estimation of size by ultrasound and MRI usually is not very accurate… residual volume after HoLEP is probably quite constant at 15-20 g so I would refer to the weight of the adenoma or a more reasonable 120+20 when bragging about my skill online 😝😜

Urology intern Sajya Singh, MD, and colleagues from @hopkinsmedicine and @brady_urology assessed the association of testosterone therapy in women for sexual dysfunction with major adverse cardiac events. Read in @jsexmed: academic.oup.com/jsm/advance-ar…

@quality_nguyen I think he forgot Whole Genome Sequencing

INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE THE PROBLEM.

@MaazIsBrown Honestly that would be a step up from this purgatory

@shivkab But how is the gen surg service going to use you to change wound vacs and pull drains work if you're in the OR?

“operative” gen surg rotations that are in actuality non-operative = absolute 🗑️

We're thrilled to announce our newly matched dermatology residents! Can't wait to see you all in St. Louis next year! #MatchDay2024

@DavidTKrist @StanfordSurgery @OpNotes @maryhawn @DavidASpain @KirchnerVaria @amandakirane @ILLINOISmed @RobertYu_11 @SugunaPappu Congrats David!
