Excited to share years of hard work. Here we demonstrate that interferon-α directly contributes to breaching multiple immune tolerance mechanisms through direct actions on B cells, likely contributing to the early immunopathogenesis of lupus. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Researchers at UHN's @SchroederInst have shed light on how systemic lupus erythematosus – the most common form of lupus - develops. The research team used experimental models to explore 2 key factors that are associated with systemic lupus. Read more → bit.ly/3rHh1W5

@AKatyukha @UHN @umtincka @chaim_bell Well deserved, congratulations Andriy!

Really lovely surprise after a fun year at @UHN with the kindest and most incredible physicians, nurses and allied health! Thanks so much for this recognition @umtincka @chaim_bell and Wayne Gold, it really means a lot. ☺️

@rishad_J_khan @MayoClinicGIHep @KhushbooSGala @Samir_Grover @jmosko29 @GaryMayEndo @CTeshima @CatharineMWalsh Congrats Rishad!

A team led by Drs. Joan Wither and Dario Ferri (@DarioInScience) has shed light on how the immune system produces damaging antibodies in systemic #lupus, highlighting important pathways for treatments. Read more >> uhnresearch.ca/news/why-immun… dx.doi.org/10.1002/art.42… #lupusresearch

@UofTRheum @SindhuJohnson5 @djerome05 @uoftmedicine @UofT_DoM @WCHospital @UHN @SchroederInst Congratulations @SindhuJohnson5

A hearty congratulations to @UofTRheum faculty @SindhuJohnson5 and @djerome05 who have been recommended by the Dean for Senior promotion as of July 1, 2023. 🎉

Great time working on this project. We demonstrate that immersive virtual reality and cadaveric bones are equally effective in skeletal anatomy education. Excited about the future of medical education!

@AKatyukha @NDesRosiers @MasseyCollege @bob_connelly Congrats @AKatyukha !

Ended a busy day on the ward with a lovely call from @NDesRosiers! Honoured to have been selected as a Junior Fellow at @MasseyCollege and look forward to joining this incredible community. Special thanks to @bob_connelly for all the support. 🙌🏻

@arjunamaharaj @McMasterU @MacDeptMed @machealthsci That's my coresident! Congrats!!

So happy to say that I will be going back to @McMasterU for Internal Medicine Residency! 🩺🥼 Thank you to all who have helped me get here! @MacDeptMed @machealthsci

A dream come true. Feeling incredibly grateful and humbled to have matched to the @MacDeptMed internal medicine program!

I want to share what I think about MDs. I love each and everyone that busted their ass, borrowed too much money, sacrificed more than we can ever quantify, in hopes of helping their patients. Medicine is an imprecise science. The uncertainties far outnumber the absolutes.

Observation: It is increasingly difficult for the general public to understand current infectious disease threats here due to well-organized disinformation campaigns, misinterpreting & over-interpreting of data by some, overconfidence, meaningful debate & general uncertainty.

@IMWendyYe @UofTNephrology Two of my favourite nephrology fellows in one photo!

After 4 blocks, we finally managed to get one photo together 😂 @UofTNephrology

A resident just told me they had missed their family’s Thanksgiving dinner because they were here at the hospital, and then said: “But my family is used to me never being there.” 🙏🏼 to our loved ones for your patience & flexibility and 🙏🏼 to all those working this weekend!

So tired post call that I tried swiping in to my condo building with my hospital badge multiple times before security just let me in 😅

Incredibly humbled to be recognized for my teaching, administration, and contributions to CTU @McMasterIntMed! Thank you @LessMartsMD and @DrLoriWhitehead for the opportunity and mentorship along the way - I am forever grateful for what you've taught me.

"The empirical findings suggest a global post COVID-19 condition prevalence of approximately 0.43 (or 43%)." I'm glad there is increased awareness of the longterm effects of covid--we also need to consider the broader social & health system impacts. academic.oup.com/jid/advance-ar…

It was a pleasure presenting our research on immersive virtual reality (IVR) and MSK anatomy education @Osmerc2 Take Home Message: IVR was comparable to cadaveric models in teaching skeletal anatomy. @DrJRLex @DarioInScience @Toronto_Ortho @BCshoulder @PrecisionOSVR

A teary-eyed patient thanked me profusely for the care that I and the team had provided to her and her family today. It reminded me of the emotions I felt when meeting with my mother's neurosurgeons. Today I was reminded of why I went into medicine. What a privilege.
