Kidney Allografts-Play With Fire, Get Burned

This week, we will discuss the prognostic role of microvascular inflammation in kidney transplantation. Can the capillaries whisper their damage in lesions before antibodies speak? Maybe this study compels us to treat the injury we see, not just the disease we can name…

Next NephJC, The Cost of AKI

Hot on the heals of our chat with #RheumJC we will be teaming up with the editors of the Journal of Hospital Medicine to discuss Cost of Acute Kidney Injury in Hospitalized Patients. Open access to the article is available here. You will also be able to get CME for participating in this chat. Information on that here.

Two items of note:

  1. We will be doing this February 6th, which is a Monday
  2. We will be using the hashtag #JHMChat

We are still discussing if we will have a EU/GB chat for this article. If you would participate in an EU discussion of this article tweet us.

Expect a full background post on this article once we get a chance to read it ;-)

PRECISION Trial: The Visual Abstract

Here is our second attempt to putting together a visual abstract. Went horizontal instead of vertical this time. Still feeling out this new medium.

I think GIFCreator is the best online GIF creator. Tried a few of them. This was the best and gave me the most control.

When looking for the NEJM logo in google image search I came across this page. Breaks my heart. We miss you Alex.

The #VisualAbstract: Smart Pill Bottle Study

Last month Andrew Ibrahim got the academic world tweeting when he launched his primer on making visual abstracts.

Take a look at the primer here (alt). We tried our hand at a visual abstract for next week's #NephJC

I then tried making an animated gif and realize that this Visual Abstract is too complex. Will be better net time.
