Polarization in #KidneyWk Educational Community by Avrum Gillespie @AvrumGillespie
The agenda #KidneyWk
Why we tweet. #KidneyWk
Going deep into the "Social" of social media. The Left and Middle box. #KidneyWk
What is a social network. Nice demonstration of an online and offline (dialysis unit, see the pinned tweet on @AvrumGillespie twitter feed for more on that) social network. #KidneyWk
Popular people get more popular. This is called preferential attachment. His example is some clown named @Kidney_Boy #KidneyWk
Homophily, people seek attachments with people of similar beliefs and interests. #KidneyWk

Transitivity (clustering) a friend of my friend is my friend, Constraint are people that are not joint friends (I think, it was a little unclear)
Influence is more powerful than credibility. #KidneyWk
Clustering coefficients measures polarization
Eigenvector how well connected are you to someone who is well-connected
Average path length who many people does it take a message to go. (this was unclear)

#KidneyWk
Using those definitions and looking at #KidneyWk 2019 and 2020, I wonder what was different between those two conferences?
No mention on how they defined tweets on diabetic kidney disease. #KidneyWk
Seahorse vs Hagfish. Not clear if he is joking. #KidneyWk
How reduce polarization. #KidneyWk
Social Media team to defend the network. He never defines attack or defense. I have no idea what this slide means. #KidneyWk
His key data is 2019 vs 2020 #KidneyWk and he never mentioned the pandemic. Wild.

Wow, the Steve Jobs film at Apple.com is really good. Don't miss it.
I know that Steve was an asshole to a lot of people and was greedy when he didn't need to be and did some shameful acts. But for many years he was a singular hero and inspiration.
My career arc is a result of thinking differently. Many nights as I worked on projects I felt kinship with the team who developed the Macintosh. The ability to stay focused on making something insanely great in a world where good enough is usually all that anyone expects.

#AskRenal Patients can get hypotensive after relieving urinary obstruction. Does clamping the foley and slowing bladder decompression protect against the hypotension?
Or in this Case Control trial: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

🧂 Hyponatremia #CaseReport #Tweetorial

(and a gif for the people who want to rename this hyperhydronemia)
Patient came to the hospital with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Patient has alcohol use disorder. Last drink was about a day prior to admission.

After arrival to the ER the patient has a seizure.
Besides the weirdly elevated anion gap, and the hypokalemia, the initial labs just show some AKI. I don't have an ABG but I suspect combined metabolic alkalosis and lactic acidosis.
