Metabolic acidosis is a chronic condition that
many people in the Western world have but
do not realize it... It occurs when there is
retention of acid in the body, which leads to
a depletion in the bicarbonate stores of the
body. Ways to test for low-grade metabolic acidosis👇
what are the Four main mechanisms that compensate for chronic latent metabolic acidosis?
what is the potential renal acid load (PRAL) of #foods
(mEq of acid/3.5 oz.)... #vegetarian stuff is good!!
what are the Strategies for suppressing the dietary acid load?
what are the harms of low-grade metabolic acidosis? How a more alkaline diet benefits patients with chronic kidney disease !
what are the harms of low-grade metabolic acidosis?.. continued...
A greater emphasis on low-grade metabolic acidosis should be provided during medical school so that clinicians are more aware of this condition and how to treat it... #edutwitter

This is such a fantastic Summary of semiological signs by symptomatogenic zone on mesial and lateral structures. DLPFC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; SMA, supplementary motor area.
#SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (NP) was detected in the colon, appendix, ileum, haemorrhoid, liver, gall- bladder and lymph nodes from 5 pts who recovered from COVID-19, ranging from 9 to 180 days after testing -ve for SARS-CoV-2. #MedTwitter
Although resp transmission is responsible for most COVID-19 inf, there is ⬆️ evidence of COVID-19 causing GI & hepatic manifestations, as studies reported the presence positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA in anal swabs & stool samples, despite NP or sputum specimens testing -ve for the virus
Weeks after #SARS-CoV-2 inf or exposure, some children develop a severe, life-threatening illness called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (#MIS-C). GI symptoms are common in MIS-C pts & severe hyperinflammatory response ensues with potential for ❤️ complications.
👉🏽As proof of concept, they treated a #MIS-C patient with #larazotide, a #zonulin antagonist, & monitored impact on antigenemia and clinical response.
👉🏽in MIS-C, prolonged + of SARS-CoV-2 in t GI tract ➡️ to release of zonulin, a biomarker of intestinal permeability,
This gentle man is Sir William Osler.. He has frequently been described as the “Father of Modern Medicine” and one of the "greatest diagnosticians ever to wield a stethoscope". What did he hv to say about #India ? @sanjeevsanyal@vipintukur@naveenthacker@EricTopol@mvankerkhove
In one of his essays; “Of India, of "Vishnu-land," what can one say in a few minutes? To the Hindoos we owe a debt which we can at any rate acknowledge; and even in medicine, many of our traditions and practices may be traced to them”. @drharshvardhan@PMOIndia@BharadwajSpeaks
