Can treatment for type 2 diabetes & chronic kidney disease reduce greenhouse gas emissions? 🌱 @Fletcher_RA & colleagues found increased use of SGLT2 inhibitors in people with diabetes & CKD reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 20% Read the paper here: https://t.co/6dxVeD970A

CKD arguably the most consequential common comorbidity in heart failure, accounting for >2x rehospitalisations than any other condition UK data from almost 1/4 million people, now open access online in @LancetGH, from @Fletcher_RA and our team:
thelancet.com
Rates of rehospitalisation in patients with heart failure in England have decreased during 2019–22. Further population health improvements could be reached through enhanced implementation of GRMT,...
Whole pop UK linked data on >230,000 ppl with HF from @Fletcher_RA at #ESCCongress - Ppl with CKD remain undertreated for HF despite being at 🔼 risk - CKD contributes 2x to 🏥/☠️ than any other comorbidity - Major opportunities to improve pop health In press, @TheLancetPH

“Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. Hope he rekindled, and in hope he ended; over death, over dread, over doom lifted out of loss, out of life, unto long glory.”

@NephJC Yes, however the study was not powered to find a difference of eGFR slope. Like to mention that I validated the eGFR slope calculation using the fantastic github repository of @Fletcher_RA and @brendonneuen

The consumption of meat, particularly processed meat and unprocessed red meat, is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes across populations. These findings highlight the importance of reducing...

In addition to the late-breaking FINEHEART finerenone pooled IPD data in HFpEF & CKD from @mvaduganathan in HOTLINE 7, join us for multiple kidney-related presentations at #ESCCongress Kidney data from DELIVER, PARAGON, TOPCAT, I-PRESERVE, CANVAS & CREDENCE trials & much more

Important new data on the potential for loop diuretic intensification as a surrogate outcome for worsening HF - for the first time, examined in people with kidney disease! @safchat presenting these data at 9:30AM on Sept 1 Look forward to sharing kidney data at #ESCCongress
Critical issue in #SUMMIT will be the use of a novel expansion of “worsening HF” definition to incl oral diuretic intensification w traditional components CVd, HF hosp, & urgent HF visits No regulatory precedent…yet. Data in keeping with #STEPHFpEF findings on this endpoint

The George Institute commends ANZ Food Ministers for actioning a significant package of food labelling reforms today. The decision to start the work needed to support Health Star Ratings being mandatory if targets are not met by 2025 is a positive step. https://t.co/hyzX61M0Xy

'The way we are interpreting this is, it is very likely to provide additive protection.' @brendonneuen talks to @marywardy @smh about the heart and kidney benefits of combining two diabetes drugs. @HeerspinkHiddo @VladoPerkovic @Fletcher_RA

New diabetes drugs are very likely to improve heart and kidney health for sufferers, research reveals. But Australia’s supply shortage will not be resolved this year.

Labelling systems like the Health Star Ratings need to continually evolve to reflect nutrition science - our researchers showed how modifying the algorithm can address the issue of high scores on unhealthy items. Read more:

Transcriptomic analyses suggest NK cells play an important role in AMR, but immunohistologic studies on NK cell infiltrates in rejecting allografts are scarce. Happy to share our latest analysis addressing this gap. https://t.co/CTVjs8XenR

If you’re tired of thinking about the election, why not take a brain bath and think about medieval history? Here’s a video about Sutton Hoo, and a simpler time when our leaders got buried in their favourite boats. It is available with an accompanying book: https://t.co/cVBW7wfA9e
