Living kidney donation! A thread...I have been quiet about something for a while now but I think it’s time to spill the beans! Earlier this year I was a living kidney donor. #transplant #donation

This is incredibly important info (and their clinicians) for WOMEN with Heart Health issues particularly due to the increased prevalence of depression in women with heart events and Beta Blockers being part of evidence based medicine post MIs !!! @CWHHAlliance @abwomenshealth

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.) John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked

RFK Jr is an evil man. He is a dangerous purveyor of health disinformation. If you believe him, you’re a fool. The damage he is doing to healthcare in the US and global public health is incalculable.

Agree- very hard to understand non-HLA antibodies without defining positive thresholds and understanding false positive reactivity. Also, let’s look at female and pediatric populations next. Likely more complex. Other non-HLA assays completely lack necessary controls. #transplant

U of C economist @trevortombe demolishes separatist economic claims and points out that they seem to be planning to grab the pension savings of all Albertans. It’s not your money, separatists! #HandsOffOurPensions

In Alberta, a 14 year old can consent to sex with an adult but can't read, "Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret." because it talks about periods. #AbPoli

First time attending @CIC_ChemInst. As an immunologist, I’m a little out of my element! But learning new things. Looking forward to some glycan fun today. If you are attending #CSC2025 and want to connect the dots between glycans and transplantation, see you in room 106 today

Albertans should be paying attention and be VERY concerned: Govt is marching forward with privatizing all of our HC system. Many many concerns w selling off hospitals to private for-profits: 🧵 1/12 https://t.co/hpso7HEweK

This publication reflects many years of development and validation. Stay tuned for more data showing the excellent reproducibility of this test, its application in other patient populations, and other organ recipient groups. #Innovation #EquityInAccess #ABOincompatible

This collaborative work highlights the use of a new ABO antibody detection tool to expand donor options for ABO-O and ABO-B #transplant patients. We already use a single antigen bead-based approach for HLA antibodies. The time is now for ABO-histocompatibility. 🅰️🅱️🆎🅾️
