This organisation mis-represents a number of leading cancer centres including @TataMemorial, @UTMDAnderson @cityofhope. With very little evidence to support their claims. I request them to send data on randomized trials to justify what they say. cancer-treatment.net/

Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it. BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling. but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡

Water stocks in lakes supplying to Mumbai at 13.55%. Please use water judiciously. With heavy rainfall unlikely over Mumbai and adjoining areas in the immediate future, conserving every drop is crucial. While the normal onset date of the monsoon over Mumbai is June 11, current weather patterns do not indicate a strong start to the season.

There is a fake dubbed clip of me and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi doing the rounds on social media. It depicts Vaibhav as being rude and cocky. Neither was that question asked nor was there an answer like that. It is cruel and mischievous especially towards a young kid who has been very respectful in his few interactions. @rajasthanroyals @bcci

I wrote this in a moment I never would have chosen. A sudden pause that made me see my life clearly. The meaning of our work is profound. This experience simply helped me see more clearly what matters most. “Time is Finite” JAMA jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

"I do recall that during the years which followed the war we were deprived of everything, in particular books and writing materials. For want of paper and ink, I made my first drawings and wrote my first texts on the back of the ration books, using a carpenter’s blue and red pencil. This left me with a certain preference for rough paper and ordinary pencils. "For want of any children’s books, I read my grandmother’s dictionaries. They were like a marvellous gateway, through which I embarked on a discovery of the world, to wander and daydream as I looked at the illustrated plates, and the maps, and the lists of unfamiliar words. The first book I wrote, at the age of six or seven, was entitled, moreover, 'Le Globe à mariner'." - Author Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio. Read his Nobel Prize lecture: bit.ly/4azEU38

One of the best things my therapist ever told me was: Stop assuming that people are mad at you.Stop attempting to read people's minds. Stop trying to manage the thoughts and emotions of others. Let people be in charge of themselves.If they have something to say to you, they will.And if they don't, it's their responsibility, not yours. If you needed to hear that, maybe this account can help.

🩻Contrast-induced AKI: one of the biggest myths still shaping clinical decisions For decades we were taught: 👉 “Contrast damages the kidneys” 👉 “Avoid CT with contrast in CKD” 👉 “Hydrate, protect, delay imaging if needed” But what if… most of this is wrong?🤔 ->The uncomfortable reality Modern evidence shows: 👉 Low-osmolar contrast rarely causes true nephrotoxicity 👉 Even in CKD, AKI, and ICU patients 👉 The risk is often overestimated—or nonexistent So where did the fear come from? 📍 1950s high-osmolar contrast (actually toxic) 📍 Poorly controlled observational studies 📍 “Creatinine rise = contrast injury” assumption 👉 Correlation became causation 👉 And the dogma stayed ⚠️What recent data tells us ✔ No difference in AKI rates with vs without contrast ✔ No benefit from bicarbonate, NAC, or aggressive hydration ✔ Even ICU and AKI patients show no worsening outcomes ->Translation to real life 👉 The patient was going to develop AKI anyway...Not because of contrast!! ->The real problem: “Renalism” 👉 Avoiding necessary imaging 👉 Delaying diagnosis 👉 Choosing inferior tests And that leads to: ❌ Missed PE ❌ Delayed sepsis source control ❌ Worse outcomes ->Clinical mindset shift Instead of asking: 👉 “Will contrast harm the kidneys?” We should ask: 👉 “Will NOT doing the scan harm the patient?” ->Who still deserves caution? ✔ eGFR <30 ✔ Severe hemodynamic instability ✔ Multiple nephrotoxins Even then: 👉 Optimize volume 👉 Minimize dose 👉 Don’t delay critical imaging 🤓Bottom line ✔ Contrast nephrotoxicity exists… but is rare ✔ The fear is bigger than the risk ✔ The harm of NOT imaging is often greater In critical care 👉 We don’t treat creatinine 👉 We treat patients And sometimes… 👉 The most dangerous thing is NOT the contrast 👉 It’s hesitation. 📃Reference Florens N, Demiselle J.
