Like PARAGON-HF in HFpEF, where heterogeneity of the causes of HFpEF diluted the efficacy.

Main issue is that we try to see an effect of an agent in a heterogenous population. ICU population is not homogeneous, that's why none (Except steroids) have shown any beneficial effect. Each tested therapy might be effective in a select population, but heterogeneity negates it.

Physicians are not burned out because medicine is hard.
Medicine has always been hard. That is not new.
We are burned out because the things making it harder have nothing to do with medicine.
Fix the system. Keep the physicians.

Large observational studies show higher Vitamin D levels, and use of vitamin D supplements, associate with lower risk of breast cancer and lower risk of CV disease.
You know what doesnβt prevent breast cancer or lower CV events? Vitamin D supplementation.
Women taking GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) were about 30% less likely to develop breast cancer, despite matching for age, BMI, race, diabetes status, & breast density.
The more we learn about this drug class, the more it looks like we've stumbled onto something big.

For a president of the United States to nonstop shitpost this kind of ass-vomit and dumbfuckery, the degree of derangement, jealousy, and insecurity has to be off the charts.

It's catchy though, kinda makes me want to go learn about hyponatremia. Somehow you, @NephRodby, and the @BookBurton team has made it fascinating (even to non-nephs like me!)
