This may be the most disturbing thing yet I’ve heard out of HHS. Likely AI generated fake references using real author’s names. If the studies don’t exist, how can the science be sound? Is AI destined to be backed by false claims as it creates more and more references on its own?

Many kidney patients on the transplant waitlist are unaware when their transplant team has declined a particular organ on their behalf. We want to change that. kidney.quorum.us/campaign/10282…

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. Fox News might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

1/  🚨📢 Tweetorial alert! We know that cisplatin is a usual suspect for AKI in an onconephrology setting, but when it causes kidney damage, it can be unpredictable. That’s where this recent urinary biomarker study in KIReports paper comes into play. Let’s start with a quiz! 📝
