Fancy predictive algorithm to predict renal functional outcomes after PN? Ain’t nobody got time for that. Nityam Rathi Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine presents simplified eGFR calculation: GFR_new = .9 * GFR_pre performs as well or better than multivariable algorithms. Nice work from

Thanks for featuring our work led by #MRSP super 🌟Jessica Hsueh (she/her) Georgetown Medicine NIH CC MedEd. Large language models can augment your research (and will be even better in the future). Her work showed that they can help identify post-operative complications (but not perfect yet for

Fascinating MUSIC Urology study lead by Craig Rogers MD on surgeon skill and surgical outcomes in partial nephrectomy. Higher skills (scored by blinded reviewers) ➡️ ⬆️ perioperative outcomes. Annotated videos are a great opportunity for training/education as well

From one incredibly (understatement) productive tenure to another, Mohamad Allaf about to present Dr. Patrick Walsh with a roof slate from the original Johns Hopkins Medicine The Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute dome! Amazing that entire Walsh family was there to help recognize this amazing accomplishment!

Today HHS.gov Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm toured the urologic oncology lab that I share with Dr. Marston Linehan in the NIH Clinical Center. Dr. Linehan recently received an HHS Secretary’s Award for Distinguished Service for his contribution to the discovery of the VHL gene.

“What has made our research year so special is the strong sense of community and camaraderie at the NIH.” – Jessica Hsueh, NCI Medical Research Scholar I love to hear feedback like this from NCI trainees. More reflections on a research year in urology: spr.ly/6011i9ktb
