Saturday Morning 10K Run (and Walk) in the hilly terrains of Kodungoor. The terrain is such that it is either uphill or downhill. Even the 'flat' sections in between are also either gently slopping up or down. I walked the uphill sections and ran the downhill & relatively flat sections.
The (lack of) Evidence Behind Haemoadsorption in Septic Shock: I was asked to argue the CON position at the Debate "Hemoadsorption in Septic Shock Standard of Care in 2026, or Expensive Placebo?" at CCNA3.0 in Pune & I conducted a literature review. A short 🧵1/15

Exactly 16.5 years (6,035 days) ago, I joined JIPMER as faculty in Nephrology. I'm now at the exact midpoint of my academic career here — a good time to take stock. A thread 🧵 (1/10)

Sunday Morning 15K Run 🏃🏽♂️ The run was marred by stray dogs coming after me at the Irumbai village (the destination).
I am sure this is the ‘lived experience’ of many - aerobic exercise doesn’t help weight loss. Combining it with diet restrictions seems even worse. www.newscientist.com/article/2514...
Why exercise isn't much help if you are trying to lose weight
When we exercise more, our bodies may compensate by using less energy for other things – especially if we eat less too

My first #HalfMarathon done and dusted! At the Annual Auroville Marathon 2026 (Ran 21km, but my watch tracked only 20.5km).
Apparently Time is an Illusion! This is supposed to be Physics (Quantum Physics) but has no resemblance to the Physics I learned at school (admittedly 30 yrs back). This reads more like philosophy or science fiction! www.newscientist.com/article/2511...
The daring idea that time is an illusion and how we could prove it
The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black holes promises to reveal time’s true nature

Made an effort to be more physically active in 2025 and this is how it turned out. Ran 701 out of 838 km and walked 134 km. I stopped going on bike rides in 2025 & that explains the lower distance (despite days active being more) Vs 2024.

#SpotifyWrapped2025 Music (listening, no singing) has been an integral part of my life for decades and 2025 was no different. While it started with audio cassettes in the 90s & passed through CDs, iPOD & Musicolet App on my phone, #Spotify has been the staple for past few years.
Something so fundamental to understanding and interpreting health parameters, yet not understood by most lay people. Thanks @thehindu.com for having such a worthy article occupy precious newspaper space!
The BICAR-ICU-2 trial just dropped! RCT involving IV bicarb in metabolic acidosis among patients with mod-severe AKI Bicarb didn't affect mortality but it reduced the need for dialysis & risk of bacteremia VERY similar conclusions to BICAR-ICU-1 🧵 #1/ jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... #EMIMCC
