If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, then we won't have the international world order we used to have. It means that you can change the borders of an independent country through war. @marekkohv.bsky.social @tsahkna.bsky.social

Long-Term Outcomes of Subcutaneous Versus Transvenous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Use Among Patients on Maintenance Dialysis
Despite an elevated risk of sudden cardiac death among dialysis patients, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have not been shown to improve mortality and are associated with high complication rates. Subcutaneous (S-)ICDs may reduce the risk of complications for eligible dialysis patients, but safety and benefits vs transvenous (TV-ICDs are unknown.
