    Abstract Social media is defined as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content". Social media can be used in medical education to enhance knowledge sharing among peer groups and the public in general. The internet revolutionized learning by allowing easier dissemination of knowledge that did not depend on printing and physical distribution of books, journals, or magazines. According to a report from 2018, 95% of students have access to smartphones and 45% are online at any given time. Social media platforms are powerful tools to spread knowledge by the way of stories, videos, and educational games. Both formal and informal learning can be achieved with the use of social media. The microblogging website Twitter has become a popular social media platform by many in medical education including the nephrology community. Twitter, for example, is used to build communities, discuss journal articles, inform the community of conferences, share infographics and visual abstracts of original research work. As an example, it can be difficult for women in nephrology to connect and travel to make a physical presence. The use of social media allows women to connect

    Abstract Background: As free open access medical education (FOAMed) use increases, it is important to characterize how and why learners are using this educational material in nephrology. We describe the frequency, purpose, and type of FOAMed usage across US nephrology fellows.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, items were emailed to all US adult and pediatric nephrology fellows via the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Fellow Survey in May 2022. The eight-item survey, developed to measure FOAMed engagement, had previously undergone instrument validation. The results were analyzed by descriptive statistics.
    Results: In total, 43% (359/842) adult nephrology fellows and 51% (45/88) pediatric nephrology fellows completed the survey. Seventy-four percent (300/404) of fellows reported using FOAMed, and 72% (215/300) started using FOAMed within the past 2 years. Of FOAMed users, 41% (122/300) reported viewing FOAMed and 33% (99/300) reported applying knowledge gained from these resources daily or weekly. Common purposes for FOAMed engagement included searching Twitter to learn about others' opinions in the field (43%; 130/300), reading blogs to answer clinical questions (35%; 105/300), and listening to podcasts for the most up-to-date information (39%; 116/300). Compared with traditional educational resources, fellows preferred using FOAMed for staying up to date on nephrology topics (75%) and answering clinical questions (37%). Among all fellows, the greatest barriers to FOAMed use were unfamiliarity with FOAMed (27%; 111/404), validity concerns (22%; 90/404), and a lack of a local community of FOAMed users (22%; 87/404).
    Conclusions: Seventy-four percent of nephrology fellows used FOAMed resources in a variety of ways, and of them, 33% of fellows clinically applied knowledge gained from these resources. Reasons for engaging with FOAMed varied across resources.

    Abstract Background: It is not known how learners feel about free open access medical education (FOAMed) as they progress through their training from medical school to fellowship. Love and breakup letter methodology (LBM) is a technique that has been used extensively in user experience technology-based research but has not previously been used in evaluating medical education tools. LBM asks participants to creatively write a "love" or "breakup" letter to a product under study to capture their thoughts and emotions when engaging with it. We conducted qualitative analysis of data from focus groups to explore how attitudes toward a learning platform change at various training stages and to broaden our understanding of how we meet learners' needs through a nephrology FOAMed tool, NephSIM.
    Methods: Three virtual, recorded focus groups were conducted with second-year medical students, internal medicine residents, and nephrology fellows ( N =18). At the start of the focus group, participants composed and read their love and breakup letters. Semistructured discussions were then led by facilitator-driven questions and peer comments. After transcription, inductive data analysis was conducted using Braun and Clarke's six-step thematic analysis.
    Results: Four main themes were seen across all groups: attitudes toward teaching tool, perception of nephrology, learning needs and approach, and application to practice. Preclinical students positively viewed the opportunity to simulate the clinical setting and unanimously wrote love letters. Reactions from residents and fellows were mixed. Residents were interested in brevity and speed of learning, preferring algorithms and succinct approaches to meet their practice-based learning needs. Fellows' learning needs were driven by a desire to prepare for the nephrology board examination and review cases uncommonly seen in practice.
    Conclusions: LBM provided a valuable methodology through which to identify trainee reactions to a FOAMed tool and highlighted the challenges of meeting learning needs of a continuum of trainees with a single learning platform.

    Abstract Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor have become widely used in patients with diabetes, heart failure, and kidney disease to improve clinical outcomes and diminish hospitalizations. They have also been associated with increased serum magnesium levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. The use of SGLT2 inhibitors resulted in improved magnesium homeostasis in a series of patients with refractory hypomagnesemia with urinary magnesium wasting. However, the role of SLGT2 inhibitors in patients with hypomagnesemia without urinary magnesium wasting remains unexplored. We report 2 cases with refractory hypomagnesemia without significant urinary magnesium wasting and dramatically improved serum magnesium levels after the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors. Case 1 achieved independence from weekly intravenous magnesium infusions and reached sustainably greater serum magnesium levels with decreased oral magnesium supplementation and increased urinary fractional excretion of magnesium. Case 2 demonstrated improved serum magnesium levels with reduced oral magnesium supplementation without significant reduction in urinary fractional excretion of magnesium. These findings not only expand the use of SGLT2 inhibitors but also open the door for further studies to better understand the pathophysiology of how magnesium homeostasis is altered with inhibition of SGLT2.
