Not necessarily. Opioids, like other euphoriants, are somewhat "stimulating" (mentally) in small doses. I know they aren't just "trying to get high". The problem is that in order to get any psychotropic effects fr

You are describing domains, and neither the article nor its title suggested the discovery of a new domain. There's no technical reason I'm aware of for "branch" to be restriced to describing domains of life. This case ap

The article clearly states that there were 16,651 overdose deaths "involving" opioids. It does not say anything about cause of death or exclusion of other drugs.

>There are around 115 U.S. acetaminophen deaths per year, versus around 17k opioid analgesic deaths. First, I said "overdoses", not "overdose deaths". There is a difference. The source you cited doesn't make it c

Side note: acetaminophen is a much bigger threat than most opioid analgesics themselves. It's directly involved in something like 10% of all overdoses in the US. There's no practical reason for opioids like hydrocodone to be mixed

Apparently, not for medical students. This is what their service rep responded: >For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

One of my professors (in medical school) pointed out that these posters are great for learning the chemistry, but aren't very useful to us students because they don't show you what cells/tissues these processes are happening

I (hopefully) assume this will get removed in Iceweasel and Icecat.

A bit of a tangent, but it's really a shame that triclosan use is still so ubiquitous in the United States. It does way more harm than good. Only one state (Minnesota) has actually taken a stance toward limiting its public use, which w

What other meaning does "Perl" have?

by dbbolton 12y ago
I wonder why Perl was excluded. A quick search reveals that /r/perl has more subscribers than lua, matlab, objectivec, scala, sql, and visualbasic.

I was more or less criticizing their presentation of their product rather than the actual product, i.e. I think they could use better examples.

I don't think I need a browser extension to tell me that the bulk of content on the example sites they show (especially Forbes and Buzzfeed) is sponsored. I'm more interested to see how it performs on less obvious sites that at l

>Suppose he gave the task 60 hours a week during those two months. Over 8 hours a day? Seems like a bit of an over-estimate to me. I think 20 hours a week is probably a lot more reasonable, unless the guy had absolutely no life.

Mass spec isn't terribly useful on a mixture with a large number of unknown chemicals (like wine). The resulting spectrum would likely have overlapping peaks all over the place and wouldn't really tell you much about the compositi

Wine tasting itself isn't necessarily a futile activity. The "junk science" part is when self-described "experts" assign arbitrary percentile scores based on the tasting.

Unfortunately fluorosis can be a bit more serious than just some marks on your teeth. In severe cases of skeletal fluorosis, patients can experience pain/damage to the bones and joints. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

Because the proposed mechanism has nothing to do with histamine or immune response. Such a K+ channel blocker should hypothetically have the same effect in the vast majority of the general population.

Excessive black tea consumption can also cause fluorosis. It's quite difficult to say just how much tea one would have to drink to cause any symptoms though. Bottom line, moderation is usually a good idea.
