So build a battery of tests and aggregate them into a 'score' of health. You can't optimize each aspect to get the best score without actually improving your overall health.

I know, I guess my brain has been trained to think of it as an endorsement even though I can infer that it likely isn't.

Off topic, but every time I see the domain in parentheses on links from pubmed, it shows up as nih.gov. I know that the NIH/NLM runs pubmed, but I feel like I get misled thinking that this is an official NIH publication before I click

I'm using a Raspberry Pi (Gen 1, Model B I think) to run a smart mirror. It pulls up my daily commute, news headlines, weather, and calendar. I take no credit for the software ( https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirr

For the sbc folk - is there a board that runs on 5V like the raspberry Pi and has power data and video over usb type c? Most if not all boards I've found only support power or data, or require 12V.

I use a pre made anki deck for medical school. I add some cards myself now and then, but it's sufficient. I review all the new cards once, first, and that way I've "learned" the material. The other thing that helps is if

Side note regarding DBS: There's some interesting research in grafting a nerve (I could be misremembering, but it's definitely a nerve graft) onto the substantia nigra (a part of the brain that we know produces dopamine), and the

If the battery is reporting less than half, wouldn't that also be something that really needs to be configured?

Doctors can undergo special training in 'palliative care'. These docs have a pretty broad spectrum in terms of when they become involved, but from my own experience they've been pretty good at being patient/family advoca

When you say hands free Siri, does that mean you can activate with 'hey Siri'? And a follow up question: is there a way for iOS to read out new text messages or phone calls incoming and ask you if you'd like to take it?

Thanks for the clarification, so do we know if J&j licensed this patent? I'd assume yes considered Icahn even wished to discuss it.

I posted on the original story about the FDA panel recommending approval a few weeks ago. In that post, I mentioned that Icahn school of medicine holds the patent on the racemic ketamine (instead of S-ketamine) intranasal formulation for tr

I'm glad someone mentioned this, or had a question about this, since it's the one thing I would really want on a fully convertible device. Currently the s9 and s9+ have open betas for Linux on dex, and it works on note 9 and tab s

You're not wrong, most autoimmune diseases are shown to have increased prevalence in women > men. However, we (maybe just me, I havent looked at recent literature) don't yet know if that is due to selection bias. Women are simp

Metformin requires a prescription to purchase in the United States. I'm sure there are ways to get it without, but the legal option sort of requires you to go to a doctor.

The supplement industry in the US is around $122b/yr, whereas the pharmaceutical industry in the US is around $510b/yr. Not sure if some of big pharma has a stake in the dietary supplement industry, maybe the original commenter co

that requires the pharmacy to somehow obtain nasal spray. Unfortunately, no manufacturer actually sells a nasal spray variety (yet) as there was no FDA-approved use for intranasal ketamine. That being said, compounders have been able to mak

That's not how the drug approval process goes in this country, for better or worse. Also noted some misinformation in the comments. FDA will approve drugs from companies or individuals that pay for the application. The cost is pretty h

Right, I'm not denying that the story linked was about fraud in China. But nowhere do they state that the problem is limited to Chinese researchers.

This is moving the goalposts in a dangerous way. You're suggesting that fraud isn't as big of a problem in the US or other countries, when in fact it definitely is. Chinese academics didn't force academics in the USA to fudge

No, not especially. It's mostly dependent on how early in your life you receive doses of radiation. It's why we tend to stay away from CT scans in pregnant women, or other high dose radiation in kids. However, the obstetrician-gyn
