I think there are too many confounding factors to make a strong claim either way. For example, the older a mother is the more risk there is of a child having downs syndrome, and that in turn is associated with higher risk of ALL/AML. S

I have access to most papers through my university, but every now and then a pubmed or google scholar search leads me to a paper I cannot access easily. For those, instead of waiting for interlibrary loan I can easily just grab the article

How is it any different than being a client of an accountant or lawyer? Or being an assistant to an executive? Regardless, looking at the present, in my opinion having scribes available would provide a simple solution to a problem often bem

So I'm a medical student, as you can probably tell from my comment history. I once helped write a proposal for the American Medical Association related to medical scribes - individuals that record all the data from physicians into the

I agree, but what if the ideal for EHR just hasn't been realized yet? Regulation or not, there must be ways to improve. We probably don't see those innovations because most hospitals stick to the juggernauts such as Epic for their

I should have known this, but I'm glad I know now before assuming in real life. Thanks!

I'm not a female, but don't mothers squeeze their breast while the baby is suckling to push milk through? How much force does that generate?

I know I took a digital logic course and did some fpga implementations in it, man that was hard. I am petrified of having to deal with HDL in the near future for my research, maybe I'll take a class or something.

I think it's interesting because it allows you to quantify the impact of Bitcoin mining on energy consumption. What would we do with our resources if this was not a viable way to produce wealth? With the continuing decline of natural r

If we're sharing websites to obtain glasses, eyebuydirect has been my go to for the last few years. Warby Parker, while significantly more expensive, does have pretty high quality frames with flat rates on lenses.

How many jobs could you get with a Udacity certification versus an actual bachelor's degree? On that note, how many people took the AI classes at Udacity after getting an undergraduate degree at a 4-year institution?

by epmaybe 8y ago
Seems like the university put a decent amount of thought into the program. I wonder whose brainchild this was, and pushed for it to be its own degree? Regardless, even if a student no longer decides to pursue AI research or employment after

Sidenote: I think project baseline is awesome work. Looking forward to getting access to that data.

Perhaps, that's one way to compare non-inferiority. Few if any primary care physicians take the time to look in ones eye (don't know how to use direct ophthalmoscope, don't have other specialized fundus cameras in clinic). Gi

Also keep in mind that if there are positives general practitioners would refer to a specialist anyways for treatment. These specialists would be more than equipped to detect false positives. Teleretina imaging is becoming more and more pre

I agree that for the vast majority of kids out there, study technology interferes with learning. I originally thought we were talking about college education rather than primary/secondary education, which was my mistake. So is it possi

I don't agree with this sentiment. Semantics aside (pens and paper are considered technology whether you like it or not), technology is what you make of it. If you can apply said technology to be more productive in class, then allow yo

Note that in the paper, they mentioned controlling for age. Also mentioned is that this data is preliminary, hence the low sample size.

Here is the actual paper, for your reference. I'm appalled that ScienceDaily did not link this in their article. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

I mentioned in a later comment that the researchers stated in the article that the small-molecule drug needs more work before human trials. I think you and another commenter are correct in that in vivo animal models should be higher up in

I'm not so sure it's a great time at all. Most alzheimer's drugs have failed dramatically. vTv Therapeutics is the most recent I think. They had a Phase 3 drug trial end early due to futility, and their stock tanked hard. In

I'm not entirely sure. It seems, from the paper, that mouse models do not share the same phenotype with humans, so animal tests may not be all that helpful, except for some safety data. I'm not sure they will be able to culture ac

I'm shamelessly pulling all of this from the paper abstract, which you should find here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0004-z As for what this means: it's exciting, and if these researchers can p

I'll take a stab at explaining this. Neuroscientists and biomedical researchers, feel free to chime in with corrections. In biomedical researchers, the strength of evidence of your data correlates with how close it is to modeling the h

Not to bring this up in every usb-c comment, but what do you do for backwards compatibility? I consistently (nearly daily) find myself having to connect older USB devices into my laptop, but end up grabbing an adapter/dongle to connect

If one thinks that their ideas on alternative therapies are worth investigating, I would strongly urge them to connect with a scientist that shares similar views, and apply for funding through the NIH. There is a significant amount of fundi

Your comment is misleading. Certain cancers are indeed 'caused' by genetic changes, and researchers are actively looking for ways to prevent those genetic changes from occuring in the first place. But do you really tell someone wi

Also wanted to point out that the NIH is rolling out a standardized e-cigarette for research, so that all the results in future papers can be compared with one another. The settings otherwise are just too variable otherwise. https:/&#
