In one of my courses in medical school, our professor, a physician, told us that many doctors follow Bayesian inference without even realizing, based on their experience and education. The best doctors recognize this ang educate themselves

What else would it be if not a societal problem?

I personally prefer propublica's Dollars For Docs data visualization and search features of the open payments dataset, it seems more fluid. However, it does not have the recent update for 2017 that open payments has. As a medical stude

I just want to say that you have a fantastic way of writing that explains these therapies extremely well. I've learned about these therapies in class, but your explanations felt even more fluid.

Well they would in theory turn airplane mode on.

Hm. Lots of information is cached, like facebook messages. And Whatsapp is located on the phone itself. Honestly, it's still pretty bad no matter how you look at it.

Not discounting your argument, but HBO Now is cable-independent, so you can pay just for HBO and get Game of Thrones.

From briefly reading the paper and the post-hoc analysis, it seems that they were very clear about their post-hoc analysis and its limitations. In this situation, whoever are reading into it more than they should (could be novartis and thei

Can you provide a source for the 50% post-hoc exclusion? Here is the NEJM paper: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1409077#t=article

Maybe I'm an outlier, but there were quite a few chinese international students in my computer science courses (not at UC) that were quite willing, even with their broken English, to try and interact and hang out with english speaking,

I actually just reset my Mint account yesterday to try and budget better! It wasn't connecting to my bank and credit card accounts before but it seems to be okay now.

I'm sure nobody is saying that it isn't worth trying if there's no risks. It's just that for a lot of therapies that aren't studied, we haven't really figured out what the adverse effects are. Like, look at hom

I don't think that's what the original commenter meant. Most people understand that, but don't know how to budget for things that ARE necessary. I myself am terrible at budgeting, yet have a huge safety net so that even if I

Not dismissing the rest of your comment, but there has been some research into FODMAP diets for IBS. I'm not sure that clinical trials are underway, but evidence based medicine is in full gear trying to determine if these kinds of diet

This is awesome. I work in a research lab that does a lot of bench work and imaging under microscopy. I think that automating some of these processes would greatly speed up the research being done!

I like this plan, but I'd imagine in Alfred Nobel's will there is something requiring that the peace prize be awarded only in Norway.

It's in any field where algorithms are catching up to humans. I feel like it's more of a testament to how humans are able to accomplish complex tasks, rather than an insult.

I think when I wrote this comment I forgot what we were talking about. I was thinking about drugs currently being used in clinical trials. My mistake

Yeah, not to be prude, but this was literally posted yesterday. The actual article, too.

you can get approval on a case by case basis, from what I understand. The doctor or institution will have to send a letter to the FDA beforehand though.

by epmaybe 9y ago
It's not that small, if the statistics look good. And they really do look better than most everything else on the market. Also, the approval isn't for patients newly diagnosed yet, it's only for patients that have relapsed or

I've been wondering this, and I'm not a lawyer so I have no experience in this regard. But! If you patent something, and don't have a licensing fee or anything like that, I would imagine that it would deter some patent trolls

our bodies are pretty darn good at reducing CO2 in our blood. CO2 isn't the problem for our bodies, by far.

Yeah, going to be an unpopular opinion here: Sci-Hub submissions were, in fact, illegal, even if it did do more to democratize access. As such, I don't feel like they should receive this money. A company trying to accomplish democratiz
