Also not an MD (yet) so grain of salt, but from my experience: Yeah, D50 is a more direct way to get glucose into the blood stream. It does take a lot more time to mobilize liver stores of glycogen. But using glycogen stores isn't nece

But mapping and alignment in R? Genome annotation in R? I've worked in 3 institutions with a variety of bioinformaticians and that is something I've never seen. I'd argue that R is an unusual choice for that. Microarrays yes,

This looks awesome. The second half of the class is not something that I'd expect to see done in R, so it's nice to have all of this code.

So what did he actually do with this model? Why is it better to do it this way? What is the point? There's no evidence or output here.

He has a higher risk tolerance than me. I would work on this 80% and do the 20% required stuff as a tenured professor, but what do I know. Maybe I am overly enamored with becoming a tenured professor. If he was already spending his time as

Why did he have to leave academia to start a company if he has tenure?

Yeah! Maybe the OP has the heart sounds confused with a pericardial friction rub, which can happen in pathological states and is due to the heart sliding against the pericardium.

Just to expand: With a blood pressure cuff, what you are doing is collapsing the arterial wall with outside pressure. You increase the pressure above systolic blood pressure and then gradually reduce it until you hear a sound. This sound is

Micro vs. macro effects, I think. CO2 from the planes doesn't dissipate rapidly.

Surprised I had to scroll this far to find someone blaming a physicians.

Women with group B strep, chlamydia, or other bacterial infections get antibiotics to avoid transmission during birth because the complications in newborns can be severe and life threatening. Healthy women should not routinely be given anti

And this is from your personal experience as a physician? I disagree.

I have seen many more than one birth. Your statement is a little ridiculous and I hardly know where to begin. I don't especially care where in the brain things originate (and I think you don't know much about the brain). If I get

Whoops, it turns out this idea maybe isn't as real as the pop-science makes it seem: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1308261

The only reason it is no longer a medical emergency is because of modern medicine and hospitals. Women and children used to die frequently during childbirth.

Honestly I can't imagine this being possible. They must use an extremely broad definition of medical error.

In this thread: people who have literally no idea what they're talking about spouting off. I hope it isn't this bad when I read things about other fields.

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for letting me know about that. I believe I've been there at those times but have never noticed.

I have never seen a security checkpoint at a subway, what are you talking about? Hard to even imagine one. What is your source for that?

It is almost always poor practice to make clinical decisions based upon a single paper. Medicine is really complicated.

Neither of these are a peer-reviewed publication. As a bioinformatician, I'm really struggling to see what is new here. It seems like it's mostly a marketing thing.
