Interestingly, there was a recent study that indicated for penetrating trauma the patient had a much higher survival rate if they were taken to the ER by private car compared with waiting for EMS transport. Presumably because you are less l

There are a couple reasons why he might do this that I can think of. 1). He didn't know how many people were going to come in or how serious they would be. Triage in MCI does depend to a certain degree on what your facility is capable

This is not my understanding of how to triage in MCI. ATLS definitely does teach the importance of deprioritizing people that will be hard or impossible to resuscitate in favor of prioritizing people that leads to a roughly utilitarian grea

Thanks for the PDF :) If matrix moved toward pond style metadata protection I would make the effort to move my social graph on to it and probably support it financially. As is, I don't see the value proposition of matrix. I am genuinel

I am excited for the phone but I don't get having matrix as the messaging app. I don't see the value in matrix. Encryption is not on by default, which is unacceptable in a modern messaging app. It leaks metadata like a seive. None

I cancelled my model 3 reservation over this. I found it very sleazy this wasn't mentioned in the official reveal.

Do you have a citation for your claims? Specifically that low serotonin levels CAUSE depression in humans?

SSRIs don't have clinically relevant effects. The following study is a review article. It cites most of the meta analysis the are relevant. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4172306/?report...

This is an excellent comment and reflects the current state of research. There is good evidence for the efficacy of ketamine in treatment resistant depression. The psychedelics are not well studied. SSRIs are not useful and may be harmful.

There is no evidence for the chemical imbalance hypothesis. Your friend anecdotal evidence is contradicted by a large body of emprical research. For a good overview of the evidence on SSRIs on depression I would recommend the article "

There is no well done study I have heard of that supports your position. In general SSRIs have an effect size that is so low it is not clinically relevant. There are multiple meta analyses that demonstrate that.

I am a physician with training in neuroscience. There is no scientific consensus that stimulants help the problems you are talking about. There is some preliminary evidence that stimulants may make some problems worse (graduation rates).

You are over stating the case for what stimulants can do in ADHD. They probably do make kids more docile. They do not improve grades over a meaningful time span. They do not improve broad and important outcomes like graduation rate (there i

They are almost all placebo response. The real effect is so small it's probably not useful clinically. They also cause suicidal ideation and sexual dysfunction is a large minority of patients.

I am a practicing physician with 2 years of graduate level course work in neuroscience. Point 3 and 4 are wrong. There is no evidence that SSRIs work by fixing a chemical imbalance. There are multiple metananlyses in top tier journals that

Or an even bigger prize for keeping it secret. If you could break asymmetric encryption at will you could plunder much bigger prizes than Satoshi's coins.

I am not so sure. I don't understand work well but there have been a couple papers saying they can get a quantum speed up on factorizing using adiabatic quantum computers [1]. Further, Geordie Rise himself said that they have an algor

I am a physician. The few studies comparing long term antipsychotic use in schizophrenia have found that people do better with low/no medication. They are more functional, have fewer relapses and better quality of life. This is stil

It should be noted that studies looking at normal vs no/reduced antipsychotic therapy in patients with psychotic dieases have indicated that in the long term patients may do significantly better without antipsychotic therapy. https:&#

Bitmessage hides the metadata by sending a given message from one person to another person to everyone in the network (it obviously has scaling problems!). Because everyone gets every message you can't really see the metadata. I2p-bot

I don't think the protocols are that similar. Bitmessage is a "eveyone gets every message sent by anyone" type of situation. Bote is a mixnetwork with a dht cache. Ricochet is also built on a mix network but with out a dht
