You keep saying the same irrelevant thing. It doesn’t matter how hard it is to showcase 5M apps, /if you’re taking 30% of the cut from all of them, in exchange for promoting them/. Fraud at scale is still fraud. This isn’t a diffi

Reading one 2D slice at a time and calling it 3D is... not wrong. I don’t think it’s right, either. But we are now splitting hairs and not adding value.

MRI and US already do. It’s just not often helpful, because damage doesn’t need to be grossly visible and because we can’t do much for it regardless.

Just throwing out there: US is 2D, X-ray is 2D, MRI is 2D slices, and CT is also a series of 2D slices but you can reconstruct reasonable guesses at 3D structures with it. This being 2D doesn’t strike me as a huge drawback

I think less than 5% of comments on open-office design, that I have ever seen, were positive. Who are the people you are describing as being “sold”?

I think of woodworking as a very similar discussion. People would wear N95s when working with a shit-ton of visible particulates, but otherwise are constantly leaving their lungs unprotected. The resultant progressive loss of long function

No, I think the issue is that your lungs can’t generate enough negative pressure to respirate effectively through 20m of pipe.

I was mistaken, and got snarky about it to boot. I was in a shit mood. Sorry.

“ Pharmaceutical company Roche announced Friday afternoon that it will release the recipe for its lysis buffer if Dutch laboratories ask for it. ” Is what the article says. What it doesn’t say is whether Roche will actually do so, or use st

If I am not mistaken, gas chromatography gives you composition, not proportions. That’s not a minor hurdle in this discussion.

Your question presupposes HN is a community. To the extent that community is “a group of people with shared interests,” I don’t know how you would define that as healthy or not - health refers to fitness for function, and there’s no inheren

My mistake. Why would I have thought that a cyclooxygenase-inhibiting NSAID would have anything to do with a cyclooxygenase-inhibiting nsaid. These are entirely different kettle of fish, and I am a fool for thinking adverse effects of one w

And during this out break, we have seen some tentative data that patients on aspirin do worse, and should avoid it. Wish we knew which way to jump.

Much of the test interpretation has to do with the correlation of sleep structure to changes in your vitals, I.e., I don’t care if it was the worst night of your sleeping life, if you had X number of apnic events per unit time sleeping, tha

People often don’t know they have a fever. Not necessarily because they feel well, but because they fail to identify their ill feeling as “fever”. I’ve had tons of patients deny fever, endorse fever symptoms, and then have a fever on thermo

I find this really funny, because Stoli is literally short for “table vodka” (“stol” is table.) In Russia, it was a super cheap shit vodka. I wonder if they’ve gotten better - or if just their marketing has.

Its use in the presence of a plausible mechanism, and in the absence of any good supporting data, does not indicate efficacy. It indicates that when a patient is circling the drain you throw things at the wall that could plausibly have some

We could also have a whole website of things people strongly believed were effective that RCTs absolutely demolished.

> Dna could be falsified Cool! That’s an interesting idea. I could see particular attributes of DNA being corrected, but How would a molecular basis for inheritance be disproven? After all, we see the molecule on microscopy, we modify it

The N95s are for everyone expected to have direct exposure to patients with covid19. There’s no “tier” of healthcare professional that is unworthy of protection.

That is an interesting article, but just so we are clear, he repeats exactly what I said: inhaled droplets. He then goes on to say inhalation of droplets is not historically what is referred to as “droplet transmission,” and goes on to disc

People touch the surface, then their faces. Inhaled aerosols are not a significant component of how this virus spreads. Touched surfaces with viral films, and inhaled droplets, are.

Already has been in my house. At least one study has shown survival on steel and plastic at about a week. Mist it with rubbing alcohol and stick it in a sunny corner for a few days.
