Because they aren’t pronounced the same in their respective countries/languages. As mentioned elsewhere, Iran is “ee-raan”. Iraq is more like “eh-raaq”. They have different initial vowels which are obvious in Persian/Arabic script

Agreed. I try to accept all ML focused paper review requests in my disciplines, but modern academics do not reward you for the time you take as a reviewer, which then distracts me from working on my own projects. It's very much an unco

The lab I was affiliated with published a similar paper on gender dimorphism for pediatric hand and wrist radiographs in 2018. The experience of working on that paper made me realize saliency/class-activation maps are only really usef

It’s not just the non tech savvy. It’s substantially faster to dictate text than type it, especially if your hands are occupied with the computer doing something else (ie interpreting radiology exams, dictating a treatment course or visit n

This entirely depends on the plan agreements. I’ve had hospital 401ks that use fidelity and have access to brokeragelink which lets you trade individual stocks.

Radiologist/Nuclear Medicine here: This is interesting because it’s another application of Cu64 for PET imaging as opposed to more widely available tracers such as F18 or Ga68. Cu64 has some advantages because it has a comparable posit

My family always used the phrase “taarof nakon”. However, this then leads to recursive questions of “by agreeing to not taarof, did they just agree out of taarof?” I agree with the other poster who hates it; it’s an obnoxious method of soci

That's sort of a typical ratio for Basmati rice. Not good for East Asian varieties though.

They are down because they are dying at home, which is captured in the excess mortality. The excess mortality is higher than the already official Covid tracked deaths.

What do you think Medicare pays for ventilator use for non Covid ICD10 claims? Further, analysis by the Washington Post examined excess death by all causes. It’s way up. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/202

Are you sure you aren’t mixing up CT and MRI? Our scheduled diagnostic CT slots are at every 15 minutes, of which probably 10 minutes are getting the patient on-off the table and positioned and 2 minutes are cleaning the room. I do CT guide

Can it differentiate between all the various types of atypical infection? Because the findings of COVID are nonspecific viral pneumonia, which could literally be any atypical infectious/inflammatory process. CT only has great sensitiv

Sorry, modern CT scans are < 20 seconds. The really great scanners are 10 seconds.

1. I am not familiar with coronavirus biology, however, as to the general question about nasal -> brain routes if infection: yes this is a risk if the virus is able to infect the olfactory nerves and travel retrograde through the cribrif

As someone who interprets CTs, the findings described in that paper are totally nonspecific and just indicate a pulmonary infectious/inflammatory process. The takeaway I have is if the CT is totally clear, COVID is unlikely. Otherwise,

Both my comment and the website linked literally say “most people can eat peanut oil”. That’s hardly dangerous misinformation. I’m willing to bet the restaurant had peanut cross contamination in the kitchen.

As a fun fact, peanut oil is so highly processed that most people with peanut allergy can eat it. https://acaai.org/resources/connect/ask-allergist/does-peanu...

There's a lot of anecdotes in this thread about people being prescribed "too much". What would your anecdote be if your child was in severe pain after the surgery, occurring in the middle of the night, and you needed to get t

It’s also in how you define a false positive... If you recall someone from screening for additional diagnostic views, this is not strictly a false positive as the initial evaluation is definitionally incomplete. However, many would argue th

Any place that accepts insurance is bound by the terms of the insurance contract, which usually includes a most favored nation clause, meaning that you won't accept cash payment for less than the negotiated reimbursement from the carri

Or you could not have insurance play games where they pay less because something is done on the same day. We used to have this in Radiology. If a patient came in for a Cancer restaging CT, payers could pay 100% of the chest, 50% of the abd

My usual example is the NHS. A lot of medical imaging AI papers are published using NHS data with great claims like "Normal chest radiographs were detected by our AI system with a sensitivity of 71%, specificity of 95%, PPV of 73%, an

I agree that ad hominem is of dubious utility; however, here I'd argue this is not an ad hominem in that I made no judgment of the poster, but rather pointed out he has frequently posted on this topic, calling for "investigation o
