I haven’t seen nicotine as being protective for alzheimers, but it is protective for Parkinson’s and Ulcerative colitis. In fact during medical school I saw a young patient who was trying to get healthy to help deal with her autoimmune issu

Except SARS-CoV-2 also has a proof-reading lacking RNA Polymerase, and HIV infects CD4+ T cells whilst SARS-CoV-2 infects cells which express ACE2, which are numerous, but doesn’t necessarily mean a person with both infections is at all lik

I have not seen widespread data on symptomatic vs unsymptomatic cases however during the most recent NSW surge around 5-7% of new infections ended up presenting to hospital at some stage. Testing was widespread and likely highly compliant -

There’s a reason why my nursing colleagues have a (relatively) high degree of vaccine hesitancy and are losing their jobs - a proportion of them are just not capable of understanding the science and think that their experience (and Facebook

I think the idea of fully decentralising all the things as per web3 or the move to crypto is really interesting. But if the last couple years has told us anything it’s that it’s being immediately met with a wave of recentralisation where so

I wonder whether you could approach the startup hub or one of the coworking spaces there and see if they’re keen on putting some space aside for it? Occupancy is waaay down and will probably stay that way for quite a while. Actually, I coul

This is unfortunately fairly accurate. There is a deep and wide ocean of the things we know inexactly, and a growing pool of things we can work miracles on. However as the complexity of patients grows and the burden of disease shifts from i
