That's fair enough, thanks. I'll bear that in mind for the future.

I'm very aware that I'm a HN novice, but can I ask why my post title was edited? The new title is much less descriptive, and x-rays are different from medical images, after all.

I would absolutely be harsh on this. There might well be reasons why they didn't include the other 54- perhaps these were the only 6 to maintain cognitive function sufficiently to continue to receive the treatment, or even be alive! Th

I think this could be balanced within the Mohs scale of sci fi hardness [1]. Sure there can be some hand-waving 'magic pixie dust' where you need to advance the technology to match the story, but many space operas choose a single

The chaos of the NHS beaurocracy in the UK means that doctors don't get rota for their 4-6 month rotations earlier than usually 2-6 weeks before they start, so you aren't able to plan ahead further than the rotation you're in

This is a much better system. In the UK we've gone from using pagers (I still use one) to proprietary systems which don't talk to one another (Medic Bleep, NerveCentre) in order to meet the ISO standard.

My concern would actually be the ventilation. It looks like the access hatch goes straight down from the floor of the workshop. He often seems to have various machinery in there and I'd be concerned that a gas leak could flow into the

Medical students in the UK were forced into incontinence for their exams due to proctoring failures. The same has also been happening with doctors doing their postgraduate exams.

This represents the current research interest in the UK nicely. There is currently a wide gap between lifespan and 'healthspan'- the duration in which someone is independent and healthy. This leads to high care costs, and combined

Sure, and there's a lot of work in this area to predict sepsis in specific subgroups, but as with a lot of AI I think we're a long, long way off a 'general purpose' sepsis detector. For various reasons sepsis just presen

The issue is that sepsis is very poorly defined, difficult to distinguish from other conditions, and very serious if missed. This means that I get automated alerts for patients all day querying sepsis, but probably only 5% (maybe fewer) hav

I'd further add to this "We do not allow traffic controllers to work full 40h work weeks because the job is taxing and they have a strong union ". Many other jobs (e.g. in healthcare) are just as taxing and equally responsib

Naive question from someone with a superficial understanding of Django- I thought the advantage of Django was to abstract away from SQL through Class/Model so you don't need to write these queries? I can't quite tell what the

Original article here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0240-2 What was really interesting was that many of the 'false positives' went on to develop heart failure as well.

I found this one really interesting. The study authors used clinical biomarkers and generated straightforward rules that doctors can interpret, but when this was tried elsewhere the reliability was much lower. We put together a summary disc
