Cardiology fellow here. The more you have to pace the shorter the battery lasts? Struggling to see what the novelty is here.

This is most likely a good thing. It isn't killing cardiac myocytes, it's probably assisting with reverse remodeling. Fits with why we know it helps in heart failure.

You have no idea how a hospital or modern medicine works. It needs to be online.

Because essentially every large hospital in the USA does?

Just wrong. Read about the 7J7. The 787 cost something north of 20 billion to develop. The clean sheet 737 would have cost much more in today’s dollars. Boeing makes an average of less than 5% profit margin from the 1970s to now. It was a r

Shame on you. We will not have supersonic transport for average people unless outsiders do it first. There are only two meaningfully large manufacturers now, Airbus and Boeing. Boeing and Airbus both cannot financially afford a technologica

This has been beaten to death in high quality randomized controlled trials in sepsis. Don’t believe a university press release lol. HN is a pretty poor source of health information overall.

This is a simplification. For example niacin (vitamin B3) excesses cause cholesterol to become more atherogenic. And supplementation in patients without deficiency is ultimately harmful.

Your pancreas actually does know things like that you've ingested a lot of carbohydrates before they enter the bloodstream, etc. Certainly there is also a response to exercise that occurs before you coiod easily detect it with a CGM.

I believe that most of the lead used today is a by-product or co-product of mining other more valuable metals like Zinc and silver. Lead is quite abundant in the Earth's crust and found in easy to access deposits. I think >80% of th

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you were able to arrive at a diagnosis. I’m sorry to hear it was such an odyssey. I wonder how many other patients like you we are missing.

Thanks for sharing. I’m a doctor. If you don’t mind sharing, out of curiosity how were you diagnosed with this? Not one of the primary immunodeficiencies I see tested, but I’m not a medical geneticist or pediatrician.

Addressing his specific point that “decolonization” of the curriculum in medicine is “dangerous” - As a practicing physician, I strongly disagree. I think the author likely has a completely inaccurate idea of what a medical curriculum even

For the specific task of (for example) cooking a steak it’s not hard to envision a computer vision algorithm coupled with a model with a some basic knowledge of the system (ambient temperature, oven/stove temperature, time cooking, etc

This was the basis of a very famous F1 car in the 1970s. It was ultimately banned.

Use of the CDC dataset as controls for a non-randomized trial is very problematic. Hard to know what to make of this at all. It has a modicum of bioplausability but I don’t think my posterior probability estimate of effectiveness has change

Truly an unnecessary dig at oncologists. If that happens it is not frequent. The more relevant association for clinical oncologists would be ASCO, which has its annual conference in Chicago this year.

I don’t fully understand the appeal from the manufacturers’ side for in-home batteries and solar. We don’t expect houses to have their own coal powerplants or nuclear generators; why is renewable energy different? Single family housing is b

The problem with this study is that the analysis is based upon intention to treat. Only 42% of those who were randomized to get a colonoscopy actually got one. The cancer incidence was 18% lower among all people who were invited to get a co

That's not true at all, though. Y9u can absolutely do that as long as it's not in red and grey and sold in places customary to collegiate athletics.

Fascinating observation. Thanks for sharing. Given that this problem space still exists I wonder what the best approach might be other than taking the mean

Nice. Yeah maybe this will be a win. I’m overall more for it than against it. Just think there are some downsides. Glad to hear you have had a good time on the NY State insurance. Is it Medicaid? Langone actually has the best (most private)
