His French is so simple and yet, incredibly beautiful and elegant, in a way that I am not even able to express in words. Only Voltaire compares. "tout le malheur des hommes vient d’une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en

Great work, really hope you'll be able to pierce into the medical market eventually. Dragon is still useless to anyone who can touch type.

It is rare, and is probably due to a combination of green tea and weight loss. However, the effects are catastrophic, and it worth pointing out before someone decides to use tea extracts to "protect" their liver. There are more ca

Beware that green tea supplements have been associated with very sever liver damage. Even though most survive, they often require prolonged intensive care, with attending complications, muscle wasting, etc. Good reference here: https:&#x2F

Pharma and rich greedy doctors are an easy target, but reality is (always) more complicated. Pyridoxine/doxylamine is nothing new, and was released in the USA in the fifties, and withdrawn from the market in the early eighties due to n

You're assuming that more data will reveal a hidden pattern, but the fact is that most data, and especially most of the easily collectable data is useless junk.

Unlikely. Diagnosis is based on imperfect data with very high noise-to-signal ratio, and with auditory (patient's history), visual and tactile inputs. Treatment often need to be tailored for each patients unique needs, goals, and co-ex

I'm very interested about your research area. Can you divulge anything publicly here, or maybe shoot me an email (just put in my profile). Thanks.

Garbage statistics will not get better if you insist on some arbitrary fragility index threshold (and no accepted threshold of an "acceptable" fragility index does exist to the best of my knowledge). Also, using a lower alpha will

by paviva 5y ago
There is no point. The fragility index is essentially a repackaged p-value, and serves only to introduce even more confusion on the top of this already often misunderstood metric. See very good discussion here: https://academic.o

Probably significant. In this population of very severe patients, mortality was "only" 25% in patients managed without proning. Compare with mortalities around ~50% reported early into the pandemic in comparable populations. Obvio

I am not sure I understand the question. The brain "restarts" by itself if its otherwise normal and perfused.

> It is not known whether brain can be brought back at all once all signals stop. This is incorrect. In a brain-dead patient, the isoelectric EEG serves to demonstrate the absence of brain activity despite adequate perfusion and absence

An alternative explanation is that of "viral interference"[1,2], i.e., the most transmissible virus boosting up viral immunity in the population, and precluding transmission of the less transmissible/fit virus [1]: https:&#x

You're searching for a very niche product: something that's not simply a metal vessel that you can use to boil water, but that's not a full-featured water boiler/warmer[1]. Electric boilers last forever, usually have mul

Do you have a citation? I never heard of Minsky espousing this view. Could you be confusing him with Moravec? ( https://frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/project.archive/general.articles... )

So what, you'll end up paying less for their PrEP than for their HIV infection.

PrEP is very likely cost-saving, i.e. it costs less than the life-long treatment of new HIV infections it will have prevented. Unless you're willing to argue that treatment for HIV infections should not be covered, your argument agai
