I was reading the article trying to find a source cited where I could see where the depersonalization symptoms are better described but didn’t find it. Anybody have a better link t…

Someone linked to the paper but basically it was pointing out a number was a multiple of X venus years and also Y solar years, but also it was a sum of different multiples of impor…

Source article for those interested: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2505783 Paywalled but has a free access option if you make an account.

I didn’t realize there was a farsi word chert. I was thinking it was named after my favorite cryptocrystalline silicate mineral.

Sounds like you have additional and better evidence than the USPTF that made the changes in aspirin for primary prevention. They do have a method to give feedback, and based on my …

There’s a hopefully unrelated concept called purple urine bag syndrome I have seen. Not completely understood either but this paper thinks due to a combination of dietary tryptopha…

I remember that video! 14 years ago it inspired me, to program a text adventure game proposal for my wife (still happily married). Thanks!

Not directly since we all have it. It’s a bit confusing from the article but basically they discovered an antibiotic which can target a narrower spectrum than before which will min…

I didn’t see any mention in the article about the rise of obesity as a possible cause. Aside from the social aspects which could be debated, older obese adult men are more likely t…

Ahh I bet that is where the confusion is. I am a physician and I have used methylene blue in severe shock and methemoglobinemia but I was a bit worried the parent comment believed …

Hello, I would be interested if you could give evidence that methylene blue "works great" for carbon monoxide poisoning in humans. It is not the standard of care in any guidelines …

No they were in college in the 80s when things were more open, but Andrei’s point was that compared to a lot of other sciences, molecular biology like cloning genes was decades beh…

Thanks for the follow up I couldn’t find it!

This may be covered but one absurdity that I came across was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism When I was an undergraduate working in a molecular biology lab my two mentor…

Interesting, I wouldn't classify IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) as a disease of aging in the same way as the other diseases (MASH, Alzheimer's, etc..) like the author did here…
