I don’t think the examples shown reflect an element of critique.

The nordicc trial was published last year. This is recent results, trials with 10 year followup take a long time to run. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2208375

If you have complete AV block, a leadless pacemaker is less good than one with multiple leads, since it allows pacing multiple chambers and maintaining synchrony between A and V.

Not all treatments are equally likely as well. Given how good dietary science is outside of cancer, less optimistic at rigorous studies in this area.

It’s a research dataset, similar to MNIST or CIFAR. Stanford does not want to be in the business of monetizing patient data, so it restricts commercial use.

With AIMI, we released EchoNet-Dynamic, the largest open dataset of echocardiograms (cardiac ultrasounds) and expert cardiologist labels as part of a paper published last year. The…

There are definitely doctors who will space it out if you’re stable or do a phone refill

I have absolutely nothing against CGMs, but the author confounds measurement error (which can happen in both blood tests as well as subcutaneous measurement which a CGM does), thre…

Medical doctors at universities and medical schools generally make 50% of salaries for private practice.

Less, it’s not on label for aortic regurgitation, only aortic stenosis.

Not op but cortisol is elevated in "just stress" as well as critical illness. An elevated cortisol is not a diagnostic test that can deferentiate between a serious medical problem …

For the uninitiated, could you explain the difference?

Yes, but that does not require complicated structures like blood vessels. Embryos and ova are small enough to grow on cell culture in which diffusion is enough to provide oxygen an…

Would you want someone to get you water from a sink? With a tiny cup meant for spitting? Most doctors offices have water coolers or bottled water that they can give you. They proba…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_Lyme_disease Chronic Lyme is very controversial and likely not the true etiology

All three links are about the same small startup that is being funded by SBIR through the NIH, which is all about trying to give seed funding for experimental technology. The paten…

It is not true that ultrasound is used to power pacemakers. Citation definitely needed.

I'm going to be a cardiology fellow at Stanford in July, we use ultrasound often for both bedside informal exams as well as diagnostic echocardiogram. I've used handheld devices li…
