The reason people get endophthalmitis is rarely due to a contaminated batch, but it certainly happens. But frankly it’s unsustainable to have all patients on branded drug, it would…

I’m in ophthalmology where AI diagnostics have been promised for almost a decade. We have FDA approved diagnostics for diabetic retinopathy screening that has been commercially ava…

It’s not often that an ophthalmology study makes it into the New England journal of medicine. This is pretty neat technology, but subretinal surgery is a skill mostly forgotten by …

As someone at an academic institution, this drives me insane. I mean, have some sort of pride in your work. Copy forward but make the necessary changes!!

Isn't that a Stark law violation?

Most people don't get blocks nowadays for cataract surgery. I will do so for patients with wandering eye movements or for more difficult cases, or for more invasive surgery besides…

Eye surgeon here: FLACS isn't really that amazing. I would actually argue that a man made incision using steel or diamond (yes, diamond) is better than the incision made using the …

Eye doctor here: some hot takes in this thread about the diagnostic abilities of the specialists involved in this patient's care. It's easy to be an armchair clinician. The timelin…

This is something that really bothered me - I had an app that was small and worked fine on the latest Android OS, yet they took the app and account down because we hadn’t uploaded …

Has anyone ever brought up superficial keratectomy to you? Risk benefit discussion at least. Also, muro drops are otc and can help acutely

Note this strategy is mainly only being executed by Nintendo, who insists on selling their hardware at a profit. I still suspect they are making more money on their software though…

Most if not all MacBooks today are still 16:10 ratio..

This is correct. Do you know what percent of lung cancer is attributable to smoking? 90%! 9/10 lung cancer deaths are attributable to smoking. Compare this to ~5% of cancer related…

Just a small note - lenacapavir has been approved by the FDA since December 2022

Armchair thought that the author never brought up - food with high protein “tasted gross” per author, until starting what they thought provided anti histamine activity. I know that…

I don’t think there’s truly a competitor but opencl is the alternative to shoot for. Otherwise for machine learning purposes amd helps develop ROCm.

I think zigbee is more "resilient" because it piggybacks off all the other zigbee devices via mesh instead of each device talking to the central router.

At the same time I agree with parent that this persons ophthalmologist was a liar and should honestly be reported for that kind of shady behavior. EDIT: also re corneal disease unl…

My unpopular opinion is that Multifocal and extended depth of field IOLs are all attempting to cheat physics unsuccessfully and are a cash grab by ophthalmologists and manufacturer…

This gets into the weeds a little but the reason boils down to money and tradition, and “what is needed” is a shifting goalpost for society. Just thirty years ago you may have neve…
