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

People have been doing this for literally decades. Check out work by Tattonetti

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?

None of these works nearly as well as angioplasty

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 …

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. Boe…

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…

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

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…

> Hypoglycemia becomes symptomatic long before blood sugar is low enough to result in death or serious debilitation and T1D patients know their symptoms well. Often times in an acu…

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 …

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 miss…

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 …

It is not allowed prior to purchase

What even is a developer MacBook? Any applied computer can be used

Interesting he calculates the theoretical maximum for efficiency will be around 260 MPGe

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 c…

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…

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 m…

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 i…

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; w…

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…
