Interestingly, there was a recent study that indicated for penetrating trauma the patient had a much higher survival rate if they were taken to the ER by private car compared with …

This is not correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triage#Conventional_classifica...

There are a couple reasons why he might do this that I can think of. 1). He didn't know how many people were going to come in or how serious they would be. Triage in MCI does depen…

This is not my understanding of how to triage in MCI. ATLS definitely does teach the importance of deprioritizing people that will be hard or impossible to resuscitate in favor of …

Thanks for the PDF :) If matrix moved toward pond style metadata protection I would make the effort to move my social graph on to it and probably support it financially. As is, I d…

I am excited for the phone but I don't get having matrix as the messaging app. I don't see the value in matrix. Encryption is not on by default, which is unacceptable in a modern m…

I cancelled my model 3 reservation over this. I found it very sleazy this wasn't mentioned in the official reveal.

Do you have a citation for your claims? Specifically that low serotonin levels CAUSE depression in humans?

I also was diagnosed with ADHD and took Ritalin then Adderall for years. I stopped taking them in medical school and actually got better grades. Regardless of my personal experienc…

SSRIs don't have clinically relevant effects. The following study is a review article. It cites most of the meta analysis the are relevant. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

This is an excellent comment and reflects the current state of research. There is good evidence for the efficacy of ketamine in treatment resistant depression. The psychedelics are…

There is no evidence for the chemical imbalance hypothesis. Your friend anecdotal evidence is contradicted by a large body of emprical research. For a good overview of the evidence…

There is no well done study I have heard of that supports your position. In general SSRIs have an effect size that is so low it is not clinically relevant. There are multiple meta …

I am a physician with training in neuroscience. There is no scientific consensus that stimulants help the problems you are talking about. There is some preliminary evidence that st…

You are over stating the case for what stimulants can do in ADHD. They probably do make kids more docile. They do not improve grades over a meaningful time span. They do not improv…

They are almost all placebo response. The real effect is so small it's probably not useful clinically. They also cause suicidal ideation and sexual dysfunction is a large minority …

I am a practicing physician with 2 years of graduate level course work in neuroscience. Point 3 and 4 are wrong. There is no evidence that SSRIs work by fixing a chemical imbalance…

Or an even bigger prize for keeping it secret. If you could break asymmetric encryption at will you could plunder much bigger prizes than Satoshi's coins.

I don't see where in that thread it indicates Rose gave a false impression.

I am not so sure. I don't understand work well but there have been a couple papers saying they can get a quantum speed up on factorizing using adiabatic quantum computers [1]. Furt…

Can they? I am not convinced that most (any?) adults can give informed consent for any of these datamining services.

This is a nice overview. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23512950

I am a physician. The few studies comparing long term antipsychotic use in schizophrenia have found that people do better with low/no medication. They are more functional, have few…

It should be noted that studies looking at normal vs no/reduced antipsychotic therapy in patients with psychotic dieases have indicated that in the long term patients may do signif…

How often do you think a politicians campaign platform represents their actual intentions. You should read about the project for a new american century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…
