1930 all over again.

There’s an important caveat to keep in mind when it comes to food databases, especially those relying on branded or restaurant items: U.S. law does not require food manufacturers t…

What? The AMA is not what it was. What are you, a PGY3?

It’s easy to paint with broad strokes, but sweeping generalizations rarely capture the full picture. Not all of us “gatekeep” or overprescribe, we follow evidence-based guidelines …

Just force price transparency. Force drug makers to advertise the selling prices of their drugs, and enforce price discrimination laws. Force insurance and PBM companies to adverti…

Profits over patients. Pharmacies have to have crazy high prices though because PBMs reimburse at such shit rates, based on some percentage of the price given to them. Because if t…

The blinding? Functionally useless UNLESS the researchers genuinely believe subjects couldn't tell whether they were in a psychedelic fugue state or on a placebo. The ketanserin co…

The most egregious limitation is the absurdly small sample size (n=16), which utterly cripples its statistical power. The authors throw around p-values without any serious correcti…

FQ toxicity is likey caused by SNP in a specific gene related to pharmaceutical metabolism (one of the CYP450s). I believe this was published in the literature. Another possibility…

Similarly rare is the "traditional" EDS phenotype with stretchy skin and hypermobile joints. Usually seeing them for shoulder dislocations or other orthopedic injuries. By far the …

Possibly. Another thing that could be is that I damaged the cable (somehow) when disconnecting it. Or, the Realtek TOSLINK has some design/implementation flaws. Another possibility…

Good idea. I checked it out and nothing stands out.

Just an update: I switched out the 'TOSLINK' over to a standard coax and the sound is much better - not on par with the Recon 3D card, but it's an improvement. I am using some Logi…
