His French is so simple and yet, incredibly beautiful and elegant, in a way that I am not even able to express in words. Only Voltaire compares. "tout le malheur des hommes vient d…

Great work, really hope you'll be able to pierce into the medical market eventually. Dragon is still useless to anyone who can touch type.

It is rare, and is probably due to a combination of green tea and weight loss. However, the effects are catastrophic, and it worth pointing out before someone decides to use tea ex…

Beware that green tea supplements have been associated with very sever liver damage. Even though most survive, they often require prolonged intensive care, with attending complicat…

Pharma and rich greedy doctors are an easy target, but reality is (always) more complicated. Pyridoxine/doxylamine is nothing new, and was released in the USA in the fifties, and w…

You're assuming that more data will reveal a hidden pattern, but the fact is that most data, and especially most of the easily collectable data is useless junk.

Unlikely. Diagnosis is based on imperfect data with very high noise-to-signal ratio, and with auditory (patient's history), visual and tactile inputs. Treatment often need to be ta…

I'm very interested about your research area. Can you divulge anything publicly here, or maybe shoot me an email (just put in my profile). Thanks.

The quote is from Pascal: "Je n'ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce que je n'ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte", "I made this one [the letter] longer, since I didn't h…

Garbage statistics will not get better if you insist on some arbitrary fragility index threshold (and no accepted threshold of an "acceptable" fragility index does exist to the bes…

There is no point. The fragility index is essentially a repackaged p-value, and serves only to introduce even more confusion on the top of this already often misunderstood metric. …

Probably significant. In this population of very severe patients, mortality was "only" 25% in patients managed without proning. Compare with mortalities around ~50% reported early …

I am not sure I understand the question. The brain "restarts" by itself if its otherwise normal and perfused.

> It is not known whether brain can be brought back at all once all signals stop. This is incorrect. In a brain-dead patient, the isoelectric EEG serves to demonstrate the absence …

An alternative explanation is that of "viral interference"[1,2], i.e., the most transmissible virus boosting up viral immunity in the population, and precluding transmission of the…
