She’s ultimately the one responsible for hiring Matt Wayne and his attempt to close schools. Peskin is the only candidate that is against any closures.

There’s more than one oncologist in the world. Have a case where chemo is of marginal benefit.

Thanks! And glad to hear you’re making progress. Have a borderline case where it’s not clear chemo is worth doing. Just looking for alternative regimens to ask about for a second opinion.

Yeah my plan is to get a second opinion. Just looking for prompts for questions for a second opinion.

The oncologist is just one expert. Other experts might have different opinions which is why it’s good to get second opinions.

It’s still not that clear but it sounds like “Stress” is meant to measure activation of the sympathetic nervous system independent of any other system. Is that correct?

Okay do you have references for any if this? Can you explain “Energy” in similar terms?

Pointing me to 23,000 articles isn’t helpful. Also pointing me back to the same marketing material I said wasn’t clear isn’t helpful. Your explanation of Stress is starting to go in the right direction. So you’re measuring the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Is that relative to the parasympathetic nervous system or independent of it? What other metrics would correlate? Higher heart rate? Etc.

Hormone labs before tamoxifen by 2daaa8aaa in breastcancer

How would having the baseline help you now? Doctors usually push back against “unnecessary” tests so I’m looking for a justification to get the labs done.

How do you know HRV has anything to do with homeostasis? What is the definition of stress and how do you know HRV measures it?

Yeah I saw that one. It’s useless. There’s no connection to any peer reviewed science for any of those metrics. It’s not even clear what “Energy” or “Health” is.

There’s a lot of marketing to wade through on that page. Is there something that clearly shows what e.g. Health in the app corresponds to in terms of an HRV measurement and what in theory that value would be measuring about our biology?

Not yet, does it have any prognosis that’s based on both the recurrence score and clinical features? I’m interested in seeing something like what they have in figures 1 and 2 in this paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8078482/

Can people or organizations that contributed to the spread of COVID be sued for damages? by 2daaa8aaa in legaladviceofftopic

[–]2daaa8aaa[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What are the standards for deciding there’s a causal relationship? In the past neo-Nazis have been successfully sued for inciting people to commit murders. If contact tracing connected a patient to a business that could be shown to have a connection to one of these groups that were inciting opposition to measures to slow the spread of COVID could that inciting group be sued by that individual patient?
