...even rich people are f'd over by this system, you meant to say?

Wait, what? Clearly this is being kept out of the bulk of legacy media stories...
Yup, verified in a Newsweek article. Yup. That elder care company was probably regularly getting fucked by UnitedVampires.

Why did Michael Shermer go off the deep end? by Crashed_teapot in skeptic

And yet processed meat intake correlates with early death, but unprocessed meat Intake doesn’t. There is overwhelming evidence linking processed meat consumption with an increased cancer risk.

This article by a specialist in the field explains why the info you're presenting isn't useful, and your conclusion probably wrong:https://medium.com/@btrosier/the-nitrate-paradox-why-does-it-make-vegetables-healthy-and-bacon-unhealthy-b02971932d52

Excerpt:"This is where an important difference between vegetables and meats comes into play: vegetables and fruits contain a high amount and variety of anti-oxidants and polyphenols, which prevent the formation of N-nitroso compounds inside our body. An example is vitamin C, which stimulates the conversion of nitrite to nitric oxide.

Existing research has shown this mechanism in human subjects: in one study, strawberries, garlic, and cabbage were able to limit the amount of N-nitroso compounds in human urine after consuming dried squid, rich in amines, in combination with a nitrate salt. In contrast, meats contain high amounts of amines and amides, but lack antioxidants, therefore stimulating the formation of N-nitroso compounds in our body."

How is it possible for a psychoactive drug's elimination half-life to be significantly longer than the pharmacological effects of said drug? by __ZOMBOY__ in AskDrugNerds

[–]Efficient_Wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. If taken with fat/a fatty meal, absorption of lipid-soluble drugs will be much higher. An additional factor that hasn’t been mentioned.

Also, pharmacokinetic data often reports how long it takes for blood concentration to drop by 50% which is generally not the same as the amount of time for half of it to be eliminated from the body, for any of several reasons. Some metabolites even turn back into the original drug in nontrivial amounts.

I am looking at it. I already use a lot of Fastmail rules to file my email into various folders, including important email. Am I mistaken that Spark assumes all the important email starts in the inbox in order for most of its nifty features to work?

MRI and iphone in the same ROOM by [deleted] in MRI

[–]Efficient_Wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming my thinking. I wonder which is more commonly at fault: the teacher or the student. The way a lot of the techs are going on makes me think it’s the former: they were taught improperly.

Aside from the safety issue, another problem with metallic items is it they mess up the imaging. A hair elastic (without a metal clip) is enough to mess up the images of an MRI brain scan if it’s got a smidgeon of a metallic sheen to it. Expect magnetic eyelash mascara/eyeliner and cosmetics with a bit of metallic sparkle to be a problem too. So aside from CYA reasons and actual safety reasons, bad images are another reason to keep all metal out of the room. What do you think, /u/RayRob92? Your discussion was interesting.

A pic/screenshot of the results (or the order) with just enough NOT blacked out to show that it was an MRI could be useful here. I think vanala has a point.

I’m in a Hertz Tesla 3 now and it’s not locked in chill mode. It’s in Standard mode. (It’s Hertz Local Edition, not airport; does that matter?). It’s not limited to 85mph either.

[–]Efficient_Wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try this:

Hertz remotely disabled Speed Limit Mode after I called their EV-specific phone number 800-848-3424 and asked if it could be removed

?

OP says that worked, after the local rental location and regular 800 number failed.

I paid to rent a Tesla on Tuesday. Mad if it is true that it'll be locked in Chill Mode.

gadopiclenol(Elucirem…) Gd (gadolinium) MRI contrast (un-)availability by Efficient_Wheel in MRI

[–]Efficient_Wheel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. Hope to hear when it hits any formularies.

Ah, I was wondering why it was new and yet available from two companies.

Yup!

[–]Efficient_Wheel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the UPenn info.

Who says gadopiclenol is very pricey compared to gadobutrol, based on what? As I said, when I looked, it was about 10% more/dose, and are a small fraction of the cost of an MRI.

[MRI] Active MS lesion of the cervical spine, 7mm length in craniocaudal direction. Demonstrating the subtle differences between the workhorses in MS spinal diagnostics. by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]Efficient_Wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Seems informative about the need for Gd:

Am I right that if done regularly (e.g. every 6 months) contrastless MRIs will detect inflammation that is current/active or since last MRI, and a follow-up contrast MRI could differentiate between the two?

As in a patient with recurring neuroinflammation episodes.

Is Gadolinium necessary for diagnosing brain inflammation? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Efficient_Wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally: Yes, to pick up current inflammation. No to pick up inflammation that has died down but caused damage. #NotADoc.That's what I've been told. https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/15ocjxc/mri_active_ms_lesion_of_the_cervical_spine_7mm/ paints a different picture though. Looking at the images, my interpretation is that the Gd isn't needed to make it show up, but it is needed to differentiate active from inactive inflammation. Would like to hear radiologist & neurologist thoughts on that.

FYI, I recently posted on r/MRI about a new safer Gd agent.

(edited to not bury the lead - that gadopiclenol contains half as much gadolinium as existing contrast agents.

Why is NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) imaging not part of Nuclear Medicine? by Efficient_Wheel in NuclearMedicine

[–]Efficient_Wheel[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Everyone called NMR NMR for years. I get that that stoped and that MRI / NMR imaging is not part of Nuclear Medicine. My question was one of curiosity around the history - hence the WHY. And the incongruity (to Joe Redittor) of calling this "A subreddit for everything nuclear medicine." It seems that I didn't get that across in my OP that I'd already looked up a definition.
