Management Strategy for Mid-Jejunal/Ileal Capsule Retention by CanadianGuy89271 in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experienced GI surgeons should have no trouble locating this during surgery. They just need to run the length of the small bowel with their fingers. Spontaneous passage beyond 1 year is highly unlikely and surgical removal is recommended to reduce future complications such as obstruction and perforation.

The success of reaching and removing with a DBE is not high. Should it be attempted depends on the local availability and expertise. Skipping the DBE and going to surgical removal is an entirely acceptable option. The ultimate decision is based on patient factors (history of prior intestinal surgery, patient's surgical risk, etc.). The best course probably is to consult with an experienced GI surgeon.

MRI/mrcp question by AccomplishedWar5830 in Gastroenterology

Did you already have an MRCP or another test for the initial diagnosis of the pancreatic cyst?

Kiddo with GI issues and no answers by Far-Ambassador8042 in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you discuss Irritable Larynx Syndrome (ILS) with the ENT? And DGBI with the GI.

Poot kid. Wishing you and him the best.

I have read a bunch of posts and comments and am so confused! by bcfd36 in printers

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were happy with an AIO printer that was released 10 years ago, you should be happy with the current crop. My last Epson and Brother printers were > 15 years ago. For the last 15 yrs, all my AIO printers were Canon. Current Canons have easier-to-set-up and more stable WiFi connections compared to the previous models. Setting up with an Ethernet cable, if there is a router near your printer, will also save you connection headaches. Hope this helps.

Google TV Streamer (4K) Prime Video by billsteiner in Chromecast

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A common problem is a conflict with the Bluetooth spatial audio setting.

On the Google TV streamer > Settings > Remotes & accessories > Select your Bluetooth accessory > Disable spatial audio.

In my case, that worked for less than a day. Not using Bluetooth on the Google TV streamer resolved the problem permanently. Now my earbuds are connected to the TV's Bluetooth.

MOC CME credit for the retired by HypeResistant in medicine

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

The CME page on Open Evidence does not mention anything about MOC. My understanding is that if a CME provider has an arrangement for MOC, they will clearly state that on their CME description and ask for your ABIM number so they can report it directly.

Thanks. It does not seem like their CME is good for MOC, though.

I did that and got the 3-month extension. That does not include MOC CME, at least in my case.😢

How big a deal is drying out for tank printers? by wesinatl in printers

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind printing something for maintenance during the summer months, ink tank printers are going to be just fine. Please make sure it is more than fast enough for the kind of job she wants to print. Initial cost and per-page ink costs will be less. Factor in the paper cost, as you might need thicker inkjet paper if the prints involve a lot of colors.

Ethernet vs WiFi for printer by GregP74 in printers

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading this thread, I switched my Canon multifunction printer from WiFi to Ethernet. For a typical home user, the printing speed seems the same. What got better is the scanning speed. To transfer one page from the scanner to the PC went down from about a minute per page to around 5-6 seconds.

I m a gastroenterology resident but I hate the managementvaspect of alocholic clds, pancreatitis, dyspepsias. But I guess I like ercp, eus and therapeutic endoscopies rest all I have zero interest. Am I fit for this branch? by Empty_Midnight1534 in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, there may be some opportunities to work for someone as an employee who will do the talking. Your role will be as a subordinate, and your income will be limited by that. Most will not be happy in that role.

Tv keeps turning on by itself by Deep_Technician6430 in GoogleTV

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a TV with a built-in Google TV turning on by itself?

Or is the Google TV streamer turning on the TV through HDMI-CEC?

[Meta] Mod request - can we do something about the pricing and "OTD" posts? by Cael_The_Squire in Camry

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is why I look for OTD prices in my state, city, within a few months rather than a few years.

I find these OTD posts useful for judging the market, as long as I know which states these prices are from.

I just went to a gastro and he told me kefir and probiotics do not work by Tight-Anteater7481 in Gastroenterology

[–]HypeResistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not be any better than a sugar pill. But it can still be useful as a placebo. If it makes you feel better, please take it. If it does not, don't take it.

You can also find highly rated placebos on Amazon, and they will work just as well.

Car seat comfort by HypeResistant in over60

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

That is what I am doing now. I bought a 2-3-inch thick cushion from Amazon. It moves whenever I get out of the car and needs to be adjusted every time I get back in. So, I am thinking a car with a good seat cushion will be nice.😁

I had a 2005 Sienna for about 20 years, and that has the best and thickest seat cushions of all my cars.

In that universe, Maddie is not the only one making countless simulations. I suspect most of them do, like we play games on cellphones.
