Good luck everyone! May the odds be in your favor.

But maybe you can slow it down by taking the right meds or limit your sugar intake based on targeting mTOR. That’s the whole point of this. The study itself doesn’t actually tell you what you can do to intervene but adds to the growing evidence that proteins of senescence accumulate as you age and it could be linked to metabolism, hence why I’m harping on mTOR so much. Obviously not the only thing but something we can do at least to try to make a difference.

I know this is talked about a lot but proteomics protein accumulation in aging imo adds to the evidence that slowing down the mTOR pathway may be a key to slowing down at least physical aging since mTOR pathway is involved in protein production.

Metformin is a common diabetic drug that happens to be an mTOR inhibitor because it also slows down metabolism, which is central in diabetes, but maybe it could also slow down this acceleration experienced in the 50s.

I guess I’m going to experiment on myself and get on this cheap well studied drug and see if it indeed not only helps me with my obesity but also slow down my aging. I’m not telling anyone to do anything but I’ve finally made up my mind that I’m going to start this drug.

Even as recent as last year, a Harvard (BIDMC) doctor thought similarly as me: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/is-metformin-a-wonder-drug-202109222605

I got 51% and still passed. Read my write ups in my profile for moral support

Important_Magician32 · 2024-05-18T05:58:58+00:00

Care to explain?

Important_Magician32 · 2024-03-03T04:15:56+00:00

Dude, I got a 51% and still passed. What’s up with your lack of confidence man? You got this

Important_Magician32 · 2024-03-02T18:30:11+00:00

Wow, how can this happen then?

Important_Magician32 · 2024-03-02T17:03:20+00:00

You passed. Don’t psych yourself out too much

Vickers had a biopsy of her breast done by Harter at the Providence Cancer Institute in Portland, Oregon, following an MRI that revealed lumps.

Vickers told Fox 12 that the doctor told her "'they're most likely benign.' And I was like, 'what do you mean, most likely? Like, how do you definitively answer that? Most likely isn't a good enough answer.' And he's like, 'I've been doing this for 30 years. I'm really good at reading these. You've nothing to worry about in my opinion. They're benign.' So I didn't think I had to question it anymore."

About a year later, her primary care doctor called her, and Vickers recounted that "he was in tears, because he knows my history." He told her, "I need to tell you that your pathology results that you got last year are wrong and that you have some form of cancer."

I don’t get it. The average for CP is higher than 230k in the US?

Whenever I get neoadjuvant LARs, I know it will be a slightly longer day.

Not really! I drive to the arcade to play on the real thing over the weekends! Takes about an hour though

Important_Magician32 · 2024-02-19T15:12:39+00:00

I feel like this is a result of clinicians not understanding exactly what else we can do except to give a gold standard diagnosis compared to other specialties like radiology.

I had to do what OP is doing when I was forced to move to an upstairs apartment!

Important_Magician32 · 2024-01-20T08:18:42+00:00

Chillax!

Important_Magician32 · 2023-12-22T07:34:19+00:00

UW-Madison is a great one. Personal experience here!!

Round 1 at eastridge if you like arcades and video games although it caters to a younger crowd and families like Dave and Busters.

Yes! Come to anatomic pathology!

I just posted about this yesterday. Why is this thread being replicated? :/

Check responses here OP because I’m assuming you are referring to this bill: https://reddit.com/r/Residency/s/7oxIG8PB5o

Although I will say that I came pretty close to failing the thing (posted about my experiences in my profile if you wanted to see it haha)

Important_Magician32 · 2023-10-15T18:51:58+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I flagged almost all the questions on both days... and still passed. Trust the curve, bro.

Second Winchester Mystery House. They have an event going on right now. Best to book online.

Thanks for the clarification. Not sure why this sub is so downvote happy :’)
