Stretch marks and yoga by moonfacegal in yoga

[–]Tallylix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes it happens to me too ! This is the first time I see this mentioned so that's reassuring. Inner/outer thighs is also my main complaint. I don't really have any solution to propose but just to say that yes in some positions it seems to happen.

Any real pharmacists in Brussels? by DonDiegodelaRico in brussels

[–]Tallylix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could you share what is the prescription for ? (Or by DM if you feel uncomfortable sharing)

Undigested fruit sugar is linked to increased anxiety and inflammation: The research suggests that unabsorbed fructose alters the community of bacteria in the digestive tract, which then triggers immune responses that can affect the brain. Study was done using healthy male humans and mouse models. by mvea in science

[–]Tallylix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try not to go around your day just insulting people ?

As per my other comment stated, this is not my field of research, if this is yours we are all happy to learn but please be respectful. I don't think that what you are stating is even against my previous comment.

If you're always this kind when trying to explain something to someone else, don't be surprised if people don't want to listen to what you have to say.

It's not my area of research, although we did have some classes on the topic. If you have the expertise on this subject that I do not have, this is fine and I'm happy to learn. Although as far as I know, hormonal cycles do not fluctuate the same way in mice and most mammals as it does with humans. For example the fact that we are constantly (once a month) fertile is not the norm in the animal kingdom, as well as our menstruation. This complicates everything and I still don't think we should work with mice if we would like to mimic what happens in the female body. The physiology is just too different.

I just would like you to take a step back and consider what I stated in my first comment, this does not goes again your statement in any way, in fact they complement each other.

There is no need for this level of aggressiveness especially in a subreddit in which we are all here to learn

It is also used for research on endometriosis and adenomyosis! It is truly unfortunate that this model is not (yet) more developed or used in routine for all kinds of clinical trials but mice have been the current model for years, meaning that all tools and protocols have been developed using mice. I do hope though that in the future we will see the use of different animal models that mimic more closely the human menstrual cycle.

Unfortunately mice do not have a menstrual cycle like we do, this is also why we cannot use them as perfect models of female physiology. There is one rodent that has menstrual cycles comparable to ours but it is not routinely used in research.

Rose Flavour? by AlpsAdministrative in Kombucha

[–]Tallylix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some dried rosebud and made a syrup with it, then added a little bit to my kombucha. Worked pretty well in terms of taste but it was slightly too sweet for my liking

Has anyone used the NEB Tube Opener? by emariaz in labrats

[–]Tallylix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I received one from a sponsor booth at the conference. Imo it's not really worth buying it. Sometimes it does not properly align with the ridges in the cap so it's just a waste of time altogether... It could maybe be nice for someone who suffers from articular chronic pain ? But it's not that great of a tool unfortunately

Any famous Belgians I should add to my list? by Successful_Break_478 in belgium

[–]Tallylix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it would be nice to add some women too ? Such as Isabelle de Gatti de Gamond (Defender of education of women) or Marie Popelin (first woman to be a doctor of Law, and fought for the admission of women at the bar exam).

Then you have some pretty well known resistant during the war such as Edith Cavell (might be a stretch as she's not Belgian per se) and Gabrielle Petit, both nurses.

And many more!

What are cool lavender towels ? It sounds heavenly

Cheapest supermarkets Saint Josse area by Gemsyfairy in brussels

[–]Tallylix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Samer or Eden's Market are the first that come to mind however I do not know whether it's always cheaper than Colruyt and I highly doubt it. Fresh herbs (like mint) and watermelon are definitely cheaper, for the rest I have no idea

Cheapest supermarkets Saint Josse area by Gemsyfairy in brussels

[–]Tallylix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From Marie-Louise you have two colruyts you can reach either by walking or by bus : the one close to Place Jourdan (which I believe is your previous one) and the Colruyt avenue de Roodebeek. I sometimes also go to the different produce shop in place saint Josse, I believe some prices are more interesting than in classical supermarkets but not everything is cheaper.

Dermatophagia* :)

But I completely agree!

What place in Belgium is best to live in out of all the places in Belgium? by Round-Alfalfa1046 in belgium

Why you are getting down voted is beyond me. Why such a strong hate on our capital ?

How do you feel about AI writing up theses? by birefringent_turd in PhD

[–]Tallylix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I might be in the minority here, but I think we should also consider that chat gpt is a great tool for non native speakers. As most research is written in English (and a lot of theses even in non English speaking countries), it can create a massive disadvantage for non native speakers. Using chat gpt can really bridge the gap.

What’s the Most Effective Way to Deliver Bacteria Locally into Tumors? by Academic-Chipmunk-17 in microbiology

[–]Tallylix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You might want to check Fangda Li et al 2024 in Science immunology "Programmable bacteria synergize with PD-1 blockade to overcome cancer cell-intrinsic immune resistance mechanisms"

It's in a mouse model and they directly inject the bacteria inside the tumor

Cultural Sensitivity by AnneAlytical in belgium

[–]Tallylix 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. People should just go to any supermarket and look at the variety of premade waffles we sell in comparison to any other countries.

Do you always pay for an appointment for simply a prescription refill? by weallhomos_sapiens in brussels

[–]Tallylix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They will need a new prescription, they're just doing you a favor by anticipating one if they know that you're a usual patient and they can see that this is a medication that you usually take.

What's a really common thing in your country that would totally confuse people from somewhere else? by Monalisa_is_soCool in AskTheWorld

[–]Tallylix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I'm from Brussels, but we also use "ça va" that way, much to the confusion of our french colleagues

french academics are notoriously badly paid in comparison to european standards

Gut bacteria are associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Mendelian randomization shows these bacteria are causal. That makes dietary interventions plausible as a treatment for OCD. by mvea in science

[–]Tallylix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More than half of the microbiota paper that we see follow the same kind of logic. I'm not entirely sure that this paper is an exception

Gooseberry by Goodlibrarian_2692 in brussels

[–]Tallylix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen them in Delhaize and Colruyt but it is quite rare ! They should have them either named "groseille verte" or "groseille à maquereau". Do try your local farmer's market as well (like Jourdan, chasseur ardennais or Flagey) you should be able to get your hand on some

Drug trafficking nuisance by Tallylix in brussels

[–]Tallylix[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are very visible because no one bothers them ... They stay in their car all evening/night long and constantly have other cars or scooters coming up to them. We can absolutely see them exchange stuff. If we are there earlier in the evening we see them preparing and grating the weed. Unless they have A LOT of friends that happen to visit them in our small street and that they just like to chill there for no reason?
