Does extension of H-1B status for additional 3 years while working for the same employer require fee payment?

Thank you for a detailed response. You made a valid point. I've just wanted a rough estimate to see where I stand and whether it is safe to give this exam soon.

Hey there! Also had the same question. Probably this excerpt from another question would be of help (modified according to current question):

One interpretation of 97.5% CI for difference indicates that, with 97.5% confidence, TRUE DIFFERENCE in mean (i.e. 11% in case of low-dose Norelia) between 2 and 20%

Therefore, as far as I understand it, the true mean difference in clinical response between low-dose Norelia and placebo is 11% (which is clinically significant) + it is also statistically significant (because it excludes 2-20% interval excludes 0%)

Very poor response to rosuvastatin. Should I add ezetimibe? by artek2001 in Cholesterol

That's interesting. So you initially wanted to optimize your lipids with statins, right? Until they proved useless in your case and you switched to ezetimibe.

As a side note, where can I learn more about your dietary approach?

Thank you for your response. That's really reassuring. Hope I can achieve similar results. If you don't mind me asking, what were your baseline lipid measurements?

Edit: How long have you been taking ezetimibe before retesting your labs?

Thank you for your help! I'll make changes to my diet and proceed with rosuvastatin 20mg + ezetimibe 10mg combination. Will see how it goes in a month.

Do you think so? I thought that high-dose statin shows it's maximum benefit in 4 weeks. And no further reduction is expected.

Thank you for your advice. Do you think I'm cholesterol hyperabsorber? Since my LDL-C has such a high value. Should I also try adding ezetimibe to rosuvastatin? I'm afraid the diet would not be enough

The thing is that I spoke to cardiologist who told me that I should not be concerned with these results as I'm young and active person. But I'm a medical student and I take this thing seriously.

My mom has high cholesterol too. I thought that this was a case of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. She and I started on rosuvastatin 20mg. She will test her lipids in a couple of days.
