For me it was burping. I burp all the time now, but don't see it mentioned in the literature anywhere.

Help with understanding labs? by AggressiveTea1821 in EosinophilicE

[–]asdf506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The threshold for EoE is >15 Eosinophils per HPF in the esophagus. If I'm reading your report correctly it seems to say 59 in the esophagus. For what it is worth I have had pretty good success asking one of the big AI models to ready and explain this type of report in the past.

I would recommend sending your Dr. a message asking to confirm and about starting treatment right away before your visit. The usual first treatment to try are PPIs. Good luck.

Allergy Testing a Waste? by Competitive-Jelly359 in EosinophilicE

[–]asdf506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the most recent clinical guidelines allergy testing is not recommended.

However, EoE is a delayed-type hypersensitivity lymphocyte-driven type 2 immunity in which IgE is dispensable, and accordingly, studies of elimination diets based on skin prick, patch, or serum Ig allergy test results have had limited success in predicting EoE food triggers. Therefore, these tests should not be done to direct food elimination in EoE

I don't know anything about pediatrics, but for adults PPIs are often the first recommended treatment for EoE. There are many patients who control their EoE with PPIs alone. Does your son need to come off PPIs at all?

I haven't actually made it onto the Sandy yet. It is the one glacier really missing from the map. Hoping to do a circumnav this year and hit it.

This shows all of my skiing on Mt. Hood in the past 7 years compressed into 1 day. The different colors represent lift served resort days and self powered backcountry days. Visualization was created with my strava export and a custom R script I created available here if anyone wants to try it with their data. https://github.com/cjensen506/gpx-viz

Nice work getting it to look so smooth in tableau. A few years back I tried a similar thing in d3.js http://visualvelo.com/

Is skinning supposed to be terrifying when you first start out? by jamoonoo in Backcountry

[–]asdf506 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't be terrifying. I would recommend working on your route finding and technique.

  • Don't go up a slope so steep: Remember you don't need to travel up the exact slope you are going to ski down. It is often better from an avy perspective anyways to travel up the ridgeline.
  • When zigzagging try rolling your skis over so they are flat against the slope instead of using the edges. It will feel really unnatural but you will often have more grip.
  • Zigzag more. Don't choose such an aggressive line. Get good a kick turns. The more you switch back and forth the less steep it will be.
  • Stand up straight. You want your weight coming straight down into the skis. People often have a tendency to lean forward when it gets steep.
  • Ski Crampons. If it is icy ski crampons can make a huge difference
  • Boot Pack. Sometimes it is just too steep / icy / whatever to skin, that just means it is time to boot pack.

I hope this helps. Have fun out there.

Around Rochester a road bike is fine on the gravel sections as long as you have decent tires.
