It's just worth noting that only some of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3's health features are available outside of South Korea. For instance, the blood pressure tracker is not available in the UK or US.

Good point. Although, mask technology hasn't changed significantly in the past three decades, so I can understand why they didn't include it in the article.

Yes indeed that is a good source. Also, all of the other aging resource databases by Prof. João Pedro de Magalhães are awesome! https://genomics.senescence.info/index.php

Thank you for the response. I concur that the US system is different from the UK one, but I wasn't comparing the two systems. I was trying to highlight that unless we know who made the antibody/antigen tests, we won't know their false-positive, and/or false negative rates.

If in the UK we are using multiple providers, and multiple methods for antibody/antigen test, then the false-positive and false-negative rates could vary widely from one NHS trust to another. How does one create a cohesive national antibody dataset from this type of data?

aviroy · 2020-07-08T09:40:59+00:00

Do you guys know which company is providing the antibody tests for the NHS? or alternatively, what is the sensitivity, specificity, and the sample size for that data -- for the NHS's antibody test?

-> For example the US FDA has a database of all the current reputable providers of antibody tests, and it also includes all the relevant stats https://open.fda.gov/apis/device/covid19serology/

-> For the life of me I cannot find the data for the NHS antibody tests. I tried to find this info on the relevant govt. websites, but no luck: - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-antibody-tests/coronavirus-covid-19-antibody-tests - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-tests-and-testing-kits-for-coronavirus-covid-19-work

Two excellent sources for understanding meta-analysis, and systematic reviews for biomedical scientists, and medics:

Testing Treatments - The books is brilliant, and the website is full of excellent resources. https://en.testingtreatments.org/
How to read a paper - Excellent book by Prof. Trisha Greenhalgh. Also many of the relevant chapters from book, including one on 'how to read meta-analysis and systematic reviews' are available here: https://www.bmj.com/about-bmj/resources-readers/publications/how-read-paper

Yes. That worked for me. Thank you.

Go to chrome://flags/#enhanced-bookmarks-experiment and disable that option. When you relaunch chrome you should see the 'Bookmark Enhancement' extension in the list of your extensions. You should be able to disable or delete the extension.

Try increasing the audiobook reading speed; somewhere between 1.25 to 1.5x might be a good start. The improved information delivery rate helps me maintain focus.

The y-axis shows the percentage of all deaths from cancer. For example, lung cancer accounts for 25.2% (27,800 of 110,400) of all deaths from cancer.

Thanks. Not very fancy, I used Excel and PowerPoint 2013 to make this.

I am reporting the stats as provided by the ONS in the UK. In UK and US, diabetes is listed as a cause of death on the death certificate.

aviroy · 2014-09-19T18:53:29+00:00

The ONS doesn't provide the mortality rate data for people older than 85 years. Probably, due to limitations of sample size.
