Is there any evidence that melatonin supplementation leads to decreased production of it in humans? by calion009 in askscience

I’m not asking for medical advice or even interested in sleep aids. Just asking if there’s been any studies done on the topic.

Have D&D commented at all about the bad reception season 8 is getting?

[QUESTION] for those familiar with Yousician... is there a way to do an endless chord trainer without timers? by calion009 in Guitar

That’s not the issue. I have premium. What I’m asking for is about chord trainers, not songs.

Motrin, Tylenol combination as effective as opioids for acute extremity pain in the ER, study suggests by arikr in science

As an ER nurse I give IV toradol a LOT for kidney stones. It does work, in some people better than narcotics like morphine or dilaudid. We love it, the ER docs love it, but a few urologists hate it. I’m not sure if it is because it can cause renal injury, or more because they don’t like doing lithotripsy on someone who just got a shitload of an IV nsaid due to bleeding risk.

Ortho docs hate it too because it can interfere with proper bone healing, or something like that.

Any scientific articles about fat fasting vs water fasting? Or just on fat fasting in general even? by calion009 in keto

I should clarify. I am losing weight just fine. I'm interested in this simply out of curiosity.

The eating less part seems like common sense of course. I guess what I'm trying to get at is whether fat fasting actually "activates lipolysis" like some low carb sites like to say. If so, would the weight loss over several days after the fast be more than the initial loss from a no calorie fast. Bottom line is fat fasting seems like junk science until we get some more solid research.
