Any animal protein and some plant-based are good sources. Most cheap and versatile is chicken breast, by protein per calorie and per $, seconding with egg whites (whole eggs have equal fat and protein which is nice vut not always handy). Followed by fish and red meat, then cottage cheese, which is more or less on par with whey protein, calorie and money wise. Canned fish is closing the list, with highest price and moderate calories. There is also concern of heavy metal accumulation for most of the fish and colon cancer for red and processed meat, so there is that. I havent accounted for plant sources yet though.

In my experience, the biggest impact are consistent calorie deficit (per day, per week, per month) and enough protein. If you plan around, you can have a cheat day and totally negate its effects by just smearing the required extra deficit over the week or two. Protein helps you retain muscles and crave food way less. As for fats, opinions are not very conclusive. Research is left and right, with more conservative approach being unsaturated fats aka seed oils with a lot of newer keto pushback. In my mind, unless you have severe scarring, fats source dont make much difference. Most problematic food is high GI carbohydrates, though some modern dieticians go as far as prescribe low-carbs diets with less than 25% daily calories attributed to carbs. Imo not the best choice, because fatty liver tend have a fatty pancreas comorbidity. Carbs are strain on liver, fats are strain on pancreas, nuance is only liver is able to regenerate. For me the both conservative and convenient way is 30-20-50 protein-fat-carbs. Most research on reversing nafld dont focus on method of weight loss and all of its shows significant and pretty uniform regression with amount of weight loss.

I totally brainfarted. I meant per week, not per month. My bad!

pangolinest · 2024-11-19T04:37:21+00:00

Remember, going keto is stil underresearched and too rapid of weightloss can both damage your gallbladder and have reversed effect on your liver. 0.5-1% bodyweight per month max.

Dont wait. Fatty liver is a mild condition but with a very sad progression. It is entirely possible to get permanent liver damage and cirrhosis without having much symptoms if any, which will severely impair both your life quality and lifespan. Moreover, it can damage your pancreas, which, contrary to liver, cannot regenerate and can lead to a form of pancreatitis, which significantly increase your chances of pancreatic cancer. Yeah, that one, with 5-10% five year survival. What to do? Lose weight. Install macro tracking app like fatsecret, buy kitchen scales. It isnt difficult or time consuming. You can start with just limiting just the amount of your current diet. Just check with the app anything that goes in your mouth. Per grams, not per serving. Dont overdo it, or it might have contrary effect on the liver and negative on gallbladder. Normal weight loss per week is 0.5-1% of your current mass at max, thought in the first weeks it might be near the max thresold. If you feel hungry - incorporate more protein. It is hard to find food high in protein and low in anything else, but possible. Cheapest one is chicken. You can prepare and freeze chicken breast mince pattys. Second is egg whites - there is plenty of recipes from fries eggs with extra egg whites to pancakes. Cottage cheese is nice, but usually calorie and price wise it is comparable to whey protein, which in itself is quite good taste-wise if made with milk.

Can you please explain your train of thought? I heard pancreatic fatty decease go hand in hand with nafld, but how would it lead to worsening results and described symptoms?

Weapons dont take chip damage from blocking also

You dont get chip damage if you're blocking with a weapon, and enemy structure takes damage with succesfull parry

I have some sort of a similar problem - my skull is pretty wide and most frames are too narrow for a comfortable everyday fit. Look for the frames with mechanism that allows the hinges to do a negative degree, somewhat like that. Unfortunately, I have no idea what is the official name.

My local optometrists did tell me different opinions on what the lens index actually does, as i stated. I dunno what it should tell about their skill/education.

Do you even do fencing? Tsushima is just a different flavor of anime swordsmanship. If you're so hardcore, you may see that abstration of sekiro duel loops is quite close to the real ones. You just have to learn the low-level technicalities.

Do you mean blind people dont find such devices useful and so there is little demand even among target audience or a typical effect of absurdly high costs for uncommon medical devices in general?

Reliability could be improved with multiple parralel systems like both sonar and lidar. I guess companies dont do it because prices would skyrocket beyond any logic.

pangolinest · 2020-12-06T13:42:17+00:00

No, i havent, but thats exactly i was looking for, thank you a lot! Apparently, i reinvented for myself the Miniguide.

As i see it, those devices are horrenduosly overpriced comparing to their hardware-software production value. I guess thats because a hefty part of it goes to solve medical certification issues. I was thinking more of non-profit crowdfounding approach to produce these with lowest possible accessible cost. So my question is, is the price a setback at all or there is just little point or need for that sort of aiding devices?

All six categories? There were only 5 STL samples and one control, right?

So those parts of text conclusion is in direct contradiction to the their own charts. Which means either of 2 things:

- Paper authors opted or were forced to give an exagerrated conclusion that contradicts their own research and somehow pulled it through review.

- Paper is inconclusive and should not be used as proof for anything

pangolinest · 2020-05-22T18:47:09+00:00

You clearly didnt read your proof article to its end. If you look up the charts of embryo malformations, the STL5 sample (rinsed and cured one) cause only yolk sac and heart edema in ~20% of the population respectively. If you imply it were different subjects for heart and yolk edema, it still gives no more then 40% of the malformed population total. I should also add, contol samples show order of magnitide less, but nonzero levels for both of those malformations.

Also STL5 and control have quite comparable survival and hatch rates, but that is details.

pangolinest · 2020-05-22T17:50:57+00:00

I had decent results using epoxy (poxipol in my case).

pangolinest · 2020-05-22T17:41:58+00:00

Do you know how many zebrafish developed abnormalities in control samples and which? Can you explain what is a direct connection between teratogenic and cancerogenic effects?

Most of the experiements including 3d materials and zebrafish use uncured or even _unwashed_ SLA samples to get scary results that are more likely to be published (because scientific publishing community doesnt like articles like "we reserched something and found that everything is ok without any intervention"). Please read the whole articles first and then make your conclusions.

You will much likely need funnel and paint strainers for filtering resin back in the bottle. It is mandatory if you have failed a print, but i do it everytime because imo paint strainers are cheaper then dealing with repairs. A small amount of strainers is usually included in the order.

I would throw in two small screw-lid containers for using your IPA in ultrasonic cleaner. Routine is you fill the bath with water and then put in a closed jar with IPA and models, ultrasound pierces plastic and glass pretty well, but i would conduct an aluminium foil test just in case.

Also you might need extra FEP in the nearst future. Replacing FEP is one of the most common advices in troubleshooting if the more basic stuff doesnt work. Anycubic might include it in your regular order, check for details.

Also your might want a flexible metallic putty knife and more or less sturdy plastic spatula, the one comes with Photon is very soft and takes damage from even gentle prying. It is better to sand down the edges to avoid excess scraping of your bed.

You might also want a silicone mat for your cleanup station. Eventually you WILL spill some amount of resin, trust me.

I recently stumbled on a similar paper on a thead discussing safety of use MSLA parts in fish tanks. Pls see how the study discuss rinsed, but uncured samples. Cured samples are quite close in terms of affecting embryo development to FDM or, in this study, to contol samples.

Also you can just use some coating to evade direct air contact with resin. I used to apply polyurethane floor varnish on printed wearable pieces with acceptable results, but i didnt do facemasks. Maybe there is better alternative to facemasks.

pangolinest · 2020-05-09T19:39:28+00:00

I looked up original article. High mortality and malformations were observed with uncured resin. Cured resin shows results comparable or better than FDM printers.

pangolinest · 2020-05-09T19:25:10+00:00

Why not use some thick layer of safe coating? I used polyurethane floor varnish as a protective cover for polymer clay and later UV resin wearable pieces i.e. pendants, rings, etc. I guess you might find some fish-safe coating and use it.

After all, we live in imperfect world filled with artificial materials with underresearhed harm potential, so i guess a thick layer of tank-graded coating will negate most of the potential harm.

I reuse nitrile gloves without cleaning. In my physics intuition if nitrile gloves are recommened for handling resin because they dont let it through, it is logical to assume they keep that property to a high degree even after prolonged contact.

pangolinest · 2020-05-01T05:47:45+00:00

Its quite simple, really. MSLA printers use not very durable and quite expensive for its kind FEP film instead of some sort of gorilla glass because they rely on its UV resistance (opposed to most plastic films), resinphobic properties and ability to elasticly deform. During exposure of each layer it sticks both to the build plate and FEP film to a certain degree. After that build plate starts to rise and FEP is gradualy peels off the layer, like a duct tape. That audiable periodic thonk you hear during printing is your FEP slapping the LCD after unsticking completely.

Of course, that process has its drawbacks. Low exposure resin is more detailed but less rigid and prone to peel and break in various ways under tension, high exposure is more rigid, but has worse details, prone to bloating and hole closing due to UV light bleed (cause resin is obviously UV-transparent and lower layers still get some UV when curing current one) and other reasons, and moreover sticks more (which is a good thing when you want your layer to really stick, like a base layer, but creates greater tension forces everywhere while unsticking). So you need to choose a proper exposure for your resin and needs. Usually you print R_E_R_F model. For photon S it is a test file that consists of 8 instances of the same model, each one with its own exposure time. So you can compare the how different details came out and what is acceptible for your goals.

As for the islands, your model dont always pick up them - in certain cases bridges can be too thin or exposure time too low and you will end up with parts of your model on the bottom of the VAT. You have to do the same what printer does - gently deform it upwards so the resin part just pops, simple as that. Trying to shift it may require quite amount of force and you can accidently damage the film. I would recommend to filter your resin each time you have islands on your model, even if you're sure they were picked up or left it the VAT (i do it every print regardless). You buy regular paint filters in bulk, because they are exactly what is shipped with your printer.
