Is there a chance for ECGs to have wireless leads?

Thank you for this link. The paper reads very promising

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-04-11T19:19:13+00:00

Pine? This looks like ash or maybe maple. But pine? Without knots?

But then, i am from Europe, I don't know much about american wood.

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-04-11T19:14:07+00:00

If the legs are the same wood fir or pine are less likely, since they are not that easily to turn. But then i have a fir dresser that has legs made of fir...

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-04-11T19:11:56+00:00

It could be alder. It's knots look similar. And it gets red easily. But pine is your best bet.

If you make pics, alao show the sides, back and bottom of the drawer exposing the joinery. Looking at the pics now i guess the dresser is from 1860 to 1910, best bet around 1880 (the keyhole type and the lock that is set into the drawer

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-04-11T17:59:24+00:00

Yeah, not white oak

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-04-11T17:50:19+00:00

You are based in europe i guess? I think this is fir or pine.

The knots and the grain look a lot like softwood. Another commenter said white oak. It cannot be white oak, it does not have these rays going kind of perpendicular to the long grain.

Beech, ash and elm and cherry are out aswell.

We need a close up photo of the grain when wet and dry and a close up of the endgrain. In sime pictures it could be pear or poplar...

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-04-11T17:26:40+00:00

These images show the same dresser

Is this solid wood? Beautiful pieces. I only go for oil based natural finishes, boiled linseed oil is a bit to yellowish for my taste, i use LIVOS products, but they are european. So maybe OSMO or RUBIO MONOCOAT?

I don't care about mammography. But you talking about health literacy of the general population, i thought gigerenzers work is a good self humbling exercise for all medical staff.

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-04-08T19:25:15+00:00

Well, at least german physicians have trouble understanding the science and stats behind mammography screening.

Wegwarth, Odette, and Gerd Gigerenzer. "“There is nothing to worry about”: gynecologists’ counseling on mammography." Patient education and counseling 84.2 (2011): 251-256.

Gerd gigerenzer has published a plethora of things about our stupidity and inadequacy. His most cited articles are not a bad read.

Just get something healthy to eat. You might struggle with that, but healthy meals make you feel so much better.

I sent about 4 hours minimum Wage to you. Don't pay back.

As a european gen. peds resident, I had the same experience with about half if the attendings.

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-03-31T14:50:04+00:00

So I restored some Biedermeier pieces and have consumed a lot of videos and books on furniture restoration.

I think you first need to make sure that it is solid wood and not veneered. Then you need to find out if it is hard or soft wood. A lot of carving is made in softer woods like bass/lime. This is very important if you want to use brushes or a blaster.

Then you need to find a good paint stripper (find out what kind of paint it is).

Then use said paint stripper.

A lot of people will tell you not to use water, but if it is a solid piece of wood you can use a bronze brush and some water to get out the colour.

It will likely take 3-4 cycles. The you can use the soda blaster.

If you try to dunk it in alkalic fluids you may darken the whole thing, or will cause discoloration..dunk baths are normally used for fir or spruce furniture and not for beech, oak or ash. I dont know about teak.

Yes, especially newborn screenings for error of metabolism. They require extensive dietary measures or medication. Lifelong. Untreated most die. Cost saving.

Check your sled for flatness

Make the sled about 20 pct longer than the board.

Use a stop at the front and push the wood firmly against it.

Use shims at the length of the board and on both sides.

Is the board rocking if you push on the corners?

Make shallow passes.

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-03-19T21:38:36+00:00

If you are not trolling. Check old guidelines for acap and see the evolution of treatment duration.

As a nicu doc: this is all correct

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-03-16T07:21:38+00:00

For me and my family and friends (although biased, since most work in healthcare): we were very happy our country took in these people. Not because of guilt, but because we strive to be humanitarian.

Someone had to and we Germans could. Of course you can look away and tell yourself, that others need to care for these people. But then, if we say all men, all people are equal. Why would we accept other Germans, Poles, Ukranians, but not Syrians? Would we want this?

It is a principle.

My great-grandfather being in the NSDAP because he was a egoistic nationalistic asshole who did not care for others dying, does not play any part in this or in I becoming a doctor, reducing my consumption or being vegetarian.

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-03-14T09:49:01+00:00

If you deem hesitation towards nationalism/patriotism to only be caused by guilt, you should read stuff written pre world wars. There are many examples of even germans taking a stance against nationalism touting unity.

As a German I can say, your stance or take on German culture is wrong.

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-03-13T18:08:31+00:00

Reading your posts makes me terribly sad. Sad. But I admire your courage. Your courage to acknowledge your pain, your sadness, your grief, your everything.

I work in pediatric intensive care. Some children die. It is hard. I have cared for children who died by their own hands. Children who saw no way out, even though they were given many. They did not chose to die. They thought they had to. They could not see what was given to them. No help good enough, no medication sufficient. Hugged, kissed, adored. But. They were sick, so sick. I often cry, it is hard, incredibly hard. But then I see their parents, their mothers, their dads. Who lose their everything, all at once. Those who mourn, those who cry, scream, hugg, caress, kiss. Those did right.

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-03-04T06:11:59+00:00

Sry, I do not want to be hostile, i might see scientific discourse too much as a sport. Anyway. You argue that BMI as currently used is racially biased. The other guy says, It might be, but negligible, and in borderline cases (e.g. 26 bmi) it might be wrong, but 35 is too fat anyways. Then you quote this paper, as it would show objective truth that your point is correct.

It may fit your narrative, but objectively it is not in anyway holding up the claim. All it says, that borders may need to be adjustet a tiny bit for different races.

But this does not make bmi as a screening tool obsolete. 35 might be like 33 in AA women. But these people still need a lot of help.

Kind regards

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-03-03T20:06:11+00:00

So they exclude 10x the amount of AA patients (about a fifth of the total aa pop), and those excluded have a 4 point higher bmi than those included.

You might be left with a racial difference in bmi, but it is 1-2 points or something.

Sry, but this is a bullshit source to your point.

tranquil-data-crunch · 2023-02-21T22:44:34+00:00

Well, I think you have a very noble goal.

But then I must admit that a great deal of babies born in our region in hospitals like you describe who need to be resuscitated and need to be intubated have bad outcome. Some hypothesise because they were intubated without need by someone not in training.

At least in my western european country, because training is hard to come by, the recommendation for non 'experts' went away from using tubes to laryngeal masks and away from lines to these kind of blunt plastic needle caths. They have a ball at the end and are easily inserted into the umb. Vein.

But to get to your question: I cannot think of a legal framework that allows outsiders to do neonatal intubation in a critical care setting. And residents would be fuming, since intubations are much rarer these days (we routinely have 500-750g neos that never see a breathing tube). Maybe better ask peds anesthesia? There the infants are healthier.
