The suppressed report that concluded there is no protective or safe level of alcohol consumption, now published. It was commissioned by US Congress Report jsad.com/doi/10.15288/jsad.2… Editorial jsad.com/doi/epdf/10.15288/j… "Despite the study’s adherence to its mandate, its findings were sidelined.”

Low-dose naltrexone continues to disappoint. Once a 'wonder drug' in all manner of promising treatments. It has failed RCTs/trials for: * fibromyalgia (not just this trial) * kleptomania * pathological gambling * trichotillomania The whole "low dose" mechanism was pretty wooy.

Every family is paying about $30k annually for healthcare they barely use, and that typically comes with a high deductible and out of pocket costs. The median healthcare spend is $500 annually. Now imagine an alternate version. Every American has a tax exempt HSA, but to participate, you must purchase at least a catastrophic insurance plan. If we allowed pre-ACA plans, we are looking at $6000-12000 per year. For the poor, instead of Medicaid or an ACA subsidy, the government just funds their HSA for them. Now every family is putting $15k a year into an HSA. Most people would barely touch that. Maybe use some to pay for a DPC and the occasional lab or prescription. But by retirement, everyone would have $2-5 million saved up. That could pay for all lifetime medical expenses for 95% of Americans. The only people who have to deal with insurance companies are those with catastrophic high cost events (trauma, cancer, etc). The only role government has is as a reinsurance to keep premiums low and help people with pre existing conditions get plans. Or for the truly destitute who burn through their HSA and cannot care for themselves (universal backstop coverage). This would provide truly universal coverage, give money back to patients, simplify healthcare, and make every American richer.

The @OpenAI commercial was literally the world ending. What? Why would this be an ad? Who watching TV would be like, oh AI... Uh.

They raised property taxes again, I hope this means the public schools are going to improve.

A few months back, I published this guide on how to remember everything you read. Re-sharing it here for anyone who finds these protocols useful. (1/11)

I have been saying this forever. SO many people still want to become a doctor. Which means smart people who work hard WANT TO PUT OTHER PEOPLE AHEAD OF THEMSELVES!!! THERE IS HOPE FOR US AS A PEOPLE AND A COUNTRY. If you want to improve healthcare, make more doctors.

i randomly came across med school rankings and i had no idea that acceptance rates were this low (1-2%) even the most competitive law schools are between 5%-10%

Interesting paper on the long term effects of psychotherapies. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Publicado ayer en JAMA Network: nuevo ensayo clínico aleatorizado sobre psilocibina en Trastorno Depresivo Mayor. Aunque con muestra pequeña (N=35), los hallazgos son consistentes con estudios previos: una sola dosis de psilocibina (25 mg) mostró un efecto antidepresivo rápido y clínicamente significativo, observable desde los primeros días y sostenido durante varias semanas.

A single dose of #psilocybin was associated with rapid reduction in depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder, with effects persisting beyond 3 months on secondary measures. ja.ma/4uhzmol

Psikiyatrik hastalıkların tedavisinde kullanılan ilaçlar, genel tıpta kullanılan ilaçlarla benzer düzeyde etkili📌 Tabloda psikiyatrik ilaçlar ve diğer ilaçlara ait NNT (number needed to treat- tedavi için gerekli sayı) değerleri yer alıyor. Bu bağlamda örneğin; depresyonda antidepresan ilaçlar, hipertansiyon tedavisindeki ilaçlara kıyasla çok daha başarılı görünüyor. Not: NNT değeri ne kadar düşükse o kadar etkili olduğu anlamına geliyor.
