Are you a Psychiatrist? I am doing Graduate Entry Medical training later in life, and because of my age the Tutor says Im better to go into GP or Psychiatry. But I still want to be a ‘proper Doctor’ lol

As we know, there is a lot of ridiculous pseudoscience out there. That 1971 paper seems to reference a downregulation of sensitivity, (which happens in many body systems), but notes that glucose tolerance tests are still similar. Type II diabetes is Genetic, (the genetic penetrance much more so than in Type I) Unfortunately diet modification can only help with Type II for so long. Conversely, all those people who are told that ‘sweet food will give them diabetes’, not the case if they dont have the type II gene.

People dont always calculate their total protein intake correctly, because things like wheat (12% protein) and rice and potatoes (3%) have protein although thought of as carbs. Studies say 50g of protein per day is ok, but some people say more is better, particularly if trying to build muscle mass etc

Can you tell me how to follow people on Lemmy. It doesnt seem possible? Your posts are interesting, so I want to follow you for example, so I see your other posts

I just signed up for @surg@dubvee.org Is hackertalks your own private instance? Is it difficult to set up own instance?

Is hackertalks a Lemmy or Mastodon instance? Im new to Fediverse so not sure which one is best!

Is this referring to the clinical trial into a new Alzheimer’s drug, Donanemab? (Kisunla brand name)

Good try, PDA is 1 in 2000 but VSD even more common. Both are failures to ‘finish patching up’ as you put it. Good analogy!

Both Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) involve structures in the heart that fail to close as they should. However, they differ in terms of location and function: Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA): This is a blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta in a fetus. It normally closes shortly after birth. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): This involves a hole in the septum, the wall that divides the left and right ventricles of the heart. Normally, this wall is completely closed.

Is Polish your first language? Because your written English is perfect, your writing is like that of a (well educated) native!

Thats very interesting, I dont know much about these medications. Which country are you in? Also what is ‘fringe left’? I never heard this phrase, where does it come from?

Akylosing Spondylitis. Im trying to follow those that replied to this thread. Seems a basic function but I cant see a follow button on Lemmy! can anyone tell me how to follow others?

Sorry to hear you have first hand experience, was any treatment effective? The point of posting was a test, to see if some medical education can be done over fediverse. Still exploring what these sites can do

Similar aim to use fediverse as teaching platform
