@bryan_johnson How do we disentangle whether the dementia risk reduction is due to pleiotropic effects of statins or simply from ApoB lowering? Would be valuable to compare outcomes with non-statin ApoB-lowering therapies like ezetimibe or PCSK9 inhibitors.
Keep in mind Flu A LFTs are far less sensitive than SARS-CoV-2 LFTs—about half. A negative Flu A test doesn’t rule out infection. Flu A viral load peaks fast & declines quickly, making pre-symptomatic & late testing unreliable. SARS-CoV-2 has higher, longer viral loads & more pre-symptomatic shedding.
@DrEricDing Waiting 2 months seems too long—why wait? Surely the current administration can take action now, given that this issue has been intensifying over the past ~8 months. What specific steps can and should be taken right away?
Just adding that not all humidifiers are the same.
In Colorado, for example, we found that ultrasonic humidifiers can indeed lead to poor air quality, leaving a fine white dust of calcium deposits on surfaces due to tap water minerals.
But, evaporative and steam humidifiers avoid this issue by trapping the minerals as residue within the humidifier.
Is there evidence showing a difference in clinical outcomes for patients with high Lp(a) who achieve therapeutically reduced ApoB/LDL-c levels compared to those without intervention? In other words, are there any studies that specifically show Lp(a) risk can be offset by reducing total atherogenic burden while Lp(a) levels remain high?
@Casey Amazing how many install iStatMenus first thing. Even more amazing macOS still does not natively have an option to show bandwidth/cpu in the taskbar
@CFE_Contigo , @CFEmx estamos sin luz en San José del Cabo, nunca hubo lluvias ni vientos,cuando se restablecerá el servicio o qué es la situación? Gracias
@DrEricDing@ddiamond Dr. Ding: Any opinion on repurposing ACAM2000 to bridge the gap? Are you generally satisfied with the current administration's approach?
@DrEricDing Dr. Ding - Agree. Do you feel the current administration is acting with appropriate haste and urgency in response to Monkeypox? To my uneducated eye, the numbers appear grim.
No wonder best Japanese restaurants stopped allowing reservations from westerners.
6x increase in tourism to Japan right around the time @chuckeats, @LifeWorthEating, @bonjwing blogs were in full effect.
Precipitous drop since they hung it up. Coincidence? I think not.
@DrEricDing Surprising there is no special expedited track to safely test & deploy minor modifications to the mRNA to stay ahead. Seems odd we can go from no vaccine to distributing multiple working vaccines in < 1 yr, but can't "tweak the recipe" in > 1 yr.
@DrEricDing Dr Ding - Q: Given the multiple overlapping amino acid changes between alpha,gamma,delta and omicron.. can one assume that a multivalent targeted mRNA vaccine would offer better immunity? Trying to understand why after 2 yrs we are still vaccinating against ref strain
@MonicaGandhi9@eladgil You mentioned the 3 vs. 4 wk. gap between BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 doses 1+2, but not the 30 mcg vs 100 mcg doses. Given the similarity in vaccines, is that less significant than delay between dosing, wrt waning antibody immunity?
