They called it Medicine’s Best Kept Secret — at UCSF today.
You have probably seen ultrasound images of babies, but if you arrange an array of ultrasound transducers to focus to a point, they can manipulate cells and membranes like a magnifying glass focusing sunlight to a burning hot point. Focused ultrasound can burn tumor cells deep inside the body, without surgery. Or it can heat the cells enough to trigger the immune system. Or mechanically rend them apart. It can stimulate deep brain regions in a mm^3 voxel for a variety of mental health applications, like deep brain stimulation without the brain surgery. Or relax the blood-brain-barrier in a specific region. Or activate nanoparticle-conjugated-drugs to deliver psychedelic medicine to certain brain regions and not others to further elucidate their mechanism of action (e.g., can ketamine be therapeutic without disassociation?).

Most of the half million treatments so far have been for the removal of uterine fibroids, pancreatic cancer tumors and liver tumors — all without surgery and its collateral damage. It’s a bit like the Star Trek vision of medical care.

Here is an overview of the various applications and their state of development: https://t.co/7XVOBk1Rri

@pmarca It starts with reducing consumption at every level. If you have >1 home, >1 car, before having that next steak, it is time to think twice. More often than not folks try to explain away their lifestyle by saying their time is precious and by asking others to sacrifice.

Layer 2s - Layer 2 refers to a secondary framework or protocol built on top of an existing blockchain system.

The main goal of these protocols is to solve the transaction speed and scaling difficulties being faced by the major cryptocurrency networks.
