I’m grateful that none of our cadavers were unclaimed remains. All of them had info sheets with demographics, profession, and a brief health history. Our school also holds a Donor Memorial ceremony every year, but I don’t know if that’s common or ubiquitous among medical schools.
Bilal Muhammed Saleh, 40, was reportedly part of a group working outside their village near Nablus; IDF says combat soldier on leave was involved in incident, it is investigating
There was an incident years ago where police carried out a no-knock raid at the wrong house and killed a baby with a flashbang grenade and they suffered no consequences that I can recall.

If your payment is $0 based on your income, staying in appropriate contact with your loan servicer and maintaining your IDR paperwork means that those “$0 payments” each month count towards the 120 (PSLF) or 240 (20 year forgiveness) qualifying payments.
It’s been a week or two now since the top-right menu buttons stopped working for me.

I’m not really sure. It’s been doing this for about 2 weeks now, but I don’t recall if there was an associated update as I don’t remember exactly when it started. That’s why I was hoping to find someone else having the same problem to look for correlations.
Given that there is the workaround of using the other screen and the Surface Duo 2 is probably not a very common device, I’d say that if there isn’t a straightforward solution to not worry about it.
Other people have given me a hard time for using that as the metric for when they’re done. It’s not my fault they interpret it as me drowning the cookie.
Bettersten Wade’s search for her adult son ended when she discovered that an officer had run him over — and without telling her, authorities buried him in a pauper’s field.
Every time I hear about (more) police violence, I just get stuck thinking about the number of times I’ve been assaulted by patients as a healthcare worker and how I was still required to put their safety above my own if at all possible…including the one that was twice my weight and tried to strangle me.
Then perhaps Israel should have maintained their border security with Gaza instead of pulling IDF forces away to assist with the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. If the “settlers” didn’t need IDF protection for their raping and pillaging, the border of Gaza would have been better watched during when the Hamas attack happened.
Bitcoin is evil in the sense that Bitcoin mining has likely done irreparable harm to the environment through energy usage and it’s associated pollution. I also find it to be a very predatory market that relies on small investors to bolster the overall value, but usually gives little to no benefit in return for that investment. All of the hype and media around cryptocurrency encourages people in precarious positions to buy in with the hopes of making it big. It’s just gambling.
In my experience, people who use and trade cryptocurrency in significant quantities are likely either gambling on it, or using it as money laundering for nefarious things.
Before you jump into your tirade about how you have all this education and how you’re so much smarter than everyone else, I’ll head you off at the pass to say that you probably know a lot more about computer and software engineering than I do. However, I have a fairly extensive education in the humanities and biological sciences. So if we’re going to be all stupid about it, I guarantee that I’ll be more useful and more employable in any kind of post-crash society than you would be, so I’d encourage you to take other kinds of intelligence into consideration before you get all sanctimonious about stuff like this; especially in subjects that don’t really matter that much in the grand scheme of things.

It would still go through the liver for metabolism. The only thing “boofing” effectively does is skip the stomach part of the digestive process. To take up anything from the digestive tract, it gets transported through the intestinal lumen and into the mesenteric and hepatic portal system. The liver filters everything that gets into the blood from the gut before it goes into the inferior vena cava and into the rest of the circulatory system.
Correction to clarify: the lower gut/colon mostly only takes up water and certain vitamins that are released by gut bacteria, and very small molecules like ethanol can sometimes get through as well. The very lowest part of the colon does have a vascular supply that can bypass the liver, and there are some medications designed to take advantage of the select receptors and transporters down there. However, neurotransmitters and peptide hormones (which is what OP was asking about) would likely not get taken up until it was much higher up in the digestive tract, and at that point it would go through the hepatic portal system.
Thank you to those that corrected me. Intestines are actually fairly complicated.
The lower colon really only transports water and a couple of vitamins released by gut biota, so if they’re getting far enough in that more complex molecules would be taken up, that would probably be up into the hepatic portal system.
The reason “boofing” works for alcohol is because ethanol is actually a rather small molecule, all things considered.

As a medical student with a decent tech background… I don’t want AI within the same firewall as an EMR. Something I don’t see anyone talking about that would concern me is whether or not the AIs can accidentally regurgitate a patient’s personal information. They’re trained on the input, so I could see it failing to recognize PHI and spitting out sensitive information.

These aren’t arrests of Hamas. These arrests are happening in the West Bank as part of the massive settler expansion that has been going on in the background.

My personal philosophy is to treat vaccines like Pokemon: gotta catch 'em all (so that you don’t catch the disease instead). Any time someone offers me a vaccine, I take it.
I want to work in emergency medicine when I’m done with medical school and emergency room patients will just cough straight into your face no matter what they have. Even without COVID, I’ll probably keep wearing an N95.
So it’s more like “grandparents’ rights” without having to admit that they screwed up somewhere along the way that lead to them being grandparents in the first place.
I never said anything about defending Hamas. If there was a way to extract them and offer them up to the Hague without endangering innocent civilians, I’d be all for it. But we should put Netanyahu and his cabinet on trial as well. There can be more than one monster at a time
