I agree with those above that this is mostly a "thought experiment" with minimal real world use for the average recreational lifter with a "normal" and balanced diet. However, this may have...

For the record, "brain activity" (as mentioned in the initial post) does not cease when you are under anesthesia generally. Only in very specific cases is there an attempt to cause a near "flat" EEG....

A question I've never pondered...If a physician gets pneumonia, is it technically HCAP?

Congrats on getting done, it's always a weight off the shoulders at these "benchmark" exams that signifies the next step (usually into more specialization). I'm an anesthesia resident, and similar to...

I was about to ask what year you were, Step3 indicates intern? I took it last year, the secret is still UWorld QBank, focusing on OBGyn (which I think isn't covered too well in Q's) and running...

For the extremely obese, food is essentially a psychological coping measure. They eat when they are bored, sad, tired, depressed, and so on. This can easily lead to a vicious cycle that leads to...

That's why people have mentioned here regarding the importance of (primary) prevention in addressing this issue. Of course if you are already morbidly obese, its foolish to tell them to just "shape...

I saw your recent video addressing your view on "cheating" and to be honest it was a bit convoluted and hard to follow. I'll preface by saying that I have no problems with you doing eating challenges...

IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is not associated with malabsorption. IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, so I hope you have had a full work up to rule out all other possible GI disorders. I suggest you...

The main question is how high were they? Remember that reference values are based on the population and there is some margin for higher and lower values. Also, whether AST and/or ALT are elevated...

Really? I've heard it advertised at $100-200 but maybe that's a gimmick to get "donations." $25 for an hour or two of your time may or may not be worth it depending on how you look at it.

It's a relatively straight forward process, whole blood is extracted, plasma is taken and the red blood cells are returned to you. Takes around 1/2 to 1 hour, I believe compensation is around...

Whey protein and supplements are becoming more popular in India and can be bought in most "corner" stores, although most are a bunch of garbage thrown together (see a picture I snapped from my last...

Yikes, I'm going to assume you were prescribed iron and did not take it? I know the side effects are a pain to deal with but with a level of 6, you can actually have some permanent effects to your...

If you don't mind sharing, how low?

FYI, the biggest factors in blood pressure management are weight loss, exercise and not smoking (if you do). The other interventions are harder to define and tend to have smaller effects (for...

The shape is more regarding its biochemistry and properties related to its configuration in the 2D and 3D orientation, doesn't have much to do with digestion and protein "quality."

Yes, if you enjoy whey in your coffee, go for it.

FYI, "denaturing" protein is a meaningless statement. Your body will utilize the protein whether its in cold or hot coffee, "denatured" or not.

"Colonic inertia" is often a grab bag diagnosis for constipation of unknown origin. Were you diagnosed with imaging, formal studies or just based on your history&exam? I don't know why they told you...

Although interesting, I remember previously when the almond study was referenced the difference seemed to be due to the level of "breakdown" of the nuts before entering the stomach. In other words,...
