What. We’ve been able to test for genetic markers of various conditions for decades, this is only new for these conditions.

Awesome, thank you.

Sometimes I just like to see what people say. The arguably valid application for gen AI coupled with the controversy of Elsevier and an obvious promotion — it’s an interesting intersection of topics.

Agreed, Elsevier sucks. Science Direct is an okay tool.

Did you read the article?

Even after waterloo he’d çtill have Nâpoléon’s çtink fetish.

This is about bureaucracy and how structured trials can fail to reveal a drugs efficacy.

It’s a magic mushroom.

What happens if you accidentally mix the juice from mealy rosette lichen fermented in 10% ammonia with small amounts of boric acid, aluminum sulphate, aluminum phosphate, 99% ethanol, sodium carbonate, 10% acedic acid, calcium carbonate, sulphur, gum agaric, glycerine, honey, and 3% hydrogen peroxide? Hypothetically?

Yes, I know. I post most of these articles. The issue was with generalizing Christians as child molesters.

Edit: I’m Canadian. Technically, the first amendment to our constitution was forcing the Hudson’s Bay Company to give us Rupert’s Land.

I’m not going go remove this (and no one’s reported it) because religious trauma is real and many religious institutions haven’t done themselves any favors in tackling this problem. However, please avoid generalizing any religious group of people here, especially with such a severe accusation.

My friend thought the Simpsons was satanic. The same person believed the movie “The Fugitive” was good Christian fun.

I was too tired when I wrote that. Vortiexone is my nothing burger. Wellbutrin has no noticable effect for me on it’s own and ramps up my anxiety if I’m on other stimulants.

I haven’t looked at the clinical depression treatment doses of the cold meds turned brain meds yet, but maybe? It’s already a psych drug anyway that targets that reflex.

I make a point of not looking up drugs I’m trying, I take notes instead and compare later with my psyche. Right now it’s a mix of Adderall, duloxetine and abilify, which work pretty well for me as a triad but none of them do much for me individually, even 20mg of adderall is like a couple coffees.

Brains are fucking weird.

You know those hipster Speakeasy’s with some prodigal bartender who mixes your favorite drink? I imagine there’s one of those somewhere with a mustachio’d psychopharmacologist in a rustic leather apron, who takes one look at you before he starts tossing ingredients into a mortar, with flourishes and puns. He’s got a vintage copper pill press that spins on a motor, flinging tablets he catches in a green glass bottle, pops the cork stopper and hands you your ~perfect drug~

I just tried buproprion. It was an expensive sugar pill for me, or might as well have been.

What.

WHAT.

These reports are based on patients presenting to the ER with cyclical vomiting. After charts are taken and tox reports are done, they’ve found all of them are habitual to chronic cannabinoid users. It usually happens in the morning and it’s unrelated to other factors.

When presenting to the emergency room with possible signs of intoxication, poisoning, or overdose (the scromiting,) it’s standard to do a toxicology report, which is how they can rule out alcohol.

Vice has a vibe, it’s informal, the tone isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but I like it because it’s different, and their health and science reporting is always well sourced. If you check out the source in the article it links to a paper.

Just because there’s been so much bullshit around weed doesn’t mean it’s perfect. I did a bit of dealing back in the day, tried different weed every which way, and it’s a net negative for me.

But all we know is that it’s somehow linked to this persistent vomiting syndrome, it could be certain strains, genetic, or some entirely different reason. It’s as important to question the reports as it is to use them to figure out what’s going on.

The published reports say it mostly happens to chronic users. Admittedly studies are difficult because of mixed policies about cannabis, but it’s been reported from ER departments in multiple countries, some where cannabis is legal/descriminalized. If someone shows up to an ER (at least in Canada) with overdose symptoms, they would have a blood test for alcohol poisoning, ruling it out. Given that, and the volume of papers on it, it warrants more research.

I believe it because pot and ketamine are the two drugs that make me nauseous at minimum. I’ve smoked more than my fair share because I thought the pain was what made it cool, but it either had no effect or made me ill. After one terrible, sickly day, I quit. CBD is the same for me.

Wait, so you can’t follow a story past four panels? What is “four panel logic?” I think you made that up.

I was quoting someone else.

My information is from reputable sources in healthcare, journalism and medicine. Do we not recognize Ph D’s here, now?

In every one of my comments I try to bring the discussion back to the narrative of the comic, you brought up pregnancy, which I addressed.

I don see this conversation being productive, so you can have the last word and I won’t respond. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Did you… did you read them? Or did you lose the plot after four statements?

I won’t respond, you have the last word if you like.

Thank you. So much.

There’s at least one of these every day.

“I didn’t get it so the comic is wrong.”

I am a woman who has been to the doctor. I get asked “Are you pregnant or breastfeeding,” all the goddamn time.

Weird you think disagreement is an insult.

Countless men who have never been a woman in a doctor’s office don’t get it. Lemmy is about 73% men. They’re missing the point for the same reason this comic exists, because women’s experiences are minimalized in healthcare.

All the panels are related, that’s how a narrative works. A lack of media literacy doesn’t make it wrong, because women get it without needing an explanation. Unless the guys in the comments are actual doctors, they’re just a large volume of unsupported opinions. It is not routine to ask about a period in an emergency, the medical emergency is the context.

Again, the comic isn’t about pregnancy, it’s about dismissing women’s pain and blaming problems on hormones.

…women in pain are much more likely than men to receive prescriptions for sedatives, rather than pain medication, for their ailments. One study even showed women who received coronary bypass surgery were only half as likely to be prescribed painkillers, as compared to men who had undergone the same procedure.

Another source

Women are more likely to encounter scepticism regarding the severity or legitimacy of their symptoms as a result of gender biases and cultural norms ingrained in the medical discourse about women’s bodies and diseases over centuries.

Yet another source

Despite medical advancements, women frequently face underdiagnosis and inadequate treatment of pain (Pieretti et al., 2016). Healthcare providers often dismiss or minimize women’s pain, labeling it as “emotional” or “psychosomatic” rather than physical (Samulowitz et al., 2017).
