  1. I need translation for an easier ecosia search.
    How do allistic people describe "nauseous above knee"?
    It's like the 2 or 3 inches above the top of my right kneecap.
    I'm literally only getting separate results for "feeling sick" and "knee / joint pain".
    The area above my kneecap feels nausea. How tf do I research that?

  2. "Idk, I think it's less about empathy or compassion, and more about making sure the (hopefully small) group of uncaring people who enter medicine or allied health professions are incentivised to act pro-socially.
    Like, in your region, what studying conditions and working conditions are clinicians expected to tolerate? Do they receive a living wage throughout study and work? Is their livelihood for a single person or big enough they can build a household?

    Do they feel comfortable being a whistleblower when something goes wrong? (Numbers-wise, mistakes will happen over time.)
    How robust is the inspection or regulation? How flexible are the logistics of each sector?
    How many crises at once can be weathered without change to patient care? How long will it take to build back up that 'extra' capacity / contingency margin?

    Who (in what position, in which teams) is responsible (or in what order) for noticing angels of death? What about anyone with less final but still harmful motives?

    How severe are the consequences for failure? How many people feel compelled to hide errors rather than remedy them? What options for remediation are accessible to all staff, including contractors?"

  9. A short news story I wrote reporting on a study that found the shape of your #heart can help predict risk for atrial fibrillation.
    The first few paragraphs (most of the story):

    Rounder hearts predict future heart failure, a-fib
    Greater left ventricular sphericity showed 47% greater incidence of #cardiomyopathy

    MAY 2023 -- Not everyone’s heart is quite the same shape and its shape changes over time – but this could help predict who’s at risk for #cardiomyopathy.

    A study in CellPress, where researchers analysed cardiac MRIs of over 30,000 people, found that variations in left ventricle sphericity in normal hearts predicted risk for cardiomyopathy and related outcomes.

    Researchers hypothesized that beyond size and function, the shape of hearts might carry extra details about heart health. To study this, they used data from a large biobank with cardiac imaging data to help analyze variation in cardiac morphology in normal populations.

    They noted “Cardiomyopathies of different etiologies often result in a similar end-stage phenotype of a more round, spherical ventricle. Among individuals with known cardiac disease, increased sphericity of the left ventricle (LV) has been associated with adverse outcomes, including ventricular arrhythmias and death.”

    It also stated that “within the spectrum of normal LV chamber size and systolic function, there exists variation in LV sphericity, and this variation may be a marker of cardiac risk with genetic underpinnings.”

    The researchers turned to artificial intelligence to help analyze 38,897 cardiac MRIs from the U.K. Biobank database. The cohort had undergone cardiac MRIs and had normal LV end-diastolic volume, normal LV end-systolic volume, and normal LV ejection fraction.

    The team looked at LV sphericity and whether it predicted incident cardiomyopathy as well as clinical manifestations such as atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and #cardiac arrest. Other factors were taken into account such as body mass index, pulse rate, #hypertension, diabetes, and prior #myocardial infarction.

    “We found that individuals with spherical hearts were 31% more likely to develop atrial fibrillation and 24% more likely to develop cardiomyopathy,” said Dr. David Ouyang in a press release. He is coauthor of the study and a cardiologist at Cedars Sinai in California....
