If CPR is done right ~10% will walk out of the hospital. But that's a big if! Must be near a trained bystander. AED is much better on shockable rhythms, ~70%. Unfortunately most out-of-hospital cardiac events occur in homes which rarely have access to a device.
In 2021, a drone-delivered AED was used to successfully shock a 71-year-old man back into a stable rhythm in Sweden. The drone delivered the AED in just over three minutes from a 911 call.
Studying years of emergency drone data back up the anecdotes. The AED gets there 10-15 min ahead of medics and boosts survival 70%.
I'd like to know more about the tumor killing mechanism. The article suggests it's due to the DNA destroying effects of radionucleotides. But these hot grains also produce heat. Many tumors are heat intolerant. Also, cancer cells are hideously good at surviving and rebuilding after genotixic stress. It can actually accelerate acquisition of treatment resistance. Genomes shatter and oncogenes recruit replication machinery amplifying to 10-20s copies in a couple cell divisions.
I used to study nematodes. We routinely used infrared lasers to ablate sub cellular structures like a neuronal axon or dendrite. These multiphoton lasers use 5-6 ultra weak beams and are only destructive where they converge. Which can be a cross section as small as a few nanometers. The worms are transparent and microscopic so you can easily see all their cellular structures under a microscope. Hopefully ML will boost radiography resolution enough we use this kinda of tech on people.
I think he see’s the development of machine intelligence as an inevitable outcome of making our tech better and better. Erehwon sorta a situation. Heading for a Peter Watts Fireflies timeline. If we create quadrillions of nigh immortal servants there is no doubt that in time we will become their servants. This happens in the biosphere. Beetles can’t out compete militant Ant superorganisms so they invest in every kind of hacking and co-exist with the hive mind as a macroparasite. The human brain is freakishly good at hacking given the right incentives. That is the power he seeks. I hope, lol
Some endogenous retroviruses will package other endogeneous viruses into capsid-like vesicles that are transmitted to nearby cells. One of these envelope-like proteins, Arc, is essential for human brain development. Viruses run the show. Where just catching up to speed.
Ive been doing academic biomedical research for the last 15 years. Finding competent reviewers for computational papers is like NP complete. Yet there is a factorial increase of sophisticated code in the literature. So we got the inverse problem to tech. Not enough of the old school, goto reviewer scientists have learned the foundational stuff.
Rove beetles also parasitize army ants. As soon as army ants existed these beetles we're building backdoors. Of course the ants want to recognize these cheaters and eliminate them. As ant genera diverged over time some relied more on tactile recognition of body shape ('touchers') and others not so much ('sniffers'). The parasites of touchers look like the ant but the sniffers not as much.
