If you have complete AV block, a leadless pacemaker is less good than one with multiple leads, since it allows pacing multiple chambers and maintaining synchrony between A and V.
It’s a research dataset, similar to MNIST or CIFAR. Stanford does not want to be in the business of monetizing patient data, so it restricts commercial use.
With AIMI, we released EchoNet-Dynamic, the largest open dataset of echocardiograms (cardiac ultrasounds) and expert cardiologist labels as part of a paper published last year. The dataset went through a rigorous review to make sure no identifying information was leaked as part of the process. Happy to answer any questions.
I have absolutely nothing against CGMs, but the author confounds measurement error (which can happen in both blood tests as well as subcutaneous measurement which a CGM does), thresholding on a population level (I doubt anyone thinks an A1c of 4.5 and 5.6 are the same), and weak evidence of impact in actual health outcomes. It’s fun in the same way a Fitbit/Apple Watch is fun, but I don’t think one should oversell it’s utility.
I think number of launches was used as a proxy for number of satellites launched in the last month - more satellites/launch shouldn't impact it that much.
Not op but cortisol is elevated in "just stress" as well as critical illness. An elevated cortisol is not a diagnostic test that can deferentiate between a serious medical problem and stress.
Yes, but that does not require complicated structures like blood vessels. Embryos and ova are small enough to grow on cell culture in which diffusion is enough to provide oxygen and nutrients, with only the need to replace culture fluid every few days.
Would you want someone to get you water from a sink? With a tiny cup meant for spitting? Most doctors offices have water coolers or bottled water that they can give you. They probably didn't want to interrupt the flow of the exam and are on a tight schedule so don't want to be late for the next patient.
All three links are about the same small startup that is being funded by SBIR through the NIH, which is all about trying to give seed funding for experimental technology. The patents are listed on their website and links don't show anything more advanced than ubeam.
