I did research on the current wet/dry macular degeneration treatments at Wills Eye in Philly

Eylea HD just stands for high dosage cause we went from 2mg of fluid being injected into the eye to 8mg being injected. Anymore didn't work to well with no significant increase in the amount of time a patient could go between shots

The current biopharmakinetics is focused on vasoconstricting of the vessels around the eyes. This prevents future eye floaters from leaking into the eye and helps to decrease a persons "IOP" by reducing the constant eye pressure that comes with high blood pressure. And combine high BP is a comorbidity to diabetes the current eye injections effectively make the tiniest blood vessels in the eye to constrict and stop just constantly leaking floaters into your eyes.

There was one of the randomized trial drugs that was actually very different from the other ones and the opthos images for those patients after 4 weeks of treatment showed new / healthier non leaking blood vessel growing and the people went from 200/20 vision to 20/20 vision in less then 3 months

AOL has never done me dirty, asked for me to buy cloud data, auto deleted emails. Aim account still going strong for email

I just say the twilight zone episode where the guy who works at a bank suddenly can read people's thoughts

The episode goes on to focus on an old bank teller who has been there for 30 years

The whole episode was the old bank teller fantasizing about how he would rob the bank after close and go to Aruba with the money

The guy who can read minds end up confronting the old man first instead of turning him into the police

The old man realizes this guy can read his thoughts and says that he has been stuck in a dead a job for 30 years. Of course he has thoughts but that doesn't mean he will ever act on them.

This episode aired over 60 years ago and I think we need to really remember what the difference is between thoughts/diary entries and actual actions

I really like how kotlin apps just seem to work. On everything. Currently trying to cleanup my python scripts to eventually easily port to Kotlin

Good job having a moral

Yea I think Google is trying to privatize the internet. The new October update for Android updated a few of the system apps and one just named "shell" to include an intoggleable setting that will gives them permission to read and edit anything on or even interacts with Google's network or devices.

With mass buying old text books and destroying them, the trend of companies purposely programming misleading guardrails/syntax errors to prevent shippable projects and even removing everything except from a single page of search results and an ai blob, that rich guy who got choked out in a restraint and Florida for harassing the hostess has been wiped from the Internet several times. Fat Elon musk. And now hearing people trying to make sure wiki is changed so when Gemini just pulls the page from its cache it won't have that info and unless there is some data hoarder who is going to spend his life unredacting the internet... I think it's just going to be an advertising honey pot with no critical thinking or open information allowed

Shit I pretty sure Google has removed some of my drive docs I had in the cloud that were specifically about the w3m coding language.

So with the literal entire knowledge of the universe at our fingertips we will be force fed 200 character ads because no one will actually understand how anything works or be able to reliably find info on it

Yea it cut 1bil into the insurerance company profits. But they pass that on to the hospitals by raising prices even more. "To make up for extra costs"

For profit healthcare is such a scam

The paper is well written and seems to make sense. Bioengineering genetically modified mosquitoes so the males can't reproduce

Has been done and works in major cities just needs to be taken up on a large enough scale to have an effect before the mosquito population have a mutation

I would say making a super sqeeto is the concern of the operation. But overall more efficient(and probably safer) than the slew of pesticide usage over the decades

Minimum wage is still $7.25/hour in the US

Any idea what will happened to our saved Gems or how to convert them before they get deleted

Gems have been extremely powerful at highly specific topics and helping with learn different topics. Definitely seemed to hallucinate a lot less when a notebook was linked

it's a shame they are ending the program
