this is all incorrect. 1. CRP is c-reactive protein, a biomarker for inflammation in the body, it has ZERO correlation to prognosis or severity of infection. It simply tells you yes/no there is inflammation present. 2. these “spasms” are most likely rigors, which is your body trying to heat itself up to maintain…

Comments on articles like this one are the reason I come to this website as a break from my real responsibilities as a physician. The lay person simply has no understanding of what the pharmacologic action of an antibiotic is, let alone the long term effects of stopping a course short. Not implying that I do either as…

Are there any NYC C&C? I can’t seem to find any based on my rather quick google search

are the financial incentives still available? all the info i found online states that they stopped offering the 5k and zero percent financing back on 5/31. Would love to pick up a hatchback with a 6spd if I can get a decent deal on it

I’ve used Turo for a while now, when they used to be called Relay Rides. It’s a decent alternative to the commercial offerings when you’re looking for something with a bit more flair. My fiance and I rented a 370z droptop with a 6spd and took 2 weeks exploring the PCH earlier this earlier. Cost was only 65 bucks a…

I don’t consider myself to be a master mechanic by any means but I can get majority of routine maintenance stuff done without a hitch. About two years ago, I was still a physician, in the middle of my residency, when I decided to change the plugs on my 2002 nissan altima 2.5s in the parking lot shared with my…

Wasn’t the biggest fan of the Cala, but I remember it fondly in need for speed II SE

I actually use mine to record myself when rehearsing a presentation. Playing it back allows me to see where my transitions weren't smooth as well as hearing my own material again. Has worked really well for me in the past and much better than practicing in front of a mirror

how were they lost if we never knew they existed?

Does the IOC also have the ability to rescind the offers to host the games if they don't follow through with the plans? Basically i'm curious to know what the deciding factor is on how badly the host country would have to screw up the plans that they would have the games taken away from them

Forgive my ignorance but are things like this not taken in to account by the IOC (or FIFA) when selecting the next site for the games? It seems like every year for the last few games, all we have seen is how much pollution and corruption is involved in setting up for the games and eventually leaves the city in modern…

One thing I wish people had told me before I went to undergrad is that where you get your undergraduate degree really doesn't matter. And by that I mean if you have an opportunity to go to a decent state school in your home state vs. leaving your state it's definitely not worth the extra expense to get the same…

Not sure what you mean by "untested", could you clarify (hopefully i didn't miss it in the article). I'm assuming you meant that the combo of drugs has not been tested to cause death, however we use drugs like that individually in the hospital on patients all the time (with the exception of potassium chloride). …

the 356

agreed! any info?

I tried using the service and it left me with a sour taste. Getting in touch with the service rep was easy enough, made an appointment but the rep was a no show. Never even apologized for it. I then tried to go through the website to get in touch with another rep and somehow got routed back to him only for him to…

more importantly where in brooklyn does she live where the fines were less than 200 bucks to have your car towed??

no mention of the renault espace f1??

agreed, that looks hideous. I'd like to say it's all the tape and things all over it but I definitely won't be holding my breath for the finished product

hmm, I think I understand what you're saying, but that would be assuming that the organ transplanted with the donor DNA is capable of producing a hormone. Kidneys for example, don't produce hormones, so a kidney transplant wouldn't necessarily produce any behavioral changes. The DNA within donor kidney tissue is…
