Right. The Mark I was two separate auto-injectors (2-pam chloride is somewhat more formally 2-pralidoxime chloride) Duodote is nice because it's in one package and it's now officially safe.
Massachusetts, at least, allowed EMS to carry Mark I's to stick themselves and "fellow authorized emergency responders" with, and indeed gave them away for a while. The catch was that they don't have an especially long shelf life, so some private companies didn't bite because they would have been required to restock them at cost. It doesn't look like anything's going to change now.
Imagine being hit by protons with (they estimate) the energy of a baseball. It's earned the nickname from that alone, never mind the astrophysics problems.
IANA(condensed-matter physicist/engineer/etc.) but I assume that if they make this a mainstream product, they're going to package it pretty tightly: something to keep all those dissociated copper atoms together, some shock absorption, and maybe Faraday cage-like shielding to isolate it from EMF.
Not the best analogy. The issue here isn't that we don't have any idea what CHF is, but rather that we don't really have a comprehensive physiological understanding (compare Tay-Sachs). We know some of what goes on, if you didn't gather that from all the posts from MDs on here giving overviews, and the corset is targeted at a specific aspect of the condition that is understood well enough to attempt treatment.
Would you prefer we waited for more research before ordering Lasix or making recommendations like fluid restriction? After all, unless we completely understand the condition, it's essentially faith-based medieval barbering.
I saw those at MassMoCA.They're fairly interesting, but I'm not especially worried about a new generation of anthro pigs being born. Actually, if the furries got that into their heads...

How one clumsy finger caused an ugly headline!

And here I was hoping Apple had ported the BSOD. Incidentally, with XP updated, I haven't seen one of those in a while. Makes me nostalgic for 95/Me.
