Hmmm, I think, for what it is worth, that he is genuinely trying to be a helpful friend here, and who knows, maybe his friends and aquaintances have asked him for his opinion and he feels that his experience counts for something.
I'd, f'rinstance, rather not be asked, by friends who want me to write them a script, take a look at that keratoacanthoma, or send them for a CXR and C&S for that troubling cough, but I do, because I'd prefer that they have good health and peace of mind, than not. Certainly, I'm not going to sign off on a free breast augmentation (one, mainly because 95% of people don't need it, but because that is taking work away from private surgeons).
And, as a nice side benefit, I know that they'd do the same for me if I had concerns about something that they were skilled in that I wasn't.

Blackberries work with Lotus Notes (at least here in Australia), my partner's large financial services company uses it.

Yes, sadly HP has abandoned too many good technologies. Luckily I've still got my HP67 from 1978, my HP41cx from 1984 and my HP28s from 1988, not to mention my HP Rappaport Sprague stethoscope from when I started in medicine back in 1979 (saw one for sale on eBay last week for US$600.... went and locked mine up after seeing that).
I still use all the gear too, still have nuclear medicine programmes on cards for the 41 and 67 although I tend to use the Nuclear Medicine and Clinical Chemistry plug-in module on the 41 more. As for the HP Rappaport Sprague, fantastic clarity of chest and heart sounds, anything else is like listening with cotton wool in your ears.
One would have to suspect that they will issue a limited ed HP35 for the "surprise", but anything like the real thing (tm) would be appreciated.
"You've got a chart filling a whole wall with interlocking pathways and reactions to shock and the researcher says "If I can just control this one molecule/enzyme/compound I'll stop the whole negative physiologic cascade of post haemorrhagic shock." Yeah, right."
Hi, could you give the reference for this calculation please?

Well, that's pretty much 'cause it's mine, and relates to pretty much how I feel when a patient is/has bleeding/bled to death in front of me and some pointy head is pissing on about their favourite molecule/protein that they've been jerking off over this last fifty years and how everything would be all right if we just used that.

Interesting article (Russian, hopefully, is the correct spelling), and one that should concern us all with the ever increasing load of space junk up there. Who needs terrorists when there are many nations with junk falling out of the sky at us?

Normally I wouldn't comment on US politics, but this is too strange a comment not to.
Ahhh, can you remember what happened to Hillary last time she showed her ideals to the American public whilst first lady? Look it up if you can't recall what they were. I think the saying goes something along the lines of "once bitten....."
Talk about the bizarre rabid witch-burning that went on. Over here, in Australia, the bulk of the population sat wide eyed as someone, their first lady, who was trying to give the US a hint on equitable health care got torn limb from limb.
Just weird.

When can this technology be transferred so as to mute grunting tennis players? Yes Ms Sharapova, it's you that we are looking at.

To do other than treat all casualties presenting, is breaking the taking of the Hippocratic Oath that one does when becoming a doctor (of medicine).
It has nothing to do with any one country having the "moral high ground" and everything to do with one's essential humanity regardless of race, creed or colour.

Hi, just a bit of a heads up re inability to know which is a track from the iTunes store and which isn't. In the far left hand column of iTunes where one accesses the store, try clicking on the word "Purchased". I think you will find that will reveal which items have been purchased from the iTunes store.

Not that I know anything much about recording, but recently whilst selling off the late father-in-law's Baffling Vault of Antiquity® (aka The Storeroom of Doom) on eBay, a whole pile of EMI 77/24N 10,5" reel to reel tapes from the early 1950s were sold to a recording engineer who said that they were using the old reel to reel tapes to imbue their recordings with a "warmth" missing from the modern digital equipment (the late father-in-law was a radio producer from the 1940s-1950s and hoarded all the tapes of shows he produced).
So, in the final reduction, I guess there are still people who feel that the unmanipulated digital sound is still too clinical and are happy to pay to have the source recorded on the good old analogue tape.
Just as an aside, apparently they prefer to use tape made prior to the late 1960s as these used a different binder, one that used whale oil (or something like that which is now banned) which is apparently the dog's bollocks when it comes to the longevity of the tape, the modern stuff is just average in comparison.

As an ex-CSIRO scientist from the early 1990's who personally developed several diagnostic assays for chlamydia trachomatis (look it up) which were commissioned by a certain large Swedish pharmaceutical company, I can confidently say, that the work done wasn't solely for the benefit of Australian companies.
For some years, the CSIRO has had a policy of being a hired gun, so to speak, for anyone prepared to hand over the readies, and further, applies pressure to the various divisions, to be self-funding to a certain degree (in my particular group, it was 30% but that was 12 years ago now).
The current Australian goverment, is, unfortunately, a conservative one, and is only too happy to put pressure on the CSIRO and other research institutes to get their funding from elsewhere, rather than from the public purse (well, gives them more money to piss up against the wall for defence et cetera).
10 years, however, is about par for the course with anything at the CSIRO, as it is now top heavy with administrators whose sole aim in life is to ensure that their arses are protected. The truly great and good scientists from there have all buggered orf or taken their generous redundany pay and retired. Me? I was headhunted over 10 years ago and I don't really miss it the way it is now.
Rather I yearn for the days before some idiot decided that bean counters or people with an MBA should be in charge, where you didn't have to attend 5 meetings a day or spend time worrying about your ever shrinking contract and were allowed to get on with the genuine science.
Nahhhh, nothing so cute, we had to fast 24 hours then drink the EtOH so as to study gastric motility. Most threw up either the EtOH, transmitter or both, not to mention a fair splash of bile. One poor nucmed tech became jaundiced and remained that way for a few weeks, her bilirubin was through the roof. Mind you, she was accident prone, not long after, she was crossing the road outside between the hospital and the research lab and was virtually slit in half by an out of control motorcycle accelerating away from traffic lights. Poor old Deb spent the next 6 months in traction and undergoing continual surgery. Ahhhh, the joys of hospital life.........
Having been at both bleeding edges of medical research as both subject and investigator, it depends very much on the respective ethics panels (my background is nuclear medicine).
There have been a number of studies that I've had performed on me including, but not limited to:
Induction of blisters by heat and or vacuum, then having the resultant fluid drained every 2 hours for 24 hours
Electric shocks to the earlobe to measure pain response 3 times per week for 2 hours over a 3 month period
Drinking 100mL of neat EtOH and swallowing a radio transmitter with a 5 metre antenna whilst having 50mL of blood pulled every 2 hours for 24 hours, with the final indignation of having the radio transmitter being pulled out via the antenna by the same route
These were not fun, but laying around in a PET whilst being infused with 18-F deoxyglucose and having the aforementioned poking and prodding performed sounds like a walk in the park, but then again, the people performing these things are a pretty effete bunch coming as they do from Australia's wanna be city of Melbourne, very strange bunch of people down there. But I digress, if you really, really want to perform these experiments, as long as there is no long term sequale and I can't see any reason for not doing them (yeah, I'd be happy to put my hand up, believe me, I'm no hero, nor am I a masochist).
Geez Louise, Just don't mate the fuckers with the ones that we have got drinking red wine or white wine (don't ask, well not unless you'd like a dissertation on why the Australian Wine Board funded us to study the effect of red wine versus white wine versus water and high fat content mouse chow on murine atherosclerosis). Pissed singing mice, just totally sick (in the nicest possible way, I think, maybe). Deeply disturbing

So that complimentary medicine is the free stuff right? As opposed to the complementary medicine that is the expensive herbal stuff?
Seriously though, the peptides they are talking about are (relatively) trivial to produce in bulk.
