The simple fact that there is no need to cover the face of the patient during the procedure should be enough to raise some red flags, it would understandable for some patients not to know this, but I find it difficult to think nobody (nurses, doctors, etc.) found out this extremely unusual way to conduct the electrocardiogram.

That's the procedure in Japan. Covering the face during this exam. I was told by a Japanese physician that this is done often as it was to allow the female patient to preserve her modesty.

The medical attention is the standard in countries like Japan, which makes the risk of infection from the bite negligible, this is not like the person is in some kind of deserted island where even the basic procedures are not taken.

Makes sense they would seek medical attention because of the high risk of infection from the bites in the first place.

“Clinical trials and dosing instructions don’t always ensure that drugs will be safe and effective for people with obesity,

More support for the medical consensus that diet and exercise are the best and safest ways to lose or maintain weight.

Totally depends upon the company, and it's never a good idea to try and assume to know what "most" do or dont do. Been working in this country for nearly 4 decades, and all I will say is, SOME do, SOME don't.

Most do.

Look at the largest employer in Japan, komuin, they sure as hell DONT have a place to eat lunch!

They do actually.

The story is about the US.

It's about lunch, in the US.

Most Japanese companies and authorities do not provide eating places.

Actually, it's the opposite, as most do provide a place to eat.

Climate's Catch-22: Cutting pollution heats up the planet

The experts of the world have got themselves caught up in a conundrum.

And to solve alcoholism just don't drink, and smoking is solved as easily by not doing it, right?

If you don't want to burn your hand, don't touch the flame. It's actually that simple.

simplisticl non-solutions is why the US is in such a disastrous situation in the first place.

That is just your personal opinion, with no scientific basis. Laughable too.

Nothing personal in the FDA approving the drug because of their proven benefits, nor the disastrous situation with obesity in the US, that has been repeatedly reported, enough to make it now common knowledge.

Anyone want to decipher this?

Can EKGs read by AI save lives? It's possible, researchers say

More proof of AI replacing humans in the healthcare industry.

Can't complain about good surf.

So people are switching to a relatively healthier style of celebrating and somehow this is seen as a problem?

As the article clearly reads:

means more woes for the already ailing food and beverage industry.

AI will write its own rules. It is already replacing humans in jobs in many industries, such as healthcare.

Still, the best and healthiest way to weight loss is exercise and eating properly. It's cheaper than this new drug, which is backed by the FDA.

Researchers will have to figure out where their understanding and computer simulations went wrong, Newman said. 

As is typical in the sciences, the scientists get it wrong very often, as seen here according to the experts.

We included 151 adults ages 21 to 70 years old with chronic back pain. We found that 66% of participants reported being pain-free or nearly pain-free after pain reprocessing therapy, compared with 20% of people who received a placebo.

Nah, there are so many medical conditions that would cause back pain.

A qualified physical therapist can help in a much more evidence based approach, chiropractors unfortunately have the unnecessary baggage of the disproved subluxation theory in their practice 

No, because chiropractor's focus is the spine whereas a physical therapist does not have the specific training a chiropractor does.

And there is no disproved subluxation theory. The theory is alive and well.

"You stop your anthropogenic activities for a brief moment of time and the atmosphere cleans up very, very quickly and the temperatures jump instantaneously," 

As we've seen recently the scientists are not always right.

Still thinking global warming is a hoax?

*While the OIV speaks of extreme weather events affecting production, they have *yet to definitively link it to climate change, 

I have had lower back pain for 40 years but I have it under control.

Sounds out of control.

I have an extra vertebra in the lower lumber.

No you don't.

The article does not mention plants in the Amazon rainforest.

Plants in the rainforest make up some of the 375,000 world species.

Thousands of plants in the Amazon rainforest with medical properties still need to be researched and written down. Only 1% of the known plant and animal species have been thoroughly examined for their medicinal potential.

No.

There are about 375,000 species of plants.

*the practice of herbal medicine entails the use of more than 53,000 species*

In the future, maybe to a degree, what is clear is that this has not happened yet, AI can at much perform single tasks, not enough to replace humans that have to do different tasks in their daily jobs, as the professionals in health related fields do.

AI has already replaced humans in several job-related areas, in modern countries.

So, maybe in your location it will take a few more years.

Researchers will have to figure out where their understanding and computer simulations went wrong, Newman said.

The experts got this one wrong.

Unnecessary worrying by some.

"High birthrates" is not a goal itself, specially if it comes only as a consequence of poverty and other factors that make difficult to raise the children to adulthood.

It is not a consequence of poverty in Yamanashi as the article clearly states.

Don't trust them.

Which do not support your claim that any camera (not just the one you want to assume she "must" own instead of a phone) would have made that walk unnecessary, distance is not the only reason why people would need to move to get a better shot.

You're wrong, This would not have happened if she had a regular camera--in fact--it didn't.

It happened because of her smartphone.

The mood was not subdued at all. It got a little crazy at times, but still remained safe as always.

No one was concerned about an Itaewon-like event because that would require someone to make a comparison with two different geographical conditions and two different cultures, which would be a giant fallacy, such as engaged in by the Shibuya mayor and his delusion.

No such thing, a rational prediction about something not completely understood was wrong, nothing hyperbolized or overblown about it, it is simply that not enough variables have been identified to make a precise projection for this, but pretending the science was predictably wrong from the beginning (without providing evidence of this being the case) is not a rational position to take.

This was proven to be overblown.

Luckily the natural volcano effects did not cause any damage.

Mother Nature is unpredictable.

In Japan, there are no central heating systems with radiators.

There are if you can afford one.

Turkey is known for producing some of the best olive oils in the world. In fact, the country is the fourth largest olive oil producer in the world, and the quality of its olive oils is highly prized by chefs and consumers alike. Extra virgin olive oil, in particular, is a type of olive oil that is made from pure, cold-pressed olives, and is considered to be the highest-quality olive oil available. It is also the least processed, retaining all of its natural, healthy vitamins and minerals."

Sorry clippety, but it is now extra virgin.

It is Sizma.

*Natural Pressed, EVOO (Naturel Sızma): **Natural pressed olive oil is the equivalent of extra virgin olive oil. It is completely raw and never treated with heat or chemicals. It also has the lowest acidity levels (0.8% or lower) and a high nutritional value. *

Careful - some of the cheapest olive oil is not entirely olive oil

This is correct.

Buyer beware.

Whatever it takes to sell more of our wine.
