Revisiting: Protein density versus volume when you cannot eat much Replied, post #95 · Nutrition & Training › Protein & intake · 23 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Adding the measurement that post #94 says would settle it. The mechanism is not mysterious. Substantial energy restriction with inadequate protein and no resistance…
Follow-up: Prior authorisation: what the criteria usually require Replied, post #84 · Access › Insurance & coverage · 19 Jul 2026 · 9 likes Post #81 is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition. The question underneath Prior authorisation is usually "how would I tell?" rather than "what is…
What a certificate commits its issuer to Replied, post #42 · Analytics › COA interpretation · 16 Jul 2026 · 6 likes Adding the measurement that post #41 says would settle it. Endotoxin testing is separate: a certificate of purity says nothing about endotoxin. A chemically pure…
[2026 update] Antibiotics and a course of something with delayed emptying Replied, post #47 · Practice › Interactions · 15 Jul 2026 · 24 likes Confirming post #46 from a second method, which matters more than confirming it from a second person. Since Antibiotics keeps coming up, it should probably be a…
What a good consultation looks like from the other side Replied, post #59 · Clinical › Prescriber conversations · 14 Jul 2026 · 1 like On post #57 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification. Prescription logistics: confirm whether it will be filled locally, requires mail order, or will be…
Insurance and replacement policies, compared Replied, post #69 · Sourcing › Logistics · 7 Jul 2026 · 31 likes Document outcomes rather than forecasting them. A forecast in this category reads as reassurance and is not one. I would be interested in a counterexample if anyone has…
Rotating between abdomen, thigh and upper arm: absorption differences — one year on Replied, post #89 · Practice › Administration · 3 Jul 2026 · 0 likes I had read the opposite somewhere and cannot now find where, which tells me something.
Revisiting: Why the absence of controlled human data on BPC-157 matters more than people… Replied, post #10 · Compounds › Repair & healing peptides · 2 Jul 2026 · 14 likes Marking my place. If it changes for me I will come back and say so.
Official shortage notices and what they authorise Replied, post #117 · Access › Shortages · 20 Jun 2026 · 0 likes The thing about official shortage notices that took me longest to accept is that a plausible mechanism is not evidence of an effect. It is a reason to look, not a result.
Second pass at: A pooled estimate that changed when one trial was added Replied, post #31 · Evidence › Meta-analyses · 15 Jun 2026 · 19 likes Answering the question post #29 raises rather than the one it answers. The forest plot ordered by the variable you think explains the spread is more informative than…
Books and papers worth reading that are not about this at all — one year on Replied, post #8 · Lounge › Off topic · 14 Jun 2026 · 19 likes Loosely related and not worth its own topic: the vocabulary here has leaked into how I read everything. I now notice when a press release gives a relative figure and no…
Private prescribing in the UK: what is actually involved Replied, post #38 · Regional › UK & Ireland · 14 Jun 2026 · 3 likes Private prescribing is legal and widespread, including through remote consultation. Pharmacies must satisfy themselves that a prescription is clinically appropriate.…
