This has been around a long time and I’m not seeing anything new in this article, this seems like mostly regulatory changes nothing actually medical. This is effectively a pancrease transplant, and the problem is that type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. That means there are only two viable options, permanent immuno-suppresents with the many many many terrible side effects that involves, or incapsulating the pancreatic cells in some kind of membrane that isolates them from the immune system which introduces its own set of potential complications. Either way this is far from a “cure” and is at best an alternative treatment, and a highly problematic one at that.
As the arctic ice continues to accelerate it’s thaw, water levels will rise a foot in the next 30years. This is going to continue as temperatures rise. Better move to higher ground Florida. Your state will look like Atlantis in the next 100-200years.
No see, governor rick scott (Republican) banned his administration from using the term climate change, just like governor desantis (also Republican, surprise surprise) banned covid. So Florida is safe from both of those without any action required. Freedom!
tldr they found in their study that alcoholics/people with AUD can drink 50% more (7-8 drinks) and be twice as intoxicated , as compared to standard drinkers and alcoholics at 4-5 drinks, where the alcoholics were comparatively much less intoxicated than ‘standard drinkers’ (I think this implies that alcoholics do have a tolerance to alcohol but tolerance is not linear)
When they drank alcohol in our study at a dose similar to their usual drinking pattern, we saw significant impairments on both the fine motor and cognitive tests that was even more impairment than a light drinker gets at the intoxicating dose.
So at the “standard” drunk level of 4 drinks, alcoholics are less impaired, but when alcoholics drink more than that they are more impaired than a “normal” drunk person.
So alcoholics can have a higher tolerance for base consumption, but when they pass that they go straight to trashed.
That’s not quite right. Alcoholics do tolerate lower level of alcohol (4 drinks) than normal people. But once they get to 8 (which they do - remember these are alcoholics) they don’t get more drink than a normal drink person but they are more than twice as drunk as before and they are less drunk than they really are.
The point is that alcoholics are not MORE drunk than non alcoholics on 8 drinks. They are just as hammered (but not more) than non alcoholics. The problem is that they THINK they are not as drunk while a nonalcoholic may recognize their impairment
I don’t see that going well for those headscarf police. The populace isn’t putting up with it anymore. Those police are going to be beaten up pretty badly at least.
