I’m a practicing prosthetist in the US. Myoelectric hands are nothing really that new and even getting control over the hand by surgically dropping an emg directly into the muscle groups (though their diagram implies they did something different) isn’t terribly groundbreaking. The FDA had that technology in animal testing right around the start of the pandemic, from what I remember talking to an engineer working on a project.

For me, the exciting part is the osseointegration through the forearm. Osseointegration has been going on since like the 90s, but for a long time it was only through the femur. The first reason is really that the West has way more lower limb than upper limb amputations which is a different story. The second reason is that the femur is a big bone with a lot of interior space for an implant to anchor.

Recently I’ve been seeing transtibial osseointegration surgeries being performed, which has been a pretty big deal. This is the first I’ve seen of it being done to a transradial.

I will definitely be reading more about this at work tomorrow.

The answer: a malicious contributor added hate speech to the Ukrainian translation. ISO will cover back up once they can go through all of the files and make sure there isn’t any they didn’t find at first.

So we shouldn’t tax cigarettes then? It sounds like you’ve identified that addiction can quickly become a public health crisis if wealth inequality could cause addicts to choose their vice over food. We could fund programs to help addicts get help, but we would need to raise tax revenue.

We’ve seen it? Where have you seen it?

It’s a stupid question because you obviously and constantly encounter communism or because your conviction is stronger than your argument?

Oh? And where do you experience communism?

A crown prosecutor told the court the woman’s role in the plot was to obtain the drugs for Knudson to sell inside the prison, where a single strip of buprenorphine can fetch close to $1,000.

As said in the article, yes. Prison prices.

I also thought it was a fascinating read and wanted to comment, but your comment made me scroll down and now I don’t even know what Linux is anymore.

From like 1904-1906 Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle to show how the happily non-regulated meat market was running behind the scenes. The result was America saw a huge decline in red meat consumption. There’s a moral standing at f not letting other humans be treated that way, but more to the point, people got a peek on how their meat was processed and packaged in terms of sanitation and food safety. The contents of the novel were confirmed by a third party investigation. It led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug act in 1906, which laid the groundwork for the FDA a couple decades later.

So yes. The government absolutely should be involved in food. We’ve had them involved for the past, oh, century or so and it’s why you can buy ground beef with the basic assumption that it won’t make you sick.

Because Guillan-Barré Syndrome causes generalized muscle weakness which means difficulty walking, speaking, and swallowing.

They want private progress. They want to be the industry leader in whatever it is. They’re not progressing humanity, they’re making a great fiscal quarter.
