| Why neuroimaging is not used for mental disorder diagnosis? Posted: 01 Jul 2020 04:47 AM PDT Why do we still use questionnaires rather than brain imaging to detect mental disorders? Questionnaires seem likely to be affected by biases one has, whereas brain imaging would be more objective measure of the disorder, as I understand. For example in ADHD, as I understand, there are well-documentated differences in the prefrontal cortex, for which diagnosis could be made. I imagine that with neuroimaging we could help people before their life starts to fall apart before they have to come to the realization that something is truly wrong. We could also decrease misdiagnosis. Whenever I have filled a questionnaire, often recent events would create a huge variety in how I would respond to a question. Sometimes I would have extremely positive outlook, sometimes not. Sometimes the question can be interpreted in multiple ways, and then you have to figure which answer to answer. It seems to me that undiagnosed or misdiagnosed mental disorders impact one's life much more than likely costs of the better precision of diagnosis. So why neuroimaging is not the first step in disorder diagnosis? Is it less reliable than I believe it is? Is it expensive, if so, how much more expensive is it? Is it still unproven?

| Posted: 30 Jun 2020 11:09 PM PDT I hope people can understand my question (english is not my native language). I was curious to find out about how the virus would look like if cytokine storms wouldn't happen. How deadly would it be for the elderly ? Are there other causes for tissue damage ?

| Are there non-threatening pandemics? Posted: 30 Jun 2020 09:55 PM PDT Are there viruses/bacteria/any infections that spread widely through the population without posing concerning or damaging symptoms? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2020 07:23 AM PDT We know how many percent of stars in milky way are yellow dwarfs, red dwarfs and red giants. But do we know many percent of planets in milky way are terrestrial, gas planets and water worlds (ocean covered planets)? [link] [comments]  |

| Do viruses have any means of exchanging genetic material with one another? Posted: 30 Jun 2020 01:00 PM PDT My understanding of viruses is that they do not reproduce sexually or asexually, rather they reproduce parasitically. Through any part of their lifespan can they do something along the lines of infecting another virus or hijacking the same cell where the result is a new virus with traits of both? Or is all viral evolution the result of random mutations making future offspring more or less likely to survive? [link] [comments]  |
| When did they first discover or speculate space? That we're suspended in an endless void? Posted: 01 Jul 2020 12:18 AM PDT It seems to me to be a pretty big jump from the physical reality a human is presented with on earth to come up with the idea that you're actually on a sphere suspended in a black endless void. Who was the first to do this? What did they think? Did they think space was blue? Did they think stars were small? [link] [comments]  |

| Couldn't we teach the immunity system how to deal with different types of cancer cells? Posted: 30 Jun 2020 09:49 AM PDT My understanding of the immunity system is that it can learn and remember what new and different types of unwanted organism or cells are in the body and as such can deal with them and in the future keep dealing with them, and my understanding of cancer cells is that they manage to hide from the immunity system, so why wouldn't it be possible to take cancer cells and teach a healthy immunity system how to deal with them, similarly as to how AI (machine learning/deep learning) learns with either getting a reward or a punishment, couldn't we use this method of teaching to force the immunity system to learn that there unwanted cells present, basically if the immunity system doesn't do anything it gets punished for not doing anything, but it also gets punished if it attacks non-cancer cells and only gets rewarded for attacking cancer type cells? Edit: Thank you all for your answers. [link] [comments]  |
| Did Noah's biblical flood occur? And if so could it have been in the Black Sea? Posted: 01 Jul 2020 04:40 AM PDT I was scrolling threw facebook and suddenly l saw someone talk about the Black Sea and how there was a huge flood a long time ago. Could it be the Noah's flood? I think it can be because one of the first civilizations started around the Balkans! It is such a random topic but l though it was interesting to discuss. [link] [comments]  |
| What state of matter are clouds? Posted: 30 Jun 2020 12:57 PM PDT My senior asked me this because their biology teacher asked them what clouds are. Are they gas, solid, or liquid? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2020 09:11 AM PDT Media frequently employ fear-mongering to drive page visits, sharing, and ultimately acquire ad revenue. Additionally, public health officials frequently give extremely conservative statements about the scientific understanding of a disease. By this point, a few large studies from multiple groups have identified stable humoral immunity throughout the convalescent period (e.g. 1, 2, as well as several smaller studies) with perhaps one recent smaller study contradicting this using distinct methodology that as far as I know is not commonplace in immunology in the context of measuring humoral immune responses. In these discussions concerns about the presence of 'memory' lymphocytes are raised, and it seems these claims are made on the basis of very small cohorts of recovered SARS patients lacking memory B cells. However, multiple studies have by now identified CD27+ B cells (3, 4, 5) and T-cells(6) in those recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The latter finding is consistent with previous studies on SARS and MERS, although little has been done to investigate memory B cells in MERS and as far as I can tell only one study investigated memory B cells in a small cohort SARS patients, finding none. It seems to me that the current discussions regarding the long-term stability of SARS-CoV-2 immunity is essentially just media and a few bad actor research groups feeding on fear for publicity, as well as public health officials doing what they do and getting the public to drink the Kool-Aid as with the mask effectiveness stuff. Am I wrong to have this impression? Is there precedence for CD27+ B- and T-cells disappearing after the convalescent phase in any other viral infections? References: [link] [comments]  |
