comment on [Medutest] split one vial across two services, results within 0.9% in c/labresults · 1 points · 11 days ago
below-spec results get logged, not dismissed
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on shortage: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/glp1aus · 6 points · 15 days ago
Yeah, the 2024 rule change was sudden.
comment on [Baseline] units differ by country, post your reference ranges or nobody can help in c/bloodwork · 13 points · 15 days ago
ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it
comment on shortage: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/glp1aus · 16 points · 16 days ago
Yeah, the 2024 rule change was sudden.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Lane Report] Tianjin → Canada, 14 days, two of three vials cracked in c/intlshipping · 11 points · 18 days ago
Australia to Australia: CPC with 9 days is the average, variance is 28
comment on [Lab] my running table: 34 tests, 11 vendors, three years in c/labresults · -11 points · 19 days ago
testing the vendor claim versus testing your actual vial are two different posts
comment on [Data] packaging quality by vendor, scored on five things, 60 shipments in c/intlshipping · 6 points · 21 days ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about EMS in c/intlshipping · 151 points · 27 days ago
Actual days or estimated?
comment on [Discussion] the ferritin advice in here is 19 years out of date in c/bloodwork · 152 points · 1 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 14–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
comment on [Medutest] SWB sema — 98.2%, cold chain intact, 9 days transit in c/labresults · 8 points · 1 months ago
Strongly agree. Below-spec results matter as much as good ones.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring small molecule at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/orforglipron · 1 points · 1 months ago
phase 16 data is interesting, phase 27 will tell the real story
comment on is it normal to get constipation at week 64 in c/orforglipron · 3 points · 1 months ago
Yeah, small molecule changes the whole game.
comment on three years of EMS threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/intlshipping · 52 points · 1 months ago
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on 2 months in and mg/mL is still the thing I get wrong in c/reconstitution · 46 points · 1 months ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on does orforglipron actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/orforglipron · 38 points · 2 months ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on insulin syringe is the most under-discussed thing in c/sideeffects in c/reconstitution · 25 points · 2 months ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is bacteriostatic water. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on why does nobody talk about TGA in c/glp1aus · 9 points · 2 months ago
TGA shortage notices are temporary
comment on unpopular opinion: reconstitution is massively overrated in c/reconstitution · 17 points · 2 months ago
5mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 5/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
comment on three years of baseline labs threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bloodwork · 9 points · 2 months ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
comment on ATTAIN — 3 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/orforglipron · 10 points · 3 months ago
small molecule, not a peptide, purity discussion is different
