Thursday, 7th November—
Beyond the Indian hamlet, upon a forlorn strand, I happened on a trail of
recent footprints.
Through rotting kelp, sea cocoa-nuts & bamboo, the tracks led me to their
maker, a White man,
his trow-zers & Pea-jacket rolled up, sporting a kempt beard & an outsized
Beaver, shoveling
& sifting the cindery sand with a teaspoon so intently that he noticed me
only after I had hailed
him from ten yards away. Thus it was, I made the acquaintance of... 阅读全帖 |

It was also published under the title Guns, Germs and Steel: A short history
of everybody for the last 13,000 years.[2] The book attempts to explain why
Eurasian civilizations (in which he includes North Africa) have survived
and conquered others, while refuting the assumption that Eurasian hegemony
is due to any form of Eurasian intellectual, moral or inherent genetic
superiority. Diamond argues that the gaps in power and technology between

我对维特根斯坦一直不太感冒。不过昨天看了个8g，太特么神／牛了。。。看完很虚幻。
书作者，就像这里被评价的有点夸张。
不过一战、二战之间的奥匈帝国／奥地利確是很有趣。
顺便再隆重推荐一下，我成年以后唯一记得有印象的长篇小说，奥地利作者robert
musil 的《the man without quantities》（中译：没有个性的人）。
ps，维特根斯坦弟弟paul wittengenstein的故事里，我偶像Prokofiev还友情出演了。
。。
为什么没有我偶像maurice ravel呢？呃，以前就听说paul介个左手刚擎家，当时还想
ludwig witetngenstein他弟很牛阿，看prokofiev的评价，凡事都抗不住有钱。。。

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google
for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies
-- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon
does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a
sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy.
There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can

“还是听那个PI说，有人把免疫系统分为两大分支，一支负责监视寄生虫病原体什么的
，另一支和过敏啥的相关；这两分支相互平衡。最近有报道有人在过敏还是哮喘患者体

个分支抑制后一个分支，结果治好了过敏还是哮喘。。。下一步他/她要做大规模的试

那个PI回来了，问他要消息来源，他说只是听到新闻，不知道是不是正式的文章发表。
于是自己查了一查，他说的那个目前还没找到，但找到几个有意思的报道。

Congenital Hypothyroidism

Endemic cretinism is caused by iodine deficiency, and is occasionally
exacerbated by naturally occurring goitrogens.14
Congenital hypothyroidism can be caused by any of the following:
Dysgenesis of the thyroid gland
Agenesis (ie, complete absence of thyroid gland)
Ectopy (lingual or sublingual thyroid gland)
Inborn errors of thyroid hormone metabolism - Dyshormonogenesis (most cases

就以一般性的回复几句，首先你给的非常有限的病史体检化验结果等等，所以基本上没
人能在这里给你一个诊断。我search了一下，下面是链接以及原文，希望对你能有帮助

microbiology lab later. Many fellowships want an PhD in microbiology instead
of an MD.
Given that, the job itself is not easy. You have to master all the lab
technologies, i.e. you need to know how to do when a senior lab technician
cannot handle the situation. You have to communicate well with infectious
disease doctors, which could be challenging for a PhD. It is a director

发帖数: 9638 | 12 Although what you claimed is right, Lyme disease is atill an endemic disease
. Since my practice, I encountered many claims on Lyme after a tick bite or
something like that, but the number for a final diagnosis of Lyme's disease
is nil. I once diagnosed a patient with ALS, and he went to a Lyme
specialist who told him he has lyume and even got him on the treatment for
lyme. Lyme has been exaggerated too much IMHO. |

discharged. Of course you would also want thin and thick blood smear to r/o
malaria since the presentation can be very similar.
Reason this case was interesting to me is that the patient's symptom
basically started on day 14. Classic teaching has been if the fever starts
14 days after the patient has left the endemic area then Dengue can be
excluded. He was right on the cut off. |

前两天看到的一个关于世界二十五种最濒危的灵长动物的帖子，看到第一个猴子的图片
一下子就被吸引了。它有一对扇风耳，一双滚圆的眼睛，一只可爱的鼻子，一条长长的
刷子似的大尾巴，双手双脚紧紧地抓在一个树枝上面。这种猴子名叫Rondo Dwarf Gala
go (Galagoides Rondoensis)，在网上查了一下，中文翻成了一个很拗口的名字：绒哆
倭丛猴。
绒哆倭丛猴是一种体重仅两盎司（六十克）的小型物种，属于灵长目原猴亚目，和狐猴
、懒猴、眼镜猴等萌物们亲缘关系不远。直到一九九六年人们才知道这类物种的存在，
并从那时起把它们视为丛猴种类中最小的一种。如今绒哆倭丛猴已经从濒危类变为极度
濒危类动物。
绒哆倭丛猴的大眼睛和大耳朵不单单是用来卖萌，主要是用于在夜间活动，吃昆虫和果
实，而白天它们就会搭一个窝在树上睡觉。绒哆倭丛猴居住在非洲大陆坦桑尼亚海岸的
一些旱生森林中，它们的家并不需要多大的地方。尽管有些这类森林是在国家公园的范
围内，然而，人类的开荒活动，不管是为了种田、还是获得木材和木炭，让它们的小小
家园变得支离破碎、狭窄不堪。... 阅读全帖 |
