    Apparently the way to deal with spicy foods is frozen key lime pie. The cold helps soothe. The fat coats your tongue, and the capsaicin is fat soluble. The acid from the lime juice breaks down the capsaicin. And the strong sugar flavor competes with the signals from the pain receptors in your tongue to drown it out. Also, holding your nose when you eat helps dull the sensation some too.

    A while ago when I was in the hospital I (briefly) had to have an NG tube placed and it really irritated my throat so they gave me the same kind of throat spray. It didnt really work so I kept asking for more but they had a very strict schedule of how often i could have it, and they wouldn't leave it in my room, I had to ask the nurse for it each time. I got fed up and asked my dad to go down to the pharmacy/convenience store and just buy some for me, but they didnt have any.

    This comment reminded me of an actual case Jean-Baptiste Lully was a composer and conductor. Back in the day, conductors didn't use those little sticks you wave around. They used a staff that they'd bang on the floor to indicate the beat of the song. During one performance, he accidentally hit his foot. The wound turned gangrenous, but he refused to have the limb amputated, and he died. Not quite stubbing your toe on a grand piano, but pretty close I think

There is a story of a girl at a party who got too drunk and ended up passing away in the bathroom, and her friends were having too much fun and figured she was just asleep or something for the whole night, never checking up on her. Ever since that story I've always been proud of friends that are willing to take a moment to check on their group even if it means ending the festivities.

    Similar to the story you mentioned, there is an incredibly sad short documentary about a young man's death from alcohol intoxication at a frat party - you can find it on youtube it's called "BREATHE, NOLAN, BREATHE". That is an example of when friends don't do right by their friends and don't pay attention to warning signs. It's terribly sad, but I think it's a very important film. Truly awful, you're right RJ was very lucky to have smart, caring friends.

But even then, they appear to have failed to convey that he was poisoned with that spray to the doctors in a timely manner, as the case as covered sounds like the doctors were clueless when he came in on what caused his symptoms, tried several things, before discovering that there was a condition which, if they knew the ingested substance, would've been an immediate candidate.

The traditional, academic classes can be available for kids who want to go into the sciences.

    As a chemist in the pharmaceutical industry, when preparing aromatic amines by reduction of a nitro group, it's drilled into our heads to look out for the hydroxylamine and nitroso (+ other) intermediates, as these absolutely cannot be present in the API due to being known mutagens. I've not taken biology since I was in high school so I've never really thought about why they are so problematic, so this was an interesting case study for me on why exactly they're so bad!

    Anything that will oxidize sulfide groups is especially going to be a problem but reduction of carbohydrates and radicalization lipids is a concern too. Proteins are the most studied in terms of ROS interactions as it can cause cross-linking which will miss-fold the entire protein. People are often surprised how damage to just a single residue can be significant but one you study how ternary structure forms, it makes sense. Just a single regular substitution can have significant effects on protein properties. And with a more sophisticated understanding of lipid signaling, it is understood that ROS are major culprits of inflammation.

    If you are referring to the rings in the molecules they are not really themselves "energy levels" they are more stable because the electrons are delocalised across the ring which resists reactions. If you see a ring (aromatic) you can mostly assume a higher stability.

    its actually more correct to think of them as energy levels than rings. The concept of electrons orbiting the nucleus in rings is from a veryyyy outdated model from Bohr. Today we know that electrons exist in orbitals around the nucleus, and these orbitals are basically clouds where the electron probably is located. Different orbitals have different energy levels, so based off of the electron orbitals an atom has, we can predict how certains things will react together.

    Ok, on an atomic level the rings you talk about are "shells" or "orbitals", which are simply a 2d representation of where a specific amount of electrons can be at any point and time. Each shell farther from the nucleus, more electrons can exist in that shell. On the molecular level, the rings refer to aromatics, which is a ring of carbon often having some alkenes in it. Benzene is a good example of this, it is made of 3 alkanes, and 3 alkenes.

    He once mentioned in one of the case that the one he presented includes the treatment possible for the case to be saved where full recovery could be assured. Meaning, the actual case didn't make it. So, there is a probability that other cases are also scripted to include treatments available, but in real life, some didn't make it due to lack of first aid, awareness nor quick response.

We really went crazy with the phenol in previous decades and before quaternary ammonium disinfectants. Lysol had a very distinctive smell of phenol, and I gather it was one of the more common methods for people wishing to do harm to themselves. Reading the old usage suggestions for Lysol is shocking if you look at them today. I will leave it as an exercise for the reader.

    I wanted to thank you. Your videos are partially responisble for my doctor praising me last week. My main takeaway from your videos is that it is in my best interrest to give my doctor as much information as possible. My doctor started me on thyroid medication a few months ago and told me to take note of any changes I noticed. So I did, I sent her an excel sheet with a calender, everything I noticed was there with date and if relevant even time of day. I somewhat regularly take my bloodpressure at home just to know what my normal is, I bought a pulsoximeter when my dad (high risk) had covid to monitor him at home. When the doctor initially asked me to take my bloodpressure for 2 weeks every day she got a printed out calender with date, time and context on it for every messurement, sometimes multiples a day when I was feeling off. In regards to this video: I'll have to watch it a few more times to completely understand it. Partially because english is my 3rd language, partially because I don't have the background to understand it easily. You do a great job with your videos!

While the latter is exactly the same just in German words, thyroid gland in German means Schilddrüse (most direct translation: "shield gland"). I can't find any reason as to why it has shield in the name other than assume that the butterfly-like shape was originally also described as some form of shield-ish shape.
