Drug raised HDL levels, didn’t alter outcomes (death) re heart attack/stroke

Another study?

I thought the last one covered this?

>>Another study?<<

You can never have enough papers published. It’s the currency. More papers = more prestige. Bugger the value.

Publishing of negative results is the new black.

It dilutes them to the point of worthlessness.

Good Morning Holidayers

25 .8 and 71% humidity, it managed to get down to 25 overnight. It is expected to reach 33 today which appears to be one of the cooler temps for our area.

For me, it’s hair day :D

HDL does not stand for Hair Day Lily

Nope. Stands for ‘Harsh, Dropbear; Like.’

Another $200 poorer!

That’s why I like being a bloke…$20 for a haircut…job done
My stylist is from the UK, I *think he might be gay…not 100% sure, but he gives good haircut and charges a bargain price.

$20! Jeyzus…

I bought a good pair of clippers in the early 90s and haven’t paid for a haircut since.

Husband’s haircut – about once a week at home with clippers.
Mine – every now and then at supermarket hairdresser, about $20 including a nice tip.

I trim my own fringe when it’s in my eyes.

(Aquila – why mention the hairdresser’s sexuality?)

Damn it! Wrong thread :P

“Editors should seriously consider for publication any carefully done study of an important question, relevant to their readers, whether the results for the primary or any additional outcome are statistically significant. Failure to submit or publish findings because of lack of statistical significance is an important cause of publication bias.”

It really is the new black…

I think there might be a couple of words missing in the first sentence. It doesn’t quite make sense.

Editors should seriously consider for publication any carefully done study of an important question, relevant to their readers, whether the results for the primary outcome or any additional outcome are statistically significant.

Any better?

>>whether the results for the primary outcome or any additional outcome are statistically significant.<<

I think it needs an ‘or not’ on the end.
