Adventure (fanfic) novel (chapter 34). [1] Guy gets hit by some kind of energy beam, falls down, paralyzed, no heartbeat, eyes not responsive to light, stiff as a board, seemingly dead, or else tonic immobility. Medics arrive and they find a normal EEG, i.e. the guy is alive despite the paralysis.
Would paramedics/EMT's usually carry EEG equipment and know how to use it? EKG maybe, but I thought EEG was much more sensitive and anyway there is no CPR analog for head injuries. So this EEG seemed a bit out of place. Of course it's fiction, but it is generally pretty careful about stuff like this. Thanks. 2601:644:8501:AAF0:0:0:0:86EA ( talk) 09:41, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I'm trying to identify a biological database. I recall a scientist from the EU (I think) talking about a database (which is available only to researchers) which has been collecting samples over the past few decades from healthy volunteers - the same people every period of time - and their DNA, RNA and proteins were sequenced. They also collect other health measures. This allows retrospective research, say an individual was diagnosed with a certain disease, the researcher can look back and see when things started to go wrong. Does anyone have any clue which database this might be? Or maybe a publication that used such data? 2A01:6500:A042:E362:5864:707B:9DB7:B12A ( talk) 12:38, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
