      I‘m still surprised that wasn’t creepy to me. It was rather really fascinating. A couple days later the healing process had reached the point where enough connective tissue had built up to stop this movement, and I felt kinda disappointed. =D
      Once in a lifetime experience. Would not recommend (having an organ removed that is crucial to your survival).

      It’s the small intestine that can be returned in the abdomen and reposition by self per say. The large intestine must be oriented correctly. The risk of bowel obstruction and discomfort is the best option, while necrosis is the worst case. In other words if it’s not put back correctly you’ll be full of shit and in pain, or using a colostomy bag.

    • @ericlamb4501
      @ericlamb4501 Год назад +20

      I don't know who noted it first, but my guess would be because it's essentially a semi-rigid fleshy tube in a liquidy environment, grown to a specific-ish shape, air and other stuff running through it kinda bends it back to how it's supposed to be. Closest thing I can think of as a visual example would be a self coiling garden hose. When there's water going through it, it expands into a hose to use, once empty, it coils itself back up. It goes back to its shape without outside interference cause that's the shape it "knows", being coiled up is how the material is in default after being made in a factory. Same applies to the intestines, they have a "factory default" shape in your stomach and at least the short intestine is malleable enough to unwind and then return to shape.

    If they took over human bodies again, though, then it's likely they'd also have similar issues to what this alien had- not being able to kill, succumbing to poopoo biological traits, etc.

      The only reason I can give in this case is that it's just tradition for this species sense they aren't used to actually encountering resistance like "love" and maybe the scout just gives advice on best meat suits.

    She was probably taking Ativan, which is what is prescribed for anxiety attacks. It dissolves under your tongue very quickly and is absorbed into the blood stream, where it proceeds to calm you down and decreases the panic you feel. It is very fast acting, although not nearly as fast as in the movie. It takes about 2 or 3 minutes to dissolve completely and absorb into your blood stream, and then it takes about 5 more minutes to stop the anxiety attack altogether. The only way Ativan could work nearly as fast as shown in the movie, they would need a higher dose directly injected into your IV line.

    Sometimes, a newborn’s intestines don’t get enclosed within the body during gestation. They’re still hooked up, they’re just outside the body. They have to be placed in a special sleeve to keep them moist then suspended over the baby so gravity can slowly pull them into the abdomen. I don’t remember what this is called; I’m not a pedi nurse. Takes a while but then the opening is sutured closed, baby is monitored & goes home after a while, assuming all goes well.

    If the other aliens have the same reaction as this one then I don’t think their invasion would go smoothly. Almost every human has someone they love: a partner, parents and grandparents, offspring, close friends, pets. Unless they assimilate a sociopath or something there is going to be someone out there that any human these things assimilate is not going to want to kill. Even if they go for different species to assimilate they will have to choose carefully. This planet is full of pair and pack bonding species that form close bonds. Seems like these guys would just have to give up at some point and either call this planet a loss or cohabitate with us. Great video as always!

    My partner and I have been together 20 years and love each other like the first day. So I assume the aliens that got us would feel the same. And they are welcome to my chronic anxiety, thantophobia, fear of heights, fear of flying and addiction to sugar.
    Yep, this is the last planet they are visiting.
    They are going to need to assimilate a lot of psychologists.

And sometimes just knowing my medication is in hand and ready is enough to stop me going over the precipice.

    God this reminds me of the Nuerax Worm scenario in Plague Inc. Im more interested in how the invasion would play out. The issue with the Aliens is that they copy Humans entirely, so they attain everything about said person. In this sense, if someone is wired in such a unique way, is it possible that some Aliens would defect and we would get a "Parasyte The Maxim" situation. Some turn to stone cold killers, some remain animalistic and feral, or do some get Protagonist Syndrome and 1v1,000,000. Its such an interesting idea that hasnt been touched nearly enough ever since Parasyte

  • @pedromoura1446
    @pedromoura1446 Год назад +1

    As someone who made controlled trials people read WAAAAAAAY more into what a placebo is than what it actually is...
    A placebo is just a way to account for EVERYTHING that is not the medication or treatment in trial.
    A lot of those results is just stuff we place in the "we dont know" box which is not the same as saying it's in the "mind over matter" box.
    Like how not knowing what happens after death doesnt prove there's ghosts...
    People usually mix it up with the practice some doctors used to have were they gave people useless medication when the patient believed they had some problem so they would stop nagging the doctors or to stop them from doing something stupid that actually harmed them (such as taking non prescribed medication like antibiotics).
    That was called "giving them a placebo" as in "something that does nothing at all" but since it changes their behaviour that change might actually do something or make people believe it did something despite doing absolutely nothing (like flu medication. it does absolutely nothing that cures you. it's just paracetamol and cafeine to keep you pain free and awake while the disease runs it's course).
    TL;DR below:
    If you were trying say...a cancer treatment...saying to a patient that they're not getting a test medication that could potentially save their life could induce a lot of psychological (anxiety, anger...) and behavioural (not eating correctly, taking other medications...) responses that would eschew the results in favor of the medication being tested.
    Even letting those who apply the placebo know that they're doing so is enough to cause changes in the results (in one case it was found out that they didnt take as much care in their cleaning routine before interacting with the patients as they believed they were dead either way and in another the caregivers were more likely to suggest alternatives to the medication in trial).
    This was subject to a lot of studies and even more after finding out that the simple act of making the patients take a sugar pill with a glass of water is enough to see improvements not because they BELIEVE they're getting the medication but because they wouldnt be drinking as much water if they didnt have to take the pill and the extra hydration helps.
    This lead to the discovery that a lot of medication and procedures we used were actually far less effective than we believed them to be (a great example being Vertebroplasty which was believed to be an effective method to eliminate back pain in people that had compression damage and yet we now know that despite it improving your posture and looks it does nothing to remove the pain itself which is most likely caused by lack of musculature in the area causing excessive localized pressure on the nerves)
    As an example there's a great study on the effects of acupuncture on pain management and there were 4 trials.
    1- people were given acupuncture by professionals
    2- people were given acupuncture by paid actors who just placed needles at random places.
    3-people were NOT given acupuncture, just pinched in the same spot were the needles would be placed by the professionals to make them believe that they were pierced by needles.
    4- people were given pain meds.
    This study is interesting because despite medication being clearly the best option for pain management hands down (like...80% better) there seemed to be no difference between being pierced by needles by a professional or an actor BUT there seemed to be improvements over only being pinched (even if the pinch was in the same place were you would place a needle).
    Further studies were recommended of course but the study seemed to conclude that there was a small improvement (1% if i recall correctly) if you were stabbed with needles when compared to NOT being stabbed with needles.
    Does this prove acupuncture is better than pain meds? absolutely not.
    Does it prove acupuncture is better than nothing? also not (1% improvement is well inside the error margin)
    It only proves that placebo trials need to be as close to the real thing as possible to account for all the external factors.
    Otherwise we could be giving people medication with severe side effects when better ones are available.
    This also helps us learn about other subjacent mechanisms that would actually help (like drinking water).
    There's other examples like nuns in the UK living longer than normal people, which doesnt prove religion makes you live longer. just that their lifestyle is healthier somehow...
    Anyway...the point is...the placebo effect is not magic nor "mind over matter". it's just a set of stuff we dont know acting in ways we cant control that can create statistical abnormalities.
    There might be genetic factors, there might be differences in eating habits, there might be aliens making people better for fun...we just dont know...
    And so we remove them from the equation by making a controlled trial that makes everyone act as similar as possible as if they were making the real thing.
    THAT'S a placebo.
