Oral ketamine
Why isn’t oral ketamine commercially available?
I use it, although quite sparingly mostly because it seems experimental at this point. I’m using it primarily for opioid resistant cancer pain, CRPS, neuropathic pain resistant to standard anti-epileptics, etc. I use a compounding pharmacy that makes it into sublingual troche or lozenge.

Chemotherapy-related side effects: Accommodations in Med school?

I'm coming off treatment soon and due...

Wet or Dry Lab Research?
Hello! I’m currently in the 2024 application cycle and wanted to do a research while waiting for interview dates and in case for reapplying.
I have an opportunity to either work in a dry lab or a wet lab. For the dry lab, I would be completely using coding like python for biomedical dataset analysis. I started learning coding a few months ago and thought the research was interesting as it analyzes datasets of cancer and other diseases of real patients.
The wet lab is a neurophotonics lab...
