The area postrema, and the anatomy of an unwanted effect
Delayed gastric emptying is a mechanism that becomes an adverse effect above a threshold. It is not a complication in the ordinary sense.

How a single percentage came to stand for quality
This piece takes the measurement apart into the decisions it is made of, because each decision moves the answer.
Why the bone question is harder than the muscle question
A plausible mechanism, a measurable change, and no outcome data. This is what an open question looks like.
Specification and result are two columns, and only one of them is a measurement
The arithmetic of significant figures, applied to a document that routinely reports four of them.

The online reseller trading as Adamant Research Supply closes after 3 years
A proper account of an operation that existed, and of what closing it cost.
Maintenance dosing: what is licensed, what is practised, and what is evidenced
Every withdrawal trial compared full dose against nothing. The clinically interesting comparison — full dose against a reduced one — has not been randomised.

HbA1c and its lag: what a result three months old is telling you
HbA1c integrates roughly three months of glycaemia with the most recent weeks weighted most heavily. Almost every misreading of it is a misreading of that weighting.
Accreditation, scope, and the question nobody asks Medutest
A manufacturer’s certificate is a self-declaration. An accredited laboratory’s report is a third-party measurement. The trade prints both under one heading.
