I wrote in my abstract that “Medication X was not associated with significantly different subjective or objective sleep outcomes compared with medication Y.”

One of my co-supervisors suggested instead saying that “Medication X and medication Y showed similar subjective and objective sleep outcomes.”

Would you make that change? I’m hesitant because, methodologically, I’m not sure that a non-significant difference allows us to conclude that the outcomes were “similar.” Or am I overthinking this?

Thanks a lot! 🙏🏻

Hi all!

I’ve been on finasteride only for about 4.5 months and I’ve already gone through three major shedding phases.

Before starting treatment, my hair loss wasn’t that noticeable apart from some thinning at the front. Now my hair has become see-through all over.

For those of you who experienced shedding on finasteride only, when did you start seeing regrowth of the hairs you lost?

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi!

Who is the best barber in Tashkent?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

I’ve been on finasteride for about four months now - the first three months at 1 mg daily, and for the last couple of weeks at 0.25 mg daily.

I’ve noticed some thinning in the frontal area to the point where my hair now moves in the wind. Before treatment, the texture was much stiffer and my hair hardly moved at all.

Has anyone experienced something similar while on finasteride? And did it get better?

Hi!

Anyone tried to split passengers and make an open-end ticket for the other passenger with Pegasus (It’s not a flexible ticket) - what will I get back? Is it only the airport taxes?

Thanks a lot!

Hi there!

Any anectodal succes stories with finasteride only when caught early? I only have mild recession and some thinning - can I expect some regrowth? I have only been on fin for 2,5 months so I know I need to be patient until the 12-18 month mark.. just curious!

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

If I have several parameters that show a moderate - to large effect size but a high p value.. It’s an exploratory study so it’s basically hypothesis-generating for future studies.

For example: Cohens d is 0,64 but the p-value is 0.62. Or Cohens d is 0,88 in another metric and p value is 0.3.

Sample size is n = 13.

I’m unsure how I should manage the data systematically. Would you for example just report all effect sizes over 0.5 regardless of p value? (Nothing in my trial is significant)

I hope my question makes sense. Thanks a lot.

Hi!

If the sample size is very small (n = 13), with n = 7 in group A and n = 6 in group B, and the study compares two different treatments, would it make more sense not to adjust for age and gender in this situation?

Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone!

I’m planning a trip to Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kirgisistan) this summer and would really appreciate some feedback on my itinerary 😊

Current plan:

23/07: Tashkent to Samarkand (evening train)

24/07: Samarkand

25/07: Fly to Almaty

26/07: Almaty city

27/07: Medeu + Shymbulak (+ possibly Big Almaty Lake early morning?)

28/07: Charyn Canyon

29/07: Fly to Bishkek

30/07: Bishkek / Ala Archa National Park

31/07: Song-Kul

01/08: Song-Kul

02/08: Back to Bishkek

03/08: Bishkek

I’m mostly interested in nature, landscapes, and some city life.

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏
