Aspirin does lower stroke risk its just not as effective as anticoagulation. For people with increasing risk, anticoagulation is recommended (chads2vasc of 2 or more)

Reply to comment by thissexypoptart in Researchers find that outdoor cannabis can "express more cannabinoids with potentially desirable bioactivity" compared to cannabis cultivated indoors under artificial lights. by OregonTripleBeam
Well, if outdoor plants optimally grow in some type of soil, but indoor plants optimally grow in another type, then it makes sense comparing both optimal growths.
Otherwise, you’d have to compare them when grown in soil that benefits one type.
Its kinda like trying to compare Brazilian MMA fighters vs Thai MMA fighters and then saying the comparison is invalid because they ise different styles, well obviously Brazilians use BJJ but Thais use Muay Thai..

Because they aren’t specifically testing outdoors va indoors in the exact same conditions, but testing outdoor vs indoor in their typical conditions.

Uh, because science like a thing called a control? The natural sunlight plant is the control. It's just written science these days conflates the difference between a good paper and a marketing paper.

Because we have studies showing that people who consume less processed foods, who have maintained their traditional cuisines, live longer on average than people who eat highly processed Western diets.

It’s tongue in cheek.

I was on Lovenox for a over a year. It ended up causing significant bone loss. My primary doctor never mentioned this risk to me; it was disclosed when I went in for lab work. I have always been a clotter though. I now take only aspirin. I'm just sharing MY experience with it; not trying to dispense medical advice or cause fear. I urge your wife to talk to her doctor and perhaps have bone density before / after tests.

The design of this study doesn't demonstrate that at all. Because they didn't control variables like soil composition and nutrients, the light source might have absolutely nothing to do with it. These results could be 100% driven by nutrient availability, or any of the other variables they didn't control.

Serious, are micro cotten or other natural fibers much less damaging to humans?
Don't want to assume natural = better.

Please read beyond the headline. This paper was studying clot prevention in a very specific patient population, those who had bone fractures in the lower extremity. It excluded pregnant patients, because almost all studies exclude pregnant patients.
Your wife taking LMWH is probably for a very different reason. Aspirin should be avoided in later pregnancy unless advised by your physician.

Enoxparin is one a several formulations of LMWH. But I think it’s the most widely used.
Also unless your wife has lower extremity fractures this article doesn’t apply to her so she can rest easy.

So the two categories of “blood thinners” are anti platelets, and anticoagulants. Aspirin is in the former group, while drugs the article is talking about known as novel oral anticoagulants or NOACs include drugs like apixiban, dabigatran etc. in the latter.
If you have a fib something called a CHADS VAS score is used to determine your risk for a thromboembolic event and wether this outweighs bleed risk. If you have a CHADS VASC >2 in men or >3 in women then NOACs are superior to aspirin in preventing thromboembolism, although aspirin may still be used in addition to NOACs if you have say coronary artery disease.
However, at the moment standard of care for prevention of a recurrent stroke, is using dual anti plalet therapy (DAPT) clopidogrel + Asprin- see SAMPRIS trial.
So aspirin still can have its place but there’s a lot of nuance in deciding the medication regimen for someone.

Maybe because you can reverse heparin with protamine but youd have to do a platelet infusion to reverse aspirin which can take much longer to procure than just dialing up a bolus of protamine.
This has strong clinical importance in real life where youd want to prevent clotting intraprocedurally and then reverse it immediately to prevent hemmorhaging and hematomas.

Enoxaparin is a drug in the sub-class of drugs known as low-molecular weight heparins.

We can say that it wouldn't lead to the same result. There have been numerous studies linking highly processed foods to disturbances in the gut microbiome that lead to inflammation and chronic diseases which are far less prevalent in societies that have maintained their traditional cuisines, free or nearly free from highly processed foods.

I never imagined I'd read anything like this on a science thread.
