Reply to comment by ChrisHinde in ELI5 how do 3D glasses (to watch 3D movies) work? by curiousnboredd

so technically I can watch a 3D movie with no 3D glasses if I cover one eye right?

to clarify my question: how is it that 3D movies look so distorted but when you use the glasses you can see it well. what do the glasses do exactly to make that happen?

Reply to comment by TRJF in Can you (roughly) determine the dosage of a drug taken based off of the blood concentration? by bynarie

is this an example of high sensitivity and low specificity? Since you can determine a positive for sure (the 80X example) but can’t determine if the negative is truly a negative or false negative (the latter example)

Reply to comment by Citrownklown in What is a neurotransmitter "turnover rate", with reference to acetylcholine? What does it mean if the turnover rate is increased or decreased? by yungPH

iirc Botox causes muscle relaxation (opposite to tetanus which cause contraction) so wouldn’t that mean it causes a decrease in acetylcholine and increase in acetylcholiesterase?

to add: or having hemoglobin but it’s not functional (in sickle cell anemia for example) or the RBC keeps getting destroyed (hemolytic anemia)
