Sounds a bit like Lord High Everything Else (Pooh-Bah from the Mikado). A one woman multidisciplinary team no less.

Full marks for the comprehension, @Trish Now turn over the paper and do the vocabulary test.

Intersubjective quasi-hermeneutic normative drivel.

Nobody knows for sure but if you go on the basis of what is much most likely a booster is very likely to stop you getting a nasty illness. I would take the data on antibodies and stuff with a pinch of salt. We know the vaccines provide immunity in the sense of reducing the likelihood of being...

Which year were you thinking of? Might be a draught down a chimney though. (As long as Snow White isn't doing the washing again.)

The winner is probably a jolly good sort but Tracey Brown of SAS says: “The shocking thing about what Elisabeth is doing in challenging fraud and misrepresentation of scientific findings is that this is something that most people think already happens. Only it doesn’t. And in fact she has been...

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/dec/01/misinformation-fuelled-by-tsunami-of-poor-research-says-science-prize-winner Read and enjoy the ironies. Apparently the message of a bad paper can now be spread through the internet - something that was never so before. Well, there was the Lancet.

We were talking to a young couple who are local friends this weekend. They are around 35. They got Covid despite to vaccinations and they said it was truly awful. OK they are alive, but not something they would want again.

You may be right, the abstract is potentially confusing. But why would panic attack patients hyperventilate on this test? Panic attacks usually occur at unpredictable times. I also think there is a major problem with suggestibility in this sort of study. If POTS patients know that their...

Well they have made a start. They will need to read my book before they can really get it right though!

So that is what is so puzzling - that they did tell them to over breathe as far as I can see. I guess they had to tell the panic patients to over breathe to order so they did the same for POTS patients. But if over breathing is a problem for POTS patients it will be an involuntary problem, surely.

FOI request: Who got it so wrong? Response: We all did. (And anyway we were already doing what the new guideline that we are so cross about says.)

I don't get the relevance of the first study. It seems the patients were told to overbreath upright and then they looked at the pattern. That seems to me a totally artificial situation that is unlikely to tell us anything about their illness. Panic patients would be likely to reproduce their...

What they are describing here is unrelated to POTS. And only a small minority of their post-Covid patients had it

Maybe move the little marks around a bit: 'It's Deconditioning' = Stupid

Is there really anything solid on this? It sounds implausible. Is there any published literature?

Yes, that is so in the UK too.

I have not seen any literature on this but I am sceptical about the idea that a respiratory physiotherapist can achieve anything for someone hose breathing seems 'a bit all over the place' - or for that matter shallop or deep or whatever. Are you sure this is not just selling therapy for the...

Well, you said it.

It says that they would like to say that a load of researchers have said that lots of patients have said they got better after having a treatment that encouraged them to say they are better. More proof that patients will say they are better if they are told to.
