Abstract Background We compared fatigue severity in breast, prostate or colorectal cancer survivors 5–16 years post-diagnosis with cancer-free controls, and examined factors associated with fatigue and its association with all-cause mortality in survivors. Methods Participants of the CAncEr...

We already had a paper about MS and childhood trauma a few years ago, from Norway (probably unsurprisingly): https://www.s4me.info/threads/association-of-adverse-childhood-experiences-with-the-development-of-multiple-sclerosis-2022-eid-et-al.27536/

Yes, I agree with this and even made a point about it in my last comment that I'm not talking about long-term. However, the impression I got from the above comments is that this (struggling to do the same strength training exercise 2 days in a row) is something that "should never ever happen" to...

Yes, you can improve well if you regularly work out. I was commenting on what the personal trainer said that he was surprised that you needed rest and couldn't repeat the workout without rest as a beginner and that you couldn't lift the same weight the next day. He may not be familiar with...

That's a rather odd statement from a personal trainer about beginners making constant progress, because in reality beginners often struggle with pretty bad DOMS lasting for days when they start, since their muscles are not used to strength training. Training regularly reduces the likelihood of...

Yes, we do need those trials, the sooner the better. Some people in my group believe it seriously helps people, based on anecdotes in social media and unscientific surveys and they are always looking for doctors who would prescribe it. And of course the doctor who does prescribe it here is an...

Ali-Reza Mohammadi-Nejad, Martin Craig, Eleanor F. Cox, Xin Chen, R. Gisli Jenkins, Susan Francis, Stamatios N. Sotiropoulos & Dorothee P. Auer Abstract The impact of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic on brain health is recognised, yet specific effects remain understudied. We investigate...

Structured Abstract INTRODUCTION Regeneration, an apparently beneficial trait, is well maintained in some animal lineages but has been lost in many others during evolution and speciation. A complete rescue of organ regeneration in mammals with limited regenerative capacity has not yet been...

Patric Meyer & Ann-Kathrin Zaiser Abstract COVID-19 has been linked to acute and long-term cognitive impairments, including memory and concentration deficits, as well as neuropsychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression. However, the neuropathophysiological mechanisms underlying these...

I don't have the energy to read this article today, so I can't say anything about its content but I'm sharing it as it looks interesting. From Long Flu to Long COVID: A Brief History of Postviral Illness Despite centuries of examples, long-term maladies after flu and other viruses remain...

Also, I don't know about other countries but here you need qualifications to become a medical translator (or any kind of specialized translator). I think this means a university degree in that language + additional specialized training and an exam at the end. This may vary in other countries but...

I have only skimmed it through. I found this part odd: "Factors which may indicate a better prognosis: - Early diagnosis with appropriate identification and management of any other factors – physical, psychological and/or social – which may be relevant. - An acute-onset illness, often...

Though this may be the reasoning behind the fact that the original paper has not been corrected (which I don't actually know, this is just speculation). "Professor Edwards was right but it is just imprecise phrasing, nothing serious."

I have checked the original. In Hungarian there is no ambiguity about what they mean by misinterpretation in that sentence. They mean that their own imprecise phrasing may look like a misinterpretation. They don't mean that their sentences were misinterpreted by others. They mean their sentences...

For people interested in the text behind the paywall: as I said earlier, I happen to own an English translation of the response, which I'm not going to share publicly. I accept messages though. ;)
