Surely the arrows are better placed like this. (Yellow arrows added) Or maybe their final image should be at the start as leading to everything...
First, the stats suggest many of the findings are iffy (though of course there is the problem of teeny sample size meaning true effects will be...
[ATTACH] I hadn’t notice that: this is classic “ME is the result of deconditioning“. it shows the authors haven’t grasped the importance of...
Thanks. I guess regardless of its purpose, the battery of testing is also likely to be more challenging for PwME than for healthy volunteers,...
Autonomic dysfunction in ME/CFS Tilt table testing found no POTS or OI differences with controls. However, they also found reduced baroslope,...
"exposure of brain endothelial cells to serum from patients with long COVID induced expression of inflammatory marker" Interesting, though I...
Going back to the idea of effort preference, are the reported differences trustworthy? I've not read the paper yet (it's ***ing huge), but these...
Credible mechanism for how 'effort preference' issues could explain PEM & relapses? I queried how simply pushing overriding 'effort preference'...
For this to be credible, we need an explanation for PEM and relapses. If our body was fine and the problem is with effort preference (or even...
A muted response from Chris to Science Media Centre Prof Chris Ponting, Chair of Medical Bioinformatics, University of Edinburgh, said: “This...
A rather poor New Scientist piece:...
If we look at MS - a widely used comparator to ME - about half of people with MS report sleep problems. In other words, lots of people have MS...
That's a good point and a great idea. It also shouldn't be too hard to do. Ideally looking at prevalence in both healthy and sick comparisons.
Yes, the comparison with other illnesses would be very interesting. However - 1. Clinicians who came up with these definitions are presumably...
Which aligns very closely with the Institute of Medicine case definition (I think the only difference is that this allows orthostatic issues in...
I did wonder about that, but I don’t think you pursue an NIH grant for a dead duck. And it does seems to have come down to the fact that RE no...
A few thoughts I don't understand why tenure was quite so big an issue. Every academic wants tenure as it gives them security for the rest of...
The studies were of viruses in either serum or plasma and didn't look at PBMCs (though you might expect infected PBMCs to shed viruses if the...
Barbara Stussman of NINDS had previously published an underwhelming Focus group-type study of PEM, though maybe this one - which seems more useful...
Yes, especially for Bath and Bristol. I’m sure the local presence of Action for. ME is fact as well.
