It means going beyond "maybe this could happen" to confirming that it does happen or alternatively disproving that it could be what's happening....
I think it's a potential piece of the puzzle which has been presumed to happen before in one theory of autoimmunity, but not actually observed as...
http://sci-hub.tw/http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/jnnp-2016-314080 It's a case study involving 3 patients, without much more detail than is in the...
No doubt a perfectly innocent Dutch colloquialism ... but I prefer to interpret them as having (or being) big asses :cool:
An exception might be made if there is an official investigation of fraud. Though that would presumably be done by parties appointed by a court or...
It would be a serious ethical violation and probably a legal one as well, to alter or deliberately omit things. Basically the consequences would...
Excellent work, @Lou Corsius! The translation is pretty comprehensible already. Though the guest "Short shot" is actually Jeroen Kortschot.
Reading and thinking is hard work! Spouting opinions is so easy that any idiot can do it, as Gunderson is thoughtfully demonstrating :rolleyes:

That's a lot better than starting with fatigue ... and I like the emphasis on "ability" rather than just doing less.
You're right - it would also make far more sense to use an infection which is commonly accepted as a trigger for ME/CFS. EBV is one, but that...
Not really. Their theory seems to be that thoughts alter the physiology, and that the physiology can be returned to normal with therapy. It's not...
I still want to know who wanted the functional (psychosomatic) control group, and why it was initially included.
Basically another central sensitization theory - definitely psychosocial. And combined with an apparent determination to keep using Oxford...
So stay-home-and-die therapy "works"? :-P But on the plus side, most of the dinosaurs pushing these interventions are old enough to soon be a...
