Yes. Whether it was designed that way or not, encouraging patients to be more conscious and aware of their symptoms means they're much less likely...
The citation of the Ithaca College study brings up another potential confounding factor. The ramping of the workload can differ between...
As is often the case, the ones who frequently talk about the failure of cartesian dualism are closet dualists themselves.
Have you done the test yourself? How do you know what to expect? It is quite possible that participants were no longer encouraged once they had...
I talked to Max Nelson about this (several years ago). An increase in peak workload on subsequent tests is actually common in healthy people,...
That is what the evidence in this study suggests.
Simply put, this means that the level of cardiovascular fitness was not related to PEM in this group of patients.
It's funny that the journalists are not reporting the fact that one dose of Pfizer had greater effiacy against hospitalisation than two doses of...
If it was due to genetic factors, it could affect many cell types and still likely cause an imbalance in blood plasma...
What about a hypothetical circulatory "danger response" that has the function of lowering circulation through capillaries, with the purpose of...
The problem is, that it doesn't really explain anything. How are the "non-essential energy-consuming processes are throttled down"?
Is it really that curious? A large majority do not report significant improvement or recovery and there are no controlled studies to suggest it...
Yes, both sorts of hypotheses have been made for a variety of conditions over the last few decades. There still seems to be a lack of strong...
We have to perform more studies to find out, but I detailed several general explanations in my previous post.
Is this the first questionnaire used for ME/CFS patients where they have bothered (or are planning) to test face validity?
If he used a juice fast or homeopathy during his spontaneous recovery, would people be taking him so seriously?
Besides age and sex (and hormonal variances), there is likely some degree of genetic variance (and an effect of fitness, but this can sometimes...
This also reminds me of the people who were asking whether participants were already suffering from PEM during the first test. So in that case it...
Graded Exercise Therapy is technically still a Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, albeit one that focuses primarily on behaviour. A pure exercise...
A very high RER (>1.2) suggests significant hyperventilation. This could be due to a high rate of respiratory compensation. Unless it was a...
Separate names with a comma.
