Yep :D
A bit like astrology really - make enough sufficiently vague statements applicable to much of the population, and people end up thinking it's science!
I think @Jonathan Edwards is primarily an ally to the truth, wherever it may be found. It is what we all have to be. Why is it not possible that...
It makes me think there is probably a serious oversight with regard to sampling theory in a lot of this. In essence your sampling frequency must...
I can't pretend to understand this, but going by @Snow Leopard's post. Is it more that low cortisol salivary levels are anticipatory of the day's...
Could this also explain the similarity in readings from the A-MDE and CFS groups, albeit for different reasons? Both groups having restricted...
Sorry, crossed wires on my part.
The trouble is the numbering only really gives an illusion of objectivity, a sort of scientists' comfort factor (certain scientists anyway)....
That might be a bit premature? As I understand it this is high risk surgery at the best of times, even assuming a proper diagnosis has been made...
Just a thought on safety you need to consider. Castor chairs can move very easily, and you would only have to unwittingly push a little bit to...
Yes, I suspect people naturally have a poor ability to be consistent over repeated assessments on subjective measures. Some people will be better...
I think it is more like "religious truth", the 'truth' being ... whatever you want it to be.
I suspect Howard is well-intentioned but misguided. Subjective outcomes have their place I'm sure, especially in psychology, albeit backed by...
Yes, exactly - especially when the reason for "not liking" them is because they are flawed, and hence warrant those faults being exposed and...
Badly worded on my part maybe. But the unblinded trials with subjective outcomes may well be relying on inflated results to make them appear to be...
A further thought on this. Apologies if it's repetition of anything in earlier posts. The paper alleges to compare the effectiveness of...
Continue to be seriously ill? I wonder just how many of those "many" end up a lot worse than they otherwise might have been, were it not for...
I think this paper is based on a flawed premise: That if, on average, blinded trials show broadly similar treatment effectiveness to that shown by...
You cannot blind to the fact of receiving IV fluids, but you can blind to whether you are being given any active medication or just placebo, same...
I don't think the ORs were necessarily insignificant, regarding the trial outcomes. It was the RORs that was apparently insignificant - the ORs of...
Separate names with a comma.
