@Paddler, thank you for being here and telling us about your experience. And thank you for volunteering for the study. If I had been eligible to...

Thanks Evergreen If I sort the data by trial number, I see that, for each trial, the reward amount is the same, and the probability of the reward...
There is that Jason et al study of OI in Me/CFS just out The Head-Up Tilt Table Test as a Measure of Autonomic Functioning among Patients with...
10 minute tilt, POTS defined by heart rate increase >=30 bpm OH decrease <=20mmHg in systolic blood pressure or <=10 mmh/g of diastolic blood...
The team must surely be amassing so much useful information about how to run a GWAS for ME/CFS (and a GWAS in general, and an ME/CFS registry, and...
Very good points. Check out this paper, from 2013, my first hit from google: Diagnosing Postural Tachycardia Syndrome: Comparison of Tilt Test...
Thanks SNT. The interest in this paper is because the NIH Walitt et al paper reported the slope of the Dimitrov Index.
:) Yeah, if we take those words at face value, then that would make the HV's stupid and the PI-ME/CFS participants smart. Because, if you are...
On the Dimitrov index, a number of the interesting papers are paywalled. But this one isn't: Muscle conduction velocity, surface electromyography...
B. Repetitive grip testing, electrophysiology, transcranial magnetic stimulation Note that only a subgroup of the participants did the experiment...
There were a number of grip strength experiments. A. grip strength, time to failure B Electrophysiology and repetitive grip testing; Transcranial...
Yes, I think we do need to look into this. I think they may be assuming that tests are more certain than they actually are, I've seen references...
Differences in mean BMI - LC=34; ME/CFS=31; control =24 Could that affect dexterity? The study itself doesn't have any electrophysiology stuff,...
Notes the multiple overlaps of LC with ME/CFS Notes that ME/CFS is a debilitating condition Notes that there is no known cure or definitive...
You are right, I had misremembered. What differed, in the same way as the ages, is the proportions in different categories. There were quite a...
@tuppence - Thank you for your wisdom, care and kindness.
Yes, but it is even worse than that. People with MS have a validated, socially sanctioned disease. People with ME/CFS, well, we have to deal...
I thought this was a nicely done study from a Polish team. Just a measure of muscle performance in Long Covid but competently done, with no...
(a late cross-post with SNT - apologies for any repetition) Polish study Hospitalised Covid-19 patients, but not severe disease or significant...
