I have made some comments and provide some excerpts from Tyson's 'The vicious cycle...' paper here: The vicious cycle of [FND]s: a synthesis of...
This is all dyed-in-the wool, BPS play book stuff. We see these points repeatedly in papers as FND proponents wring their hands about how better...
FND is clearly conceptualised as psychogenic. Using metaphors to describe the illness and being confident in the diagnosis are regarded as...
From the introduction: It seems the authors, including Sarah Tyson and the Masters student that she was mentoring, believe that misdiagnosis of...
If it was that, that would be ok. But it also calls for this in a situation where actually no one knows enough to provide any guidance. Feelings...
This post has been copied and following discussion of FND moved from: UK:ME Association funds research for a new clinical assessment toolkit in...
A member has reminded us that Professor Sarah Tyson has co-authored publications on FND. The vicious cycle of functional neurological disorders:...
Yes, me too.
Top differentially expressed genes [ATTACH] Fig 4 looks a bit more exciting. The heat map is the difference between each group versus the mean...
PCA analysis The PCA is in Figure 2 - there's no separation of any of the groups, despite the axes accounting for a lot of the variation in gene...
The 13 differentially expressed genes are between the SARS+F+ group and the SARS+F- group. That's good. Although 20 people is not a big sample.
So SARS+F+: 20 participants SARS-CoV-2 positive; high fatigue (numerical CFQ>=21); meeting WHO PCC and Fukuda criteria SARS+F-: 20 participants...
:rofl: for the cat, and :rofl: for the fact that the abstract is three paragraphs long, but only addresses the title in the very last sentence....
I do wonder about the informed consent - did participants really understand that the results would be used to try to label their fatigue as a...
Onto interpretation bias: The problematic information processing biases are taken as a given in ME/CFS, with the aim being to compare and...
that can't be viewed outside the UK - what's the gist?
That's a sad story. The following paper says there isn't one particular part of the brain that causes neurogenic stuttering and even a small...
Ah, thanks @Andy, I had missed it. I'll merge them.
Thanks for posting the article. I've been working through blood pressure issues for and with my Dad. He's been tried on a few new medications to...
Good to have you here JoClaire I think it is really hard to prove that ME/CFS isn't an FND while there is no diagnostic biomarker. Even then,...
Separate names with a comma.
