I may be missing something but if the patients were selected from an autonomic specialist centre wouldn't one expect most of them to have...
I think it would be useful to know if anyone actually knows what they are talking about when it comes to a possible role for 'vagus nerve...
I think that hits the nail on the head. If you actually unpick the text it is a mess of non-sequitur arguments.
The meaning seems to me quite clear - that MS was commonly called a hysterical conversion disorder. Surely that means that people think MS is...
There are lots of complexities around the diagnosis of marginal cases but they don't alter the fact that Van Elzakker's comment is nonsense. No...

Sorry I meant non-non-pharmacological, as opposed to non-pharmacological.
I have come across lots of Hoovers that don't work but have a working mechanism.
I think Doctors with ME have this OK. When I came to understand that there is a specific syndrome of ME with PEM and unrefreshing sleep I was...
BY far the most likely explanation is that the effect is due to the unique ability of EBV to 'cyber-attack' the entire antibody producing process....
My concern is about the loose language in the abstract and muddled thinking the may be behind it - both of which are now common in immunology in a...
I think a low-level of naive T cells in blood is quite hard to interpret. My immediate reaction is that the most likely explanation is that the...
