Item 2 made no sense to me, so coming back to this. RER at anaerobic threshold is, by definition, 1. So those numbers that are reported cannot...
Obviously the Minister doesn't know much about LC. But I do sort of sympathise with her not wanting to make a commitment on a radio programme,...
Yeah, when 12 decent controls can't be mustered up, it really doesn't send the message of 'We understand that this a a major global social and...
Six patients were reinfected during the study period. There are more women in the Long covid group, and the average age is different, so these...
Currently, a preprint. The abstract is a bit confusing; it's hard to know what is happening in various subsets. 15 hospitalised Covid survivors...
Fair point, the participants should have been given a chance to provide feedback on the article. But at least these authors recognised that the...
[ATTACH] This finding about antibody secreting cells looks nice and straightforward. Black healthy controls on the left, pink ME/CFS on the...
I thought this was a really nice paper, easy to read, and clever science. Whether it will pan out, I don't know, but it looks like a good lead to...
There was that work being done to diagnose people with Parkinsons by smell. If their guts are producing hydrogen sulphide, that might explain why...

I think there might be something wrong within the paper too. The discussion suggests that reduced effector molecule expression in memory T cells...
I don't think that news release is right, is it? I don't think there were lower levels of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Rather, there were lower levels...
Blood tests Sounds as though all of these were unremarkable. Symptom assessment Just noting that the NIH didn't bother to assess for PEM, or...
An alternative way to phrase that finding would be 'Just over half of the participants had a history of depression/anxiety before COVID-19. Also,...
I'm not sure I'm following. These authors actually said 'address social risk factors like food security'. They included quotes where the...
Some data out for the NIH ME/CFS study too - discussed here: USA: National Institutes of Health (NIH) intramural ME/CFS study
Thank you Brian! A quick summary: HC = healthy controls ME = ME/CFS Figures in brackets are probably SD unless otherwise specified I've bolded...
The OMF webpage about this or related research by this team gives some information e.g.
Conference abstract Introduction: Mechanisms underlying exercise and orthostatic intolerance in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome...
This is exactly why I get a bit annoyed with people who try to suggest that people with ME/CFS need a huge amount of education by health...
