I had the same thought. The 94% one is particularly odd. "Patient Reported Outcomes alone are sufficient to identify long COVID patients with...
There's some great observations in that table in @SNT Gatchaman's post.
There are a few problems contributing to this I think. One is that so much of medicine is hopelessly out of date. Management systems, and data...
Reply to my email to the corresponding author: Unfortunately no comment on my mention of PEM. I'm not sure why the comment was made about...
No one is silencing papers about hypotheses about ME/CFS. There are plenty of them. It's just that most of them look pretty much the same, and...
Mostly from a North Carolina team, one Liberia-based researcher. It's a shame there is a paywall. They appear to have a very high level of...
Well, like most tools, it could be used in a good way or a bad way.
If I'm understanding right, the researchers seem to be suggesting that acetylcholine produced by the activated T-cells acts locally, with most of...
Mostly Swedish research. This is my understanding of the paper: Acetylcholine causes endothelial cells with muscarinic ACh-receptors that line...
Sure. It's an odd framing, the focus on stopping pandemics. But, the general idea is useful. Teachers in kindergartens are often subject to an...
It sounds really complicated and difficult to plan an ethical trial. And yet, people continue to be prescribed these drugs, probably often...
That's a great letter.
Good on the researchers for publishing their results. I often forget to say that unblinded studies with subjective outcomes can produce knowledge...
It's got all the buzzwords. But there's nothing in the abstract that makes me think this paper is any different to the dime a dozen papers waving...
Thanks very much for your work and ongoing commitment to the cause @dave30th. I've donated.
That's a really good point. If women are more likely to have their reports of symptoms minimised, disregarded and straight out ignored than men...
Re-reading this thread, it seems that a trial of Ativan in people with severe ME/CFS would be useful. There is potentially a clue here, both for...
They do seem to have a point here. If the WHO definition results in prevalence rates of nearly 50% at 6 months, it can't be sufficiently specific...
[ATTACH] Here's an image of part of what is going on, for those of us who remember better with a picture. Sorry about the size but I think it is...
Also interesting. Ugh, there's so much to know and remember. I think I've read and written about integrins before. Activation of TGF- B1 by...
Separate names with a comma.
