Certainly the ideas about prevalence and diagnostic criteria in this paper look worth talking about. The problems with English in that second...
This study will be discussed at the next IACFSME Journal Club. 1 pm 14 April New York time. Slawomir Kujawski, PhD Nicolaus Copernicus...
Yeah, when I answered those questions, I assumed it meant having defined subtypes e.g. for severity: mild, moderate, severe, rather than...

Resignation syndrome is discussed more here: Resignation syndrome (sleeping beauty syndrome) and on other threads with the 'resignation syndrome' tag.
I thought the survey was ok. There is room for comments. I'm not too sure how useful the results will be. If a majority of people want a...
The authors seem to flop about in numerous paragraphs on the question as to whether exercise helps Long covid and, particularly, ME/CFS. It's as...
That's how they defined ME/CFS-like symptoms - fatigue (or muscle fatigue? it isn't clear) symptoms greater than a 5 on the 1 to 10 scale; mild...
They excluded people who were unable to score 75% of the maximum score - because they could not highlight the presence of mild cognitive...

I think I have seen that the non-classical subset of monocytes is typically 10% of the total number of monocytes (classical + intermediate +...
Therefore I think non-classical monocytes maybe were not investigated in this study, certainly not individually. This study has been cited as...

The 2022 Klein, Iwasaki paper did a similar analysis, but crucially also with a group of healthy people who had recently had Covid-19 (healthy...

I've been meaning to come back to this study, to see how strong findings other than the cortisol result look. CC are healthy convalescent...
Yes, exactly. It's entirely circular. I think the following is right: They had 99 people with self-reported symptoms consistent with Long Covid...
