There was nothing generous about it. I guess the broad grouping may have been driven by insurance politics as much as lazy mindedness but I don't...
Ah, maybe we are being unfair, or maybe not. Edit: on reading it seems not.
I think there must be a typo there @Michiel Tack: Rona Moss-Morris, Professor of Psychology as Applied to Marketing, Head of Health Psychology,...
That sounds good enough - presumably S4ME can apply to attend scoping as and when, if such things exist under lockdown. Unless of course...
Interesting. Sounds as if it could be a can of worms that needs a bit a sorting out. Did S4ME get an email as a potential stakeholder?
But that is the point. When they believed patients were 'misreporting' the patients were reporting exercise intolerance. The BPS crowd wanted to...
Yes Jerome emailed yesterday to say he had finally got a result.
I also think there may be a confusion over the intentions of the PACE authors in recruiting. The impression may be given that they were just...
This comment relates specifically to the breadth of the definition for inclusion criteria. There is nothing scientifically wrong with using broad...
It may be a practical shortcoming but it is not actually a scientific problem. In all science you have to cast your net wider than the conditions...
Yes, although their hearts may be in the right place I get the impression that they have no idea of the weakness of virtually all physio trials....
I wouldn't know but the CDC claimed they were biomedical, not BPS. I am afraid that small poor quality studies have been the rule from centres...
I spent ten years asking haematologists if any of the bortezomib drug family would deal with residual plasma cells in autoimmunity, and I asked...
Unfortunately it is remarkably difficult to demonstrate exactly what T cells are doing wrong. T cell populations in blood look pretty normal. T...
It is almost certainly what is going on in psoriasis, and the seronegative arthropathies, like ankylosing spondylitis. Nobody knows what the...
There are certainly a group of doctors who take a psychosomatic view. However, I know of many physicians who do not. They simply do not know how...
I agree with you that autoimmunity is not ruled out. It is just that the clues that suggested it have not panned out. The serendipitous finding of...
As far as I know bortezomib does not kill a high percentage of non-malignant plasma cells. It is used to kill neoplastic cells in myeloma. If it...
Yes, but I would not confuse that with the popular 'qualitative approach' as recently promoted as an alternative to proper controlled studies....
All I can say, having been there for thirty years, is that however much this might seem useful, it isn't. I worked on RA without the benefit of...
Separate names with a comma.
