It looks to me from the Bolognese paper that 'functional cranial settling' means where the clivo-odontoid distance reduces on sitting but there is...
The reason why surgery mostly prevents worsening, rather than improving symptoms is that the symptoms and signs of CCI, at least in cases with...
Just a note about 'CXA'. I had not heard this term before coming on ME forums. It means clove-axial angle and I can see why it might be thought...
Hi @debored13, I have been away from the forum for a day or two. Thank you for your apology a few pages back. I also apologise for sounding...
I am not confident that 'this country' is any worse or better than any other. My impression is that specialists who use the ME/CFS terminology...
Only what people say. I am not suggesting it is always delayed. This really the problem with any attempt to pin down what a syndrome actually...
Yes, it would be the concept of a common (in the sense of co-similar) pattern of long term disabling illness not explained by some specific...
I don't think clinicians should learn to diagnose from pamphlets by and large. I would be very wary of any pamphlet with that title. Learning how...
I am afraid that is now as clear as mud Jen. We need some proper data gathering. One thing I would like an answer to is whether traction is...
A GWAS study on a large cohort assumes that the genetic difference is a statistical population one - so certainly not homogeneous. The issue is...
Well we have the ME Biobank and the hope is to expand that considerably as part of the MRC study.
But now they don't, or at least not JenB. In a recent post in response to my comments she indicated that CCI surgery has nothing to do with ME...
I should perhaps add that the crucial experiment here, with cross-linking of amino acids in a whole protein and then mass spectrometric analysis...
A nice piece of science I feel bad constantly pointed out how rubbish scientific papers are. But here is what looks to me to be the most...
I don't think you realise what a large proportion of people in scientific research have no real idea what they are doing. If one is going to have...
This really just repeats this statement: Our hypothesis is that, in a substantial part of patients with ME/CFS, there is narrowing in the...
I hate to be negative yet again but I am afraid your enthusiasm is misplaced. The hypothesis here is so vague and lacking in scientific...
Dear @Irishwasa, Thanks for giving your viewpoint. Nobody here bites heads off but we like to be able to give our honest views. As you probably...
In simple terms there is a big segment of a particular chromosome (I think 6) called the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) - which means 'the...
I cannot remember. And to be honest I am not motivated to try.
Separate names with a comma.
