Yes, good question, it would be useful for people to have a handle on this. Immune cells / white blood cells in general derive from bone marrow...
This is the problem. It seems unlikely that other cells/systems can do that. The genetic material should not be changed. The effect should be...
High hydroxyproline levels would be an effect of collagen breakdown, not a cause. But in any case it makes no sense to relate collagen breakdown...
I believe that there is a rare syndrome reported in young children where pharyngitis appears to be followed by cervical instability problems. I...
I think the answer is that by and large virus infections do not cause structural damage to tissues, except sometimes epithelia like skin vesicles....
I appreciate your explanation is very helpful @Woolie but cognition is neural as far as I am concerned. I realise that I may be seen as a...
Don't be so sure. I am certain that LP will have been evaluated along with everything else for evidence and cost effectiveness by NICE. If it...
I am not sure that 'comorbid autoimmunity ' or mast cell activation makes much sense though! I agree with Dr v E that feeling bad is often part...
Presumably Dr van Elszakker is not familiar with the reason why we use rituximab in autoimmunity. It is to remove clones making the autoantibodies...
I have every reason to think this is the case. The suggestions of an association look to me highly unreliable. PEM involves a worsening of...
A search of Ehlers Danlos and cervical (without compression) brings up the Brodbelt review and the Henderson review of Chiari cases. Nothing else...
A PubMed search of EDS and brain stem returns no papers dealing with CCI.
I have done a PubMed search on Ehlers Danlos and cord compression. There are 5 papers in all. 1. Case report of cervical vertebral anomaly (not...
I might add that so far in all these discussions I have not yet seen an MRI image on someone with ME or EDS with actual brain stem or cord...
As I understand it BAI is basion-axis-interval. As far as I am aware the best way to measure this would be on plain x-rays of the sort we have had...
So maybe there might be a clue in the everyday experience of PWME? Is it possible that PWME recognise that certain sorts of memory, e.g. from...
Not sure how you can randomise if there aren't even any controls?!
This looks like bad methodology to me. A study like this needs to be done on a strict population based cohort with matched controls from the same...
I think Marco was referring to the suggestion I had made in the post he quoted. We need an experimental neuropsychologist. Maybe @Woolie would know?
Can you quote anything specific?
Separate names with a comma.
