I am not dismissing a priori but I am pointing out reasons why we should be very sceptical. This is not a new generation of physicians. The...
I don't really understand this. CCI is a situation where bones are moving abnormally in relation to each other - right? Bones show better on plain...
Thanks for pointing out the citation. Henderson again. I find this underwhelming. There is pretty much nothing in it I have not been aware of...
No, I think not. Both doctors and patients get the syndrome of ME right before they ever heard of it. There were people with ME in 1979 (and...
No it's the Crawley paper that has been a year, not the Segal paper - that has been about a week.
Thanks @Stewart (sorry not Stuart), It is useful to get your impression on the history. The clinical picture of CCI has been around for 100...
I didn't look very hard but wondered if it was just a Monsanto press release under a cover name.
One further thing that has not been mentioned is that the complications of upper cervical surgery may develop over many decades. Once the...
@Stuart, I think there is a problem with the concept of 'cervical medullary syndrome' as used by the neurosurgeon Peterson. I don't think most...
No, you have hit the nail on the head. Physicians and surgeons have been dealing with tens of thousands of cases of CCI, of known cause, over...
@debored13, I will put some further comments on the other thread started by Michiel to separate this from reference to any individual PWME.
I think you are right to call these recovery stories both for the reasons you give and because in both everyday and medical usage we use these...
Yes, but like anchovy sauce, moderation in all things is best.
Two thoughts. One is, as I put in the post, this may well not be a placebo effect but an effect on CNS function. When I was given my hearing aids...
The images here are straightforward. They show narrowing of the spinal canal in all cases. A plain x-ray would have been just as good to show that...
I was saying that my own paper was crap. This is the paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7332373 The idea of the paper was to show that...
So why did Rodney get me to do a Beighton score on every patient when I arrived fresh as a junior registrar? I don't mean to be rude but I was...
Pardon me for saying but I do know about Beighton, which was used for clinical diagnosis routinely in the clinic I did with Rodney Grahame in the...
I don't see any way of testing it with imaging because current imaging techniques do not show up complex neurocomputational patterns.
As always, my chief concern with all these issues is for the safety of children. It looks as if a parent has already taken a child for a standing...
Separate names with a comma.
