They should have just stayed away from all of these poorly defined terms and just stuck to the actual (very limited) findings.
What really sickens me about all this is the insistence that what they are doing is in the best interest of patients. It takes a whole other level...
Their evidence for this is we just made it up.
Great, an economics task where your data is removed if you utilize the economically optimal strategy. How this kind of test can be seen as useful...
From the perspective of a healthy control, the aim of the game has to be to maximize the reward they receive. From this perspective it makes...
Perhaps, but I'm not convinced. MRI is a sensitive indicator of swelling and damage in the brain. It doesn't seem to be as good at detecting what...
I think it is more accurate to say it describes something which we do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that it occurs.
I agree with everything you said. Especially given that it was a 21 year old guy who figured it out, there is no way he didn't at least mention...
They were certainly told this before hand "Participants were told at the beginning of the game that they would win the dollar amount they received...
That's awesome, I think that's exactly what's going on. The authors concluding that this is a test of effort preference when the optimal strategy...
Definitely or as others have mentioned it might not really be relevant at all. Perhaps having to worry about the real threat of PEM causes that...
[MEDIA] This video seems to be a pretty good summary of the literature already out there. These are the kind of result the NIH should have tested...
This all begs the question: what should we ask the NIH to follow up on? And if there is nothing in the paper that warrants follow up study, what...
Thanks for taking the time to respond EndME. I think your points are very reasonable and help clarify the issue for me. As always so many...
I am genuinely curious why is a control group useful in such a study? To me it seems like the purpose of this paper was to figure out what...
That seems to be correct. They don't tell us what % of people had excessive orthostatic tachycardia at 40 minuets, and don't even specifically...
If someone naturally has to do things to prevent themselves from fainting in everyday life, I would argue they should not be a control in a ME/CFS...
Interesting, I assumed that a healthy person couldn't have such an increase in heart rate. It is also possible that these aren't false positives...
This seemed bizarre to me so I decided to do some digging. They don't include any of the tilt table data in the Supplementary Data and except in...
What do you mean by finding any differences? What are you comparing between the people did 1 CPET vs 2? The people who did the 1 day would still...
Separate names with a comma.
