Looks very useful to me. The supplementary material includes the full questionnaire. It consists 55 concrete questions about activities where...
Strange that only 0.4% of their sample developed Long Covid. Many patients might have been overlooked by the healthcare system or remained...
It seems that the last author published 78 papers in 2022, or about 1 every 5 days. Does not give much confidence that he has methodology at heart...
The authors also write about another study in 12-16 year olds: Specifically they found 9% of antibody-positive children had at least one symptom...
Also strange that they don't cite the Lifelines study (Ballering et al. 2022) which found: In 12·7% of patients, these symptoms could be...
Yes that already indicates that this paper isn't about increasing quality standards. The paper by Matta et al. is probably more flawed than...

Frustrating article. The journalist doesn't seem to do any attempt to figure out what is going on or what the truth is. They just quote the...

These statements are also quite remarkable: "Persistent fatigue also occurs in many other illnesses [7,10–12] and is therefore unlikely to...
They also write: "By contrast, the approach often recommended by the public narrative of inactivity, isolation, and sensory deprivation, risks...
They write (my bolding): "As a Consortium of researchers, academics, and clinicians interested in the causes and treatments of fatigue and...
Interesting that they state it is 'necessary'. It feels that they are one step away from admitting they are measuring placebo effects.
Yes interesting that they (think they) found differences in objective findings from exercise testing but for questionnaires, quite the opposite of...
Don't quite understand why the group effects in table 3 show no significant differences, while the text says: "A group effect was found for...
I had a brief look at randomized controlled trials on Mestinon (Pyridostigmine) to treat orthostatic intolerance. I found one on orthostatic...
Same here.
I suppose this is the 'propaganda trial' that we previously discussed?
Ketones are a type of chemical that your liver produces when it breaks down fats. Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long...
