Is it? News to me. I am not even sure what such a 'balance' would mean.
I don't think anyone is suggesting that randomised trials are randomised in the sense that you are meaning, @rvallee - ensuring that they are a...
I have not read the paper either but the suggestion is that oxidative stress may contribute to symptoms in ME/CFS, GWI or fibromyalgia. I have no...
But that is handwaving, surely. I spent my life working out specific inflammatory effector mechanisms, having been trained in the experimental...
I doubt this paper actually says anything new and it looks to me as if they have none of the detail and sophistication of the studies in the...
I am afraid I don't think this works. Renovascular problems with renin hypersecretion do not stimulate an immune response. In scleroderma it is...
Maybe not in the same way but the team here are very impressive in their coverage of relevant papers. I think we may miss one or two things but...
That reads like a very long student essay, with very little insight into the real problems. Worth remembering that most reviews now are written by...
I am not aware of any competent trials since 2021. What matters more is that they are properly controlled and if necessary blinded. Randomisation...
I wouldn't take too many of those accounts seriously, especially when including imaginary diseases like Shoenfeld's ASIA. Gulf War Syndrome...
The article reads very much like a ChatBot answer I am afraid. It is full of medical jargon and much of it has no evidence base or real meaning....
I think that is unlikely because conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are irreversibly progressive in a way that ME/CFS does not appear to...
I suspect this is another little piece of the jigsaw rather than a huge breakthrough. Unfortunately the press report makes no real sense so one...
It seems fairly clear to me that different people have different concepts of PEM here. Not surprisingly, perhaps. The OI in question was OI...
But (assuming this is exertion induced) isn't it not PEM because it got better quickly, not because it came on quick?
What may be useful to remember is that doctors devise clinical terms for two quite different purposes. They may use the term as a diagnostic...
If I can get my act together I may publish it open access on Qeios by about May. It can be linked in here.
Plasma viscosity became a popular alternative to ESR in some pathology services probably because it is cheaper and less susceptible to artefacts....
I think the problem is that you cannot 'define' things that way, @Trish. You cannot define something as 'usually this'. You can describe it as...
That is what they measured but what is 'oxidative stress'?! Is it a state, a result of something, a tendency, a cause or what? If it is something...
Separate names with a comma.
