Of course in that thread, there is some guy telling Kate that the solution is to walk/jog 10,000 steps per day. :confused:
Psychosocial factors certainly affect the reporting of symptoms on symptom questionnaires as stated in the conclusion, so without objective signs...
The slightly elevated cytokines (IL-6) etc are typical of acute infections with some inflammation and don't suggest a "cytokine storm" syndrome,...
Indeed, but it shows some relationship between thermoregulation, vascular regulation and exhaustion which may be interesting (if not applicable to...
Note that a lower p50mito means the mitochondria have greater oxygen affinity, which reflects excess respiration capacity. Unless the participant...
From 2018, David M. Systrom interviewed by Llewellyn King. [MEDIA]
Notably the study revealed that 99% of patients seroconverted, a number of people are being falsely diagnosed with COVID19 (they probably have...
The problem is that doctors are classically trained to believe that disease is due to damage (lesions), rather than systemic dysregulation. Many...
The primers are supposed to be quite specific to the virus, but the specificity of a PCR test is not just based on the primers/probes, but...
Hi, I apologise for not replying sooner, I missed this post earlier. This study does provide suggestive quality evidence that asymptomatic...
Covid-19: Confidentiality agreements allow antibody test manufacturers to withhold evaluation results https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1816
Those figures are far higher than real-world test results of similar tests and I simply won't believe them unless they publish a large scale...
"Accuracy" is a misleading figure, because it doesn't say whether the inaccuracy was due to false positives or negatives. The assumption of 99.5%...
Yes, with 99.5% specificity, we would only expect 6-7 of the 98 positives to be false positives. (from Bayes' Theorem). The ratio of false to true...
They did not measure viral shedding prospectively, it is merely "inferred" (hypothesised) as stated in the abstract.
There were no statistical differences in corticosteroid use between the patient and placebo groups (numerically, slightly higher in placebo...
I think the shift in virulence is a microevolutionary dance between the viruses and their hosts - as the hosts change their behaviour (and use...
How do we know this? It is frequently hypothesised, but never demonstrated. (note, it is important not to misinterpret raw test results without...
Yes.
She was willing and highly compliant, yet she is still ill at the end. The conclusion is horrifying, namely all they are interested in Sally's...
