Finally, some contrast to the "all disease is due to inflammation/damage" school of thought.
No.
The key point is that VO2Peak is not equal to VO2Max unless those central hemodynamic limits have been reached (lung capacity limits are far from...
Therefore you can perform a statistical trick - smokers without those risk factors are less likely to be hospitalised. But these studies are...
This is a very interesting paper, albeit coauthored by a not-so popular Jos van der Meer. They make some novel hypotheses that I think have been...
The perspective of those who became ill as children is also quite different to those who became ill in their mid 20s or later.
Testing rates have dropped to around 25% over the weekend, so take these figures with a heavy dose of skepticism.
Inappropriate statistical thresholds combined with publication bias.

Precisely.
Hard to say at this point in time. I suspect there is still high risk irrespective of management.
Notably, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icatibant leads to vasodilation. There seems to be two opposite hypotheses and a great deal of...
The disease and reinfection are two different things. No symptoms = no disease. Reinfection was defined as Note that a rise in serum specific...
Very little about longevity of immunity to future infections can be deduced simply from from absolute levels of circulating antibodies from an...
Easing restrictions while the virus is still circulating in the community is crazy talk. Achieving "herd immunity" without overwhelming the...
I read this as de-education. Leaving clinicians more ignorant than when they started.
45 minutes? Anyone have a summary?
Who said anything about RT-PCR? They were identifying antibodies in serum, aka serology. We can't do any sort of adjustments unless they also...
The problem is that serological tests have poor specificity, around 80-90% (possibly sensitive to antibodies to other coronaviruses). If you test...
Favipiravir? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favipiravir Seems curious that the mechanism is not well characterised...
