@MelbME you are doing a great job of standing top for your corner. And you are clearly taking note of what people say - good on you. I would just...
I wonder why the dots are joined with lines. The whole thing looks like a pseudomeasurement.
If the movements are similar it would confirm that rhythmic jerks may be set off in any situation where the CNS cannot cope with the challenges...
But R & D is by definition different from basic science in that you know what sort of solution a problem might have. In basic science you don't...
Roughly but some HLA alleles are good for reacting to one infection and others good for other infections - at least that is the standard theory,...
That seems to me exceedingly unlikely. As far as I know anthrax toxins kill people pretty rapidly. If those people are given antibiotics and the...
To me it is totally unsurprising that corticosteroids given to pregnant mothers might impair detail brain growth. But then we only give them to...
I have been skiing this week and for the first two days had serious problems with knee pain to the extent that I had to put far more effort into...
Yes but that is a different neuromuscular phenomenon commonly called 'shivering' and not the same as adrenergic tremor. So I guess irrelevant? We...
Nor am I. That is the whole point. I was speculating that the conditions under which one is exercising, including aspects that may be determined...
And what I was suggesting was something much more subtle and only posed as a speculation.
The evidence that ME/CFS is 'infection associated' is pretty vague and inconsistent. I suspect it is heavily confounded by conflation with...
They aren't. I don't these GWAS type problems are relevant here. We have a small cluster of polymorphic loci with known functional differences...
Yes, 458 sounds fine. This isn't really a genetic study. It is a study of functions of proteins that happen to have a limited and well documented...
This seems pretty odd. If anthrax protein in a vaccine is toxic it is likely to be toxic within hours - maybe over 24hrs if it seeps out slowly....
It sounds pretty much of a muddle as before. I am glad I no longer have to provide clinical care in a system that is as dumbed down as this. It...
So why has a sympathetic state traditionally been called fight, fright or flight? How does a vasovagal faint at the sight of blood not link...
So instead of a Turing test maybe we should test AI chatbots to see if they get psoriasis if we really upset them? That would of course be virtual...
I have only now caught up with this thread, which raises a whole lot of issues. I guess that the psychobehavioural studies may just reflect the...
But none of that justifies their use in pure research, Chris. They are intrusive and involve phoney concepts like somatisation. Psychological...
