Worth remembering that statisticians tend not to understand anything about blinding of trials. Blinding is there to solve a problem with human...
It is taught in clinical pharmacology courses, if I remember rightly at the preclinical stage of basic sciences. When I was taught it we used...
I think in all these discussions we need to be open to the possibility that a diagnosis ME/CFS is applicable to two or more very different sorts...
It was White and Knoop and in the same paper they said that CBT worked through the placebo response!
It may be worth reminding people that when I presented my thoughts about the PACE trial to the University College London Division of Medicine...
But that would mean that the 'wider' population was in fact the narrower population in that regard.
I am doubtful that my Rapid Response will appear. There are none up and I suspect this indicates that none will be put up. The potato is too hot.
Absolutely it would. In clinical pharmacology we use different categorisations all the time. I have done studies on rheumatoid arthritis,...
That argument is incorrect. You can legitimately apply results from wider criteria to a population with narrower criteria. It is the opposite,...

Something like that.
No, it should never have been proposed. We know all we need to know from the NICE analysis. It was only ever playing Cochrane's own brand of...
If they were killed in a traffic accident maybe but the cost of organising that would be astronomical - many millions. No because B cells only...
I am very unclear what you are trying to argue. We are probably agreed that there are cases of blindness not currently explained by structural...
It isn't ad hominem. It is pointing out that simple explanations tend to be more likely to apply than complicated ones. Opticians often get things...
Ophthalmic problems can heal. Central nervous blindness can improve. And we have no idea what causes these unexplained problems so we have no...
That might not be at all surprising. Wikipedia says: In accordance with its partial agonism, although naltrexone is described as a pure opioid...
I suspect you need a better optician. I have had similar problems in the past.
Where does that come from. What is somatic modification if not strudel change? Or by somatic are you meaning psychosomatic? Structural change in...
That tells us sweet FA. These are not controlled trial data. Of course people will improve with time. It is hard to credit just how bad the...
