I agree that there is a big problem here. Being an 'honest broker' actually requires an awful lot of careful research. Which is what scientists...
That may well be so but it depends on the pre-assumption of 'FND' or 'fibromyalgia', which are much the same diagnosis in this context. When I...
Er no, these results are enough to say that there is no point in this approach. The result is negative. If it was of any important the p values...
They may assume that something else will bring back autoreactive B cells. Most immunologists do. The problem with one or two relapses is that the...
I think that was the program earlier this week.
That is a bit strange since it suggests that total IgG goes down quicker than autoantibody. I think there may be an awful lot of uncertainty in...
And is there a way to bring sense to the world? I wonder sometimes.
Yes, the goal is for GPs to take over the world and provide a really crap service on their own. Sadly the likely incoming government in the UK is...
That looks like a calibration artefact to me. You have to be ever so careful about cross-calibrating these assays. Part of the problem is that the...
I guess the question is why Charles Shepherd and the MEA are putting out messages linking to rubbish like this. I find it all rather puzzling....
This is a complete garbage article typical of what comes out of the Primary Care Medicine camp. Apparently it is supported by Versus Arthritis and...
I wonder if there are any pilot study data? The trial linked to looks cumbersome and without any clear primary outcome measure. (The description...
I don't think anyone should be trying to frame it other than as not understood and needing a lot more attention. Endless quoting of weak and...
Perhaps PWME should try speaking with a Welsh Accent: 'Cariad. Sto-op, Look you.' perhaps. It could deal with the ME/CFS very well. I can see...
I doubt it. It might possibly be useful as part of a combination therapy but I have no idea with what.
I think I would be happy to say that in general in medical science once you have hit on the right thing to measure the difference you are looking...
If it ducks like a quack, there is a high chance...
Thanks for the input Adam. I just find it hard to think who could have come up with such amateurish material. It seems that the working group...
Very disappointing. I find Sonya Chowdhury's media releases much sharper these days.
The strange thing is that it seems that all these authors (pretty much) are students or very junior. Some involved in psychology, some sport....
