I wonder who dreamt this up? The scientific stuff is all complete nonsense. It is embarrassingly disappointing that a medical education package...
They clearly didn't work hard enough on their placebo effect.
The electron microscope allowed us to diagnose minimal change glomerulonephritis, but in general I agree. Sensitivity of test is rarely important.
Not just self-important rambling, but global neuronal working space self-important rambling. You need to get the full nuance! And bad science...
A fairly sobering analysis.
As Voltaire and mark Twain said, common sense isn't that common.
Blood cannot really build up in the brain because it is in a closed bone box filled with non-compressible fluid. Pressure rises very quickly if...
Blood flow out of the brain is always the same as blood flow into the brain. If it is reduced, metabolite clearance is likely to be at the same...
CSF isn't going to be a route for metabolite clearance anyway - that would be via reabsorption into blood vessels. The whole thing seems a lot of...
Well 'having symptoms identical with' does not require 6 months. The 6 month limit has I think been reduced by NICE 2021 but even at 6 months the...
It's a fair question but there is a reason for being cautious. ME/CFS as a concept is not just a concept of having certain symptoms now. It is...
BMC Med. 2014 Oct 1:12:167. doi: 10.1186/s12916-014-0167-5. Two age peaks in the incidence of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis:...
There are all sorts of reasons why these data show apparent anomalies. People whose illness started thirty years earlier may never have got a...
They say with a diagnosis i.e. prevalence of having a diagnosis, not time of being diagnosed. I don't remember the details but the most useful...
I think those are prevalence data rather than incidence? The peak times of incidence of ME/CFS are in adolescence and mid thirties for women...
Yes, most of it. It was quoting weak papers at the fringe of research that suggest something is significant when the weight of evidence goes the...
I don't actually think you should not try to do that because it isn't justified by anything useful. Medical terms are always less than ideal....
And their genes would be different and their microbial exposure different and about everything else. I guess my view is that if there isn't a...
You can always find 'some studies suggest...' for anything. And AI is becoming a brilliant source of scientific disinformation in this regard....
I think both biomedical scientists and philosophers have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a 'root cause' in this world much....
