I doubt it is anything of the sort. Proof of natural selection is very hard to come by. This just shows evolution.
The problem is recognised as very disabling. In right heart failure or biventricular failure from lung disease or alcoholism if too much diuretic...
When I was involved with IiME I advised them to focus a conference on local researchers in the UK and maybe Europe because a lot of the high...
Hi David, As we have discussed before, your case is unusual and not easy to analyse. I am not sure I can add anything at this stage other than...
This is what GRADE fails on. If a study is too open to bias to be interpretable it should score zero. There is no logical justification for just...
No. In fact once oedema has formed massage doesn't seem to do much. We tried 'Flowtron' massaging devices in the 1980s but they did little. Once...
That seems to fit with the story that people with severe Covid who do badly could be very hypoxic without shortness of breath. This was supposed...
I can think of one, or maybe two, over thirty odd years. It is an interesting question. I have to assume that in general PWME are not referred to...
⇒ Treatments for CFS/ME should be negotiated between healthcare professionals and patients and should always be delivered collaboratively. I...
I don't really buy that. These are soldiers considered fit to fight in the first place. Certainly in those days people were stunted and had chest...
That is certainly another way of analysing it. But if you were as terrified as people had a right to be I think it may become hard to draw a line...
I have written a paper on Camptocormia in the past, having studied a case in an elderly woman. I don't think the article is very accurate and I...
Dr Jarvis may have realised that should he find himself in court that statement would not help his Medical Defence organisation (legal backup)...
Proof of concept is when you have actually proven the concept - i.e. got a definitive result!
Maybe I should be clear that by that group I mean Newcastle, not the various authors of the paper cited.
Interaction in relation to their rituximab for fatigue study, which I think was in primary biliary cirrhosis. There seemed to be an assumption...
I am afraid that any abstract that contains an instruction to the reader as to the value of the work described is a clear signal to stop bothering...
None of it is of the slightest relevance because there are no trials that give reliable evidence for a cost effective treatment regardless of...
Yes, of course the quote as a whole is totally non sequitur. The last sentence is fine. But it in no way justifies the first, which is a bogus...
I am afraid I was not very inspired by the research approach of that group. The emphasis seems to be just on measuring the amount of fatigue. I...
