As far as I can see there are two Richar Smiths, both involve in political pressure groups on health. I had thought it was the other one but it...
The abstract is soberingly impressive. I hope Joshua goes on to find the needle in the haystack. In the meantime, this is useful work precisely...
This all looks like complete nonsense. In line with previous papers from these authors. Is it of any interest to an ME forum? I cannot quite see why.
Now, if we are sure that myalgia is really down to Long Covid, then we can signpost them to information and self-management services. I do believe...
I was talking about fringe theories rather than 'fringe cases'. What I mean by a fringe theory is something that most people who look carefully...
I am doubtful that there is justification for including Empty Sella Syndrome specifically. Low pituitary function of any cause might produce...
As far as I can see Richard Smith is not a doctor but a health economist. The chanting of the BPS mantras seems to be second hand. Embodied...
I keep wondering who this Topol guy is. (Presumably not who played Fiddler on the Roof.) Is he just an AI bot that tweets anything trite? What is...
I think your concerns are very realistic. Natural mutation is a bit like randomly changing a letter in a Shakespeare sonnet. 99.999% of the time...
The Wikipedia article gives what looks like a reasonable history. Ever since viral genomes have been sequenced and can be altered presumably...
That result looks very odd. There seems to be about a threefold increase in risk for a whole range of unrelated disorders. Ankylosing spondylitis...
This basically says that we discovered that there are five popular ways to bullshit to patients. We recommend teaching these to the students. I...
But why? When I started out in rheumatology to study rheumatoid arthritis RA patients were routinely seen every three months for years and years...
I don't see anything very interesting here. People have been measuring hundreds of molecules in blood samples for decades now - omics. And it...
Of course but my point was 'where are the patients being involved in this institute?'. I am not suggesting that patients pay to be involved. I...
I am afraid that I really don't think there is. We have some 2 day CPET studies that remain pretty hard to interpret in terms of relevance to PEM...
Precisely, we don't know. I am not denying that I agree that ME deserves a separate category. I do. But for the CDC to argue that the weakness of...
I don't think it is that easy. People with tuberculosis with a cough, rather than spinal deformity do not get a separate diagnostic category...
I think one could also make a case for EAE being inhumane and having not made much difference to the development of understanding of MS. I have...
My question would be, in a different sense, 'where are the patients? Research into disease mechanism and treatment has to be based on physicians...
Separate names with a comma.
