I think it almost certain that this is slam dunk bona fide. This is where medicine is really transforming what can be achieved. If gene editing...
I think it makes sense but I can see how PWME might still find it misses the point. The point for me as a medical scientist interested in ME is...
We have known about cells in hypothalamus sensitive to bacterial endotoxin, causing fever and nausea for a long time. It may be interesting that...
:whistle::nerd: Seems there will be. I have accepted the invitation to join (suggested by CS). ;)
What we need next is SELF-POO - an online digital intervention for constipation. It could relieve a vast amount of suffering.
Well, presumably for ME when the person is feeling terrible would be the right time? That is if we are trying to blame feeling terrible on an...
Yes, but if you do NMR on a whole leg you have plenty of metabolite! You can do NMR on arms and legs without disturbing the patient at all - other...
Sure, but if the claim is that symptoms are due to failure of major respiratory pathways preventing energy usage then surely some easily...
I was talking about magnetic resonance spectroscopy rather than mass spectroscopy.
I doubt it has much to do with money. These are machines that have been available since maybe the 1960s, at least since 1980. They do not require...
Well, when I was shown these peaks each one was clearly identified as lactate or glutamate or pyruvate or whatever. There was lots of them. As far...
I cannot answer that for sure. However, in the 1980s I worked in the next lab to people who did MR spectroscopy and they showed plots with peaks...
I don't get the impression that the hypothesis is well enough formulated as yet to be testable by anything much. If it was I suspect it would be...
I can't get my head around this yet. But one thing bothers me. When we meet viruses and other infections almost always our metabolism goes UP - so...
Interestingly MS only attacks nerves in the brain and spinal cord. CIDP attacks nerves outside the brain and spinal cord - in the arms and legs.
Well, OK, but Ariens is not a clinical haematologist, and his argument is pretty feeble. There is nothing wrong with trying to get rid of...
There is something spooky about this to me. Here is a BMJ article written by the 'investigations editor' whoever that might be. It quotes...
I think etanercept has been tried in ME before with no useful effect. Perispinal administration sounds highly risky to me and unjustified in the...
UK government due to go down by supper time I think. Whether a new leader will shuffle again, who knows? There is likely to be a major clearout I...
