I was asked by the editor-in-chief of the health website InforMed to write an up-to-date article on ME/CFS. InforMed is a smaller health news website written by doctors for patients (but it definitely has some traffic because the "ask a doctor" section seems pretty busy with questions). It is...

This was posted today on the FB page of the Finnish ME/CFS association: Facebook translation:

No, this is literally there in the plain English summary text.

ChatGPT is pushing generative AI forward, with powerful potential in health care settings Asked to pull up a few studies on chronic fatigue syndrome from the past six months, ChatGPT responded with confidence, listing five scientific studies published in 2022 and 2023, complete with author...

I'm happy he was invited and the BPS people had to listen to this in their little bubble.

I remember this post-covid counselling program in pharmacies in Serbia. Here is a short article about it in the News from Southeastern Europe thread.

A $1 million grant from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation will launch a UC San Diego-led national effort to more deeply study tissue samples from patients with conditions ranging from long COVID-19 and relapsed Lyme disease to chronic fatigue syndrome (...) Dubbed the “Tissue Analysis...

By the way, someone in my group tried ChatGPT and asked some questions about ME/CFS in Hungarian. Not just in general but also about how you can get good info about ME/CFS. And ChatGPT said my website is the Hungarian ME/CFS website, the one recommended for information about the disease in...

Long article about treating long covid with LDN in Rolling Stone: Can an Addiction Drug Treat Long Covid? Digging into the research, Korbutov learned that while naltrexone only has approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating people recovering from addiction to heroin...

The situation with the Austrian petition is a bit confusing to me (you can find comments about it earlier in this thread but it also had its own thread here). Because I remember how the government reacted to it was disappointing. But now CFS Hilfe, the Austrian patient org posted this on...

I'm talking about the subjective outcome measure + no control group combo, which we would never accept from a BPS study as convincing or promising. It should be the same standards for everyone. We have actimetry, a 6-minute walk test, it doesn't need to be self-reported improvement. Maybe these...

Self-reported symptoms, no control group.

Full title: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clinical autonomic practice in Europe A survey of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) and the European Federation of Autonomic Societies (EFAS) Abstract Objective To investigate the impact of the coronavirus-disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic...

Do they only expect it to work in the early stage?

I guess that must be a bad translation in the paper then! "Oxiológia" is not a common word even in Hungarian, I've never heard it but it seems to mean emergency medicine.

Two preprints on ChatGPT's clinical decisions/diagnoses, one American, one Hungarian. Assessing the Utility of ChatGPT Throughout the Entire Clinical Workflow, Rao et al Abstract IMPORTANCE Large language model (LLM) artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots direct the power of large training...

I'm quite sure it must be a parody sort of account. Btw, short personal story: yesterday a person with LC was asking about the reactivated EBV theory in my group and what we think. And another person with LC replied and also added that now, because of long covid doctors are also starting to...

Hm. It is kind of like including Harvey Weinstein and the likes on such a list on a website for women's issues and then calling it a safe space. Because both of these sides are somehow equally responsible for the current heated situation and the stalling of the field, all we need is a bridge...
