Abstract 4369416: Impact of Long COVID on Physical Activity and Sleep: a Matched Cohort Study using Wearable and EHR data From The All of Us Research Program [Line breaks added] Backround Long COVID (LC) is associated with negative health effects, but its impact on health behaviors such as...

As far as I can tell, this is just a poster abstract. There's no more text behind a paywall.

FYI, the full texts of paywalled Nature papers are often available on PubMed Central: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7572537/

There's a website to explore a subset of the papers summarized so far: https://laion.inference.net/embeddings I typed in "chronic fatigue" and clicked on one at random out of 8 results, and it happened to be authored by @DMissa. I don't see a way to share the link to the summary directly, but...

Effectiveness and safety of exercise therapy in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): A meta-analysis Zhenya Wei, Heying Wu, Chong Cui, Zixu Wang, Huazhong Xiong, Fujia Song, Jixiang Ren [Line breaks added] Purpose To promote the development of new...

As far as I can tell, they didn't actually cite the 35 m minimum clinically important difference in the present paper. That was a quote from the preprint: Resistance Exercise Therapy for Long COVID: a Randomized, Controlled Trial, 2025, Research Square But they removed that mention of the...

Someone added a comment to the paper (scroll to the bottom): Misleading interpretation of the null results? First paragraph:

Reminder that sharing the full text of the paper on this thread would be breaking the copyright rule, and would end up being removed. Fair use allows sharing brief excerpts for commentary.

Transdiagnostic reduction in cortical choline-containing compounds in anxiety disorders: a 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy meta-analysis Maddock, Richard J.; Smucny, Jason [Line breaks added] Background Anxiety disorders (AnxDs) are highly prevalent and often untreated or unresponsive to...

November 14th, two days from now. Morgane Bomsel, who last year presented some striking differences in megakaryocyte and platelet viral persistence, is presenting again.

I think it's the same data (or at least part of the data is the same), just split by sex, which would explain why the top upregulated genes are almost identical. Very similar cohort numbers, and identical age summaries: Upregulation of olfactory receptors and neuronal-associated genes...

Noting that it was 0-65%.

My impression was that we don't really have good total heritability data. Snippet from 2020 paper from Dibble, Ponting, and McGrath: Genetic risk factors of ME/CFS: a critical review, 2020, Human Molecular Genetics So only two of these were not inconclusive. One of these (UK Biobank, 8%)...

Responding to this from another thread. Relevant part of DecodeME paper: So my understanding is that SNP-based heritability, as reported above, only captures the genetic influence from what was measured in the study: common variants. That means it misses any genetic influence of rare...

My thinking was that it would depend which synapses and how severe the damage is. For example, maybe in ME/CFS the damage is away from memory-associated neurons and mild enough to not be visible on scans, but enough damage to throw off a delicate system, like maybe the sickness response pathways.

That's a very funny (and nonsensical imo) reason. Odd that loads of other studies that adjust for multiple comparisons have no trouble displaying unadjusted p-values if they so choose.

More about the above. This blog post says Clarivate does not release the reasons for delisting journals (and it criticizes the lack of transparency), so it's anyone's guess what specifically caused this. But it's likely to lead to a significant drop in articles from the journal. It was...

I couldn't find a good existing thread for this so I thought I'd start one just for general discussion about any journals or publishers. If there's a better place, let me know. May be of interest since we sometimes get papers from Cureus posted here: Retraction Watch: 'Embattled journal...
