68 would be both the mode and the median in this case. If over half of points are exactly 68, then 68 must be the middle ranked point (the median).

As long as more than half the group did exactly 68 sessions, and anyone else did less. Could be a mistake, but it's not impossible that's right.

I have little doubt that exercise does causally worsen exertion capacity. But I think it's because exercise causes symptoms, so the person chooses/is forced not to exert. If a healthy person and a person with ME/CFS do identical amounts of exercise, I think their objective markers of physical...

I think even if it was only people with PEM, you should expect that their VO2 and peak power will improve with exercise. I don't think we have evidence that muscles don't become stronger or the cardiovascular system doesn't become more efficient with training in pwME as opposed to healthy...

Human alphaherpesvirus 3 (HHV-3), which was found only in ME/CFS cases, is varicella zoster virus (VZV), AKA chicken pox and shingles. That's 6/17 people with ME/CFS versus 0/7 healthy controls with this virus.

Here's the second half of the results section:
