@ME/CFS Science Blog did I see it right that Paul Garner himself showed up on your Facebook page to criticize DecodeME?

I have found another article in Hungary, this one is actually on a website called DrPortal, which is a health news kind of website written by doctors for other healthcare workers. The articles aren't public, only verified healthcare workers can access them. I can only see the first few...

There has been some additional coverage here too, although it has not been covered by every major news site, only a few. Another one was Origo which is one of the top news sites but it is also infamous for featuring a lot of political propaganda, so I'm not sure I want to link the article here...

I remember his blog was posted in my group a few times, recommended as "the best source about ME/CFS you can find". Not very recently though. I wish S4ME had the same appeal to people. It would make my job a lot easier in my group if there were some more well-informed, science-oriented people...

The news of Decode ME has reached Hungary too, although so far I have seen only one such article. Portfolio is the largest business/economic news site in the country. They wrote their article based on the one in the Financial Times but they don't really go into details about the study too much...

Abstract Background We compared fatigue severity in breast, prostate or colorectal cancer survivors 5–16 years post-diagnosis with cancer-free controls, and examined factors associated with fatigue and its association with all-cause mortality in survivors. Methods Participants of the CAncEr...

We already had a paper about MS and childhood trauma a few years ago, from Norway (probably unsurprisingly): https://www.s4me.info/threads/association-of-adverse-childhood-experiences-with-the-development-of-multiple-sclerosis-2022-eid-et-al.27536/

Yes, I agree with this and even made a point about it in my last comment that I'm not talking about long-term. However, the impression I got from the above comments is that this (struggling to do the same strength training exercise 2 days in a row) is something that "should never ever happen" to...

Yes, you can improve well if you regularly work out. I was commenting on what the personal trainer said that he was surprised that you needed rest and couldn't repeat the workout without rest as a beginner and that you couldn't lift the same weight the next day. He may not be familiar with...

That's a rather odd statement from a personal trainer about beginners making constant progress, because in reality beginners often struggle with pretty bad DOMS lasting for days when they start, since their muscles are not used to strength training. Training regularly reduces the likelihood of...

Yes, we do need those trials, the sooner the better. Some people in my group believe it seriously helps people, based on anecdotes in social media and unscientific surveys and they are always looking for doctors who would prescribe it. And of course the doctor who does prescribe it here is an...

Ali-Reza Mohammadi-Nejad, Martin Craig, Eleanor F. Cox, Xin Chen, R. Gisli Jenkins, Susan Francis, Stamatios N. Sotiropoulos & Dorothee P. Auer Abstract The impact of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic on brain health is recognised, yet specific effects remain understudied. We investigate...

Structured Abstract INTRODUCTION Regeneration, an apparently beneficial trait, is well maintained in some animal lineages but has been lost in many others during evolution and speciation. A complete rescue of organ regeneration in mammals with limited regenerative capacity has not yet been...

Patric Meyer & Ann-Kathrin Zaiser Abstract COVID-19 has been linked to acute and long-term cognitive impairments, including memory and concentration deficits, as well as neuropsychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression. However, the neuropathophysiological mechanisms underlying these...

I don't have the energy to read this article today, so I can't say anything about its content but I'm sharing it as it looks interesting. From Long Flu to Long COVID: A Brief History of Postviral Illness Despite centuries of examples, long-term maladies after flu and other viruses remain...

Also, I don't know about other countries but here you need qualifications to become a medical translator (or any kind of specialized translator). I think this means a university degree in that language + additional specialized training and an exam at the end. This may vary in other countries but...
