    Urine Metabolomics Exposes Anomalous Recovery after Maximal Exertion in Female ME/CFS Patients 2023, Glass, Hanson et al

    Yeah, I wouldn't expect there to be actually zero real difference between days because I expect exercise to do things to anyone, so would expect some skew in the raw p-values, though maybe not so much it passes correction. But I agree it seems very strange to have so many very significant...

    Urine Metabolomics Exposes Anomalous Recovery after Maximal Exertion in Female ME/CFS Patients 2023, Glass, Hanson et al

    I don't think this is correct. For example, if all the findings are actually null, which would result in a uniform distribution of p-values between 0 and 1, there's a good chance nothing will pass the FDR threshold. I verified with some quick code which output a minimum q-value of 0.31 if the...

    Preprint Identification of Novel Reproducible Combinatorial Genetic Risk Factors for [ME] in [DecodeME Cohort] and Commonalities with [LC], 2025, Sardell+

    I'd assume a log transformation before doing the standardization would be good so that the expression data isn't heavily skewed. https://www.researchgate.net/post/What-is-Log-transformation-and-why-do-we-do-it-in-gene-expression-analysis Edit: Spoke too soon, I looked at the methodology file...

    USA: News from Solve ME

    Interview with neuroimaging researcher Zack Shan "What my research now is, we have these brain MRI findings. Can we combine with smart sensors and biomarkers? Eventually, what we find can apply to a real patient without MRI data. Because, for research, we can collect rich phenotype data, and...

    In vitro B cell experiments explore the role of CD24, CD38 and energy metabolism in ME/CFS, 2023, Armstrong et al

    What's interesting to me is there being any effect at all. If they gave the mice the IgG and they grew longer hair, or if they put the IgG on a petunia and it turned more yellow, it'd still indicate something is different about the IgG. Maybe then you could isolate the specific antibodies. And...

    In vitro B cell experiments explore the role of CD24, CD38 and energy metabolism in ME/CFS, 2023, Armstrong et al

    Could you elaborate? If they can convincingly show that it is specifically the IgG that causes a change (with IgG depleted control solutions and whatnot), then I would think there is something in the IgG having a toxic effect. Is it that part about isolating IgG, or is it that differences in...

    Lightning Process - discussion thread

    Interesting. I got the same result multiple times with Gemini. But when replacing "the lightning process" with other terms like "graded exercise therapy", "brain retraining", "EMDR", and "hydrocortisone", it works just fine. "Primal Trust" also causes the same refusal to answer. Also, asking...

    Preprint Identification of Novel Reproducible Combinatorial Genetic Risk Factors for [ME] in [DecodeME Cohort] and Commonalities with [LC], 2025, Sardell+

    It seems to me that the important parts are laid out in their papers, just that it's somewhat of a complicated process. I don't have the energy to try to go through it and parse it, but maybe this summary of their method I had claude.ai write will be helpful. This is from giving the AI the...

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    Also, the same gene/locus was already found in chronic pain, so it makes sense for pain researchers to look at. The replication in a past study of a somewhat similar condition also makes it less likely that this is a false positive finding.

    A patient perspective on enduring symptoms – the unmet need, 2025, Cheston

    Glancing at it right now. Yes this is why I am confused by the 'enduring symptoms' or 'symptom-based disorders' terms: The definition in Katharine's paper seems like it would include basically any chronic symptoms that aren't yet understood (i.e. would have included MS and Parkinson's in 1830...
