Highlights Acute pericarditis is an important manifestation of long COVID-19 syndrome. Thickened and bright pericardial layers with small effusions was the most frequent finding. History of autoimmune and allergic disorders, and palpitations/arrhythmias were risk factors. Abstract Background...

Abstract Background Acute myocarditis has been described as a relatively rare cardiovascular complication of COVID-19 infection. However, data regarding the risk of myocarditis during the post-acute phase of COVID-19 are scant. We assess the risk of incident myocarditis in COVID-19 survivors...

First, ME Research, who you were originally criticising, describe it as "a feeling of being unwell (post-exertional malaise) that is not improved by rest, and can be worse after physical or mental effort". Secondly, I've just Googled "short term symptom exacerbation", and found no results for...

As far as I'm aware, the World ME Alliance is not a charity itself, however I do agree that if through it national charities could reach agreement on those then it would be a good thing (assuming I agree with what decide on of course).

Is anybody else experiencing regular connection issues that don't seem to be connected to internet/mobile connection? And the pace scoring clearly lags behind how I actually feel.

No, he's not in the author list that you shared here, Snippets from White P et al. "Eight major errors in the review process and interpretation of the evidence in the NICE guideline [...]" [for ME/CFS]

That's because they don't claim they are biomedical. One question was asked, "how much is planned to be spent on biomedical research", a different but related answer was given by merely listing what research has been previously funded. The accountability, in this example, comes from the MP...

Because it's not a symptom.

The problem is that, assuming the funding body has no ulterior motive in what it funds, the funders probably have no idea what a valid definition of ME is or not, so aren't going to pick up on this as an issue. A way needs to be found to somehow insert that information into the process of...

Thanks for that cassava. In my opinion the number of authors from the FND world show clearly that the concern that we have had about FND is more than merited.

"Clinical markers A CFS symptom inventory for adolescents assesses the frequency of 24 common symptoms during the preceding month, as has been described elsewhere [39]. Briefly, each symptom is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from ‘never/rarely present’ to ‘present all the time’. A...

The paper ends with "Conclusion Is the immune dysregulation hypothesis proven? After over 20 year of attempting to identify specific immune defects and infectious agents that cause ME/CFS, clear pathways are still not evident. However, a complex interaction between the immune system and...

"When modern humans first migrated from Africa to the tropical islands of the southwest Pacific, they encountered unfamiliar people and new pathogens. But their immune systems may have picked up some survival tricks when they mated with the locals—the mysterious Denisovans who gave them immune...

Abstract Background Association between messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis has aroused public concern over vaccine safety. Objectives The goal of this study was to compare the prognosis of this condition with viral infection–related myocarditis over 180 days. Methods A...

Abstract Background: Patients who come to the emergency department are different from those seen in outpatient clinics. The former suffer greater stress. Aim: Establish an association between the attribution of the symptoms (psychosocial or organic) by the patient and the level of perceived...
