    UK House of Lords/ House of Commons - relevant people and questions

    Call centre work typically involves long shifts...interesting that it only seemed to be the pain that was stopping them from working. No insult to people suffering pain. I would have thought that the cognitive processing in ME would also cause severe problems.

    BMJ Archives of Diseases in Childhood: ''Editor’s note on correction to Crawley et al. (2018)'', 2019, Nick Brown. (SMILE LP Trial)

    Not enough "capacity to check"! What about all those PhD students watching people carrying shopping bags. Did it not occur to them to ensure they had enough people to look into this when they put forward their proposal? Sounds like the level of preparation re PACE, when someone used the excuse...

    Michael Sharpe: Mind, Medicine and Morals: A Tale of Two Illnesses (2019) BMJ blog - and published responses

    The reason that CFS sits in uncomfortable territory between medicine and psychiatry is because Wesseley and his ilk have put it there. The fact that PwME are uncomfortable with psych therapies is that they are promoted as curative not supportive. I do not think that even W & Co are promoting...

    Glucose Metabolism Drives Histone Acetylation Landscape Transitions that Dictate Muscle Stem Cell Function, 2019, Blau et al

    A brief glance suggests that this paper has similarities with Neil McGregor's talk at the EMERGE conference. I have just read thro' Cort's summary from HR produced on 15 June 2019. It mentions histone acetylation alongside the problems of glycolysis etc.

    Esther Crawley (2019) Physical activity patterns among children and adolescents with mild-to-moderate CFS / ME [baseline accelerometer MAGENTA data]
