Good point! It's easy to forget that adult percentages, such as the .422% obtained by Jason, don't, so far as I know, exclude adults who became sick as children. ETA: It seems like children have better CFS recovery rates than adults. Even so, those who recover still might be less likely to...

With so many similar symptoms, it makes one wonder if some Gulf War Illness patients might actually have ME/CFS. I don't think there's any reason to believe that being a Gulf War veteran would lower one's risk of getting CFS, but a history of Gulf War service no doubt increases your odds of...

Really excellent work, Adam. Very effective. :thumbup:

This is no doubt an unjustified leap, but I wonder if a miniprotein could be small enough to be a candidate for the the proverbial "something in the blood" ?

My cell phone company has told me that my 3G phone will be phased out by the end of 2020. I hope I'm not next. :eek: I do wonder how they're routing power to 800,000 new cell phone antennas. It would seem a daunting task unless they were mostly solar powered. [Changed G3 to 3G :whistle:]

Maybe it's all part of a homeopathic experiment to see if diluting their reputation increases the potency of their reviews.

"He notes that just because something has not worsened as the symptoms worsened does not mean it cannot be the driver of symptoms." This makes sense. If perfusion is worse at base line, it doesn't need to get worse to worsen symptoms during or following exercise. The brain/body just has to tax...

I've seen discussions of p-values where, in trying to define it, it's referred to as the probability that a finding is a "fluke" or is the result of chance. That description is dismissed, however, on the basis that all findings are "flukes" and the result of chance. If you run a typical study...

The volume of the sound drops considerably at 16:12. You're not imagining it.

I'd guess it's just part of a Columbia U.|Mailman School of Public Health media facility. It does seem kind of... "claustrophobic." ...and a bit "Rocky Horror." :)

I'd assume that one of the factors that influences "gait speed" is BMI/obesity, and to the degree that being overweight influences longevity, that might be the more relevant factor.

Ah... "Argumentum ad populum." ...and "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2" is a great movie because it made $107.6 million.

It's interesting that Dr. Komaroff now seems to be allied with Columbia's Center for Solutions. I wonder if this is a recent development. P.S. I have to admire a man with the 5 Platonic solids on his desk (though this may not be his desk). I used to have an icosahedron on mine. :)

It seems like their motivation for creating PIFS was to keep patients with positive laboratory indications of infection from confounding the result from their supposedly "non-infectious onset" CFS patients.* But that's really not going to work if you don't take into account "probable infectious...

Is there any research which distinguishes PVFS from ME/CFS? When you search for "Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome" on Wikipedia you are redirected to the "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" page, which asserts that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is the same thing as Myaglic Encephalomyeltits. Yet, I would assume...

I wouldn't be too worried about the review's delay. I'm sure that top men are working on it right now. Top men.

8. Recommend that those affected jump onto a paper circle and yell out "HOT!"

Not that I think this is involved in ME, but there are hospital-based devices that employ "teletherapy," i.e... The devices are safe so long as the shielding is not removed. About six years ago, thieves in Mexico stole a truck containing such a device. They apparently were only after the...

I don't know much about them, but I believe this idea of radiation and CFS is mainly the interest of the "National CFIDS Foundation," http://www.ncf-net.org/ - which seems to be based out of Massachusetts. They have a web page of links to articles concerning radiation and health...

I think it's actually an "honorary" degree, but I also would have accepted an "ornery degree." :)
