Persistent SARS-CoV-2 Spike is Associated with Localized Immune Dysregulation in Long COVID Gut Biopsies [Line breaks added] Abstract SARS-CoV-2 persistence is a proposed driver of Long COVID (LC), but the in-situ relationship between residual viral antigen and immune dysregulation remains...

Persistent physical symptoms not explained by structural abnormalities or disease processes: a primary care approach to promote recovery Background A substantial proportion of people consulting primary care practitioners have symptoms that persist even after structural problems and diseases...

I haven't read the full text yet (it's very long!), but I thought this would be good to refer to when considering if Gulf War illness (GWI) symptoms may be similar to long-term sarin symptoms. Looking at what the abstract says about evidence for effects in the extended period (≥1 year after...

NTP Monograph on the Systematic Review of Long-term Neurological Effects Following Acute Exposure to Sarin National Toxicology Program Introduction: Sarin (CASRN: 107-44-8) is a highly toxic organophosphorus nerve agent that was developed for chemical warfare during World War II and continues...

Clinical relevance of circulating blood microaggregates and reactivation of Epstein Barr Virus in long-term Post-CoVID syndrome patients Abstract Chronic persistence of systemic symptoms after recovery from active CoVID-19 has become a significant disease burden, named post-CoVID syndrome...

It's great that that exists, but it's hard to imagine all staff being willing to read through and absorb this long document. Maybe the document could be the basis for a publicly available video, which would be more absorbing, and would also be great for non-professional caregivers. It wouldn't...

I wonder if nurses working with an ME/CFS patient long-term could be required to watch a well-made instructional video/documentary about ME/CFS, with a test afterwards, to be sure they know what it is, what a patient may need, and what a patient does not need. One good video might be less...

This might be such a tool, though it doesn't look to be publicly accessible yet: Citation Verification with AI-Powered Full-Text Analysis and Evidence-Based Reasoning (ArXiv Preprint, 2025) https://semanticcite.com/ Note, I haven't really read much of the details.

Are you talking about the same study as CRH findings? I think there was a huge difference in cortisol too.

The paragraph describing RTHM at the bottom: They don't seem to mention that they prescribe medications in the list of services they offer.

A long list of treatments presented as if they may be helpful. Treatments were selected for inclusion based on if they were highly rated in the TREATME study, with some other supporting evidence added. Probably helpful for RTHM's business: Edit: Added quotes and made wording more accurate.

Unstandardized could be good too if you want to make predictions. Like in a correlation of height and vitamin intake, it'd be good to know how much taller for every additional gram of a vitamin. But yeah, there's also standardized coefficients, which are unitless. Though I think in the case of...

Real? In what way would it not be a real disorder if it only happened when a person smelled the chemical? For all we know, PEM is only triggered because of "knowing" that exertion is happening, and if someone in a coma artificially had their muscles stimulated, nothing may happen.

Note that the slope depends on what units they used. For this one, I think it's(change in Chalder fatigue score)/(change in hair cortisol (picograms per milligram of hair)). (How much does the fatigue score change for a change of 1 picogram cortisol/milligram hair.) If they had used nanograms...

Is it possible for gene expression to change in virtually all cell types from a common signal, but in this case the symptom would only be evident in smell?
