Background Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has proven its prognostic value in cardiovascular diseases, infections, inflammatory diseases and in several types of cancers. However, no cut-off has been proposed on the basis of reference values coming from healthy population. Methods Routine...

All of authors are from University of Bristol and include Crawley's mate, George Davey Smith. ME gets mentioned a number of times. Open access at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-39359-z Starting to build a narrative that our fatigue isn't anything out of the ordinary?

An objective biomarker - gene expression patterns - for pain? Can this be true? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-018-0345-5 (A.B Niculescu et al.) Full text. The cohorts and the scientists are psychiatric patients/psychiatrists but otherwise the study seems to lean more biomedical - not...

I've never had a flu jab my entire life (I'm 56), and don't feel that I've ever gotten the flu. Of course it's difficult to know for sure with M.E because I feel viral-like 80% of the time. Perhaps I get a milder form when exposed but not sure. Researchers at Stanford have discovered a way...
