I wonder if this means that his "novel diagnostic platform" didn't pan out as well so he's trying to take the attention to something else... I hope not.

 

This disease should have its own dedicated journal.

 

Yes.
In the meantime we make do with what we can get.

Oh pulease...

That got a bit garbled. 75% in wheelchairs?

But hopefully it'll result in a good paper or two.

 

We did have such a journal, the saga of it's history is another story...

If anyone wants, below is a Pubmed (includes Medline) search for ME/CFS for the past 12 months, rolling, on ME/CFS, English language. The search is a compromise of sensitivity and specificity on the topic meaning it wont' capture everything in Pubmed on the topic, the words must be in the title or indexed as a major topic (official Pubmed heading is "Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic") so it is actually fairly specific. Once the search runs you can change the date parameter as you wish. I made the search into a shortened URL here. Once the search runs, click on the title to retrieve the abstract if it's available or available free text of the full article if available. Many won't be available open access or free full text, you would need an online subscription personally or through an institution, unfortunately but at least you'll have the bibliographic information.

Let me know if you have any questions. Note, I just changed the searched slightly a couple seconds ago, you'll notice a newer shortened link below, due to incorrect spelling of encephal.... I truncated it.

I know people use Sci-Hub to obtain fulltext articles that are behind paywalls. I won't comment on that but this is an interesting read about linking to Sci-Hub.
