Not so sure after listening to my old music teacher who survived a Japanese death pit with a smashed femur. I suspect Japanese soldiers were a bit...
Clearly muscle isn't exposed to light but yes we have detailed studies of muscle changes for 48 hrs after exercise. The UCL muscle unit did...
I have no doubt that fatigue after car travel is due to continuous muscle contractions - if the trip is long enough I specifically have neck ache...
Nobody is going to fund 'we intend to make a whole load of measurements and hope someone else can figure out what it means. More seriously, the...
I think it may have to come from completely objective evidence from actimetry. Not just measures of periods of exertion but measures of subsequent...
That part yes, but the analysis of the data would require both detailed clinical insight and high level mathematical method knowledge.
I think Fluge and Bella have tried to make a start on this. But you need investigators who understand the point of the exercise. I often wonder if...
From reading the threads I would say it was no where near as stereotyped as that. And what is 'a certain threshold'? Is it defined in a circular...
Why, set up an exemplar clinical unit of course!
Traditionally it was the norm. We all know the centre names: Brompton, Queen Square, Rheumatic Diseases at Bath, Birmingham Accident Unit, Royal...
I was thinking of that when I wrote that! A surprising number of people volunteer for 2 dy CPET studies it seems. But the studies never seem to...
I was specifically referring to the idea that anaerobic thresholds are crucial. I don't think we have any evidence for that. More generally a...
I haven't heard that other than from on for two members. Sleep and lying flat course make a face puffy from a combination of gravity and immobility.
Yup. We use UV to study vascular activation this way. The skin goes red after a few hours, like sunburn.
Are we sure this is not sleepiness. Sleepiness with car vibration is surely something lots of people are familiar with. Both I and my wife fall...
This is the nub.
I think it is, simply because just telling staff to be more considerate about light and sound is not enough. There needs to be a deep...
It does but I don't think that is actually why it is tiring. We assume that we are tired by energy expenditure but actually we probably aren't. We...
There seems to be the usual confusion here between genetic studies of HLA-DQ (which alleles you were born with) and gene expression studies in...
It may be in a sense. And of course suitable side rooms are available in all hospitals. What is lacking is a team of people with the expertise to...
