Thanks Kiristar. There's a paywall to make comments on the article, but if anyone wants to use any or all of my post to build their own comment,...
I think this was an interesting paper, making good use of retrospective data. It seemed to me to be well done, with good recognition of the...
Ideas arising from a recent van Campen study: undertake analysis of cerebral brain flow (CBF) and cardiac output (CO) upon orthostatic challenge...
Limitations/ future research ideas: Yes, good ideas: undertake the analysis in all ME/CFS patients, not just those reporting orthostatic...
