0.85 seems very 'partial'. My own n=1 indicates that despite three jabs and having Covid already another bout of Covid can leave you feeling...
My understanding was that the genetic risk in MS was largely known and located on MHC and explained the 1 in 4 concordance in monozygotic twins...
Not that I am aware of. I don't see the point of trying to explain something that we do not yet know is there and may well not be.
it may well be that the BBC and less perceptive copywriters do, in contrast to the journalists I talk to, who tend to see sense at least some of...
I was interested to note today at UCL Grand Rounds that colleagues had little or no awareness of the SMC. I don't think in medical circles anybody...
We had a UCL Grand Round on 'Covid Toes' today. The speaker confirmed (and showed pictures to show) that the pathology of Covid Toes does not look...
There seems to be good evidence for microvascular damage during acute Covid but I don't think it adds up as a basis for LongCovid. There is a...
I am afraid I don't buy the attempt to make the micro clots long lasting and yet troublesome. The liver and spleen remove fine debris from blood...
No, most brain inflammation will produce a diffuse polyclonal rise in IgG. Yes, oligoclonal bands occur in other diseases with antigen specific...
The risk related immune genes are already known for MS. You more or less have to have a particular MHC type to get MS. I forget which but it...
Yes, I agree on that. Maybe we should simply be pleased to see Fiona Fox having spilt the beans on her attitude to science - that she is quite...
I am not sure what you are meaning by 'autonomic dysfunction' though? It sounds as if maybe you feel a lack of maintenance of circulation. But...
That is a very well organised plan for a response @Trish. I wish I could think that clearly! It is all a matter of tactics I suppose. I do have...
I thought I had remembered Viner's name in the ME context. It seems that he authored 3 papers for a period of no more than 2 years in 2004-5...
Can anyone enthusing about this approach explain to me how aphaeresis could possibly be of use? If clots actually form in living people, which has...
I think the problem is that this is too vague a question. 'Autonomic dysfunction' is a bit like 'bad legs' - it could mean absolutely anything....
I could write directly to Riley and Viner as concerned academic colleague (being likened to the SS).
Ah, I see that Nellie was commenting on your transcript here @Trish. Mine took a time to appear and if mine appears I see no reason why yours...
Can anyone explain to me how Amazon works? On Amazon.co.uk the only review visible is mine at one star, yet it says 75% of reviews are 5 star. On...
Another interesting aspect of this is what we now know about bias at SMC. In the past we have seen what appear to be biased choices of experts...
