    Sickness behaviour – useful concept or psycho-humbug?

    Limping dogs is classic. I have seen it in horses too. When I look they limp. When I do not look they move normal. When I look they start limping again. When they are suprised by my looking, many times they started limping with the wrong leg.

    Phase III Rituximab Trial - News

    I said Rituximab is not for me and that still stands but a 30% response is not bad. Not good enough but something to look in further. I asume they gathered lots of data. Maybe something shows up in that. I am not disappointed. At least now I know it is not the majority that responses.
