this is quite similar to XMRV times where some were getting access to the researcher- some still do- and back in the days following the publishing of XMRV paper, some patients felt suddenly quite ‘viral’ and demanded to be tested. It got quite nasty on the forums. Lessons learned: science...

Here is an interesting paper on cerebral blood flow: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4914489/ Cerebral blood flow and autoregulation: current measurement techniques and prospects for noninvasive optical methods

It makes me curious to know who is in the audience, students, lab researchers, everybody BUT surgeons and neurologists? And did this neurosurgeon discussed the failure/complication rates which includes death and other adverse events, but also includes those who were not made better? How does...

They are not designed to be sterilized, unfortunately. They are single use. Edit to add: Source : https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/personal-protective-equipment-infection-control/masks-and-n95-respirators

Unfortunately the treatments are not all that effective. It may help patients sit up or stand up, but it does not improve enough to get people back to work.

An important paper. It is interesting that the experiments were performed in the Netherlands. I hope this will provide a paradigm change over there and all around the world.

It can be twice as hard from a doctor perspective to correctly interpret what the patient is describing. Often time, tired after exercise is viewed as ‘depressed’. The interpretation of that particular doctor will live in the patient’s chart forever. Same with OI. I remember going to my GP the...

From the experience of Dr Bell and his pediatric cohort, ‘recovery’ needs to be defined. Decades following the mid-80’s outbreak, he reassessed his patients to see how they were doing. While patients themselves declared they were living a fairly normal life, Dr Bell noted that the patients had...

Dr Baraniuk’s team. Full text here Abstract Gulf War Illness affects 25–32% of veterans from the 1990–91 Persian Gulf War. Post-exertional malaise with cognitive dysfunction, pain and fatigue following physical and/or mental effort is a defining feature of Gulf War Illness. We modelled...

No Rosie, the yearly flu that makes its way around the globe is influenza virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza This current virus that emerged in China is a different kind of virus, from the corona virus family, which also causes a respiratory illness but seemingly these coronaviruses...

This is an important quote from you as a physician, @Jonathan Edwards thank you so much for recognizing this. Family physicians not only have no expertise in ME, (they all read from the same Uptodate and parrot to their patients that they should be better in a year or 2), they have no time...
