Tinnitus can have associations with medication use: Longitudinal Study of Analgesic Use and Risk of Incident Persistent Tinnitus "Analgesics may influence auditory function and several mechanisms may underlie the potential ototoxicity of these medications, including alterations in cochlear...

Even prejudiced agenda pushing researchers can occasionally happen upon a truth - the WHO classification was at best a stop gap Pandemic response and its continued usefulness has to be in doubt. There are however some weaknesses in the observations of this paper - note the differences between...

A measure of how fast the problem is accelerating in just four years. It is notable how the numbers (first table in the KFF paper) for six out of seven headers for the US greatly exceed the UK percentages (simple rule of thumb multiply or divide by 5 to compare UK/US or US/UK) - only on cancer...

Done.

Motor vehicles still somewhat more dangerous than guns - but not by much, although suicide rather than violence from another accounts for 3rd of under 19 gun deaths: The Major Causes of Death in Children and Adolescents in the United States

Below is the chart from an earlier post updated with the March 30th figures. As I suggested previously the one and two year PASC numbers are continuing to rise while the the 12+ weeks are continuing to fall - at some point in the next twelve months we might expect these three lines to coincide...

Latest figures are to 2020 - basically show figures at standstill National life tables – life expectancy in the UK: 2018 to 2020. The horror about the US figures is not so much the reaching old age - it's the death rates for the under 40s. Although the massive inefficiencies of the US system...

That source - and its reference (https://www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/CSJ-Lost_and_Not_Found.pdf) requires close examination as frequently 'agenda pushing'. Without doing a full trawl of the numbers one obvious thing is the population bubble that is moving through...

Financial Times US life expectancy is in freefall as the young and the poor bear the brunt of struggles for shared prosperity. I’m not sure people on my side of the Atlantic fully appreciate quite how much better off the average American is than the average European. A car-wash manager in...

Devil's advocate but - if near surface capillaries are not involved, only those associated with internal structures: liver, kidneys, spleen, small intestine - then there could be non-visible disease. Even then organ specific symptomology would surely be evident ? And why the larger fenestrated...

Not available in my hippy youth - but still there are some days now when nothing else but Combichrist will do :jawdrop:.

Personal experience I'd differentiate between a) cognitive failure where the the usual appreciation of time passing is missing, this is a sort of counting error. Somewhat more distressing is memory gapping where there's no connection between location/actions in a before and after sense, it's not...

Agree although in this case I would use the term 'colonising' rather than 'co-option' - it's a total claim, there is no enemy because there is no place in which an enemy can have legitimate identity. The authorial 'feminists' are (in their terms) speaking for all women and any disagreement can...

Just an encouragement to anyone who felt able and 'qualified' but this monstrosity really demands a feminist/patient response, perhaps as a guest post on Trial By Error if the good offices of @dave30th were to assist/support ?

"Following centuries of neglect, gender and sex discrimination in healthcare now receives more widespread attention; but despite improved awareness, inequality remains common in biomedical settings. Research funding is disproportionately directed towards the investigation of diseases that...
