    Updates on status of ICD-11 and changes to other classification and terminology systems

    I'm not sure if that's something NICE would consider relevant. The scope, as published, doesn't really consider categorisation or coding. It's about treatment and diagnosis.

    Jamie Strong, a member of Karl Morten's team at Oxford, nominated for the National Diversity Awards

    So the voting must help with shortlisting, and then the judges pick the final winners? I can't imagine they'd leave it entirely to popularity.

    Jamie Strong, a member of Karl Morten's team at Oxford, nominated for the National Diversity Awards

    Oh that's interesting. I assumed there was a panel who decided the final winners. He better get tweeting then?

    Jamie Strong, a member of Karl Morten's team at Oxford, nominated for the National Diversity Awards

    Oh, this is just how the awards work. I know a few people who've won or been nominated. Think of it as voting to shortlist, rather than voting to win outright. The public can nominate literally anyone, so they balance that out by requiring people to vote for nominees. That way, only people with...

    Hyperactivation of proprioceptors induces microglia-mediated long-lasting pain in a rat model of chronic fatigue syndrome - Mar 2019 - Yasui et al

    Exactly. This looks like a model for burnout, or even PTSD: prolonged stress + exhaustion = ???

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    Stephen Fry elevates the poor writing (although they're not terrible; just not brilliant) to real entertainment. Reading the books is a relatively breezy but okay experience; listening to them read is fabulous. I rather think it's the world JKR creates that captures the imagination most...

    The face of postural tachycardia syndrome – insights from a large cross‐sectional online community‐based survey, 2019, Raj et al

    As most of the researchers are American, you'd expect at least a quarter of the respondents to be non-white: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States

    Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia: Definitions, Similarities, and Differences (2019) Natelson

    It is odd that there isn't a straight FM comparison. That would have made more sense.

    Duvet woman versus action man: the gendered aetiology of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome according to English newspapers, 2019, Tobbell et al

    Interesting. It's a weird mix, I have to say. The journal seems a bit muddled. Critical theory + scientific research doesn't really seem like a good pairing to me. They do different things. The first is a 'what if', academic exercise, whereas the second is a 'this is what we found' situation...

    Duvet woman versus action man: the gendered aetiology of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome according to English newspapers, 2019, Tobbell et al

    That's really weird. Your daughter, especially, is slap bang in the middle of the second age group cluster.

    Duvet woman versus action man: the gendered aetiology of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome according to English newspapers, 2019, Tobbell et al

    It's a media journal with some research elements not a science journal, per se, so it's not going to be written with the same standards as a scientific journal. Specifically, the 'constructionist feminist perspective' is a statement of framework for the argument that will follow. For example...

    Trial By Error: Crowdfunding, Week 2; and more Sharpe and Chalder

    We got Lost in Space. And the new one on Netflix. And the one with Matt Le Blanc.

    #ThisIsME UK Campaign - anyone know who they are?

    The website is still under construction, it seems, and the design does lean heavily on that of #MEAction, even including the hashtag.

    NICE Guideline Committee Register of Interests, 9 April 2019

    Don't worry, I've already sent a link to the chair.

    Neuropathic pain

    Have you considered metabolic syndrome? It involves a cluster of symptoms, such as high blood sugar without being diabetic, high cholesterol and an 'apple shape' body or central obesity: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/metabolic-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20351916

    The NHS says these are the 20 most painful health conditions you can suffer from - Cambridge News Mar 2019

    I think that's the case, yes. But I still disagree with their list because it favours acute injuries and downgrades women's pain, which makes me instantly suspicious.
