Background Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has proven its prognostic value in cardiovascular diseases, infections, inflammatory diseases and in several types of cancers. However, no cut-off has been proposed on the basis of reference values coming from healthy population. Methods Routine...

Transposons are bits of DNA that contain coding sequences that allow themselves to be cut out and then inserted into the genome at a different spot. Transposons can be a source of genetic diversity, and it can also cause disease or other problems. It seems like they can also have a positive...

I got a foam wedge thing for my mattress (one that goes the full length of the mattress) and usually that's enough to raise my head a bit to help my breathing, but if I need to sit up more, I do move to a recliner. That's better than stacking pillows, I agree. I don't often sleep in my chair...

This could be why have a different finding with NKCC. Some of the other labs are not freezing their samples. Freezing is a potential source of differences in findings. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3400260/

Why can't Cochrane do like this?

General comment: I haven't met many men who feel their ME is not stigmatized. What I have noticed is that I was able to relate the discriminatory way that my ME is viewed to many discriminatory events in my life that appear to be targeted at my gender. Of course, there are many things that...

How about UpToDate? Can we show that this was critically influenced by Cochrane?

It may depend on what is meant by "remove". Best as I understand/recall it, they filtered the serum so that it was divided into two sections: serum with small stuff, and serum with big stuff. The particle in question was in the "big stuff" section, but with other big stuff. They may have done...

Rather than just saying maybe don't try Mayo, is there some better place to suggest? Especially if we are not totally sure what he has?

very sorry to hear that

or ICF!

I was jumping back and forth a bit between concepts and I can see how that would be confusing. Yes, that's correct and is what I was trying to say, that there are many non-Mendelian patterns that can come under genetic conditions. (Just, my non-Mendelian genetics link had both descriptions of...

Some people say this as a special case in ME, to reassure listeners that they do not mean that people are malingering, somatizing, or have any kind of factitious illness. I agree that the wording could be better, as I also agree that psychiatric illnesses have a physical basis.

I do not think we have a substantial disagreement on this point. Perhaps you did not read my entire post (nor look at my embedded links--as I used the same terms as the NIH in case I did not fully recall the exact terminology from school). Edit: I did not actually take the "familial"...

They have lots of volunteers. Not a lot seem to qualify as having doctor's records of an infection at time of onset, having ME, and having a new enough onset. Not sure whether or not they're having an issue with being able to travel and able to take an exercise test. Also it takes a lot of...

Pretty sure there was a Fukda study but idk if the stats match. Checked, they do. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2019.00012/full @JaimeS I found your sources.
