Wonderful news

"Czech medical company JEP" I think a better translation would be Czech medical society because it seems to be this group that is referred to: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8Cesk%C3%A1_l%C3%A9ka%C5%99sk%C3%A1_spole%C4%8Dnost_Jana_Evangelisty_Purkyn%C4%9B

Found this overview of papers on this issue: https://discourse.datamethods.org/t/preprint-analysis-of-likert-type-data-using-metric-methods/5536

Thanks for highlighting!

Thanks. The first article is by another author. The second article is the correct one by I don't have access (as an individual you can't take a subscription to Proquest unfortunately).

Some rather wild ideas being tested here.

It says: "Le texte a été publié en 1961 dans la Revue française de psychanalyse" So it was published in 1961 in another journal.

Broadly, psychosomatic medicine changed into biopsychosocial model somewhere around the 1970s while psychoanalysis was replaced by cognitive behavioral therapy. Given how absurd psychoanalytic theory was, I guess many students of psychoanalytic oriented professors must feel that great progress...

This seems to be the author, Angel Garma, the 'founder' of psychoanalysis in Argentina. He has his own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81ngel_Garma

Anyone who can help finding this paper on psychoanalytic interpretation of peptic ulcer? It sounds amazing PEP | Browse | Read - On the Pathogenesis of Peptic Ulcer (pep-web.org)

Figure 4A shows the relationship between viral RNA in the stool and having symptoms. I would assume that if there was a causal relationship, the odds ratios would have been bigger?

Solve ME/CFS has also published a report about this which states: "Our model estimates that of all people infected with COVID-19, 30% will develop at least one lingering symptom, and 10% will develop a disabling case of Long Covid (DLC) severe enough to interfere with employment or activities...

Agree. I don't understand why there isn't more criticism of the vague definition of long covid. If researchers believe than 40% of patients with COVID-19, develop long covid, then they must have included minor symptoms. For those who develop ME/CFS or other very disabling symptoms after...

Agree, Virenque still lost 3 minutes on his main rival Ulrich (a very big difference to lose on a stage) so he might have done better than expected, but it's far from an extraordinary achievement. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-france/1997/stage-12/result/result Riders have good...

If I understand correctly they tested 800 variables in a sample of 15 patients and did not test the 32 variables that made up their model on a new cohort. Unfortunately, I think that means the results are likely not very meaningful.

Could you quote the comment and reply by the IQWIG in German?

My guess is that for most patients PEM is not that spectacular: not a crash where you suddenly can't do anything anymore but more an abnormal slow recovery where you feel extra sick for many days after overdoing it.

Thanks Duncan The paper was already in my folder so I must have taken a look at it. I think I didn't mention it in the overview because it was small and not a prospective study. But from what I recall long-term symptoms of Lyme were mentioned quite a few times and taken seriously in the early...

Interesting new study based on UK primary care databases that suggests an increase in fatigue-related symptoms following infection with Lyme disease...

Interesting study. Here's how I understand it. The authors - which include Lacerda, Nacul and Mudie from the ME/CFS biobank team - used a database with data from 6% of UK primary care patients. There were more than 2000 persons diagnosed with Lyme disease between 2000 and 2018 and having 6...
