    Long-term outcomes following hospital admission for COVID-19 versus seasonal influenza: a cohort study, 2023, Xie, Al-Aly et al.

    I don't think anybody should be suprised that any health disruption happening to 70 year old males with several comorbidities can bare health consequences. I strongly doubt you'll find any useful answers there though or that it's even anything worth studying in the fashion it's done here...

    The Observer/Guardian article: Does the microbiome hold the key to chronic fatigue? About patient led 'research' group Remission Biome.

    Dr.T. : "Important note to my followers and the @remissionbiome community: I am no longer associated with @remissionbiome or Renegade Research. I owe you all an explanation and one will be forthcoming once I have been given the legal go ahead. My mission remains the same as it has always been...

    In vitro B cell experiments explore the role of CD24, CD38 and energy metabolism in ME/CFS, 2023, Armstrong et al

    In vitro B cell experiments explore the role of CD24, CD38 and energy metabolism in ME/CFS Disturbances of energy metabolism contribute to clinical manifestations of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Previously we found that B cells from ME/CFS patients have...

    CDC Data Brief: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Adults: United States, 2021–2022, 2023, Vahratian, Unger et al

    It seems to me that it would be fairly easy and useful to do some statistically significant sampling of health records within the CDC study or a similar one (sampling a subset of the patients in the survey to have doctors appointments would also be great, but probably too much effort). The...

    Mechanisms underlying exercise intolerance in Long COVID: an accumulation of multi-system dysfunction, 2023, Jamieson et al

    Cohort characteristics: Matching isn't perfect with LC patients having quite a few pre-existing conditions (as they mention in the limitations section these pre-existing health conditions make it harder to draw conclusions): They used NIRS, previously discussed here They also mention that...

    Blood transcriptomics reveal persistent SARS-CoV-2 RNA and candidate biomarkers in Long COVID patients, 2024, Menezes et al.

When such "phenomenal" and very interesting preliminary results, which do significantly differ from previous results, are presented by a new team from a "smaller" lab I find...

    CDC Data Brief: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Adults: United States, 2021–2022, 2023, Vahratian, Unger et al

    Not necessarily. It's also explainable by ME/CFS patients having a lower live expectancy than healthy people. I believe there is sufficient evidence and reasoning to make such a claim, albeit ME/CFS not being a directly deadly disease (lower income, less accessibility to health care and...

    Doing something about that is clearly not an option. Instead, perhaps the general public and especially these economists overfocused on facts and evidence should have to do CBT so that they can ignore these high economic costs and don’t become hypersensitive to them? Is CBT for economists a...

    CDC Data Brief: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Adults: United States, 2021–2022, 2023, Vahratian, Unger et al

    Wow, roughly 4,3 million people in the US alone and this does not include undiagnosed patients as the survey is based on a doctors diagnosis! If true, that would be an extremely high prevalence, between 3-4 times that of MS or roughly double of MS and HIV combined. I wonder how much of an...

    2023 Burnet Oration: Dr Ziyad Al-Aly

    Ziyad Al-Aly is a strong and outspoken advocate for LC with many well-cited papers on LC that have been discussed on this forum. I agree with your interpretation. I think that probably has a lot do with the patients he is looking at and the type of research he is doing. His research is...
