Wow, so you can have people answer a bunch of questionnaires. Fascinating. Truly groundbreaking stuff. How do they go from to that asserting that one such questionnaire must be "clinically useful" is just as fascinating.

Even Google is throwing in the towel on this one. First I've seen of it. We have a new label, folks! It's going to be all the rage somewhere at some point.

Absolutely nothing of value was gained from this study, so a true psychosocial study. I have no idea why it makes sense to them to single out literally the most common symptom of illness and obsess over it. Other than wanting to supply the "solution" to it, which is of course what this is about...

Activity management sounds like handling kindergartners. It's like they can't help themselves being condescending, even when they have to do pacing, they will give it the most possibly insulting name as if we're just a bunch of toddlers who need our activities managed. And of course it's the...

The CMV Moderna vaccine appears to be entering phase 3.

Moved post Excess risk and clusters of symptoms after COVID-19 in a large Norwegian cohort https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.15.21265038v1 (Paragraphs mine for legibility) We aimed to calculate the excess risk and identify patterns of 22 symptoms up to 12 months after COVID-19...

A Belgian medical authority has published a report on Long Covid. No idea if it's any good.

I was unsure about the directness of the MEAction campaign, how it's pretty much prescriptive and may be badly received in a "who are you to tell us how to deal with this?" way but see a lot of praise and thanks in hindsight, pretty much for how simple it is. It's not that simple and it's not...

"Building a biopsychosocial model of"

In another disappointing reminder of how little interest there is for women's health in medicine, this has been obvious early on, very commonly reported in LC forums, yet barely recorded or studied at all. You'd almost think this is a taboo subject. Long Covid and menopause - the important...

This post has been copied and following discussion moved from the Long covid in the media thread. In another disappointing reminder of how little interest there is for women's health in medicine, this has been obvious early on, very commonly reported in LC forums, yet barely recorded or...

I think it should be expected that we will have to alert about most of those, I doubt this is a proactive thing. There is especially a lot of archived content out there, things no one will update but will remain published as is unless someone not only points it out but explains it in painful...

What's even more amazing is that it's literally the "effectiveness" of "psychosocial interventions" on those conditions that is cited as evidence for why they are psychosocial, e.g. PACE is commonly cited as having "proved" that ME is psychological since a psychosocial intervention is effective...

If this is the first, how can the introduction list it as having "been implicated"? If this is the first, the citation for the presence of "altered interoception" would be... itself. It's a recursive citation. Because this whole field is a parody of bad science. And many things have been...

In a letter. To the Daily Mail. I frankly can't understand the chain of events that would lead to that, it's so absurd and pathetic.

The usual message coming out so far has been that most exercise programs are not graded, allow patients to go at their own pace. This is especially important to argue the (false) notion that there is no coercion, since by its nature GET is coercive. Odd that they would argue the opposite here...

Yup I mentioned that a while ago, there are many large contracts signed off on this evidence base, from apps to training to provisioning services. Those create major legal problems not just for them, but for administrative and legal offices who will have to do damage control. Legal offices don't...

In what bizzaro universe are those psychosocial factors? Especially weird to include ability and disability, I guess because they wanted to list 3 things and couldn't come up with a third. Ah. Of course. Label stuff "psychosocial" and you can pretend it is by pointing at the label you just put...

I am fairly sure this is a sponsored video for a push by Moderna to market their upcoming vaccines, which appear on track to be multi-purpose and probably standardized in the near future, no reason why multi-pathogen immunizations can't be a standard part of preventative medicine. I mostly...
