    STAT News: In counties with more Black doctors, Black people live longer, ‘astonishing’ study finds

    I can well believe the title. I just wish that more female doctors led to better treatment for female patients.

    UK: Sheffield Children’s Hospital, NHS, CFS/ME clinic

    I found a link with the same title as the 1st link : https://www.oxfordhealth.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Young-Persons-Guide-to-CFS-ME.pdf Link 5 suggests where the information might have moved to but I didn't follow it up ...

    Genomic Diagnosis of Rare Pediatric Disease in the United Kingdom and Ireland, 2023, Wright et al.

    Those paediatric patients - assuming their genetic condition doesn't increase the risk of early death - grow up to be adult patients. I wonder if there are there any plans to let adults get tested if they are suspected of having an undiagnosed genetic disease?

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    Even so-called mild anaemia is exhausting and causes all sorts of other symptoms, so I can empathise and sympathise with him.

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    Just out of curiosity, was it your son or your daughter who was dismissed?

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    I thought this might be of interest in relation to the Pfizer vaccine : https://lesmoutonsenrages.fr/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/NIH-Clinical-Trials-Vaccine-Pfizer-BNT162b12-.pdf The link contains info from ClinicalTrials.gov that has been saved as a PDF file. Presumably this was because the...

    McGill OSS Article: Andrew Huberman Has Supplements on the Brain

    Vitamin E supplements are not all equal. According to wikipedia "Vitamin E is a group of eight fat soluble compounds that include four tocopherols and four tocotrienols." Many vitamin E supplements just contain alpha-tocopherol. Some people swear by supplements that contain just the...

    Considerations in the Management of Functional Neurological Disorders in Patients with Hearing Loss 2023 Libdeh et al

    I'd be checking his cortisol levels. Being burgled is stressful. So is being deaf. His cortisol levels may have rocketed after the burglary, and already been high as a result of his deafness. And is tremor or effects on cortisol one of the side effects of his ADHD medication?

    Helicobacter pylori, Homologous-Recombination Genes, and Gastric Cancer, 2023, Yoshiaki Usui et al

    Helicobacter pylori is described as an infection. A gut infection of this type probably populates itself within an infected person from the mouth to the anus. It might be found in vomit, spit, faeces, plus possibly urine, snot and phlegm. So with people eating together, kissing each other...

    The relationship between interpersonal violence in adulthood and mental health: a longitudinal study based on the Northern Swedish Cohort 2023 Ziaei

    How will this research be used in future? I can imagine the following scenario: Someone who is known to have been exposed to violence or has been in the past or has been physically attacked themselves, will have doctors jumping to the conclusion that any physical symptoms are a result of...

    (sarcasm) Clearly a doctor with lots of empathy and a winning personality who has a deep understanding of how people tick. :banghead:

    How Might Benzodiapines (Ativan, Clonazapem) help with ME/CFS?

    I was first given a single injected dose of metoclopramide as an anti-emetic during a surgery in the 1990s. When I came round from the anaesthetic my hands and knees were flapping and jumping around even while I was lying down. The anaesthetist told me what she thought I was probably reacting to...

    How Might Benzodiapines (Ativan, Clonazapem) help with ME/CFS?

    Metoclopramide The doctor who prescribed it described it as a Prokinetic Agent I had to be given an antidote to the metoclopramide. There are a few available, but I can't remember what it was I was given. I only took 5 tablets in total (of the metoclopramide), but it took about three months...

    How Might Benzodiapines (Ativan, Clonazapem) help with ME/CFS?

    I would be wary of taking Ativan, which is addictive. It can also cause movement disorders such as ataxia, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia. Having (briefly) had akathisia as a result of a drug I was taking to improve gut motility, and had to give it up after three days, I would never agree to...

    Sex and gender differences in primary care help-seeking for common somatic symptoms: a longitudinal study 2023 Ballering, Rosmalen et al

    A few years ago I had a copious GI bleed. It went on for several years. Initially I was worried that I might have cancer. But due to the total incompetence and disbelief I met with I thought I might bleed to death or die of heart failure before diagnosis because the bleeding was getting worse...
