That's an interesting paper! I'm glad someone's looking at this. It rings very true to me. I wonder how this compares country to country? Abstract Previous research has indicated that administrative burdens are particularly high in personalised funding schemes such as the Australian National...

Abstract Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID) are Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) recognized by a variety of symptoms caused by abnormalities within gastrointestinal (GI) motility, visceral hypersensitivity, altered mucosal and immune function, altered gut microbiota, and...

Objective: To investigate the influence of comorbidities on the prognosis of pediatric postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 275 children with POTS admitted to the Department of Pediatrics at Peking University First Hospital were recruited from 2016...

Introduction SARS-CoV-2 infection which causes the disease COVID-19 is most known for its severe respiratory complications. However, a variety of extrapulmonary effects have since been described, with cardiovascular complications being amongst the most common[1]. Those who recover from the acute...
