I went looking and responded on the Nanoneedle paper thread. https://www.s4me.info/threads/a-nanoelectronics-blood-based-diagnostic-biomarker-for-me-cfs-2019-esfandyarpour-davis-et-al.9284/page-22#post-253676

Following a question by @FMM1 on another thread I thought I would go looking to see if there was any updated info on the Nanoneedle work. It was one of the applications to NIH that was reported on in the summer of 2019...

This was a good point that the Columbia CRC team made that I hadn't considered

Unfortunately it seems the full text of the thesis is under embago Would have been nice to see the data in tables and figures.

H.Pylori test sounds like a good step. Another test to consider would be a would be a breath test for SIBO which can be done in the doctors office, or with a home kit. A delayed food reaction could also be another common cause, typical with MCAS especially if you are prone to IBS (I don't know...

One other thing to point out is that NIH grants pay a significant percentage of the award to the university for infrastructure costs, which private funding does not normally do. So even with private funding, researchers need a source of government grants to keep their University happy. Or the...

Here is an old R21 that is +1 in number from PA-08-246 https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-08-247.html I have no idea what the difference between the old PA and new PAR.......

There is a good article on Stat News that noninvasive breathing support devices perhaps should be used more before switching to ventilators, and then don't use ventilators on the high setting if possible. https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/08/doctors-say-ventilators-overused-for-covid-19/

A rate of ~15% will never sustain a growth in this area as researchers need sufficient continuous funding for their teams to be viable. No researcher can survive with this rule by studying ME alone which is why we see many broaden their disease base e.g. Jarred Younger, Nancy Klimas. It's so...

And lets not forget that private money and I believe NIH money funded Ian Lipkin/Mady Hornig team to collect ME/CFS blood and other specimens. However they never received funding to fully process those samples. Ugggghhhhhhh. I think the samples for that project were moved from Columbia to NIH...

I don't expect researchers to comment but ....... I'm pretty sure the applications rejected had promising preliminary pilot data to back up the project proposal as that is what OMF is able to fund and for which they have presented interesting avenues. Where do you go from here, and what does...

I'm still concerned about their partnership with the FMT clinic. How do you ensure FMT samples people get will not have COVID-19.

The LSTM has received approximately $3,543,621 from their NIH grant since 2013. https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_history.cfm?aid=9272477&icde=31258613 Bhupesh Prusty is thinking of applying. I think I remember reading someone saying he is thinking of applying jointly with Naviaux...

This tweet has a link to the paper for those that would like more details From paper Worth noting the follow-up tweet

Please note the link in the twitter post highlighted by @Arnie Pye is to a web page on web archive, that has in fact been removed from the medium website.

Some disturbing news coming out of China (tweet by New York Times reporter who reports on China). Here is the news article she refers to about a preliminary pre-peer review paper that antibodies in 1/3 of people are low or undetectable after mild COVID-19 infection...

He has a published paper that shows that when HHV6 infects cells a small non-coding RNA (sncRNA-U14?) can be detected. He has presented (NIH conference?) that the same small non-coding RNA can also be detected in a large subset of ME patients, but not many healthy controls. So while this does...
