    Sweden: Stora Skondal to close

    Just for information. I represent the Bragée ME-center. We are as sorrow and supportive for both patients staff at Stora Sköndal and as disappointed as all in this thread, and worried for patients at this dear fellow-clinic, and all in their very long waiting list for care. There are some...

    Signs of Intracranial Hypertension, Hypermobility and Craniocervical Obstructions in patients with ME/CFS (Pre-print 2019/published 2020) Bragée et al

    Hi there friends, no foes for me. I think a forum like this should not be a harsh semiacademic scene, but a place for information on a mutual respectful way. Our article is not aimed as an advocacy for surgery but trying to sort things right and present important clinical findings. So i get a...

    Signs of Intracranial Hypertension, Hypermobility and Craniocervical Obstructions in patients with ME/CFS (Pre-print 2019/published 2020) Bragée et al

    It will be interesting to se the publication. We will sharpen the criterias in next study for certain, and if you have a more reliable score, it would be wonderful to use as well. We do really not wonder but the hypermobility per se, but the possible collagenopathy and its consequences. Nonsens...

    Signs of Intracranial Hypertension, Hypermobility and Craniocervical Obstructions in patients with ME/CFS (Pre-print 2019/published 2020) Bragée et al

    In next study we will use two radiologists, blinded whether it is patient or control. This time blinding was only on other findings. The setting was sort of proof of concept, I was stunned by all hypermobile patients with clear neurological findings, earlier not described in their medical...

    Signs of Intracranial Hypertension, Hypermobility and Craniocervical Obstructions in patients with ME/CFS (Pre-print 2019/published 2020) Bragée et al

    In that way this study was blinded, no examiner/radilogist knew more than the scan he scrutinized. I thought you meant blinded to patient, normally used in clinical pharmacological trials.

    Signs of Intracranial Hypertension, Hypermobility and Craniocervical Obstructions in patients with ME/CFS (Pre-print 2019/published 2020) Bragée et al

    As long as we study MRI findings and CSF samples and so forth, there is no need for blinding, it is not interventional or randomized. Of course there is a point to have a matched control cohort, we plan such a study, yes.

The preprint hade some 2300 downloads, but as always, it is the peer-reviewed article that...
