You can't talk about Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) without mentioning ME/CFS. The term PEM was created to describe the unique manifestation occurring in people with ME/CFS.

If you separate PEM from its history and origin, you perpetuate the stigma surrounding ME/CFS. We need visibility and spread of knowledge.

The Pennsylvania coin is the second of four to be released this year. It features the polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk and his team at the University of Pittsburgh in the early 1950s. At the time, polio was a devastating disease that disproportionally affected children and young adults and left many paralyzed and unable to walk.

Abstract
Healing powers have been ascribed to music at least since David's lyre, but a systematic discourse of pathological music emerged only at the end of the eighteenth century. At that time, concerns about the moral threat posed by music were partly replaced by the idea that it could over-stimulate a vulnerable nervous system, leading to illness, immorality, and even death. During the Enlightenment, the relationship between ...

The latest piece of garbage from Paul Strathern's "The Other Renaissance: From Copernicus to Shakespeare." His take on Vesalius is a collection of inaccuracies, myths, and in the case of the relationship between Vesalius and Calcar some pure fantasy.

A plaque commemorating Joseph Lister's initiation of antiseptic surgery in the 1860s while working at as a surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. This was a major event in the development of modern medicine which undoubtedly saved many lives, but how many people know this happened in Glasgow?

This is from an actual article in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine from 1954. It's about how chronic brucellosis patients probably suffer from psychoneurosis.

They say the interpretation of the drawings confirms the report.

I'm amused, but not convinced.

โ€œPatient in Case 3 drew this cat on request to draw an animal. The cat is a symbol of his feminine qualities; its size reveals his fear of femininity and weakness.โ€
