Labelling PE CPET gains a “growth mirage” is rhetoric, not physiology. Growth doesn’t selectively improve workload, symptoms, and efficiency at matched HR. Dismissing consistent functional gains is ideology, not science #pectusexcavatum

Gold-standard PE outcome study: prospective, growth-matched controls; DXA-indexed VO₂; submaximal CPET; cardiac MRI (rest + exercise); symptom & activity data; ≥2-yr follow-up. Anatomy → physiology → function. Anything less stays debatable. #pectusexcavatum

Want to convince PE sceptics? Show ↑ VO₂max indexed to lean mass, ↑ anaerobic threshold, better VO₂–work slope, ↓ VE/VCO₂—and link them to imaging evidence of ↑ stroke volume. O₂-pulse alone won’t cut it. Close the loop. #pectusexcavatum

The Physiological Mirage: Why Oxygen Pulse Overstates Surgical Success in Pectus Excavatum While Shakespeare mused that one might “by indirections find directions out”, science - particularly in the surgical and medical physiological domains - demands directness, rigor, and transparency. No...

O₂-pulse is an imperfect surrogate—but calling post-op CPET gains in pectus excavatum a “growth mirage” overreaches. Flat indexed VO₂ ≠ no physiology. CPET may miss submaximal, RV-filling, and symptom-relevant improvements www.jpedsurg.org/article/S002...

Long Covid is not a cold, perhaps the NHS need to work on their misreporting?

All the asinine commenters are going to look really foolish when Squadron 42 releases... 😌

One positive from the derby. Woltemade now has scored as many goals in the wrong net as Isak has in the right net.

I've had a flair up from long covid, and my diaphragm has been pulsing, a bit hard to explain, but I feel your suffering.

Squadron 42 Soundtrack - UEE Hymn (Geoff Zanelli) [partial] YouTube video by chiffmonkey

"When darkness is all around us
Our Light and our might shines for all
We stand up for those in peril
To fight so our world cannot fall
We pledge our lives in sacrifice
to honour our righteous cause
United in purpose, all!" UEE Hymn ⏳

I'm thinking maybe they should give Darren Eales the honorary title "CEO Emeritus", since he was here when we won the first trophy in years. #nufc

Still doesn't mean we will sell to an English club

Might scupper his move to Real Madrid in 12 months time if he doesn't play. As well as his world cup place.

If the market is Tyneside that is a small market indeed and NUFC set the price.

Ramsey certainly would give us the potential to unlock low block teams as we try to play with more possession. Wonder if he would get more game time than Joelinton?

Wonder if Isak's NUFC supporting landlord has evicted him? #nufc

Interesting, but he still needs better representation and the PFA could not be any worse than his current agent, and might spell out the risks to him.
