My point 1 could "just" have been about cloning 101 patients to get statistical significance. But the WBC stuff makes me think the entire dataset is fake.

I honestly thought that the analgaesia from BFR was placebo, so we did a sham-controlled crossover RCT, and seems there's something there: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
Probably not due to sensitisation-local or global

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

🧪 New paper alert! We keep trying to understand muscle-tendon crosstalk. Here we determined whether exosomes could explain why serum after resistance exercise makes bigger stronger tendons. Contrary to our hypothesis, it is not exosomes. The search goes on.

Following resistance exercise, systemic changes foster improved functionality of tendons and ligaments. Post-exercise, muscle tissue releases exosomes…

Reminder that ice for injury was built on very shaky foundations.
Better strength after just 4 days, hot water also better for pain
