Accuracy is the "closeness of an observation to the true clinical state" (Sackett et al., 1986).[1]
Antibody

Antibodies
antibodies
Immunoglobulin
immunoglobulin
Antibodies or immunoglobulin refers to any of a large number of specific proteins produced by B cells that act against an antigen in an immune response. [2]
Bias
bias
biased
"Bias in research is "a systematic deviation of an observation from the true clinical state" (Sackett et al., 1986).[1]
Bradycardia
bradycardia
slowness of the heartbeat, so that the pulse rate is less than 60 per minute in an adult.[3]
CBT
Cognitive behavioral therapy[citation needed]
Cell Membrane

Cell membrane
Cell Membranes
cell membranes
Cell membranes

CF
Chronic fatigue; this persistent and abnormal is a symptom not an illness. May be caused by depression, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or many other illnesses.[5]
Cognitions
cognitions
Thoughts
Fukuda criteria
The most commonly used criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome, created by the CDC.[6]
GET
Graded Exercise Therapy, a gradual increase in exercise or activity, according to a pre-defined plan.[7]
Iatrogenesis
iatrogenesis
Iatrogenic harm
iatrogenic harm
Iatrogenic
iatrogenic
Accidental harm caused by a doctor or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures.[8]
ME
M.E.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis or M.E. has different diagnostic criteria to chronic fatigue syndrome; neurological symptoms are required but fatigue is an optional symptom.[9] Many people with CFS do not have ME, although the World Health Organization and others use ME and CFS interchangeably.[10][11]
ME/CFS
Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome, often used when both illnesses are considered the same.


RCT
RCTs
Randomized controlled trial
randomized controlled trial
Randomised controlled trial
randomised controlled trial
Randomized controlled trial. Participants are randomly assigned to two or more groups, with one group receiving the treatment and a control or comparison group receiving a different treatment or placebo. (A glossary of EBM terms, BMJ).
NICE guidelines
NICE
NICE guidelines are clinical guidelines used in the UK.[12]
Pharyngitis
pharyngitis
Pharyngitis is a sudden swelling of the pharnyx caused by an infection, eg Streptococcus. The hallmark symptom is a sore throat without cough.[13][14]
Phase 3
Phase III
phase 3
phase III
Last phase of clinical trials before a drug can be approved for public use.[15]
POTS
POTS
SEID
Systematic Exertion Intolerance Disease. A new term with new diagnostic criteria designed to replace chronic fatigue syndrome.[16]
single nucleotide polymorphism
SNP
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced "snip") is a potential genetic mutation that occurs in a single spot in the human genome; a difference in a single DNA building block.[17][18] SNPs are often represented by an "rs" number, such as "rs53576".[19]
Stress fracture
Stress fractures
stress fracture
stress fractures
A tiny crack in a bone caused by repetitive forces such as running or by normal use of a bone that's weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis.[20]
Tachycardia
tachycardia
An unusually rapid heart beat. Can be caused by exercise or illness. A symptom of POTS[21]
WHO
World Health Organization.[22]
