What is POIS / Re: Is POIS a version of CFS?

« Last post by carlo_francesco on February 25, 2025, 04:49:41 AM »

As I stated yesterday:
technical jargon can alienate readers

Alright! I won’t post about scientific matters in the future! It took away much of my time and I have more important things to do anyway. Hopefully our researchers are going to fully figure out POIS soon!

I can appreciate the effort you put into your posts, but this is a sulky attitude. In my everyday technical writing I also tend to overcomplicate things and go down endless rabbit holes of derivations. But most often brevity trumps endless elaborations, if you want to get a point across in scientific matters. As suggested earlier, in the future, you could restrict your posts to the key messages and put your intermediate reasonings into a text file attachment. This allows forum members to follow your arguments in-depth, if they wish.

Introduction, Forum Rules and Admins Messages / Re: Admin Corner

« Last post by demografx on February 25, 2025, 12:19:35 AM »

EVERYONE: for good
 \ forum etiquette /
recognized worldwide…

Why Lengthy Posts Are Discouraged
   1.   Attention Span: Most users have limited time and attention. Long posts can be overwhelming and may deter readers from engaging with your content.
   2.   Clarity: Concise messages are often clearer. Lengthy posts can dilute your main points, making it harder for readers to grasp your arguments or questions.
   3.   Engagement: Shorter posts tend to invite more responses. Users are more likely to reply to a post that is easy to read and understand.
   4.   Scrolling Fatigue: In forums, excessive scrolling can lead to fatigue. Users may skip over long posts altogether, missing valuable insights.

By keeping your posts concise and engaging, you contribute positively to the forum environment, making it enjoyable for everyone involved.

Why Technical Jargon is Discouraged
Also, Internet forum etiquette discourages the use of technical jargon, especially in forums with a non-technical member base.

This is because technical jargon can alienate readers who are not familiar with specialized terms, making it difficult for them to understand and engage with the content. To maintain a welcoming environment, it’s advisable to use plain language alternatives and explain technical terms when necessary. This approach ensures that discussions remain accessible and inclusive for all participants, regardless of their technical background.


Remember, the POISCenter goal is
effective communication that
fosters discussion and community!

Amazing. I'm still a little worried about AI but for us it's a fantastic tool. Have fun typing your name and you will see that he knows you better than you know yourself! 

I did what you suggested. Amazing, b_jim!

Latest post from Progec is ok, it is connected to a mater and wery
well summarized.
Enyone who want to understand what he is wroted, can easly learn
on google, yust can ask what it is.

• mater?

• wroted?

• wery?

• enyone?

• easly?

• yust?

THAT’s good forum communication?


Poor spelling and grammar is poor forum etiquette for several reasons:
   1.   Clarity: Proper spelling and grammar help ensure that your message is clear and easy to understand. When posts are filled with errors, it can be difficult for others to grasp your intended meaning.
   2.   Professionalism: Using proper language can convey respect for the community and the topic being discussed. It shows that you are taking the time to communicate effectively.
   3.   Engagement: Well-written posts are more likely to engage readers and encourage meaningful responses. Poorly written posts might deter others from participating in the conversation.
   4.   Respect for Readers: Taking the time to proofread your posts demonstrates respect for the people who will be reading them. It shows that you value their time and are willing to make an effort to communicate clearly.

If you’re concerned about your spelling and grammar, using tools like spell checkers or grammar checkers can be helpful. Additionally, taking a moment to review your post before submitting it can make a big difference.

• PINK1

• HIF-1alpha factors

• ME/CFS

• mitophagy

• mitochondria

• glycolytic metabolism

• hypoxia

• oxidative stress

• PEM induction

PROGECITOR:

• These are not terms understood by the majority of our non-technical POISCenter forum members

• This is not good forum communication

• This is poor forum etiquette

• Please *E D I T*  & speak “English”!

I repost this for the curious. I hope this way it won’t offend anyone!

Recently the PINK1 and HIF-1alpha factors have been found to be increased in ME/CFS and long covid (LC) patients and there is no reason to believe that this would be any different in the case of POIS.
PINK1 induces mitophagy to eliminate damaged mitochondria, while HIF-1alpha induces glycolytic metabolism due to hypoxia and oxidative stress as a protective mechanism. In long covid patients there is a down shift in the glycolytic metabolism within a week after PEM induction, which makes it very reminiscent of a POIS episode.

Hi Progecitor. Thanks for your response. I'm afraid, perhaps due to all the medical jargon you've used again, I don't understand your summary of your post either! It's way over my head  .Could you write a short summary of your summary? Or maybe you feel the content has been simplified as much as possible already?

Once again, a forum etiquette issue!

@Progecitor

I find it difficult to follow your posts.

If I could tell you in one sentence I would have done so…

Rude reply!

I removed Progecitor’s post from: Today at 05:06:09 AM for his re-submission for length, clarity & technical jargon.
