Hi demo,

Still possible... and I have been sent feedback in the evening, especially given the different timezones.

I know a priority was set on completing the review... but I will follow up again tomorrow, if I don't hear back by the end of the day.

Let you know ASAP.

All the best,
Jacqui

Hi Demo, you too! [Happy Easter]

I received the [interim] report so I'll send over Monday morning after reviewing.

All the best,

Jacqui

Am I alone to think think this delay is crazy ?I know its science and we have a such an experimented team at Nord but in the world I live, such a delay without any explanation is not acceptable.

I'm not expecting much of this report but we all payed for that and have already been waited such a long time ; I think we deserve a bit of courtesy

I can say with certainty that most medical research can be slow and frustrating at times.

I wish we get to know about some medicine with this research. Though official drug may take some time.


Let's hope that our future POIS pharmaceutical research goes better than this:


;D

Dear Demografx!

1) Would you please to to summarise - to write some words about current situation with POIS-research by BArry Komisaruk.
Do we have any results? Any recommendation for us?
Are we waiting for any another information from Barry?

2) By your own opinion. By your own current feelings and experience - what is the POIS in your case? How are you defending yourself from POIS and how are you fighting against symptoms of POIS?
I appreciate you for your answer!

Regards,
Dmitry!

Hi Dmitry,

1) here are the first 2 scientific progress reports so far that Dr Komisaruk submitted to NORD -- we are still waiting for #3:

#4 (the Final Report) is due: September 18, 2016.
 

2) I personally found testosterone to be very effective for my POIS:

From email exchange today between demografx and Jacqui Kraska/NORD:

The PI (principal investigator), Dr Komisaruk, did send his scientific report and actually it is comprehensive. However, NORD's  Medical Advisory (MAC) does need to review the report for assessing the work that has been done and progression in comparison to the previous report, and give approval before we publish the public section. Our MAC is made up of volunteers who review reports and fulfill all other MAC responsibilities in their spare time and Jacqui Kraska truly believes given their professional commitments they do the best they can. There were an extensive number of reports that went over last time (more than ever in the past) and it's taken time to do the reviews and looking at prior reports.....

Jacqui is sorry that she cannot share them earlier, but she cannot herself do this piece of work, all she can do is follow up and be supportive of MAC doing it.

This report is not going to tell us much right? It is the final paper that will tell us what really want to know, the results.
