KA Hossmann and K Sato http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=4908037 showed in 1970 (quote 19 of the Nature paper!) that cat brains recover an EEG and evoked potentials after up to 1 hour complete arrest of blood circulation. This article was followed by an exchange of letters on ‘Criteria of brain death’, and Hossmann concluded :‘ This suggests that even prolonged electrocerebral silence does not prove the irreversible loss of neuronal function’ https://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/170/3961/1000.1.full.pdf.

Circulatory arrests of up to 20 minutes are documented (silent EEG!) in which patients recovered after resuscitation, possibly with slight neuropsychological deficits (mostly memory deficits, see below, as a result ofdelayed neuronal cell death, this was shown by neuropathologists in the 80s and 90s, see Petito et al. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3614648).

Researchers were disappointed when a clinical trial of a new tuberculosis vaccine failed to show benefit, but should it have gone ahead when animal studies had already raised doubts and what does it mean for future research? Deborah Cohen investigates:

Cohen D. Oxford vaccine study highlights pick and mix approach to preclinical research. BMJ. 2018 Jan 10;360:j5845. http://www.bmj.com/content/360/bmj.j5845.long

We must review how we use animal data to underpin clinical trials in humans:

Macleod M. Learning lessons from MVA85A, a failed booster vaccine for BCG. BMJ. 2018 Jan 10;360:k66. http://www.bmj.com/content/360/bmj.k66.long

Responsible bodies should demand high quality reporting and systematic reviews of animal studies:

Ritskes-Hoitinga M, Wever K.Improving the conduct, reporting, and appraisal of animal research. BMJ. 2018 Jan 10;360:j4935. http://www.bmj.com/content/360/bmj.j4935.long

A systematic review of the animal data does not provide evidence to support efficacy of MVA85A as a BCG booster:

Kashangura R, Sena ES, Young T, Garner P. Effects of MVA85A vaccine on tuberculosis challenge in animals: systematic review. Int J Epidemiol. 2015 Dec;44(6):1970-81.  https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/44/6/1970/2572503

As always, David Colquhoun brilliantly summarizes the issue in his blog DC’s Improbable Science:

Colquhoun D. Placebo effects are weak: regression to the mean is the main reason ineffective treatments appear to work. http://www.dcscience.net/2015/12/11/placebo-effects-are-weak-regression-to-the-mean-is-the-main-reason-ineffective-treatments-appear-to-work/

Highly recommended. Stephen Senn tackles the issue with a historical excursion, and a bit more serious statistics. Contains references to full statistical treatments of regression to the mean:

Senn S (2011)  Francis Galton and regression to the mean. Significance 8:124-126 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1740-9713.2011.00509.x/full

When the first large Cochrane review was published, concluding that there is little evidence to support the existence of the placebo effect, the New England Journal ran this very readable editorial:

Bailar JC (2001) The Powerful Placebo and the Wizard of Oz. N Engl J Med 2001; 344:1630-1632 http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM200105243442111

Most recent Cochrane review on placebo interventions:

Hróbjartsson A, Gøtzsche PC (2010)  Placebo interventions for all clinical conditions. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2010 Jan 20;(1):CD003974. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD003974.pub3

This narrative review present the classic view on placebo effects. The authors use only one citation (to another narrative review by the same authors) to claim the existence of the placebo effect:

 ‘ Moreover, recent clinical research into placebo effects has provided compelling evidence that these effects are genuine biopsychosocial phenomena that represent more than simply spontaneous remission, normal symptom fluctuations, and regression to the mean. “

It would have been nice to see reference to evidence from original studies or systematic reviews.

How much would each researcher receive if competitive government research funding were distributed equally among researchers?

‘According to our results, researchers could, on average, maintain current PhD student and Postdoc employment levels, and still have at their disposal a moderate (the U.K.) to considerable (the Netherlands, U.S.) budget for travel and equipment. This suggests that the worry that egalitarian sharing leads to unacceptable dilution of resources is unjustified. Indeed, our results strongly suggest that there is room for far more egalitarian distribution of funds than happens in the highly competitive funding schemes so prevalent today.’
