was unexpectedly away for a few weeks with no opportunity to computer . . . hopefully, I will have the back log current by next Monday.

I feel I am nearing completion; longer than I thought . . . 16 pages plus? Y?

I had no idea it would take this long, ten pages practically done, only small edits remain; ten more pages nearly readable, maybe tomorrow more likely early next week. Sorry!

is the source for the ALS Datasets data in post dated 01-04-2017 04:27 PM

at last I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. If I don't have the report competed in a couple of days I can at least present the first ten to twenty pages.

I have briefed only:

Chapter 5
Qualitative substudy

(its great, at least because it contains comments one might expect to find in 'social media,' though none were found there during their trial).

of:

Qualitative substudy - DiPALS: Diaphragm Pacing in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – a randomised controlled trial - NCBI Bookshelf

Apparently published by DiPALS or some of their members . . . :

and apparently a public document (full scale book)

Publication date is June, 2016, several months ago.

After reviewing this evening, the first half of the report needed very few edits, the second half, while readable needs quite a bit of work. Some thirty pages, not counting references . . . so I avail as prototype and welcome any comment or suggestions. It will likely become 20% to 30% longer.

the first reports one ALS patient weaned from trach after pacer implantation, the second and third address the diaphragm thickness issue, otherwise only reported by Onders at this moment.
