Do you guys think that playing on artifical turf might be a factor?
I've read that players get more concussions and injuries in general playing on turf vs grass and that turf has some toxicity concerns as well.
Scotland uses turf more than a lot of other countries which could maybe contribute to their higher estimate.
"The highest reported usage of synthetic turf, according to the survey results, occurs in Norway (84%), followed by Ireland and Scotland (81% each) and Moldova (75%)."

Adding your comment to the article that I also have not read I now understand that weed can fix everything. Nice!

If makes them near as sick playing it as it makes me watching it they have my sympathy.

I could try to manually set it and see if I feel better but since I'm fine, I figure there's some medical reason not to do more than necessary and my route is in following up with them. It's just hard to follow up with this stuff without extra money or energy, but at the same time letting 10 years go by half-abled without any help isn't acceptable. It's just hard to have hope when nothing helps, anxiety/depression med route total nope, stims don't help, cpap therapy didn't really help, thyroid replacement didn't really help.
It feels like the deeper you go trying to see specialists the more you are just stranding yourself for nothing.

If I’ve correctly understood this article, which I haven’t read, then weed cures cancer. Nice!

Doesn’t seem the worst thing to happen.

I’d find that to be torture, personally. I find that any pressure below around 12 feels like it’s harder to breath than without wearing at all. It isn’t - it just feels that the flow doesn’t instantly adjust, so it kinda feels like you’re breathing through a straw.
(FWIW, on therapy for a bit over 7 years now, using an auto set pressure of 17-20. 20 is the highest my machine goes… actual peak pressure used most nights is around 19-19.2. AHI of <1 most nights, even “bad” nights are 1.5-2ish. I treated I was somewhere in the mid 50s, well into “severe”.

Though I generally agree with what you are saying, a single paragraph to explain it in lay terms is not 10x as long. Also, I feel that to some extent it is the social responsibility of researchers to make knowledge available to as many people as possible. This also helps them because where public support goes money often follows.

It’s abundantly clear to anyone in the field who knows the language and terminology. Papers would be ten times as long to read if they stuck to nontechnical terms. The primary audience of these papers is other people in this area of research. It’s not anyone in academia’s job to make them understandable for everyone. Learn big words make shorter sentences.

I saw a paper awhile ago that compared two cohorts of players, those who practiced head balls and those who did not. Their average IQ differed by nearly 15 points, a whole standard deviation. Causality comes up, Do only smarties avoid unnecessary head balls. Here is a different paper showing an Association w Neuro damage. https://neurosciencenews.com/neurology-brain-abnormality-soccer-concussion-195/
