What do you really know about the real incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome ? I think that the epidemiological data up-to-date need to be corrected to a higher level of incidence.
Irene Gabashvili, PhD: According to NWHIC and 4Woman.gov prevalence & incidence are about 1 in 100,000 (NWHIC). In the United States, it affects men and women equally & has an incidence of 0.6 to 2.4 cases per 100,000 people. 2,720 people are affected Other studies reported incidence of GBS in pediatric patients to be 1.37/100,000, more common in boys http://www.ayubmed.edu.pk/JAMC/PAST/19-1/07%20Anisur%20Rehman.pdf GBS sufferers online: 60 members: http://www.mdjunction.com/guillain-barre-syndrome 194 members: http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Guillain-Barre-Syndrome-GBS/support-group 21 stories http://www.experienceproject.com/groups/Am-A-Guillain-Barre-Syndrome-Survivor/80194 UK group http://www.gbs.org.uk/index2.shtml

Uri Alon, a PI in the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel, recently published an article in Molecular Cell where he discusses how to build a motivated research group. This essay is important because it touches both on personal and group motivation – something not all PIs consider http://bit.ly/9Wkgu0
