Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Labelling PE CPET gains a “growth mirage” is rhetoric, not physiology. Growth doesn’t selectively improve workload, symptoms, and efficiency at matched HR. Dismissing consistent functional gains is ideology, not science #pectusexcavatum 000
Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Gold-standard PE outcome study: prospective, growth-matched controls; DXA-indexed VO₂; submaximal CPET; cardiac MRI (rest + exercise); symptom & activity data; ≥2-yr follow-up. Anatomy → physiology → function. Anything less stays debatable. #pectusexcavatum 000
Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Want to convince PE sceptics? Show ↑ VO₂max indexed to lean mass, ↑ anaerobic threshold, better VO₂–work slope, ↓ VE/VCO₂—and link them to imaging evidence of ↑ stroke volume. O₂-pulse alone won’t cut it. Close the loop. #pectusexcavatum 000
Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 01/02/2026O₂-pulse is an imperfect surrogate—but calling post-op CPET gains in pectus excavatum a “growth mirage” overreaches. Flat indexed VO₂ ≠ no physiology. CPET may miss submaximal, RV-filling, and symptom-relevant improvements www.jpedsurg.org/article/S002...jpedsurg.orgThe Physiological Mirage: Why Oxygen Pulse Overstates Surgical Success in Pectus ExcavatumWhile Shakespeare mused that one might “by indirections find directions out”, science - particularly in the surgical and medical physiological domains - demands directness, rigor, and transparency.

Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Mika Biereth is someone we could look at: extremely aggressive at pressing could be a very interesting fit in an Eddie Howe side. Fits more of a slower Chris Wood profile but that worked well with Elanga. A decent option off bench. Probably too tough to sign though #nufc 000
Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 04/08/2025If it's true that Sekso has decided he wants both clubs, that sends alarm bells. He clearly wants a bidding war, and seems a bit disrespectful to all parties. I'm not sure he is worth the trouble. Newcastle are doing him a favour here, to not give one club a definitive answer is a red flag. 300
Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 03/08/2025If Man U can afford Sesko why don't they show the money and place a bid? Maybe they can't until they make sales, but they can't sell their players. They don't appear to be a serious bidder right now. Newcastle looking willing and able to finalise the deal right now. #nufc 420

Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 31/07/2025NUFC fans are unbelievable sometimes overreacting to things.

Reposted by Nic BenbowSuburbanGoonerChris @suburbangooner.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Sky reporting Isak not a target for Chelsea or United. Arsenal and Liverpool just made their move, so unless Liverpool get silly money for Nunez and Diaz (let's hope not), then what are Isak's options? Like I said earlier - this feels very "Alexander Isak has signed a new deal with the club" 291
Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Benjamin Šeško could play in Howe's system but in no way is he an elite level signing, he is worse than Isak in every regard. We need more than potential as our main striker if Isak leaves. Retegui would have been good but he's gone Saudi. Burkardt's gone to Frankfurt. Everyone good has moved. 000
Nic Benbow @nicbenbow.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Well, Isak apparently hasn't handed in a transfer request yet, and "exploring options" doesn't necessarily mean staying isn't one of them. Wait and see. 110
