Full title: Interoception in functional motor symptoms and functional seizures: Preliminary evidence of intact accuracy alongside reduced insight and altered sensibility Highlights Intact interoceptive accuracy in functional motor symptoms/seizures (FMS/FS). Potentially reduced...

Highlights A significant correlation was found to exist between fatigue and disability. Total daily activity correlated with fatigue. A lower disability rate, better physical condition, and higher daily-living activity were found to predict lower fatigue levels. Abstract Background Fatigue is...

"Assessment Scale for Symptoms of Fatigue in Children To analyze the findings of this study in relation to those of studies conducted in other countries, instead of developing a scale assessing symptoms of fatigue in children in Mandarin, this study adopted the ten-item scale assessing symptoms...

Abstract The purpose of this research was to investigate the sleeping and dietary factors associated with the prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome among Taiwanese preschoolers. Five-year-old preschoolers were randomly selected using a stratified multistage random cluster sampling method. The...

"In diagnosing CFS, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) criteria were applied"

Interesting. I searched for studies looking for cell-free DNA in ME/CFS patients and found one that found no difference with controls, Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and circulating cell-free DNA from plasma of chronic fatigue syndrome and non-fatigued subjects 2002 Vernon et al, and one...

"The patients attended a private practice specializing in ME/CFS and all satisfied the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) diagnostic criteria for CFS [5]. A review of the clinical notes shows that most, if not all, patients also satisfied the more stringent ICCME"

Abstract The objectives of this study are to test the hypothesis that the fatigue and accompanying symptoms of Chronic Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Fatigue Syndrome are in part due to defects in energy provision at the cellular level, and to understand the pathophysiology of the defects so that...

Fukuda selection criteria.

Background The association of an infectious agent with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been difficult and is further complicated by the lack of a known lesion or diseased tissue. Cell-free plasma DNA could serve as a sentinel of infection and disease occurring throughout the body. This type...

"Out of 18 pSS patients that completed evaluation for the CCC (Figure A1 of the Appendix A), 13 patients fulfilled criterion 1, stating that they were experiencing significant fatigue. Eleven of those patients stated that they were experiencing PEM after mental or emotional exertion, with only...
