Abstract Background Orthostatic syncope (transient loss of consciousness when standing—fainting) is common and negatively impacts quality of life. Many patients with syncope report experiencing fatigue, sometimes with “brain fog”, which may further impact their quality of life, but the incidence...

Materials and Methods Experimental Protocol We recruited PD patients from the Movement Disorders Clinic at Sanford Health in Fargo, ND. All PD patients met at least two of the four diagnostic criteria for PD: bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural instability, and were DOPA responders. We...

Dietary supplement for mood symptoms in early postpartum: a double-blind randomized placebo controlled trial https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00172-X/fulltext

Canadian researchers create natural supplement to combat postpartum blues https://globalnews.ca/news/10413933/postpartum-blues-natural-supplement-blues-away-canada/ Watched the interview with the researcher this morning. The researchers are looking into creating a supplement for...

Yes, but I couldn't stand for more than 2 minutes. I rested for 3 1/2 weeks and felt I had recovered and gone back to my baseline after one month so went out for a very nice 50 minute walk only to get up the next morning unable to stand up on my legs again. I had to crawl around and eat out...

I contracted COVID in 2022 and it didn't resemble M.E PEM at all, not even close. No cognitive issues or other symptoms of delayed ME PEM. But, it was similar to PVFS over exertion I experienced during sudden viral onset in 1992. It affected legs muscles only, the only muscles I used for...

The new diagnostic system combines Schmidt’s area of expertise in optofluidics, which is the control of tiny amounts of fluids with beams of light, with a nanopore for counting single nucleic acids to read genetic material. The tool was designed to test for Zika and SARS-CoV-2, which have been...

Although not without limitations, our data provide strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2, in some form or location, persists for up to 14 months following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. This persistence is influenced by the events of acute infection. These findings motivate an urgent research agenda...

Yes :emoji_hand_splayed: and these are the pwME who eventually reach the point of no return when they might have had a small chance of returning to work part-time or having a small social life early in the illness if they paced properly and didn't exercise. I continued to run for 2 yrs, but...

:emoji_coffee:Stay well hydrated! ;) Coffee as a dietary strategy to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection https://cellandbioscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13578-023-01154-9

Wasn't sure if I should post this on the tea thread.

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infects the oral mucosa and is shed in salivary fluids. Traditionally, tea has been used by various cultures to treat respiratory ailments. The objective of this study was to identify commercially available teas that can rapidly inactivate infectious SARS-CoV-2 in saliva...

“This is the first and largest systematic study evaluating brain pH and lactate levels across a range of animal models for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Our findings may lay the groundwork for new approaches to develop the transdiagnostic characterization of different...

Full Title: Large-scale animal model study uncovers altered brain pH and lactate levels as a transdiagnostic endophenotype of neuropsychiatric disorders involving cognitive impairment Abstract Increased levels of lactate, an end-product of glycolysis, have been proposed as a potential surrogate...

Introduction: Acupuncture analgesia (AA) is widely used in clinical practice. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) may be an important pathway for acupuncture signal transduction. However, real-time changes in autonomic function during AA and the effect of “needle sensation” remain unclear...

I am also interested in learning about lactate levels in the brain and how they negatively interplay with cognitive and physical activities.

Abstract Microneedle lactate sensors may be used to continuously measure lactate concentration in the interstitial fluid in a minimally invasive and pain-free manner. First- and second-generation enzymatic sensors produce a redox-active product that is electrochemically sensed at the electrode...

Earbud biosensors provide continuous monitoring of brain activity and lactate levels “Being able to measure the dynamics of both brain cognitive activity and body metabolic state in one in-ear integrated device that doesn’t intrude on the comfort and mobility of the user opens up tremendous...

Abstract Owing to the proximity of the ear canal to the central nervous system, in-ear electrophysiological systems can be used to unobtrusively monitor brain states. Here, by taking advantage of the ear’s exocrine sweat glands, we describe an in-ear integrated array of electrochemical and...

My M.E doctor told me back in 1992 that 2 of his pts developed acute M.E onset from a sting.
