Variation in Repeated Handgrip Strength Testing Indicates Submaximal Force Production in Patients With Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Stoyan Popkirov Background Changes in handgrip strength have recently been adapted as clinical biomarkers for myalgic...

Abstract Background/Objectives: Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction are common in infection-associated chronic conditions and illnesses (IACCIs), including myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This study aimed to evaluate autonomic symptoms and their impact on ME/CFS...

Abstract Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a defining symptom of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), yet its molecular underpinnings remain elusive. This study investigated the temporal–longitudinal DNA methylation changes associated with PEM using a structured two-day...

Abstract: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic and debilitating disease with unknown cause. Involvement of infection and immune dysregulation has been suggested, including changes in immune cell subsets and abnormal functions of natural killer (NK) cells. The...

The emerging role of exosomal LncRNAs in chronic fatigue syndrome: from intercellular communication to disease biomarkers Lei Wang, Yujia Xu, Xiang Zhong, Guiping Wang, Zijun Shi, Can Mei, Linwanyue Chen, Jianbo Zhan, Jing Cheng [Line breaks added] Abstract Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a...

Abstract: Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a chronic, multisystem illness characterized by post-exertional malaise (PEM) and cognitive dysfunction, yet the molecular mechanisms driving these hallmark symptoms remain unclear. This study investigated haptoglobin (Hp) as a potential...

Abstract: Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex and debilitating condition with a large proportion of patients that experience orthostatic intolerance (OI). This systematic review aimed to assess whether cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced in ME/CFS...

Abstract: Autoimmunity is a key clinical feature in both post-infectious Myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID (PASC). Passive transfer of immunoglobulins from patients' sera into mice induces some clinical features of PASC. IgG-induced...

ABSTRACT Background: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling condition associated with substantial functional impairment. Although historically considered non-fatal, recent studies have suggested a link between ME/CFS and premature mortality. Objective: To...
