Abstract Objective: There is limited research examining the impact of the validity of cognitive test performance on treatment outcome. All known studies to date have operationalized performance validity dichotomously, leading to the loss of predictive information. Using the range of scores on a...

Abstract from 2021 preprint There is strong evidence for brain-related pathologies in COVID-19, some of which could be a consequence of viral neurotropism. The vast majority of brain imaging studies so far have focused on qualitative, gross pathology of moderate to severe cases, often carried...

Abstract Objective: How can it be that a disease as serious as CFS affecting such a large number of people could be so unknown to the general population? The answer given to this question is based on Pierre Bourdieu’s analyzes of symbolic violence. Method: The “letters to the editor” by CFS...

Abstract Aims: Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is poorly understood in Gulf War Illness (GWI). Exercise challenges have emerged as stimuli to study PEM; however, little attention has been paid to unique cardiorespiratory and perceptual responses during exercise. This study tested whether select...

Split from Effect of Galantamine Hydrobromide in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome A Randomized Controlled Trial, 2004, Blacker et al.. The quote in this post refers to the Blacker paper. This might also be of interest. It's the main result of an open-label study by Vermeulen et al. published in 2004...

(Note that this is an old study from 2004) Abstract Context: There is no established pharmacological treatment for the core symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Galantamine hydrobromide, an acetyl cholesterone inhibitor, has pharmacological properties that might benefit patients with...

Highlights • Chronic inflammation can be caused by organelle (e.g., mitochondria) malfunction. • Dysfunctional mitochondria release DAMPs that trigger inflammation through PRRs. • Salivary cells’ mitochondria show ultrastructural alterations in Sjögren’s syndrome. • Endoplasmic reticulum...

Abstract The coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, is leading to unknown and unusual health conditions that are challenging to manage. Post-COVID-19 syndrome is one of those challenges, having become increasingly common...

Abstract During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, neurological symptoms increasingly moved into the focus of interest. In this prospective cohort study, we assessed neurological and cognitive symptoms in hospitalized coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19)...

Funded study in progress. Abstract: Background: Paediatric Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Myalgic Encaphalistis (CFS/ME) is disabling and relatively common (1-2% of teenagers). We need to improve treatment but need a well developed Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) to do this. Clinical...

Abstract Post-exertional malaise (PEM), the key feature of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), is characterized by baseline symptom exacerbation after exposure to a stressor, and some patients can experience new or non-typical symptoms. We hypothesized that new or...
