Highlights • Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 display marked impairment in endothelial function, which is persistent following recovery from the acute infection. • Red blood cells (RBCs) from patients with COVID-19 impair vascular function through mechanisms involving increased arginase 1...

Abstract Background Myalgic encephalitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) has again come into focus as a result of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Fundamentally problematic is the fact that ME/CFS is considered a separate entity; however, extreme fatigue is also a common symptom of an...

Abstract Background Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex and often disabling chronic condition emerging worldwide, with no curative or definitive therapy yet identified. Ginseng has been widely used to treat fatigue in other patient groups and conditions; however, a systematic review...
