Functional neurological disorders have witnessed intense research activity in the fields of structural and functional neuroimaging for more than twenty years. Thus, we propose a synthesis of recent research findings and etiological hypotheses that have been proposed so far. This work should help...

Abstract The discovery and development of antimicrobial therapies represents one of the most significant advancements in modern medicine. Although the primary therapeutic intent of antimicrobials is to eliminate their target pathogens, several antimicrobials have been shown to provide analgesia...

Wonder what they would have found if they had done two exercise tests on consecutive days.

Background Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibit low peak oxygen uptake ( ˙VO2peak). We aimed to detect the contribution of cardiac output to ( ˙Q) and arteriovenous oxygen difference [C(a-v)O2] to ˙VO2 from rest to peak exercise in patients with FM. Methods Thirty-five women with FM, aged...

Abstract Post-infectious fatigue is a common complication that can lead to decreased physical efficiency, depression, and impaired quality of life. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been proposed as a contributing factor, as the gut–brain axis plays an important role in regulating physical...

They are careful to avoid explaining in the paper what they count as functional disorders, so they tuck their search terms away on a separate document found at https://osf.io/usc7a ("dizziness") ("bodily distress") ("CFS") ("chemical sensitivity") ("chronic benign pain syndrome") ("chronic...

Highlights Collaborative care networks in functional disorders are heterogeneous. Most networks are outpatient, secondary-care based, with two to 19 team members. Networks provide a wide range of treatments reflecting a biopsychosocial approach. Collaboration is documented as more common in...

Trial By Error: A Letter Requesting Corrections of Inflated Prevalence Rates in Nine More FND Papers "Several colleagues and I recently wrote to the journal NeuroImage: Clinical to request a correction in a 2021 article about functional neurological disorder (FND). The article included the...

"viral operational taxonomic unit" - now you know as much as I do!

From the discussion, "Just as with Eskimos who can differentiate multiple varieties of snow, patients with ME/CFS can differentiate in more sophisticated ways subtle frequency and severity differences in symptoms that are not noticed among those in the non-symptomatic, healthy population." Not...

Objective Exercise is recommended as a main treatment in fibromyalgia. However, many people have limited exercise tolerance and report exacerbated pain and fatigue during and following a bout of exercise. This study examined the local and systemic change in perceived pain and fatigue during...
