Full title: Dynamic modeling of experience sampling methodology data reveals large heterogeneity in biopsychosocial factors associated with persistent fatigue in young people living with a chronic condition Highlights • Individual dynamic single-case networks complement group-level research. •...

"#pwme we are submitting a funding proposal for taVNS and are trying to identify what inflammatory panel to use. Two helpful studies - Trianinos et al and Rodriguez et al - any thoughts?" I'm assuming taVNS is Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation.

Always a good look, blaming chronically ill advocates for something that, as far as we know, he himself hasn't done himself.

"A key challenge with these interventions (Pilates, resistance exercises, and neuromodulation) relates to their scalability, which is particularly important when considering the scale of the public health burden in a context of limited health service capacity. However, these therapies were not...

"Based on our study inclusion criteria, we were unable to find any trials conducted to support patients with ongoing fatigue symptoms following confirmed viral exposure. However, a recent systematic review with broader inclusion criteria, which included both pharmacological and...

While short-term effects of artificial light on human sleep are increasingly being studied, reports on long-term effects induced by season are scarce. Assessments of subjective sleep length over the year suggest a substantially longer sleep period during winter. Our retrospective study aimed to...

Abstract Background Fibromyalgia (FM) is a long-term condition of unknown physiopathology, whose hallmark symptoms are diffuse musculoskeletal chronic pain and fatigue. Objectives We aimed to analyze the associations among serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and calcitonin...

Abstract Microglia play a vital role maintaining brain homeostasis but can also cause persistent neuroinflammation. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by the intestinal microbiota have been suggested to regulate microglia inflammation indirectly by signaling through the gut-brain axis or...

Abstract While fatigue is found to be an impairing symptom in functional motor disorders (FMD) in clinical practice, scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated fatigue severity and subtypes in FMD compared to organic neurological disease. Furthermore, the role of fatigue within FMD and its...
