Full title: The mapping of cortical activation by near-infrared spectroscopy might be a biomarker related to the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms
Abstract
The delta value of oxyhemoglobin (Δ-HbO) determined by functional near-infrared spectroscopy at prefrontal cortex (PFC) and motor cortex...

See table 1 for protein vs HCs. Brought up as I read a post by @Andy about a possible study on salivary peptide fatigue testing in me/cfs. Could this be useful to find a biomarker in me/cfs?
Abstract
Neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, are collectively a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Whilst the underlying disease mechanisms remain elusive, altered mitochondrial function has been clearly implicated and is a key area of study in these...
Abstract
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a persistent and unexplained pathological state characterized by exertional and severely debilitating fatigue, with/without infectious or neuropsychiatric symptoms, and with a minimum duration of 6 consecutive months. Its...
Highlights
• ME/CFS is characterized by skewed B cell receptor gene usage.
• Upregulation of specific IGHV genes correlated to infection-related episodes at onset.
• Plasmablasts of ME/CFS patients upregulated interferon response genes.
• B cell receptor repertoire analysis can provide a useful...

"Monitoring the effects of daily activities on the physiological responses of the body calls for wearable devices that can simultaneously track metabolic and haemodynamic parameters. Here we describe a non-invasive skin-worn device for the simultaneous monitoring of blood pressure...
I have a feeling that OMF might be closing in on a biomarker. But if there is a biomarker and it reflects something downstream, is it possible that the biomarker might not be useful in identifying treatments? Are there examples of other diseases where a biomarker was found, but it was not...

MONTREAL - A new test developed by Montreal researchers is expected to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), a condition better known as chronic fatigue syndrome.
L'EM is currently diagnosed primarily by...
Researchers at McMaster and Brock universities in Canada have developed a hand-held device that can provide rapid measurements of cancer biomarkers in blood samples.
