    A ‘globally significant’ bank of biosamples from a study into the immune effects of Covid vaccines is set to be destroyed, two years after the award-winning research project was defunded by the Queensland Government.

    Can the national government take it over from the Queensland government? It sounds like a political, not a scientific decision.

    The Role Of Active Rehabilitation In Managing Chronic Fatigue

    Breaking the Boom-Bust Cycle: The Role of Active Rehabilitation in Managing Chronic Fatigue

    Introduction

    Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterised by persistent fatigue that interferes with daily activities and is not alleviated by rest (Fukuda et al., 1994). This condition goes beyond just feeling tired and encompasses a wide variety of debilitating symptoms. The causes of CFS are not yet fully understood but for some people it can follow infection, toxic exposure, anaesthetic, immunisation, or trauma such as car accident.

    Patients often experience a “boom-bust” cycle—periods of increased activity followed by exacerbation of symptoms, leading to a cycle of overexertion and subsequent fatigue. This article discusses how active rehabilitation can help mitigate this cycle, improve overall exercise capacity, and enhance quality of life for individuals with chronic fatigue.
