Although many studies have investigated the overlap between pain phenotypes and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in adults, little is known about the relationship between these conditions in adolescents. The study's aim was therefore to identify whether a relationship exists between chronic widespread pain (CWP) and CFS in adolescents and investigate whether the two share common associations with...

background and objective: febrile convulsions (fc) are the most common seizure disorder in children. lumbar puncture should be considered in any case with fc who is suspected to intracranial infections. this study determined white blood cell and polymorphonuclear cell counts, and protein and glucose levels in cere-brospinal fluids (cfs) of children hospitalized with fc. methods: in this cross s...

PROBLEM/CONDITION Although chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been recognized as a cause of morbidity in the United States, the etiology of CFS is unknown. In addition, information is incomplete concerning the clinical spectrum and prevalence of CFS in the United States. REPORTING PERIOD COVERED This report summarizes CFS surveillance data collected in four U.S. cities from September 1989 thr...

BACKGROUND Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating illness with particular difficulties for healthcare providers because there are no diagnostic signs or laboratory tests and because management aims to merely improve symptoms. Further complicating management, healthcare providers' awareness concerning CFS has not been rigorously assessed. The present study aimed to ascertain United Sta...

Abstract Introduction Glioma is a rare type of tumor, and the research on fatigue QOL in glioma patients limited. Research from other countries has reported with intense preoperative stage, but no similar studies could be found Japan. In present study, we report retrospective investigation assessment performed during rehabilitation evaluation. Participants Methods were 90 admitted to hospital f...

We studied how physiological properties of cerebellar climbing fiber (CF) to Purkinje cell (PC) synapses change during developmental transition from multiple to mono CF innervation onto each PC. From P3 to P6, differences in the strengths of multiple CFs became larger. Around P10, each PC was either monoinnervated by one strong CF (CF-mono) or multiply innervated by one strong CF (CF-multi-S) p...

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an illness characterized by persistent and relapsing fatigue, often accompanied by numerous symptoms involving various body systems. The etiology of CFS remains unclear; however, a number of recent studies have shown oxidative stress may be involved in its pathogenesis. The role of oxidative stress in CFS is an important area for current and future research as ...

BACKGROUND Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by severe and prolonged fatigue, along with a set of nonspecific symptoms and signs, such as sore throat, muscle pain, headaches, and difficulties with concentration or memory. OBJECTIVE The study examined whether CFS is associated with specific dimensions of Cloninger's psychobiological model of personality. METHOD Personality prof...

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a persistent and unexplained pathological state characterized by exertional and severely debilitating fatigue, with/without infectious or neuropsychiatric symptoms, lasting at least 6 consecutive months. Its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Here, we performed comprehensive metabolomic analyses of 133 plasma samples obtained from CFS patients and he...
