Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and Gulf War Syndrome are diseases of unknown etiology which are accompanied by severe fatigue as a main complaint. Yet there may be some kind of “post-infectious fatigue syndrome” following any infection by a virus. Post-infectious fatigue, which is caused by many different viruses, includes chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and it is thought that...

Fatigue is one of the most pervasive yet under-investigated causes of human-error-related driving accidents, incidents, and injuries. Several studies suggest that 25-30% of driving accidents are fatigue related (Horne et al., 1995). However, government reports estimate that only 1-4% of crashes may be attributable to the driver falling asleep or being drowsy, based largely on data derived from ...

Driver fatigue is one of the leading causes of traffic accidents. Therefore, the use of assistive systems that monitor a driver’s level of vigilance and alert the driver in case of drowsiness and distraction can be significant in the prevention of accidents. This paper presents morphology based operations in extracting various visual cues like eye, eye brows, mouth and head movement. The parame...

Research into correlates and determinants (causal relationship) of fatigue has burgeoned in the past two decades. However the link between cortical activity andmuscle force generation on fatigue that develops during exercise is not very well understood. While there is extensive evidence suggesting that the central nervous system can contribute to the inability of a human being to sustain a moto...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a recognised human illness [17] in which patients experience severe, debilitating fatigue for more than 6 months [39] , complicated by the fact that its diagnosis is largely based on subjective complaints in the absence of reproducibly reliable tests [3]. Symptoms include myalgias, arthralgias, sore throat, headache, adenopathy, poor functional status and neuro...

Our previous study reported that a dried bonito broth known in Japan as 'dashi' improved or ameliorated mood states, including fatigue, during the daily lives of human subjects. Histidine is an amino acid that is present in dried bonito broth, and we sought to evaluate whether histidine would affect feelings of fatigue in humans. We investigated the effects of histidine intake on the feeling of...
