Abstract Background Animal and human studies suggest that stress experienced early in life has detrimental consequences on brain development, including regions involved cognitive function. Cognitive changes are cardinal features of depression posttraumatic disorder. Early-life trauma is a major risk factor for these disorders. Only few have measured the long-term childhood function healthy adults. Methods In this pilot study, we investigated relationship between exposure 47 adults, who were...
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, multisystem illness characterized by activity-limiting fatigue, worsening of symptoms after activity, and other (1). It affects all age, sex, racial ethnic groups costs the U.S. economy about $18-$51 billion annually (2-5). This report describes percentage adults who had ME/CFS at time interview selected demographic geographic characteristics based on data from 2021-2022 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating chronic illness affecting at least 4 million people in the United States. Understanding its cost improves decisions regarding resource allocation that may be directed towards treatment and cure, guides evaluation of clinical community interventions designed to reduce burden disease.This research estimated direct indirect costs CFS impact on educational attainment using population-based, case-control study between September 2004 July 2005,...
Importance Long-term sequelae after symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection may impact well-being, yet existing data primarily focus on discrete symptoms and/or health care use. Objective To compare patient-reported outcomes of physical, mental, and social well-being among adults with illness who received a positive vs negative test result for infection. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study was planned interim analysis an ongoing multicenter prospective longitudinal registry (the...
Objective: To compare the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in persons with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) identified from general population and a chronically ill group people presenting subsyndromic CFS-like illness ("insufficient symptoms or fatigue" (ISF)). Previous studies CFS patients primary tertiary care clinics have found high rates disturbance, but this may reflect referral bias rather than true patterns comorbidity CFS. Methods: We used random digit dialing to identify unwell...
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) can be triggered by infectious agents including severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, the impact of disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on ME/CFS prevalence is not well characterized.
Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious, debilitating illness affecting millions of people worldwide. Patients with ME/CFS often feel misunderstood and report facing barriers to healthcare utilization.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic, complex illness. No diagnostic tests exist; illness evaluation relies on medical history, physical exam, and laboratory tests. While more known about ME/CFS in adults, it can affect children adolescents as chronic condition. We implemented an pediatric educational activity (diagnosis, management, communication) with medical, physician assistant, nursing students at one university second university. Pretests, two videos...
Orthostatic intolerance-OI is common in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome-ME/CFS. We used a 10-min passive vertical lean test as orthostatic challenge-OC and measured changes vitals end tidal CO
In the Multi-Site Clinical Assessment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (MCAM), we relied on expert clinician diagnoses to enroll patients from 7 specialty clinics in United States order perform a systematic collection data measures myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)/chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Healthy persons and those with other illnesses that share some features ME/CFS were enrolled comparison groups. The major objectives to: 1) use standardized questionnaires measure...
Importance Chronic symptoms reported following an infection with SARS-CoV-2, such as cognitive problems, overlap included in the definition of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Objective To evaluate prevalence ME/CFS-like illness subsequent to acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, changes ME/CFS through 12 months follow-up, and association test results at infection–like index illness. Design, Setting, Participants This prospective, multisite, longitudinal cohort study...
Chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs), pain-related that frequently occur together, may in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and could impact illness severity. This study aimed to identify comorbid COPCs ME/CFS evaluate their on
The diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in research studies requires the exclusion subjects with medical and psychiatric conditions that could confound analysis interpretation results. This study compares illness parameters between individuals CFS who have those do not exclusionary conditions.We used a population-based telephone survey randomly selected individuals, followed by clinical evaluation metropolitan, urban, rural counties Georgia, USA. histories were examined they...
Background: The Internet is increasingly utilized by researchers, health care providers, and the public to seek medical information. also provides a powerful tool for messaging. Understanding needs of intended audience how they use websites critical website developers provide better services users.

Abstract Background Recovery from SARS CoV-2 infection is expected within 3 months. Long COVID occurs after SARS-CoV-2 when symptoms are present for more than months that continuous, relapsing and remitting, or progressive. Better understanding of illness trajectories could strengthen patient care support. Methods We characterized functional impairments, quality life (QoL), cognition among patients who recovered (without COVID), (Recovered remained symptomatic (Long COVID). Among 7305...
Mental illness represents an important public health problem. Local-level data concerning mental in different populations (e.g., socio-demographics and residence--metropolitan/urban/rural) provides the evidence-base for authorities to plan, implement evaluate control programs. This paper describes prevalence covariates of psychiatric conditions Georgia three defined geographic areas.Data came from population-based random-digit-dialing study investigating unwellness chronic fatigue syndrome...
