Peterson’s atypical subset opens new view of ME/CFS
Simmaron research blog post, by Cort Johnson, 5 April 2017: Peterson’s Atypical Subset Opens New View of ME/CFS in Columbia/Simmaron Publication “We now have biological evidence that the triggers for ME/CFS may involve distinct pathways to disease, or, in some … Continue reading
Neurobiological & spinal fluid abnormalities in CFS are not influenced by psychiatric status
Research highlights: Patients have higher brain ventricular lactate, more abnormal spinal fluids, lower brain GSH, and reduced cerebral blood flow than controls Psychiatric comorbidity does not influence any of these potential biological markers of CFS 50% of the patients had … Continue reading
Immune activation in the central nervous system of ME/CFS found by cytokine network analysis of cerebrospinal fluid
Research abstract: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome is an unexplained debilitating disorder that is frequently associated with cognitive and motor dysfunction. We analyzed cerebrospinal fluid from 32 cases, 40 subjects with multiple sclerosis and 19 normal subjects frequency-matched for age and … Continue reading
Central nervous system clues found for cognitive dysfunction in CFS
Research abstract: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome is an unexplained debilitating disorder that is frequently associated with cognitive and motor dysfunction. We analyzed cerebrospinal fluid from 32 cases, 40 subjects with multiple sclerosis and 19 normal subjects frequency-matched for age and … Continue reading
Reduced cytokine levels may lead to neurological problems in CFS/ME
Research abstract Objectives: Previous research has provided evidence for dysregulation in peripheral cytokines in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). To date only one study has examined cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of CFS/ME patients. The purpose of … Continue reading
