The existing guidelines and expert consensus on Traditional Chinese Medicine (#TCM) nursing technology for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are few and not prominent. The relevant systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials lack scientific quality evaluation resulting in a lack of systematic and standardized evidence-based evidence of TCM nursing technology in clinical practice. Therefore, this study… Continue reading Best Evidence Summary of Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing Technology for Patients With Chronic #Fatigue Syndrome

Development and validation of blood-based diagnostic biomarkers for #Myalgic #Encephalomyelitis/#Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) using EpiSwitch® 3-dimensional genomic regulatory immuno-genetic profiling
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating, multifactorial disorder characterised by profound fatigue, post-exertional malaise, cognitive impairments, and autonomic dysfunction. Despite its significant impact on quality of life, ME/CFS lacks definitive diagnostic biomarkers, complicating diagnosis and management. Recent evidence highlights potential blood tests for ME/CFS biomarkers in immunological, genetic, metabolic, and bioenergetic domains. Chromosome… Continue reading Development and validation of blood-based diagnostic biomarkers for #Myalgic #Encephalomyelitis/#Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) using EpiSwitch® 3-dimensional genomic regulatory immuno-genetic profiling
Perceived Physical Fatigability Predicts All-Cause Mortality in Older Adults
BackgroundPerceived physical fatigability is highly prevalent in older adults and associated with mobility decline and other health consequences. We examined the prognostic value of perceived physical fatigability as an independent predictor of risk of death among older adults. MethodsParticipants (N = 2 906), mean age 73.5 [SD, 10.4] years, 54.2% women, 99.7% white enrolled in… Continue reading Perceived Physical Fatigability Predicts All-Cause Mortality in Older Adults
6-month consequences of #COVID-19 in patients discharged from hospital: a cohort study
The long-term health consequences of COVID-19 remain largely unclear. The aim of this study was to describe the long-term health consequences of patients with COVID-19 who have been discharged from hospital and investigate the associated risk factors, in particular disease severity.. ..In total, 1733 of 2469 discharged patients with COVID-19 were enrolled after 736 were… Continue reading 6-month consequences of #COVID-19 in patients discharged from hospital: a cohort study
Mediterranean-style dietary pattern improves cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in men with prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy: A pilot randomised control trial
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a prevalent and persistent symptom from androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer. The Mediterranean-style dietary pattern (MED-diet) offers a plausible mechanism to mitigate CRF through reducing inflammation and improving body composition. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 12-week MED-diet, compared to usual care, on CRF and quality… Continue reading Mediterranean-style dietary pattern improves cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in men with prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy: A pilot randomised control trial
L-Thyroxine Therapy for Older Adults With Subclinical #Hypothyroidism and Hypothyroid Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Trial
..132 participants had Hypothyroid Symptoms scores greater than 30, and 133 had Tiredness scores greater than 40. Among the group with high symptom burden, the Hypothyroid Symptoms score improved similarly between those receiving L-thyroxine (mean within-group change, −12.3 [95% CI, −16.6 to −8.0]) and those receiving placebo (mean within-group change, −10.4 [CI, −15.3 to −5.4])… Continue reading L-Thyroxine Therapy for Older Adults With Subclinical #Hypothyroidism and Hypothyroid Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Trial
Effect of different #nap opportunity durations on short-term maximal performance, attention, feelings, muscle soreness, fatigue, #stress and sleep.
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of different nap opportunity durations on short-term maximal performance, attention, feelings, muscle soreness, fatigue, stress and sleep. Twenty physically active men (age: 21.1 ± 3.6 years, height: 176.4 ± 5.7 cm, body-mass: 72 ± 10.8 kg) performed the 5-jump and the digit-cancellation (i.e., attention) tests after four randomized nap opportunity conditions: no-nap opportunity… Continue reading Effect of different #nap opportunity durations on short-term maximal performance, attention, feelings, muscle soreness, fatigue, #stress and sleep.
Neuro-computational Impact of Physical #Training Overload on Economic #Decision-Making
Highlights • Training overload in endurance sport induces cognitive control fatigue • Training-induced fatigue is associated with reduced prefrontal cortex activity • Training-induced fatigue is associated with enhanced choice impulsivity • Excessive physical training and intellectual work induce similar cognitive fatigue At the neural level, training overload resulted in diminished activation of the lateral prefrontal… Continue reading Neuro-computational Impact of Physical #Training Overload on Economic #Decision-Making
