AI Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 200 ME/CFS patients assessed the effectiveness of oxygen-ozone autohemotherapy (O-O-AHT) on fatigue reduction, using a scoring questionnaire before and after a month of treatment.
- * Results showed that female patients experienced significantly better improvements in fatigue compared to male patients, especially in the 14-29 age group, indicating a gender difference in treatment response.
Article Abstract
(1) Background: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a syndrome that has fatigue as its major symptom. Evidence suggests that ozone is able to relieve ME/CFS-related fatigue in affected patients. (2) Objective: To evaluate whether differences exist between males and females in ozone therapy outputs in ME/CFS. (3) Methods: In total, 200 patients previously diagnosed with ME/CFS (mean age 33 ± 13 SD years) underwent treatment with oxygen-ozone autohemotherapy (O-O-AHT). Fatigue was investigated via an FSS 7-scoring questionnaire before and following 1 month after treatment. (4) Results: The Mann-Whitney test (MW test) assessed the significance of this difference (H = 13.8041, = 0.0002), and female patients showed better outcomes than males. This difference was particularly striking in the youngest age cohort (14-29 years), and a KW test resulted in H = 7.1609, = 0.007 for the Δ = 28.3% (males = 3.8, females = 5.3). (5) Conclusions: When treated with O-O-AHT, females respond better than males.

Background: Infections caused by the Aspergillus genus are relatively uncommon and typically associated with hospitalization, while only a few cases are linked to environmental exposure to filamentous moulds. These infections can significantly impact pulmonary function, and antifungal therapy may further compromise lung physiology, especially if fungal nodules develop. Consequently, many cases of aspergillosis are not directly treated to avoid additional lung damage.

Objective: In patients with breast cancer and positive hormone receptors, aromatase inhibitors are effective in reducing the risk of recurrences and are active in progressing the disease in this setting. On the other hand, fatigue and painful musculoskeletal side effects can significantly reduce treatment compliance. With no further treatment options to control these symptoms, non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as oxygen-ozone therapy, may play a role in managing rheumatologic symptomatology inasmuch.

Objective: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a concerning chronic disease showing as widespread pain, muscle stiffness, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, and depressed mood, for which no sound therapy is yet available to date. In this article we assessed a wider patients' cohort the efficacy of oxygen-ozone autohemotherapy (O2-O3-AHT) previously reported.
Patients And Methods: A number of 200 FM-patients accessed the study and were treated with 3-4 runs of O2-O3-AHT, following their signed consent.

Objective: Sjögren syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disorder, affecting about 16,000 individuals in Italy, yet lacking a standardized therapy protocol and a plain inclusion in the reimbursed healthcare services. This raises many controversial issues about how managing the SS patient, to relief pain and discomfort and improve patients' health and social life.
