Cognitive assessment in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): a cognitive substudy of the multi-site clinical assessment of ME/CFS (MCAM).
Front Neurosci

Introduction: Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) experience cognitive problems with attention, information processing speed, working memory, learning efficiency, and executive function. Commonly, patients report worsening of cognitive symptoms over time after physical and/or cognitive challenges. To determine, monitor, and manage longitudinal decrements in cognitive function after such exposures, it is important to be able to screen for cognitive dysfunction and changes over time in clinic and also remotely at home.

Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed data from 923 participants, revealing that chronic migraines (48.1%), fibromyalgia (45.0%), and chronic low back pain (33.1%) were the most common COPCs among those with ME/CFS.
- * The presence of COPCs significantly worsens health outcomes for ME/CFS patients, particularly affecting pain-related symptoms, with fibromyalgia showing the highest prevalence ratio and effect size.*
Study on the Design Method of High-Resolution Volume-Phase Holographic Gratings.
Sensors (Basel)
October 2024
Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China.
Article Synopsis
- Volume-phase holographic gratings can enhance greenhouse gas detection in imaging spectrometers by offering high spectral resolution and efficiency, but they face challenges with polarization sensitivity in the infrared range due to diffraction performance issues.
- This study introduces a new design method that integrates Kogelnik coupled-wave theory with rigorous coupled-wave theory to fine-tune the grating parameters, ensuring optimal diffraction efficiency and minimal polarization sensitivity.
- Results indicate that the designed gratings achieve a stripe frequency of 1067 lines per millimeter, with high diffraction efficiencies of 96% for TE waves and 99.89% for TM waves, along with over 88% efficiency for unpolarized light across the spectrum.
Heterogeneity in Measures of Illness among Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Is Not Explained by Clinical Practice: A Study in Seven U.S. Specialty Clinics.
J Clin Med
February 2024
Open Medicine Clinic, Mountain View, CA 94040, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The MCAM study aimed to see if different clinicians recognized myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) as the same clinical condition by analyzing data from 465 patients across seven specialized clinics in the U.S.
- Research found minimal significant differences in ME/CFS symptoms and functionalities among patients from various clinics, indicating a possible inherent illness heterogeneity.
- The study suggests that representing data visually (like scatter plots) could better illustrate this variation, and emphasizes the need for more detailed subgroup analyses in future research to enhance understanding and reproducibility of ME/CFS findings.
A survey on oral health-related standard of care for head and neck cancer patients in the EU.
Oral Dis
May 2024
Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Odontology, University of Malmö, Malmö, Sweden.
Objective: To map oral health-related standard of care in the context of head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment across the European Union (EU).
Materials And Methods: Six hundred and ninety centers across the European Union were contacted. The questionnaire contained questions focusing on the team/department structure, HNC treatment planning routines, and assessment and handling of dental treatment needs prior to cancer treatment.
