Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex disorder characterized by intense fatigue that lasts for at least 6 months. The cause is unknown, though virus infection, stress, and toxins may play a role. While there is no diagnostic test, CFS can be diagnosed after ruling out other potential illnesses if a patient experiences fatigue plus symptoms like memory problems, muscle pain, headaches, and malaise following exertion. While CFS has no cure, treatment may involve counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise therapy, medications, and alternative therapies to help manage symptoms.

Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not properly use or produce enough insulin to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It is the most common form of diabetes and risks include being over age 45, overweight, having a family history of diabetes, or lack of exercise. Over time, high blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels. Symptoms may include excessive thirst, fatigue, blurred vision, or frequent urination. Treatment involves healthy eating, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and possibly insulin medication.
12 causes of fatigue
Not getting enough sleep, sleep apnea, and not eating enough or eating the wrong foods are common causes of fatigue. Sleep apnea involves brief interruptions in breathing during sleep that reduce sleep quality. Eating breakfast with protein and complex carbs provides sustained energy. Other potential causes of fatigue include anemia, depression, hypothyroidism, caffeine overload, urinary tract infections, diabetes, heart disease, food allergies, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Exercise can help fight mild fatigue not caused by an underlying condition.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences. It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that cause the brain to develop abnormally. Symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and problems with behavior and emotions. While there is no cure, treatment with medication and therapy can help manage symptoms.
Neurobiology final project
This document discusses systemic sclerosis (SS), also known as scleroderma, which is an autoimmune disease that causes thickening and tightening of the skin. It interviews a woman who has lived with SS for 5 years. She describes initial symptoms of changing skin color and peeling, fatigue, and difficulty with treatment. SS can impact multiple organ systems and cause neurological issues like muscle weakness, tremors, and emotional changes. While the cause is unknown, it involves immune system problems, collagen overproduction, and likely genetic factors. The interviewee lives with constant fatigue and future progression of the disease.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease caused by high blood sugar levels due to the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the body developing insulin resistance. There are two main types - type 1 results from no insulin production while type 2 is from insulin resistance. Diabetes affects many body systems like the immune, cardiovascular, nervous, and muscular systems and increases risks of infections, heart disease, neuropathy, and injuries. Prevention methods include eating breakfast, losing weight if obese, daily physical activity, and limiting soda and fast food. Treatment depends on the type, with type 1 requiring lifelong insulin injections and type 2 often managed through insulin pumps.
Diabetes
This presentation provides an overview of bioinformatics and diabetes. It introduces the course details and group members. The presentation will cover what diabetes is, whether it is genetic, the types of diabetes (type 1, type 2, gestational, pre-diabetes), symptoms of each type, causes of each type, how to prevent and control diabetes, how diabetes affects the body, and whether diabetes can be cured. It provides details on each of these topics.
Diabetes Breakthrough
The document discusses how type 2 diabetes can be reversed through lifestyle changes by targeting the root cause of inflammation, rather than just treating symptoms with drugs. It claims that countless studies show diabetics can normalize blood sugar and insulin sensitivity by addressing inflammation through diet and lifestyle interventions. The document promotes a guide called "The 7 Steps to Health and the Big Diabetes Lie" that has helped tens of thousands of diabetics reverse their condition without medications. It argues that conventional diabetes treatment with drugs does not cure diabetes and only manages symptoms, putting patients at risk of serious health complications.

Living With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Jennifer Kraft was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) after experiencing years of fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms. She struggled to get an accurate diagnosis as many doctors dismissed her symptoms. After resigning from her job, she moved back home to recover. While CFS has impacted her life significantly, she now works part-time and focuses on self-care. There is no known cause or cure for CFS, so treatment varies between patients.

Heart rate monitoring and NICE guideline for ME
This document discusses issues with the UK NICE guidelines for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) regarding graded exercise therapy (GET). It notes that an ME Association survey found 74% of patients reported worsening symptoms from GET. The guidelines recommend exercising at 50-70% of maximum heart rate, but doing daily activities often exceeds this for ME patients. Using a heart rate monitor, the author found that activities like showering, writing emails, or making a drink increased their heart rate beyond the recommended zone. While NICE suggests heart rate monitoring, many doctors do not advise patients to use monitors. Properly adhering to heart rate limits with monitoring shows the significant differences between what exercise means for healthy and ME patients.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disabling illness characterized by persistent physical and mental fatigue. It can begin as early as age 5 and affects people of all backgrounds. Patients experience a substantial reduction in activity levels compared to before diagnosis. CFS is diagnosed based on severe fatigue and other symptoms lasting at least 6 months after other potential causes are ruled out. While the cause is unknown, potential contributing factors include infectious agents, immune system issues, neurological abnormalities, and psychiatric comorbidities. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, gradually increasing physical and mental activity levels, cognitive behavioral therapy, and getting high quality sleep.
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is defined by persistent fatigue lasting at least 6 months accompanied by other specific symptoms. It is not caused by ongoing exertion and is not relieved by rest. CFS has no known cause but may be related to a previous infection. It commonly affects women in their 40s and 50s and is associated with overweight, inactivity, and stress. Diagnosis requires unexplained fatigue plus at least four of eight additional symptoms like memory issues, sore throat, and muscle or joint pain. Treatment focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy, graded exercise, activity management, and sometimes antidepressants or sleeping pills.

The document discusses a case study of a 27-year old patient named Sophie who experienced numerous unexplained medical symptoms over several years. Despite seeing many specialists, she received diagnoses of functional neurological disorder, migraine, anxiety and Raynaud's disease. Frustrated by a lack of answers, Sophie researched her symptoms extensively online. This led her to suspect she may have Hughes syndrome (antiphospholipid syndrome). Upon sharing her research and photos with a professor, she received an official diagnosis of sero-negative antiphospholipid syndrome, and found relief with new treatment. The document concludes patients should not be dismissed as hypochondriacs, doctors should consider evidence patients provide, and rar

Treatments are discussed for PID, PMS, and BPH.
Multiple sclerosis (bio3800)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system where the myelin sheaths that surround nerve fibers are damaged, causing communication problems between the brain and body. It is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the myelin for unknown reasons. Symptoms vary between patients but can include vision problems, weakness, fatigue, and cognitive issues. MS is diagnosed through neurological exams, MRI imaging showing lesions on the myelin, and ruling out other potential causes. While there is no cure, treatments aim to reduce symptoms and attacks through medications, therapy, and lifestyle changes.
Lymes Disease
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted through the bite of infected blacklegged or deer ticks. In the early stages, it may cause a characteristic bullseye rash and flu-like symptoms. Later symptoms can include joint and muscle pain, heart palpitations, facial paralysis, headaches, and memory problems. Diagnosis is made through blood tests and clinical evaluation. Treatment involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Physical therapy can help manage pain and improve range of motion in the acute, subacute, and chronic stages of the disease.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Has No Known Cause
The ESR Stat Plus is a blood-testing device that determines the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of blood samples. Requiring only a small 25-microliter sample, the ESR Stat Plus is used by physicians and laboratories to determine the presence of inflammation in a patient, as well as to exclude other causes of diseases and disorders such chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Lungs (amy t, alexis s, sam m)
This document summarizes information about lung transplantation. It discusses that lungs are located in the chest and function to oxygenate blood and remove carbon dioxide. Over 1,200 lung transplants are performed annually in the US, with a 5-year survival rate of 72-83%. However, over 111,000 people are waiting for lungs and over 6,500 people die each year waiting. Lung transplants are considered for those with end-stage lung disease who have less than 2 years to live. The procedure takes 4-8 hours in specialized hospitals and has a high cost, but can extend life for transplant recipients who must follow medical therapies and lifestyle restrictions long-term.
Heart 1
The heart is located in the center-left portion of the chest and pumps oxygen-rich blood to all cells in the body. The United States performs over 2,000 heart transplants annually, with survival rates of 81% after 1 year and around 68% after 5 years. Heart transplants may be required for severe heart failure or defects that cannot be treated otherwise. Recipients must meet health criteria and take anti-rejection drugs lifelong, while living with cardiac monitoring and dietary restrictions after transplant.
Cornea(1)
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that transmits and focuses light. About 40,000 cornea transplants are performed in the US each year, with a 90% success rate. Candidates are screened for infections or health risks and may be disqualified for certain conditions. The transplant procedure takes 1-2 hours and costs around $7,500. Post-surgery therapy includes eye drops, pills, and activity restrictions for healing.
Asthma project
Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the airways that affects millions of adults and children in the U.S. It is caused by triggers like dust, pollen, pet hair, or tobacco smoke that bring about symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. While asthma cannot be passed between individuals, chronic coughing may impact transmission of other illnesses. The disease affects the bronchial tubes leading to the lungs and symptoms are often worse in the morning or evening in response to cold air. Preventative inhalers can help control symptoms and attacks to manage the disease, which is lifelong once developed, though its effects can be minimized with proper treatment.

Rabies is caused by a virus transmitted through the saliva or nervous system tissue of an infected animal. It causes flu-like symptoms that can develop into cerebral dysfunctions, anxiety, and delirium. Over 50,000 people in Asia and Africa die from rabies each year. While rabies can be either acute or chronic depending on treatment, prevention focuses on vaccinating pets, removing strays, and avoiding contact with wild animals.
Narc
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects sleep control, making it difficult to stay awake during the day. Its causes are unknown but believed to be genetic and related to low levels of the brain chemical hypocretin. Symptoms include extreme daytime sleepiness with focus problems, loss of muscle tone during wakefulness, and vivid dreams or hallucinations when waking or falling asleep, typically affecting people ages 15-25 or those who don't sleep well at night.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder caused when both parents carry the sickle cell trait and pass it to their child. The red blood cells take on a sickle shape, which prevents them from properly carrying oxygen throughout the body. Symptoms may appear after four months of age and include attacks of pain, breathing issues, fatigue and more. While there is no cure, new treatments are helping those with sickle cell anemia live longer, into their 50s rather than the previous average of 20-40 years of age. Prevention includes vaccinations, genetic counseling before having children, and living a normal life with proper precautions.

HIV and AIDS can be transmitted sexually or through blood and from pregnant women to their babies. While anyone can contract HIV, those most at risk are drug users and the sexually active. Since 1977, HIV/AIDS has been a major problem in Africa due to a lack of money for medicine and treatment.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder caused by a defect in the collagen gene that results in brittle bones that break easily from minor stress or trauma. There are four main types of OI that vary in severity from very mild to lethal in infancy. While there is no cure for OI, treatments focus on increasing bone strength through bisphosphonates and low-impact exercise, as well as surgery to repair broken bones. People with OI must manage their condition for life through precautions to avoid further fractures.
Amanda mcgurk lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease with no known cause that predominantly affects women aged 15-44, especially those of African American, Asian, Native American, or Pacific Islander descent. Common symptoms include arthritis, joint pain, fever, fatigue, skin rash, and sensitivity to sunlight. While the signs and symptoms vary per individual, lupus produces antibodies that attack the body's own tissues and can affect the lungs, blood, brain, kidney, heart, and joints. There is no cure for lupus currently, but treatment involves medications like steroids, immunosuppressants, and anti-inflammatories to reduce symptoms, though it can sometimes be fatal depending on the severity of the case.
Yellow fever slide
Yellow fever is caused by a virus transmitted through the bites of infected female mosquitoes, with an incubation period of 3-6 days. Symptoms include headache, fever and muscle aches initially, and potentially progressing to jaundice, liver failure, and black vomit. While most cases are mild, the disease can be fatal for around 3% of infected individuals in the second more severe phase if left untreated.
Bulimia
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging. It can be caused by genetic and environmental factors like role models and social pressures. While anyone can develop it, girls aged 15-24 are most at risk. Bulimia damages the entire body and can lead to organ failure or death if left untreated. Treatment focuses on breaking the binge-purge cycle through therapy and support to address underlying emotional issues.

Symptoms include headache, fever, and muscle aches initially, which can develop into more severe symptoms like jaundice, liver failure, and black vomit in the second phase for some patients. While most cases resolve on their own, around 3% of infected individuals may die from yellow fever if the disease progresses to liver and kidney failure.

Black death marley(2)
Bubonic plague is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium which is typically transmitted through the bites of infected fleas living on rodents like rats, squirrels, and prairie dogs. Symptoms include fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and other flu-like symptoms appearing 1-6 days after exposure. While not usually chronic, one can be reinfected, so prevention focuses on controlling rodent populations to limit flea-borne transmission of the plague bacterium.
African trypanosomiasis
African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is caused by a parasite called Trypanosoma and transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. It affects people in rural parts of Africa and causes symptoms like swelling at the bite site, severe fatigue, headaches, joint pain, behavioral changes, and disturbed sleep patterns. While it can cause neurological disorders and death if left untreated, it can be prevented by avoiding tsetse fly habitats or wearing protective clothing, and treated with drugs like Pentamidine, Suramin, and combinations of other drugs.
Shingles
Varicella-zoster virus causes both chickenpox and shingles. Shingles occurs when the virus reactivates after dormancy in the nervous system following chickenpox. It is characterized by a painful rash that typically affects a limited area on one side of the body. Treatment aims to reduce pain and complications through antiviral medication started within 24 hours of symptom onset, along with anti-inflammatory drugs and soothing baths. While shingles itself is usually not fatal, high-risk groups could die if exposed without proper medical care.
Anthrax
Anthrax is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. It can infect humans through contact with infected animals or animal products, as well as through inhalation of anthrax spores. There are three main types - cutaneous (skin), inhalation (lungs), and gastrointestinal (digestive system). Symptoms vary depending on type but can include lesions, vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory issues. Anthrax spores can also be used as a biological weapon. Diagnosis involves cultures and antibody tests while treatment requires long courses of antibiotics.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
