Clinical Management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A guide for practitioners, scientists, and patients, Clinical Management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome provides an insightful overview of current clinical management of CFS and guidelines for dealing with the disease and its compounding issues. It also provides, especially for patients, an objective framework in which they can approach the confusing psychological and physical ramifications of the disease so that they may sort through possibly misleading information on current treatments. CFS has been the focus of an increasing number of research investigators seeking to unravel the enigmatic interrelationship of immunologic, neurologic, endocrinologic, and psychologic abnormalities associated ...
Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Clinical, Legal, and Patient Perspectives explores methods to assess severity of illness and impairment in persons suffering with CFS. It shows that more work needs to be done to develop objective measures of impairment that accurately reflect the patient's degree of disability. Contributors explore possible answers to the questions: How can a clinician quantify the degree of impairment? How can the legal and judicial systems weigh the facts and the impact of this illness on each person with CFS? How does a patient persevere and get past the barriers, despite his/her illness?

Chronic Fatigue and Related Immune Deficiency Syndromes
The latest research in neurobiology and in biological psychiatry has led to the discovery of many interactions between mood states and alterations in brain neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, and brain imaging. Chronic Fatigue and Related Immune Deficiency Syndromes presents a state-of-the-art synthesis of research into disorders of chronic fatigue. It examines the relationship of chronic fatigue and related immune deficiency syndromes to major biological depression and reviews how they are alike and how they differ in etiology, psychopathology, neuroendocrinology, neurochemistry, and treatment. The chapters on treatment review all the varying approaches currently being used (along with the theories on which they are based) to set the scene for future developments in antivirals and antidepressants. This comprehensive yet concise text presents what is known on chronic fatigue syndrome from the vantage point of experts in the fields of immunology, virology, and neuroendocrinology.
The Long Haul
How survivors of the Covid-19 pandemic battling long-term disabling conditions are fighting for recognition and research—and helping to transform healthcare for many overlooked diseases. To the world’s public health authorities, Covid-19 would be either a deadly disease for some or a simple respiratory illness for most, its symptoms clearing up in just a matter of weeks. But then tens of millions around the world got sick and stayed sick. With scientists and doctors caught off guard, these Long Covid patients often found solace only with one another, organizing support groups across oceans and continents while ill in bed. In The Long Haul, CNN journalist Ryan Prior weaves his own life, t...
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Advances in Epidemiologic, Clinical, and Basic Science Research highlights the presentations and issues discussed at the Fourth Annual International Conference of the American Association of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). You will explore the strengths and weaknesses of current case definitions of CFS and how these can be improved. Also, you will examine how to distinguish CFS from similiar ailments such as fibromyalgia and multiple chemical sensitivity. This book puts different therapeutic modalities to the test, and addresses the neurological and psychiatric manifestations associated with CFS.
Encounters with the Invisible
While news stories tout the successes of molecular science, gene mapping, and high-tech interventions to treat disease, there’s another, untold story within today’s medical landscape. It is the story of the growing number of chronic, controversial illnesses--chronic fatigue syndrome, Gulf War syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity--poorly served by today’s biomedical, pathogen-oriented approach to disease. With a lyric, incisive voice, Dorothy Wall blends the personal story of her struggles with CFS with a graphic sketch of the CFS terrain: the woeful federal response, patient advocacy politics, medical debates, environmental questions. Eighteen chapters explore a spectr...
Interdisciplinary Research : Case Studies from Health and Social Science
Interdisciplinary research now receives a great deal of attention because of the rich, creative contributions it often generates. But a host of factors--institutional, interpersonal and intellectual--also make a daunting challenge of conducting research outside one's usual domain. This newly updated and revised edition of Interdisciplinary Research is a substantive and practical guide to the most effective avenues for collaborative and integrative research in the social, behavioral, and bio-medical sciences. It provides answers to questions such as what is the best way to conduct interdisciplinary research on topics related to human health, behavior, and development? Which are the most succe...
