Patient Case History/Summary

▪ In comparison with a normal collective (n21) the glucose absorption is reduced by a moderately diffuse rate. A region in the white substance left front is also accentuated. ▪ The maximum glucose absorption of the cortex is reduced with its almost 20 umol/100 g and lies moderately below the standard range of 30 (+/- 5) umol/min/100 g brain tissue as as determined at the Clinic. ▪ Accentuated by nature are the changes described in the chart, in particular in the cerebellum, the ventral polar segments of the temporal lobe, occipitotemporal and high parietal. ▪ In comparison with the previous examination of 19.07.2004 a drastic improvement of the general metabolism to almost twice the glucose consumption is revealed.▪ The inhomogeneities in particular in the cerebellar and occipitotemporal segment appear to be by far lower than in the previous examination.

Comparison of the prevalence of abnormal LBT in controls and subjects with IBS and fibromyalgia

A link between irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia may be related to findings on lactulose breath testing

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 2004;63:450-452

Conclusions: An abnormal lactulose breath test is more common in fibromyalgia than IBS. In contrast with IBS, the degree of abnormality on breath test is greater in subjects with fibromyalgia and correlates with somatic pain.

Night-time noise from aircraft or traffic can increase a person's blood pressure even if it does not wake them, according to a new study published in the European Heart Journal. Scientists from Imperial College London and other European institutions monitored 140 sleeping volunteers in their homes near London Heathrow and three other major European airports

Aircraft noise events caused an average increase in systolic blood pressure of 6.2 mmHg and an average increase in diastolic blood pressure of 7.4 mmHg. Similar increases in blood pressure were seen also for other noise sources such as road traffic

POMC peptides- The hypothalamic CRH and central noradrenergic neurons mutually innervate and activate each other, although they exert presynaptic autoinhibition through collateral fibers. AVP from the paraventricular nucleus synergizes with CRH on stimulating ACTH secretion. The cholinergic and serotonergic neurotransmitter systems stimulate both components of the central stress system, although the gamma aminobutyric acid / benzo-diazepine (GABA/BZD) and arcuate nucleus proopiomelanocortin (POMC) peptide system inhibit it. The latter is directly activated by the stress system and is important in the enhancement of the analgesia that takes place during stress.

CFS. Candidate genes-neurohormoal axis.2006 BN Goertzel et al. Pharmacogenomics (2006) 7: 475-83

Combinations of SNPs in neuroendocrine effector and receptor genes predict CFS

The top three genes containing SNPs accounting for the highest accumulated importance were Tph2 (neuronal tryptophan hydroxylase), COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase, and NR3C1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 glucocorticoid receptor.

Der mitochondriale Energiestoffwechsel besteht aus Pyruvatoxidation (PDHC), ß-Oxidation der Fettsäuren, Zitratzyklus und vor allem der oxidativen Phosphorylierung. Gebildete Redoxäquivalente (NADH, FADH2) werden in der Atmungskette mit molekularem Sauerstoff (O2) zu Wasser umgesetzt. Dabei freigesetzte Energie wird vom Komplex V zur Synthese des universellen Energieträgers Adenosintriphosphat (ATP) verwendet. So werden in den Mitochondrien über 90% des Energiebedarfs des Körpers bereit gestellt.

Mitochondria are the fountain of energy for the body
