Chronic fatigue syndrome




Chronic fatigue syndrome occurs due to gene mutations. To such conclusion the four independent teams of experts from the us Centers for control and prevention of diseases (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) According to the results of a survey of 56,000 people, researchers selected 227 volunteers with chronic fatigue syndrome. Study participants 2 days spent in the hospital, where he was subjected to thorough examination. With the help of special tests, researchers evaluated the physical and mental health of patients, cognitive function (memory and concentration), sleep, and carried out various blood tests. In addition, patients determined the activity of 20,000 genes. The results of the survey of volunteers was assessed by four independent teams of experts, each of which included physicians, mathematicians, molecular biologists and experts of computer. The conclusions of scientists, were surprisingly similar. It was found that in 75% of patients had a specific genetic changes that affect the ability of the Central nervous system (CNS) to adapt to stress. "Actually, this is the first credible evidence that chronic fatigue syndrome is based on real reasons," — said the Director of the Centers for control and prevention of diseases Gerberding Julie (Julie Gerberding). According to study author William Reeves (William Reeves), a decrease in the activity of some genes may lead to the deterioration of the human body's ability to resist stress, including aging and diseases. Chronic fatigue syndrome, which began to talk in the 80s of our century, is one of the least studied diseases. Many experts doubted that the disease really exists and is not a manifestation of depression or fantasy of hysterical women. Chronic fatigue syndrome can include symptoms such as constant feeling of extreme fatigue, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, poor memory and concentration, drowsiness and depression that last for months and sometimes years. Most often this disease affects women aged 20 to 50 years.Previously, it was suggested that the cause of the disease the virus can be, in particular, Epstein-Barr; in addition, it was assumed that the basis of the disease are disorders of the immune system, however, both these theories have recently been disproved. Chronic fatigue syndrome is a fairly common disease. Only in USA they suffer more than a million people, said Reeves.
