DecodeME's Dr Veronique Vitart, Dr Shona Kerr and Professor Chris Ponting are among a group of researchers who have just published a study in the top science journal Nature on the role that genetics plays in severe Covid-19.

Using the same technique that will power DecodeME, they found that people with particular DNA differences were more likely to end up in intensive care with Covid-19. The…

Dunedin researchers have smashed the myth that chronic fatigue syndrome is only in the head.

However, two four-year studies by the University of Otago’s Emeritus Professor Warren Tate,…

CellTrend bietet ein Test-Panel für POTS-Patienten an. Neben den bei der CFS-Diagnostik aufgeführten Tests umfasst dieses Panel auch die Testung von anti-muskarinergen Acetylcholin Rezeptor 1 (M1)-Antikörpern, anti-muskarinergen Acetylcholin Rezeptor 2 (M2)-Antikörpern, anti-muskarinergen Acetylcholin Rezeptor 5 (M5)-Antikörpern, sowie die Testung von Alpha-1 adrenergen Rezeptor Auto-Antikörpern…

Menschen mit milden kognitiven Einschränkungen oder einer Demenz hatten in einer Querschnittstudie eine höhere Amyloidlast in der Positronen-Emissions-Tomographie (PET), wenn sie in Gegenden mit einer höheren Luftverschmutzung lebten. Die in JAMA Neurology (2020; DOI: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2020.3962) veröffentlichten Ergebnisse stützen eine Reihe von experimentellen Befunden und epidemiologischen…

University of Otago researchers have “unequivocally proved” – contrary to the long-held belief of some health practitioners – that Myalgic Encephalamyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not psychosomatic.

For decades sufferers of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), were labelled as “depressed” or “told that the symptoms were in their head”. But two…
