“…In fact CFS/ME was found to be more intrusive than other chronic illnesses such as IBS, laryngeal cancer and ESRD, even though cancer and ESRD are considered more serious illnesses due to their life-threatening nature, confirming findings by Schweitzer et al (1995). Similarly, Buchwald, Pearlman, Umali, Schmailing and Katon (1996) found that in comparison to chronically ill medical populations, individuals with CFS/ME are ''strikingly disabled'' (p. 369). Our study shows that CFS/ME intrudes into more life domains, and to a greater degree, than the other illnesses with which it is compared.…”

“…For many people work/career defines who they are and therefore having to give up one's job can lead to a loss of identity and self-worth. In their study of functional status in patients with CFS/ME, Buchwald et al (1996) found that on average CFS/ME patients scored low on social functioning, an area which, for other seriously ill medical patients, seems relatively preserved. Individuals with CFS/ME often find it extremely difficult to keep up with social activities due to their fatigue and this can lead to social isolation and the loss of roles which were previously valued (Schweitzer et al, 1995).…”

Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is an illness in which physiological and psychological factors are believed to interact to cause and maintain CFS/ME in an individual predisposed to it. The various symptoms and impairments associated with CFS/ME have a large impact on quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to identify the extent to which the core symptoms and impairments associated with CFS/ME relate to depression in women with CFS/ME, and to discover whether these relationships were mediated by illness intrusiveness. CFS/ME was found to be a highly intrusive illness, intruding into more life domains and to a greater degree than other illnesses. The effects of both symptoms and impairment on depression were, in part, mediated by illness intrusiveness. Although symptoms severity and impairment had both direct and indirect effects on depression, illness intrusiveness was the strongest predictor of depression.

“…Other outcomes measured by using a visual analogue scale were intensity of fatigue (0 ϭ none, 10 ϭ worst ever), sleep quality (0 ϭ worst ever, 10 ϭ best ever), and overall well-being (0 ϭ worst ever, 10 ϭ best ever). We assessed physical and mental functioning by using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (14), which has high reliability and validity in many patient groups, including those with chronic pain and fatigue (15,16). The Short Form-36 Physical and Mental Component Summary scores are standardized in the U.S. population to have a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10, with higher scores indicating better functioning (17).…”

ĮvadasSegančiųjų lėtiniu širdies nepakankamumu (LŠN) ir lėtiniu nuovargiu (LN) bei lėtiniu nuovargio sindromu (LNS) kvėpavimo dujų pernašos, dujų apykaitos sutrikimai yra nepakankamai ištirti. Progresuojant ŠN, blogėja hemodinamika, dujų pernaša tampa neefektyvi. Blogėja raumenų metabolizmas ir dujų apykaita audiniuose. Ligoniai blogai toleruoja fizinį krūvį, mažėja jų fizinis pajėgumas. Funkcinį kvėpavimo, širdies ir kraujagyslių sistemos pajėgumą iš dalies rodo fiziologinis stresas atliekant izotoninio krūvio mėginį. O. Inbar ir kolegų duomenimis, esant tam pačiam deguonies sunaudojimui (VO 2 ), sergančiųjų LN būna mažes-nis ŠSD, VCO 2 , didesnė minutinė ventiliacija ir anglies dioksido ventiliacinis ekvivalentas (1). De Becker su kolegomis nustatė, kad, sergančiųjų LNS, maksimalus atliktas darbas ir maksimalus deguonies pasisavinimas būna beveik dvigubai mažesnis nei sveikų žmonių (2). C. Sargent ir kolegos teigia atvirkščiai -sergančiųjų LNS maksimalus deguonies sunaudojimas, ŠSDmaks. ir laktato metabolizmas, sergant LN, nesiskiria nuo sveikų nejudrių to paties amžiaus abiejų lyčių asmenų (3). Nustatyta, kad pacientams, kurių mažesnis širdies ir kraujagyslių sistemos atsakas į fizinį stresą, būna labiau išreikšti LN simptomai ir tai patvirtino sergančiųjų LN skundus, kad fizinis stresas dar sustiprina LN simptomus (2, 4).Manome, kad, papildomai vertinant ne tik atliktą darbą ir deguonies sunaudojimą, bet ir išvestinius ventiliacijos rodiklius: deguonies ir anglies dioksido ventiliacinius ekvivalentus (MV/VO 2 , MV/VCO 2 ), dujų apykaitos santykį RQ (VCO 2 /VO 2 ), kvėpuojamojo oro deguonies ir anglies dioksido parcialinį slėgį (pO 2 , pCO 2 ), arterinio kraujo įsotinimą deguonimi, galima
