Building on the important prior work done at Derby by Callum Thomas et al under @profmarkfaghy.bsky.social

👏👏👏
These findings highlight the important role for two-day CPET in research and clinical applications, because the methodology allows for the observation of submaximal performance decrements in the post-exertional state that reliably distinguish PEM from normal responses. Thomas et al [23] reported on a decline in second-day submaximal exercise performance on symptom-limited two-day CPET in males and females with Long COVID. They did not specifically compare with ME/CFS and non-disabled controls, so findings from this study build on the work by Thomas et al [23] in corroborating the presence of submaximal exercise impairment in Long COVID. Findings from the present study also empirically verify the suggestions made by Thomas et al's [23] prior work that submaximal exercise responses are different between people with Long COVID and sex-specific non-disabled controls, as well similar between groups of people living with Long COVID and pre-COVID ME/CFS. This study also addresses key methodological limitations of a prior study that found null results in submaximal exercise performance in people with Long COVID (24], through greater sample size and statistical power, sex-stratified analysis, and the use of appropriate non-disabled and disease comparison groups. 23.

FYI, what an American professor with a lot of expertise on the matter says about it:
“we actually do have a biomarker for PEM to be deployed in clinical trials—reduced submaximal work efficiency and early anaerobiosis on the second of a two-day cardiopulmonary exercise test.”

ME/CFS and #LongCOVID Demonstrate Similar Bioenergetic Impairment and Recovery Failure on Two-Day Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing

www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-8...

#MEcfs #CFS #PwME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis
Abstract Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long Covid are characterized by post-exertional malaise (PEM). Similarities in disease presentation suggest important commonalities in bioenergetic impairment, but this hypothesis has not been demonstrated. The metabolic underpinnings of each disease can be elucidated by two cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) administered 24 hours apart. This retrospective study examined physiological responses on two-day CPET in people with ME/CFS (63 females and 21 males), Long Covid (52 females and 27 males), and matched non-disabled control participants (51 females and 20 males). Data were analyzed within sexes using repeated measures analysis of variance. All participants met maximal effort criteria. There were significant reductions in oxygen consumption ( O₂) and workload at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) in both patient groups compared to non-disabled controls, with larger effect sizes at VAT than at peak exertion. Performance decrements were observed in both sexes. Females exhibited more pronounced abnormalities and significant group by test effects. No significant differences were observed between patient groups. Severe disability based on impaired O₂ was prevalent in both patient groups. Hemodynamic and ventilatory measures were within normal ranges. ME/CFS and Long Covid both involve a functionally significant bioenergetic failure complicated by inadequate post-exertional recovery, which is similar between the conditions and unexplained by hemodynamic and ventilatory changes. Findings support the utility of two-day CPET as an objective measure of PEM and functional impairment. Future studies may integrate mechanistic biomarkers with two-day CPET as trial endpoints and to establish likely responses to treatments for PEM.

An Overview of Severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - New article by @huisarts-vink.bsky.social just dropped www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/15...

As always, thank you for your excellent work, Mark🙏🏻

#MECFS
Screenshot from Mark Vink's new article, An Overview of Severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. "Abstract In this article, we have reviewed the literature on severe myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). ME/CFS is a clinical diagnosis in the absence of a diagnostic test. However, in research settings and disability disputes, 2-day cardiopulmonary exercise testing can be used to diagnose and document the abnormal response to exercise. Biomedical research into this disease has been scarce and underfunded for decades. Consequently, there are no effective treatments. In its most severe form, it is more disabling than many other diseases, and patients are bedbound 24/7, dependent on carers, and spend their days in dark and quiet rooms. Even the soft sound of a human voice can lead to further deterioration. Some of the very severely ill suffer from life-threatening malnutrition and need to be tube-fed. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sharp increase in the number of patients with post-infectious diseases, and many of them fulfill ME/CFS criteria. Dedicated, focused research using advanced medical technologies is needed to gain further understanding of the underlying disease mechanism. This will enable us to find effective pharmacological treatments and address the unmet medical needs of these very ill people." Source: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/15/2/805

On PEM.

#LongCovid
#ME
When we apply the diagnosis that makes the most sense based on our training, we may unintentionally leave patients feeling dismissed. It is more honest -and often more compassionate -to admit when we don't have all the answers, while acknowledging that we believe them and are committed to working together to find answers. This approach is far more respectful than attributing symptoms we don't fully understand to a psychiatric etiology. Too many Long COVID patients have presented to their physicians with symptoms such as post-exertional malaise and have been dismissed. Post-exertional malaise, which is a hallmark symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and a symptom for many patients with Long COVID, is indeed an unusual presentation when we try to reconcile the condition with what we know about normal human physiology. Patients with post-exertional malaise can develop flu-like symptoms, brain fog, or extreme fatigue after an activity that may seem minimal to others, and the malaise can develop anywhere from 12 to 48 hours after the activity. For most medical conditions, recommending exercise, sometimes graded exercise therapy, is appropriate to help the patient to improve and recover. However, for patients with post-exertional malaise, graded exercise therapy can be dangerous. Exercising outside of their energy envelope can cause a crash that can last hours to days to months. The mechanism of post- exertional malaise has been studied. In a 2024 study, healthy patients and patients with a diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome were asked to perform cardiopulmonary stress tests 2 days in a row. 18 The healthy controls had similar findings on both days, whereas the patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome had more severe impairment status on day 2. The findings were consistent with autonomic nervous system dysregulation of blood flow and oxygen delivery rather than deconditioning. 1 In another study, blood and skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained before and after a maximal exercise test from patients with Long COVID and from controls who had completely recovered from a SARS-CoV-2 infection. 19 Overall, the data suggested that the poor performance of patients with Long COVID is related to a higher proportion of quickly fatiguing muscle fibers (high-fatigable glycolytic fibers) and an impaired function of the mitochondria. The process by which mitochondria convert nutrients into energy appears to be disrupted in patients with Long COVID. 19
