Type of condition and disability rating were associated with use. Over 65% of those with major depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Agent Orange exposure, or diabetes used VHA health care, as did 76% of those with a 100% rating. Almost one third of users of VHA health care ...
Of particular relevance to the study of GWI and PTSD comorbidity is the recent work showing that genetic variants in the PON1 gene are associated with an increased rate of developing GWI after chemical exposure [30]. PON1 encodes for serum paraoxonase 1 (PON-1) an enzyme that has multifuncti...
Two months after PB exposure, mice were treated with PEA and subsequently assessed for in vivo and ex vivo gut functions, the structure and function of the ENS, and immune responses in the gut and brain. Surprisingly, our results show little lasting effects of PB treatment at 5 months, ...
Both outbreaks were associated with the consumption of raw oysters (110). The lack of confirmed human infections from the consumption of infected raw or undercooked shellfish might stem from the difficulties in correlating the exposure to the consumption, given the long incubation periods of up to...
associated with absence of active tuberculosis in healthy physicians. The presented results show healthy physicians with highly similar miRNA expression levels to tuberculosis patients. This raises concerns about the efficiency of the current safety measures employed in long-term exposure to tuberculosis ...
This study assumes that if GWI is associated with some toxic exposure(s), an interventional strategy comprising a detoxification approach that could either reduce the burden of the toxins or reduce the toxic effects should be investigated. The specific intervention we are studying, developed in 1978...
