38. Impaired sleep in chronic fatigue syndrome: how is it best measured?

Author

Creti L, Libman E, Baltzan M, Rizzo D, Bailes S, and Fichten CS

Abstract

The goal was to examine comparative efficacy of polysomnography, actigraphy, and self-report in evaluating the sleep/wake experience of individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Sleep parameters were evaluated by the three measurement modalities for the same night in 49 participants with CFS. Psychological and daytime functioning were measured by self-report. Results indicate that: (a) objectively measured nocturnal sleep time effectively approximated subjective experience although nocturnal wakefulness did not; (b) total sleep time and sleep efficiency differentiated individuals with and without insomnia complaints; (c) daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and non-refreshing sleep were not reflected by the objective sleep-related measures (polysomnography and actigraphy).

39. Descriptors of fatigue in chronic fatigue syndrome.

Author

Libman E, Creti L, Rizzo D, Jastremski M, Bailes S, and Fichten CS

Abstract

Objective: To explore how individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) describe their fatigue experience and examine how this differs from descriptions of fatigue in healthy controls. Methods: Fifty-two individuals with CFS and 27 controls listed words that described their fatigue. These words were grouped into 18 categories. Results: Individuals with CFS used more categories to describe their fatigue and more descriptors within each category. The most popular category used by both groups was energy depletion/physical weakness. CFS participants also experienced their fatigue as limiting their ability to function, frustrating, permanent/persistent, out of their control, depressing, and pervading all aspects of their lives. Controls reported that when they experienced fatigue, it was temporary, and they felt unmotivated, sleepy, and comfortable. Conclusion: The multidimensional descriptive pattern characterizing the fatigue of individuals with CFS differs dramatically from the experienced fatigue of healthy individuals, suggesting their 'language of fatigue' has a distinctive quality.

48. A CASE OF SYSTEMIC INFECTION BY A PARACOLON BACILLUS PROBABLY SECONDARY TO TYPHOID FEVER.: WITH THE CLINICAL PICTURE OF ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS.

Author

BERG, A. A. and LIBMAN, E.

Abstract

It would appear from a series of publications which have appeared during the last six years that the members of the group of bacilli intermediate to the typhoid and colon bacilli are destined to become of as much interest in surgical pathology as the typhoid bacillus. MENTION OF PUBLISHED CASES. It is not our purpose on this occasion to give a complete summary of all the cases of this form of infection that have been described, but it will be of interest to make some note of the cases which have a direct surgical bearing.If we exclude for the present the scattered cases of cystitis and pyelonephritis in which bacilli of this group have been found in the urine, apparently either primary or secondary, we find that the first striking instance of such an infection of surgical interest is the second of the two cases reported by Achard and

50. A PRACTICAL METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD PASSING OVER DURING DIRECT TRANSFUSION

Author

LIBMAN, E. and OTTENBERG, R.

Abstract

It is obvious that it would be a great improvement in the therapeutic application of direct blood transfusion if there were some accurate method of determining, during the actual course of the transfusion, how much blood is being transfused. As with all forms of medication, so with transfusion, the correct dosage may be the determining factor in obtaining a proper therapeutic result.Up to the present there has been no such method, and surgeons have generally followed some rough and ready rule, such as to transfuse for from fifteen to forty-five minutes, or until the donor showed distinct signs of acute anemia, or until the percentage of the patient's hemoglobin showed a rise.An accurate method of estimating the amount being transfused would be of especial importance from two points of view: (1) in order to avoid any danger to the donor from the taking of an excessive amount of
