Presentation
We conclude that a history of symptoms for greater than two weeks at presentation is strongly predictive of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fatigue
7, † and parvovirus B19. † † The bacteria Coxiella burnetii † and Chlamydia pneumoniae † are known causes of chronic fatigue syndrome (antibiotics can treat these bacterial forms of chronic fatigue syndrome). [sites.google.com]
Due to the almost constant pain and fatigue that is characteristic of autoimmune disorders, these must be treated first and effectively in order to allow the individual to function more normally. [ambha.org]
The Living Longer Living Stronger with Chronic Conditions program is designed to provide support needed to find practical ways to deal with pain and fatigue, better nutrition and exercise choices, new treatment choices and better ways to talk with doctors [ok.gov]
While controversy has long swirled in the United States around such illnesses as chronic fatigue syndrome and Epstein-Barr virus, no disorder has been more aggressively contested than environmental illness, a disease whose symptoms are distinguished by [jstor.org]
The 12th May is the FM-Fibromyalgia, ME-Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and CFS-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome International Awareness Day. [alternattiva.org.mt]

Recent Viral Illness
The likelihood of chronic disease was determined by logistic regression analysis of five patient variables: age, sex, season of onset of symptoms, history of recent viral illness, and duration of symptoms at presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Oral Ulcers
He remained stable until the 17th month when, following a typical viral upper respiratory tract infection, he experienced acute worsening of the oral ulcerations and hyperbilirubinemia (8.5 mg/dl). [nature.com]

Musculoskeletal Pain
BACKGROUND: Chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as asthma, diabetes, cancer, and persistent musculoskeletal pain impose an escalating and unsustainable burden on young people, their families, and society. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hemoglobin Decreased
In health center 1, HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) decreased 0.15 millimoles per mole (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.24, -0.06), body mass index decreased 0.29 kilograms per meter squared (CI -0.39, -0.20), and total cholesterol decreased 11.9 milligrams [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Triglycerides Decreased
In health center 2, HbA1c decreased 0.43 millimoles per mole (CI -0.7, -0.17), body mass index decreased by 0.08 kilograms per meter squared (CI -0.14, -0.02), and triglycerides decreased by 22.50 milligrams per deciliter (CI -39.0, -6.0). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Despite these similarities, treatments for diabetes are well covered by insurance, whereas tobacco dependence treatments are often limited. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment of oral cGVHD can be challenging since immunosuppressive therapy may increase the risk of serious infections. Intra-oral psoralen ultraviolet A irradiation (PUVA) treatment is a novel treatment approach for localized cGVHD. [nature.com]
Prognosis
It is unclear why these elevations occur; yet they cannot be ignored as cTn levels in chronically unwell patients are directly correlated to prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
Because of the cross-sectional nature of the analysis, the findings do not provide information on the etiology of incident chronic conditions among household members. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Some scientists believe that a substantial percentage of chronic human diseases with currently unknown etiology may in fact be caused by infectious agents. [sites.google.com]
There are epidemiological, phenomenological, and etiological reasons to say that. Loneliness being a common human emotion is, however, a complex and unique experience to each individual. [dx.doi.org]
Epidemiology
One possible barrier to improving epidemiologic capacity in chronic disease prevention and health promotion programs is that chronic disease program managers and public health decision makers may have a limited understanding of basic chronic disease epidemiology [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
The measurement of microvascular (endothelial) function is important to understand the pathophysiologic mechanisms that contribute to MVD and the role of MVD in the development and progression of cardiometabolic/renal disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The deeper we dig, the more convoluted becomes the pathophysiology of chronic disease. [aeon.co]
Moncada is able to look back on his work with satisfaction: ‘I think that we have improved the understanding not only of the physiology but the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. [doi.org]
The authors concluded that their results from proteomic and genomic aspects both indicate that acute phase reaction is likely to be an etiological agent in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, rather than just an accompanying symptom. [physrev.physiology.org]
