2023 EULAR recommendations for the management of fatigue in people with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.

OBJECTIVES: Fatigue is prevalent in people with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (I-RMDs) and recognised as one of the most challenging symptoms to manage. The existence of multiple factors associated with driving and maintaining fatigue, and the evidence about what improves fatigue has led to a multifaceted approach to its management. However, there are no recommendations for fatigue management in people with I-RMDs. This lack of guidance is challenging for those living with fatigue and health professionals delivering clinical care. Therefore, our aim was to develop EULAR r…

Concussion leads to opposing sensorimotor effects of habituation deficit and fatigue in zebrafish larvae.

Concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, is caused by sudden mechanical forces impacting the brain either directly or through inertial lo … eceding concussive insult. To investigate the relative contributions of habituation performance and fatigue on the escape response behaviour, we constructed a neurocomputational model. Our findings suggest that a concussive impact initially affects habituation performance at first and, as the impact force increases, fatigue is induced. Fatigue then alters …

A perspective on the evidence for glymphatic obstruction in spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome and fatigue.

Spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) alters the vision of astronauts during long-duration spaceflights. Previously, the current authors have discussed the similarities and differences between SANS and idiopathic intracranial hypertension to try to elucidate a possible pathophysiology. Recently, a theory has been advanced that SANS may occur secondary to failure of the glymphatic system caused by venous dilatation within the brain and optic nerves. There is recent evidence to suggest glymphatic obstruction occurs in childhood hydrocephalus, multiple sclerosis and syringomyelia du

Influence of microarchitecture on stressed volume and mechanical fatigue behaviour of equine subchondral bone.

Fractures of the equine metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint are among the most common and fatal injuries experienced by racehorses. These bone injuries are a direct result of repetitive, high intensity loading of the skeleton during racing and training and there is consensus that they represent a mechanical fatigue phenomenon. Existing work has found the fatigue life of bone to be strongly determined by bone microarchitecture and the resulting stressed volume (i.e., the volume of bone stressed above assumed yield). The purpose of this study was to quantify the influence of bone microarchitecture o…

"I'm always going to be tired": a qualitative exploration of adolescents' experiences of fatigue in depression.

Adolescent depression is a prevalent and disabling condition, but current psychological treatments are only moderately effective. One way to enhance outcomes is to further our understanding of adolescent depression and improve our capacity to target the most frequently reported and problematic symptoms. A common but often neglected symptom of depression is fatigue, which is associated with considerable impairment and has the potential to interfere with adolescents' engagement in psychological therapies. Despite this, the experience of fatigue in adolescent depression and how we target it in tr…

Is Cepstral Peak Prominence a Measure of Vocal Fatigue in Temple Priests: A Pilot Study.

PURPOSE: Considering cepstral analysis of voice as a measure of overall severity of dysphonia, we tried to investigate if these measures could be considered as a metric of vocal fatigue as well. Since voice quality changes are seen as a result of vocal fatigue, we wanted to find out if there were any correlations between the cepstral measures, vocal fatigue symptoms, and auditory perceptual evaluation of voice in professional voice users. METHOD: The pilot study was conducted on 10 temple priests belonging to the Krishna Consciousness Movement. We conducted a pre-post voice evaluation, which …

Deformable hard tissue with high fatigue resistance in the hinge of bivalve Cristaria plicata.

The hinge of bivalve shells can sustain hundreds of thousands of repeating opening-and-closing valve motions throughout their lifetime. We studied the hierarchical design of the mineralized tissue in the hinge of the bivalve Cristaria plicata, which endows the tissue with deformability and fatigue resistance and consequently underlies the repeating motion capability. This folding fan-shaped tissue consists of radially aligned, brittle aragonite nanowires embedded in a resilient matrix and can translate external radial loads to circumferential deformation. The hard-soft complex microstructure c…

Effect of Surface Finishing State on Fatigue Strength of Cast Aluminium and Steel Alloys.

The endurance limit of structural mechanical components is affected by the residual stress state, which depends strongly on the manufacturing process. In general, compressive residual stresses tend to result in an increased fatigue strength. Post-manufacturing processes such as shot peening or vibratory finishing may achieve such a compressive residual stress state. But within complex components, manufacturing-process-based imperfections severely limit the fatigue strength. Thus, the interactions of imperfections, residual stress state and material strength are key aspects in fatigue design. I…
