SUMMARY:NASEM Hosts Chronic Illness Workshop with Key ME/CFS Voices
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine (NASEM) is hosting a two-day workshop bringing together clinicians\, researchers\, and other stakeholders to create a scientific paradigm shift by examining common biological and clinical factors in chronic illnesses associated with prior infectious disease.  \nThe public workshop\, “Toward a Common Research Agenda in Infection-Associated Chronic Illnesses: A Workshop to Examine Common\, Overlapping Clinical and Biological Factors\,” will take place June 29-30 and will include discussion of potential strategies to treat or prevent disease progression.  \nThe planning committee for this public workshop includes ME/CFS expert clinician and Solve Research Advisory Council member Dr. Peter Rowe\, and PolyBio Research Foundation Microbiologist Amy Proal\, PhD\, who is also a part of Solve’s Ramsay Research Grant network.  \nSolve M.E. Oved Amitay will attend\, and notes\, “This event is not unlike the transformative Institute of Medicine (IOM) expert committee meeting that yielded the impactful 2015 report\, ‘Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness.’ That report recommended new diagnostic criteria\, called for more research and underscored the profound impact that ME/CFS has on the millions who suffer worldwide. This Chronic Illness Workshop convenes some of the most important voices from the ME/CFS network with leaders from multiple disease spaces\, all working together to create a scientific foundation for research and increase collaboration to benefit numerous patient communities.” \nLearn more and register here.

SUMMARY:Autoimmune Encephalopathy Secondary to Infectious Disease:  A New Perspective on the Pathogenetic Interaction of the Immune System\, Infection\, Stress and Chronic Disease
DESCRIPTION:From the conference website:\n“This landmark leadership conference is sponsored by Georgetown University and The Foundation for Total Recovery. Guest speakers from around the world will include distinguished specialists from Oxford\, Columbia\, Duke\, and even the leading medical center in the Middle East—Sheba Medical Center in Israel. Plan to join us\, as we have an exciting three days scheduled. This conference is a critical and long-overdue rethink of how we approach ME/CFS\, neuropsychiatric disorders\, PANS/PANDAS\, chronic Lyme\, fibromyalgia\, and even long-haul COVID-19. \nWe believe the treatment of these diseases needs to be viewed through a different lens—that of immune dysregulation resulting in neuroinflammation. We have to give up our belief that these are standalone diseases—especially if we want the best outcomes for patients. \nThis is a radical paradigm shift\, but we need it badly. We hope as practitioners\, patients\, and caregivers you will join us for this discussion as we discuss the future of diagnostic\, treatment\, and recovery for these patients.\nThe goals of this conference are three-fold: \nFirst\, we will explore the role of genetic and epigenetic factors that predispose an individual for immune dysregulation.  \nSecondly\, we will analyze the current evidence for infection-mediated immune dysregulation as it relates to Fibromyalgia\, ME/CFS\, neuropsychiatric illnesses\, Post-Lyme syndrome\, PANS/PANDAS\, and the post COVID-19 long haul syndrome (Long Covid).  \nThirdly\, we will examine current and new diagnostic testing procedures and treatment options for these conditions.”\n\nSolve M.E. will host a virtual booth at this event. Please stop by to say hello!
