SUMMARY:Caring for The Caregiver
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Stephanie Harrison\, founder of The New Happy\, joins Solve M.E. to help you cultivate greater well-being. She will share her unique perspective as a caregiver fused with her expertise in applied positive psychology. Her interdisciplinary approach to studying happiness is based on hundreds of academic studies and original research that informs The New Happy philosophy that true\, lasting happiness comes from being of service to others. \nAs caregivers\, you live in service to others and embody this philosophy already. But you also need to receive care yourself\, too. During this special presentation in honor of National Caregivers Day 2023\, Stephanie will share insights on how you\, as a caregiver\, can support your own well-being as you care for your loved ones. The resources and philosophies she’ll share are grounded in peer-reviewed research and focus on self-compassion\, resilience\, and self-care.\nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUld-igqDIoEtSFgiTltGbHYMA4d0CX-plc

SUMMARY:Challenges in Ensuring Equity In the Study and Treatment of ME/CFS and Long Covid
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Peter Rowe\, MD (Professor of Pediatrics\, Director\, Johns Hopkins Children’s Center Chronic Fatigue Clinic) and Camille Broussard\, MD\, MPH (Assistant Professor in the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine)\, this webinar will explore the dissonant results of epidemiologic studies that suggest Latinx and Black individuals have a higher risk of ME/CFS and Long Covid than Whites\, while ME/CFS and Long Covid clinic populations in different countries are disproportionately composed of White individuals. We will look at the course of one young Black ME/CFS patient\, Jailyn Mercadel\, RN\, and hear from her about her experiences with the healthcare system. Dr. Broussard will then lead a discussion of the possible causes of the dissonant clinical and epidemiological findings\, and make suggestions for a more equitable approach to studies and clinical care. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 as a Trigger for ME/CFS: Severity Biomarkers and Underlying Mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Since the beginning of the pandemic\, SARS-CoV-2 has been suspected of causing chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). A well-controlled cohort study conducted by a group of researchers from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) has now shown that in the subset of patients who suffer from fatigue and exertion intolerance after mild-COVID-19\, around half of patients meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS. \nTheir findings also describe differences between post-COVID ME/CFS patients and ME/CFS patients in the correlation between hand grip strength and inflammatory biomarkers. This may indicate differences in underlying mechanisms. The researchers’ findings have been published in Nature Communications. \nIn this webinar\, Prof. Dr. Carmen Scheibenbogen (Acting Director of Charité’s Institute of Medical Immunology on Campus Virchow-Klinikum and Solve M.E. Ramsay Research Grant awardee) will discuss the findings of this study\, and how the new findings may help researchers to develop specific treatments for post-Covid ME/CFS and ME/CFS. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Severe ME Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on August 8\, Severe ME/CFS Awareness Day\, we reflect on the tremendous toll this devastating disease takes on individuals suffering from severe ME/CFS symptoms and remember the lives of those we have lost. \nPeople living with severe ME/CFS are often bed-bound and unable to perform everyday tasks without assistance — eating\, showering\, and even standing are made nearly impossible. Their symptoms can worsen from light\, sound\, and movement. Some need 24-hour care. These severe symptoms can prevent members of our community from accessing medical care and support and lead to isolation from family and friends. \nStay tuned for more information about honoring those suffering from severe ME/CFS.

SUMMARY:New Hope for Diagnosing and Treating Post-Infection Illnesses: Lessons Learned from HIV/AIDS
DESCRIPTION:In this special webinar\, Dr. Steven Deeks (Professor of Medicine-in-Residence at the University of California\, San Francisco) will be hosted by Solve M.E. Medical Advisor Dr. David Hardy (former Director of Division of Infectious Diseases at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center\, Los Angeles\, and Professor of Medicine at David Geffen School of Medicine\, University of California\, Los Angeles). The two long-time researchers and clinicians (practicing doctors) and veterans of the battle against HIV/AIDS\, will discuss how current studies on Long Covid\, informed by knowledge gained in other fields\, could help develop improved ways to diagnose and treat the broader challenge of post-infection illnesses\, such as ME/CFS. \nSince the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic Dr. Deeks has re-focused his clinical care and research activity on this urgent need. He is now a member of the Board of Directors for the UCSF-based amfAR Institute for HIV Cure Research and a principal investigator for the NIH’s RECOVER study. In their conversation\, Drs. Deeks and Hardy will discuss the emerging scientific and medical findings\, reflect on their HIV/AIDS experience and the importance of patient engagement in research and advocacy\, and discuss the prospects for treatments and therapies. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Is There a Herpesviruses-Related Antibody Signature In Patients With ME/CFS?
DESCRIPTION:Many patients with ME/CFS experience common herpesviruses infections at their disease onset. Alternatively\, others experience reactivation of the same infections during the disease course. These facts suggest the existence of a disease-specific antibody signature related to these viruses. However\, current evidence is conflicting about this signature due to the heterogeneous nature of the disease\, the use of distinct lab assays\, and small sample sizes\, among other reasons. \nIn this webinar\, Ramsay Grant researcher Nuno Sepúlveda\, PhD\, will present new findings on this signature\, which could form the basis for developing a future diagnostic tool for ME/CFS patients with an infectious trigger. \nPlease send questions for Dr. Sepúlveda to solvecfs@solvecfs.org. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:How We Can See ME/CFS Inflammation in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jarred Younger’s 2016 Ramsay Award was used to show that brain temperature is elevated in ME/CFS. This increased temperature is a sign of brain inflammation. The findings are now being replicated in a large group of individuals with ME/CFS. \nDr. Younger’s lab is now developing new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans that can determine whether someone is suffering from brain inflammation. The goal of this research is to conclusively show that brain inflammation should be made a primary target for ME/CFS treatment. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Younger will give updates on the brain inflammation research\, describe the studies coming up\, and discuss directions for improved ME/CFS treatment \n\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:ME/CFS: NO problem?
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, Francisco Westermeier\, PhD\, was awarded a Ramsay Research Grant by Solve M.E. to study endothelial function in ME/CFS. Like many other researchers in the Ramsay network\, Dr. Westermeier has since been dedicated to expanding the ME/CFS knowledge base. \nIn the coming months\, Dr. Westermeier and his team will be working to expand evidence of the reduced ability of ME/CFS patients to produce nitric oxide (NO). \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Westermeier will discuss this Solve M.E.- supported project that uses samples from the UK ME/CFS Biobank. \nPlease send questions for Dr. Westermeier to solvecfs@solvecfs.org.
