Research regarding dyspnea and fatigue has focused on the factors contributing to the symptoms. Physiologic factors, such as muscle use; psychological factors, such as anxiety and depression; and situational factors, such as hot weather, contribute to the symptoms of dyspnea and fatigue. Increased
Clozapine is an alternative antipsychotic medication used to control symptoms of schizophrenia and to reduce risks of suicidal behavior in patients who did not adequately respond to standard medication. Due to severe side effects including cardiomyopathy and myocarditis its clinical OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of aerobic exercise on physiological fatigue (time on treadmill), dyspnea [rate of perceived exertion (RPE) and forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1)], weight, and body composition in HIV-1-infected adults (200-499 x 106 CD4+
This study sought answers to 2 questions: (1) Is severe dyspnea to the point of exhaustion regularly accompanied by diaphragmatic fatigue in patients with moderately severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? (2) When diaphragmatic fatigue occurs in such patients, does theophylline prevent
The influence of clinical doses of drugs that affect beta-adrenoceptors has been examined on heart rate, blood pressure, duration of exercise, and on electrolyte concentrations (Na, K, Ca and Mg) during recovery from exercise in healthy volunteers. The drugs used were a beta 1-adrenoceptor
A new clinical index of dyspnea and fatigue has been applied to rate the condition of patients with congestive heart failure. The index has 3 components, each rated on a scale from 0 to 4, for the magnitude of the task that evokes dyspnea or fatigue, the magnitude of the pace (or effort) with which
The purpose of this small-scale study was to assess the existence of a symptom cluster involving breathlessness, fatigue and anxiety in patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing palliative radiation. A convenience sample of 27 patients were asked to complete a set of 100mm horizontal visual
PURPOSE The experience of patients with cancer often involves symptoms of fatigue, anorexia, depression, and dyspnea. METHODS We developed a set of standards through an iterative process of structured literature review and development and refinement of topic areas and standards and subjected
BACKGROUND
Aggregates of concurrent symptoms, known as symptom clusters (SxCls), are reported to have prognostic capabilities beyond that of single symptom alone. A SxCl of fatigue, dyspnea, and cough has been delineated in a number of lung cancer cohorts.

The objective of this study was
We describe a rare but sinister presentation of fatigue and dyspnoea in a 39-year-old woman at 16 weeks gestation. Blood tests and bone marrow aspirate confirmed the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. The patient was managed expectantly during pregnancy with plasma exchange and blood transfusion. The
Prospective data on fatigue in elderly persons with a hematological malignancy are rare. We aimed to determine the prevalence of fatigue and its association with clinical outcome and geriatric impairments in older individuals newly diagnosed with blood cancer. The EORTC QLQ-C30 and a
Fatigue is one of the most frequent symptoms in cancer patients. However, the precise causes of this fatigue are still unknown, and this situation makes it difficult to combat the problem. The present study was conducted to investigate factors correlated with fatigue in disease-free breast cancer
Morphine may decrease the intensity of chronic breathlessness but data from a large randomised controlled trial (RCT) are lacking. This first, large, parallel-group trial aimed to test the efficacy and safety of regular, low-dose, sustained-release (SR) morphine compared with placebo OBJECTIVE
This paper is a report of an exploration of relationships between demographic and clinical variables and the symptoms of breathlessness, depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleeping difficulties and pain for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
BACKGROUND
Research into chronic
