From the CFIDS Association monthly webinar series (save the third Thursday of every month!):
At the last webinar, the attendees were polled on whose research they would most like to hear about and Dr. Medow came in first (by a slim margin). More webinars about research and other topics of interest to the CFS community are planned.
Going With the Flow Blood Flow, That Is
Speaker: Marvin Medow, PhD, New York Medical College
Date: Thursday, March 18, 2010
Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm EDT
Registration: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/817083361
It has long been established that many people with CFS experience symptoms like light-headedness associated with upright posture, broadly called orthostatic intolerance. Is it possible that these symptoms could be connected to impaired blood flow, ultimately reducing the amount of blood that flows to the brain? That's what researcher Marvin Medow, PhD, and his team at New York Medical College are investigating with their grant from the CFIDS Association of America. At this webinar, Dr. Medow will describe his study and the techniques his team uses to measure blood flow and chemical changes that may explain many of the symptoms experienced by CFS patients. You'll learn more about orthostatic intolerance, tilt table testing, transcranial Doppler and microdialysis.
