The essential arterial hypotension and allostasis registry is a prospective, observational research that has the purpose of demonstrating that essential blood pressure (BP) disorders and the associated comorbidities are a result of the inappropriate allostatic response to daily life stress. This required a functioning brain orchestrating the evaluation of the threat and choosing the response, this is a mind-mediated phenomenon. If the response is excessive it contributes to high BP, if deficient to low BP, and the BP itself will identify the allostatic pattern, which in turn will play an important role in the development of the comorbidities. To do so, consecutive patients of any age and gender that visit a cardiologist's office in Medellin, Colombia, are recruited. Individuals are classified according to their arterial BP and allostasis and follow them in time to see what kind of diseases develops the most (including BP) in the follow up according to the categorization of the characteristic chosen and after adjustment for confounder's variables. In addition, stress events with their date are registered. HYPOTHESIS The causes of the diseases are multifactorial. Physical, biochemical, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of development dynamically interact to shape the health development process. A person´s health depends on their: 1. Biological and physiologic systems 2. External and internal environment (a) physical, b) internal behavioural and arousal state as registered by the brain. 3. Their interaction. The allostatic mechanisms to the internal and external stressors (allostatic load) involves a network composed by: 1. Functional systems; mediated by: 1. The Autonomic Nervous System 2. The endocrine system 3. The immune system 2. Structural changes: whenever the internal and/or external stressors are long lasting and/or strength enough, they may induce changes in: 1. Epigenetic, endophenotypes, polyphenism. 2. Plasticity 3. The interaction between a) and b). The network response do not affect exclusively the BP, propitiating the development of comorbidities, which may prompt strategies for prevention, recognition and ultimately, treatment. The allostatic model defines health as a state of responsiveness. The concept of psycho-biotype: The allostasis is the result of both: biological (allostasis) and psychological (psychostasis) abilities. It is proposed that both components behave in similar direction and magnitude. Immune disorders may be associated with the development of cancer. High BP population has a higher sympathetic and lower vagal tone, this has been associated with a decrease in the immune´s system function. Resources and energy depletion: Terms like weathering have been used to describe how exposures to different allostatic loads gradually scrape away at the protective coating that keeps people healthy. It is postulated that High BP individuals have more resources and energy.
The use of an activity monitor to determine increase or decrease of activity in patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome.
background: The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) presents many disturbances multidimensional affect holistically to people who have the disease and current management of fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances present in this clinical entity is unsatisfactory. Hypothesis: The hypothesis of this essay is to contrast that acupuncture is more useful than placebo. The investigators suggest the use of a clinical study protocol (PEC), randomized, placebo-controlled, acupuncture technique, aimed at increasing the patient's sense of well-being, relief of pain and stiffness, acupuncture is effective to reduce fatigue, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders in patients diagnosed with CFS.
Observational study regarding the use of supplements in chronic fatigue syndrome patients
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a devastating and complex disorder. People with CFS experience overwhelming fatigue and a host of other symptoms that are not improved by bed rest. Interestingly, many of the symptoms experienced by people with CFS are identical to symptoms caused by long-term low-level exposure to mercury, which is called micromercurialism. This study will examine if the mercury binding substance IodoCarb(r) can improve the health of patients with CFS.
