“…These memory impairments have been interpreted as a reflection of attentional rather than true memory deficits. Researchers have found that the way in which information is attended to and processed has a direct impact on the quality of the memory trace (Van Zomeren and Brouwer, 1994). Specifically, slowed processing has been found to limit elaboration of information during encoding.…”

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Need for Subtypes

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an important condition confronting patients, clinicians, and researchers. This article provides information concerning the need for appropriate diagnosis of CFS subtypes. We first review findings suggesting that CFS is best conceptualized as a separate diagnostic entity rather than as part of a unitary model of functional somatic distress. Next, research involving the case definitions of CFS is reviewed. Findings suggest that whether a broad or more conservative case definition is employed, and whether clinic or community samples are recruited, these decisions will have a major influence in the types of patients selected. Review of further findings suggests that subtyping individuals with CFS on sociodemographic, functional disability, viral, immune, neuroendocrine, neurology, autonomic, and genetic biomarkers can provide clarification for researchers and clinicians who encounter CFS' characteristically confusing heterogeneous symptom profiles. Treatment studies that incorporate subtypes might be particularly helpful in better understanding the pathophysiology of CFS. This review suggests that there is a need for greater diagnostic clarity, and this might be accomplished by subgroups that integrate multiple variables including those in cognitive, emotional, and biological domains.

“…The intensity aspects are probably a prerequisite for the more complex and capacity demanding dimensions of attention selectivity (Posner and Boies, 1971;Posner and Petersen, 1990;van Zomeren and Brouwer, 1994;Sturm et al, 1997Sturm et al, , 2004.…”

“…Les déficits spécifiques des fonctions attentionnelles ont été le plus souvent étudiés dans le cadre du modèle de Van Zomeren et Brouwer [4] distinguant parmi les fonctions attentionnelles : l'attention focalisée, l'attention divisée, l'attention soutenue et l'alerte phasique. La plupart des études expérimentales concordent pour admettre l'existence, chez les traumatisés crâniens sévères, d'un déficit de l'attention divisée.…”

Les traumatismes crâniens (TC) sévères sont responsables de troubles cognitifs complexes associant troubles de la mémoire, troubles de l'attention, ralentissements cognitifs, déficits des fonctions exécutives, modification du caractère et du comportement. Il s'y associe fréquemment une fatigue mentale. Ces déficits peuvent passer inaperçus s'ils ne sont pas évalués par des équipes spécialisées, ce d'autant que les patients sont souvent anosognosiques (on parle de « handicap invisible »). Ces troubles sont autant d'obstacles à la réinsertion sociale et/ou professionnelle. Toutefois, des progrès importants ont été réalisés depuis quelques années, tant dans le domaine de la rééducation cognitive que dans celui de la réadaptation-réinsertion.Abstract Severe traumatic brain injury is associated with complex cognitive deficits including memory problems, attention deficits, slowed information processing, dysexecutive syndrome, and behavioural modifications. These deficits may be difficult to detect. They may have a harmful impact on social and vocational reintegration. However, recently there have been advances in the rehabilitation of these cognitive impairments and in social and vocational reintegration programmes.
