Bioscreen is now on the web at www.bioscreenmedical.com .

The Bioscreen testing program had its origin in the work of a multidisciplinary research group known as the "Collaborative Pain Research Unit" at the University of Newcastle in Australia. There were abstracts of some interesting papers on the CPRU's original web pages which never found a new online home - I'm leaving the titles here in the hope that I will be able to provide new links for them eventually:

• Preliminary Determination of the Association between Symptom Expression and Urinary Metabolites in Subjects with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by Neil R. McGregor et al. The article that announced the discovery of CFSUM1. [cpruis/Abstracts.html]
• Host verses Acquired Responses in Chronic Fatigue Disorders by Neil R McGregor - which symptoms are a typical response of the patient's body to disease, and which are the effect of the disease itself? [cpruis/Ntalk98.htm]
• Homeostatic heterogeneity in CFS Patients, about the identification of sub-types of CFS, by Hugh Dunstan. [cpruis/Htalk98.htm]
• Slide show: The development of laboratory tests for investigating chronic fatigue and pain disorders - what the "Newcastle tests" can show. [cpruis/lab1998/index.htm]
• Slide show: Low Urinary Serine Output is Associated with an Altered Faecal Microbial Flora in Chronic Fatigue/pain Patients - "Serine deficiency is an important factor contributing to the severity of symptoms in patients with CFS" - how it may be connected with gut dysbiosis. [cpruis/1Micro98/index.htm]
• Slide show: An association of membrane-damaging toxins from coagulase-negative staphylococci and chronic muscle pain - can pain be the result of chronic bacterial infection? [cpruis/2Micro98/index.htm]
