If we find that a treating source's medical opinion on the issue(s) of the nature and severity of an individual's impairment(s) is well-supported by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic techniques and is not inconsistent with the other substantial evidence in the case record, the adjudicator will give it controlling weight.

Though many planes are carefully inspected for metal fatigue, it is much harder to find on models that are not extensively used, said John Goglia, an airplane maintenance expert and former member of the safety board.
One method for finding fatigue before an accident is to spread a dye on the metal, wait for it to seep into cracks and then wipe the surface clean.
The safety board is probably months away from concluding that metal fatigue was the immediate cause of the Miami crash, said people with experience in its investigations.

 MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Chronic fatigue syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a condition of prolonged and severe tiredness or weariness (fatigue) that is not relieved by rest and is not directly caused by other conditions.
Recent studies have shown that chronic fatigue syndrome may be caused by inflammation of pathways in the nervous system, and that this inflammation may be some sort of immune response or autoimmune process.
To be diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, the tiredness must be severe enough to decrease ability to participate in ordinary activities by 50%.

Medical oncologists must be familiar with research methodologies that are applicable to patients with cancer, including: quality-of-life research, pain measurement and research, measurement of other physical and psychological symptoms (dyspnea, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, depression and anxiety, desire for death), needs evaluation, decision-making research, and palliative care audit.
Medical oncologists must be familiar with the evaluation and management of the common psychological and existential symptoms of cancer, including: anxiety, depression, delirium, suicidal desire or desire for death, death anxiety, and anticipatory grief.
Since the goals of medical oncology extend beyond the reduction of tumor burden and the deferral of death to incorporate a qualitative dimension, there is a need for a continuum in patient care, in which both primary therapies and supportive and palliative interventions are tailored to the patient's clinical circumstances.
