  Study finds ddI but not d4T associated with risk for symptomatic mitochondrial toxicity in RIBAVIC during IFN/RBV ...
Symptomatic mitochondrial toxicity occurred in 11 of the 383 patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication (symptomatic hyperlactatemia and pancreatitis in 6 and 5 patients, respectively).
Symptomatic mitochondrial toxicity occurred in 8 (15.4%) of the 52 patients treated with ddI and d4T and in 3 (9.6%) of the 31 patients treated with ddI without d4T.
Conversely, the incidence of symptomatic mitochondrial toxicity in patients receiving both anti-HCV and anti-HIV therapy was higher (47.5 per 1000 patient-years, based on 278 patient-years of ribavirin therapy) than that reported in patients receiving anti-HIV treatment alone, suggesting that an interaction between the 2 treatments increases the risk of symptomatic mitochondrial toxicity.

 Controversy Continues Over Treating Symptomatic People with Normal TSH Levels / A Look at Weetman's July 2002 ...
To qualify for the study, the 25 symptomatic patients had to have at least three symptoms from among a list that included: fatigue, lethargy, problems with excess body weight, intolerance to cold, hair loss, dry skin/hair.
Of particular interest was the fact that the symptomatic group responded to placebo better than controls on 3 of 15 psychological measures, versus no improvement in the control group.
Because, while Weetman may be satisfied that a normal TSH and free T4 rule out hypothyroidism or further treatment, he has overlooked a number of obvious issues that call the study results into question, as well as a number of unresolved questions that are at the real heart of the controversy.

 eMedicine - Early Symptomatic HIV Infection : Article Excerpt by: Kirk M Chan-Tack, MD
Background: The clinical effects of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are diverse, ranging from an acute syndrome associated with primary infection to a prolonged asymptomatic state to advanced disease.
HIV disease with active virus replication usually progresses during this asymptomatic period, and the rate of disease progression correlates directly with HIV RNA levels.
Equally important is the fact that the clinical findings at the stage of disease encompassed by early symptomatic HIV infection, while indicative of a decline in immune function, are generally less predictive of overall patient status than the data obtained from serial measurements of CD4 cell counts.

 Powell's Books - Symptomatic by Danzy Senna
Senna's Caucasia was a highly acclaimed debut that went on to become a contemporary classic.
In Symptomatic, she takes questions of identity a step further, in a beautifully written novel that is at once suspenseful, erotic, clever, and, as The New York Times wrote of Caucasia, "deeply intelligent."
"I guess Symptomatic is about the ruthlessness of society to people who just don't fit in....However sad the circumstances, the author has found an extraordinarily original way of addressing this aspect of our national narrative."
