Preesall's Youthy club closes over bad behaviour of minority
It stated: “It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to close the Youthy for good after keeping it going for five years on a voluntary basis.
“Myself and the volunteers have for the last 6-9 months not enjoyed it anymore due to the bad behaviour of the few which has now affected the many. “We can no longer justify giving up hours of our own free time to be disrespected, verbally abused, ignored and totally taken for granted."That’s on top of the damage to the building, abuse shouted at parents dropping off younger children, damage to the Sports Hall and the trees on the park and recently my own car.
“In the 15 years at the centre I have never known teenagers like this. Some parents have been wonderful in trying to help tackle the issues and for that we are grateful.The message added: “If anyone would like to pick up the reins and start up another group for young people then please make contact as the equipment etc will be available for any new group.“And to all my past kids... thank you for some of the best experiences and memories. You know I will always be here for you.

Autoimmune gene expression profiling of fingerstick whole blood in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Journal of Translational MedicineBackground Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating condition that can lead to severe impairment of physical, psychological, cognitive, social, and occupational functions. The cause of ME/CFS remains incompletely understood. There is no clinical diagnostic test for ME/CFS. Although many therapies have been used off-label to manage symptoms of ME/CFS, there are limited, if any, specific therapies or cure for ME/CFS. In this study, we investigated the expression of genes specific to key immune functions, and viral infection status in ME/CFS patients with an aim of identifying biomarkers for characterization and/or treatment of the disease. Methods In 2021, one-hundred and sixty-six (166) patients diagnosed with ME/CFS and 83 healthy controls in the US participated in this study via a social media-based application (app). The patients and heathy volunteers consented to the study and provided self-collected finger-stick blood and first morning void urine samples from home. RNA from the fingerstick blood was tested using DxTerity’s 51-gene autoimmune RNA expression panel (AIP). In addition, DNA from the same fingerstick blood sample was extracted to detect viral load of 4 known ME/CFS associated viruses (HHV6, HHV7, CMV and EBV) using a real-time PCR method. Results Among the 166 ME/CFS participants in the study, approximately half (49%) of the ME/CFS patients reported being house-bound or bedridden due to severe symptoms of the disease. From the AIP testing, ME/CFS patients with severe, bedridden conditions displayed significant increases in gene expression of IKZF2, IKZF3, HSPA8, BACH2, ABCE1 and CD3D, as compared to patients with mild to moderate disease conditions. These six aforementioned genes were further upregulated in the 22 bedridden participants who suffer not only from ME/CFS but also from other autoimmune diseases. These genes are involved in T cell, B cell and autoimmunity functions. Furthermore, IKZF3 (Aiolos) and IKZF2
